Plain-language notice
Privacy
The public meditation and archive experience is designed to work without an account. KMEC does not need to build a profile of a visitor's spiritual practice to provide a timer, reading page, or source catalog.
Notice updated 2026-07-16 · this release includes no non-essential analytics
Data used by the public experience
- Account
- No public account is required for meditation or archive browsing
- Device preferences
- Session choices, favorites, and resume position may be stored locally on the visitor's device
- Essential logs
- The hosting service may process IP address, request time, browser information, and errors to deliver and protect the site
- Analytics
- This release does not add analytics, advertising pixels, or third-party tracking scripts
- Advertising
- The product brief prohibits advertising trackers
- Precise location

Meditation and search history
Preferences and session progress default to local device storage. Clearing site data in the browser removes those local records. If optional account synchronization is added later, it requires a new explanation and explicit consent.
Search terms can reveal sensitive interests. Public search works without an account, and analytics should omit raw query text or minimize it irreversibly. There is no public leaderboard, spiritual score, or named practice history.
Retention and deletion
Device-local preferences and session progress remain on that device until the visitor clears this site's data or removes the installed application. KMEC does not receive those records through this release.
The hosting service may retain limited security and delivery logs under its operational settings. A person may contact KMEC to ask what information is associated with a request and to request deletion where applicable. KMEC should document any future analytics retention period here before enabling analytics.
