Privacy Policy
Yuru Kiatsu
Yuru Kiatsu does not require an account. The developer does not collect personal information such as your name or email address. Your location is used only to look up the air pressure and is not stored in the app. The app does not show ads outside Japan.
Information the developer does not collect
The developer of this app does not collect or store any of the following.
- Personal information such as your name, email address, or phone number
- A history of your location (your location is used only when checking the pressure, and is not saved)
- Photos, camera, microphone, or contacts
- Usage analytics
Location
- The app uses your iPhone’s approximate location (to within a few kilometers) to look up the air pressure where you are.
- Your location is not saved in the app. It is read only at the moment the pressure is checked.
- You can change location permission at any time in your iPhone’s Settings. Without permission, the app cannot show the air pressure for where you are.
Advertising
When the app is downloaded from an App Store outside Japan, it does not show ads and does not use any advertising service. No advertising identifier is used, and the app does not track you across other apps and websites.
Only in the Japanese App Store, free users see a small banner ad (Google AdMob). For that, Google may collect an advertising identifier, your approximate region, and ad interaction and diagnostic data. The app does not ask for tracking permission, and your log and answers are never shared with advertisers.
Weather data (Apple WeatherKit)
- Air pressure and weather data come from Apple’s WeatherKit.
- To get this data, the location you choose (latitude and longitude) is sent to Apple. Apple handles it under Apple’s privacy policy.
- For details, see Apple’s Privacy Policy and the “Weather data source” page in the app’s Settings.
- The developer has no servers. Your location and weather data never reach the developer.
Data stored only on your device
The app saves only the following on your iPhone. None of it is sent to the developer.
- Your answers: when you answer the cat’s “How are you today?” with “I’m okay,” “So-so,” or “Not great,” the answer and the time are saved.
- What the cat remembers: such as the order of the cat’s words and your last answer, so the cat doesn’t repeat itself.
- Your area name: the name of the place shown in the app, such as your city (location coordinates are not saved).
- Pressure sensitivity: your choice of “Normal” or “Sensitive.”
- Log: how you felt that day (a face), how many times you took medicine, and a short note (medicine names are not saved).
- Past pressure: to show each day’s pressure trend in the Log calendar, the pressure readings taken when you open the app (time and pressure value) are saved for each area (location coordinates are not saved).
- No one else, including the developer, can see this data.
- You can delete your answers, logs, saved pressure, and what the cat remembers from “Delete records” in the app’s Settings. You can also edit or delete each day’s log.
- Deleting the app deletes all of this data.
Paid plan (monthly / yearly)
- The paid plan is an auto-renewable subscription through Apple’s In-App Purchase. Payment, renewal, cancellation, and refunds are handled by Apple.
- The developer does not receive payment information such as credit card numbers.
- Your iPhone checks with Apple whether you have purchased. Nothing is sent to the developer’s servers.
- You can cancel at any time in iPhone Settings → your name → Subscriptions, or from “Manage subscription” in the app’s Settings.
Third-party services
- Apple WeatherKit: used to get air pressure, weather, and temperature data.
- Google AdMob (Japanese App Store only): used to show a small banner ad to free users.
Medical notice
- This app is not a medical device. It does not provide diagnosis, treatment, or medical advice.
- Labels such as “Caution” and “Alert” are general guides to pressure changes, not medical standards. If you feel unwell or your symptoms continue, please take it easy and consult a professional.
- We cannot answer health questions, including by email.
Children
This app can be used by people of any age. The developer does not collect personal information from anyone, including children.
