3. Local Storage (Offline-First)

Kaivalya is designed to work offline-first.

Information needed for your day-to-day experience can be stored locally on your device. This allows you to continue using important parts of the application even when an internet connection is unavailable.

Your locally stored app data generally remains on your device until you:

  • Delete the relevant data inside the application, where supported
  • Clear the application's storage
  • Uninstall Kaivalya
Note: Uninstalling the application or clearing its storage may permanently remove locally stored information that has not been synchronized.

4. Data Synchronization

When synchronization features are used, selected information may be securely transmitted to Kaivalya's backend services.

Synchronization is intended to help maintain your account and progress across supported application functionality.

Depending on the information required by the current version of Kaivalya, synchronized information may include:

  • • Current and best streak information
  • • League progress
  • • Sankalp records
  • • Relapse / recovery records
  • • Other information required to provide synchronization & account functionality

We do not synchronize every piece of locally generated information simply for the purpose of collecting data.

Kaivalya is designed without an advertising-first model.

These providers may process information only as necessary to provide their services to Kaivalya.

We do not authorize third-party service providers to use your personal Kaivalya journey for their own advertising purposes.

The services used by Kaivalya may change as the application evolves. This Privacy Policy will be updated when material changes are made.

Kaivalya requests Android permissions only when they are necessary for an application feature.

We do not request access to contacts, photos, location, microphone, or other device information unless a future Kaivalya feature genuinely requires that permission.
