Privacy Policy
ORMA ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we
collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use the ORMA Android application.
1. Our Core Promise: Offline First
ORMA is designed with an "Offline-First" philosophy. This means:
- Local Storage: All your journal entries, notes, photos, and voice memos are stored
directly on your device.
- No Behavior Tracking: We do not track your behavior, usage patterns, or digital
activity within other apps for advertising purposes.
- No Cloud Harvesting: We do not upload your journal content to our servers. We do not
have access to your data.
2. Data Handling & Privacy Protections
Your privacy is reinforced with security features built directly into the app:
- Biometric Protection: You can secure your journal entries with your device's
fingerprint or face authentication.
- GPS Metadata Protection: When you add photos, ORMA is designed to automatically exclude
GPS location metadata to protect your privacy.
- Encrypted Backups: ORMA offers industry-standard AES-GCM encryption for backups. If you
choose to set a password, your data is encrypted locally.
3. Permissions
To provide its core functionality, ORMA requires certain permissions solely for manual journaling:
- Microphone: Used only when you choose to record a voice memo.
- Camera/Storage: Used only when you choose to attach or take photos.
- Internet: Reserved for fetching metadata context for links you choose to share with
ORMA.
4. Third-Party Services
ORMA does not sell your data to third parties. We do not use third-party analytics SDKs. Standard Google Play
crash reporting may be used for stability. If mapping features are used, technical identifiers may be
processed by Google Services as part of their standard API operations.
5. Changes to This Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new
Privacy Policy on this page.
