Sera ya faragha.

Ritual imejengwa kuzunguka tendo moja la mazoezi. Msimamo wetu wa faragha unafuata kanuni ile ile: kukusanya kidogo iwezekanavyo, kuonyesha tunachokusanya, na kamwe kutouza data yako.

Tunachokusanya

Ritual hahitaji akaunti na inaweza kutumika kwa ndani. Mazoezi yanafanyika katika kivinjari chako; ushiriki pekee wa hiari ni 6away Engine Contribution ulioelezwa katika sera hii, ambao unaweza kuuzima wakati wowote.

• Data ya mazoezi (mfululizo, muda, nia, kipindi cha mwisho) inahifadhiwa kwa ndani katika kivinjari chako, na kusawazishwa na akaunti yako ukiingia. Haishirikiwi vinginevyo — isipokuwa kwa 6away Engine Contribution ya hiari iliyoelezwa katika sera hii.
• Sampuli za Uwanja wa Eneo zinahesabiwa katika kivinjari chako kutoka crypto.getRandomValues(). Sampuli ghafi hazitumwi kamwe.
• Kumbukumbu za seva. Mtoa huduma wetu wa upangishaji anaweza kurekodi metadata ya kawaida ya ombi (IP, wakala wa mtumiaji, alama ya muda) kwa usalama na kuaminika. Hatutumii data hii kwa kufuatilia.

Tusichokikusanya

• Hakuna uchanganuzi wa mazoezi yako binafsi.
• Hakuna vifuatiliaji vya matangazo vya wahusika wengine.
• Hakuna ufikiaji wa kipaza sauti. Kamera na sensa ya mapigo ya moyo ya Bluetooth ni za kuchagua mwenyewe na zimezimwa kwa chaguo-msingi.
• Hakuna madai ya kitiba au ya uchunguzi. Body Signal ni ya uangalizi tu, na Uwanja wa Eneo si kipimo cha wewe.

Vidakuzi

Ritual haiweki vidakuzi vya kufuatilia. Hifadhi ya kazi katika kivinjari chako (mfano localStorage) inaweza kutumika kukumbuka mapendeleo kwa kipindi chako kijacho.

Kushiriki

Hatuuzi wala hatukodishi taarifa zako. Kitu pekee tunachoshiriki ni 6away Engine Contribution ya hiari na isiyo na utambulisho iliyoelezwa katika sera hii — na tu wakati umeiwasha. Ikiwa mamlaka ya kisheria inafanya ombi halali, tutajibu kama sheria inavyohitaji na kuwafahamisha watumiaji walioathirika pale inaporuhusiwa.

Watoto

Ritual haijafanywa kwa watoto chini ya umri wa miaka 13.

Mabadiliko

Tunaweza kusasisha sera hii mara kwa mara. Mabadiliko muhimu yataonyeshwa katika tarehe «Imesasishwa mwisho» hapo juu.

Mawasiliano

Maswali ya faragha yanaweza kutumwa kwa hello@ritual.guru.

6away Engine Contribution

Ritual can contribute anonymous, structured observations from your completed sessions to help improve the 6away Engine's understanding of ritual-state patterns. It is optional and off by default; you can turn it on anytime in Settings, and Ritual works fully either way.

• Only structured session summaries are sent — duration, intention, session depth and stability, interruptions, and (when Body Signal is on) derived heart-rate and HRV summary numbers.
• Never any journal, reflection, transcript, or free-form text — Ritual doesn't ask for those, and none are sent.
• Never raw sensor data: camera video and raw heartbeat (RR) intervals stay on your device; only the derived summaries leave it.
• No cross-workspace or cross-account data is shared.
• With contribution off, nothing from your sessions is sent — Ritual stays fully local-only.

Continuity

These sections are shown in English until they are translated. They add to the sections above: Continuity is part of your private ritual data; if you join Challenges, the information described below is shown to other eligible Challenges participants — separately from the optional 6away Engine Contribution, which joining never turns on; and the last section explains privacy requests, account deletion, and where your data is processed.

After each ritual you complete, Ritual shows you a private Continuity score out of 100. It reflects how continuously you remained in the ritual: the share of it you stayed in, less a little each time you left (switching apps or tabs, locking the screen, or the window losing focus). It does not measure attention, mental state, physiological coherence, or consciousness, and it never uses heart rate, HRV, camera, or other Body Signal data, or the Local Field.

To calculate it, Ritual counts how many times you left and how many seconds you were away. It records that you left and for how long — never where you went or what you did. These counts and the score, with its version, stay on your device: they are stored only in your browser, with that ritual, among the 500 most recent rituals it keeps. They are never sent to our servers or saved to your account, are not synced between your devices, and are removed when you clear this site's data in your browser. Continuity is never shown to anyone else, never sent with the 6away Engine Contribution, and never used in Challenges rankings.

Legal basis. If you sign in, we keep your practice history in your account to provide the sync you signed in for. Our legal basis is the performance of our agreement with you (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)). Continuity is not part of this: it is calculated and kept only on your device.

Challenges

Challenges are optional weekly leaderboards with their own opt-in, separate from your private ritual data and from the 6away Engine Contribution. Joining Challenges never turns on the Engine Contribution.

Participants earn one point for each UTC day on which they complete a ritual of 5, 10, 15, or 30 minutes, with a separate board for each length. You can take part if you are at least 18 years old: you sign in with your 6away account, choose a display name, tick one box confirming that you are at least 18 years old, and tick a second box agreeing that your display name, points, and ranking may be visible to other eligible Challenges participants. Live rankings may not always be open; while they are closed, no one can join, no ritual starts or points are recorded, and every board you see is a demonstration.

Who can take part, and where. Challenges are for adults aged 18 or older, in every country. You confirm your age yourself when you join: we don't ask for your date of birth, an identity document, or your address, and we don't estimate your age. If the law ever requires us to close Challenges in a particular country, our server would go by the country that our hosting provider derives from your connection's IP address; our app never reads your IP address, and we don't store your country. For now, the Challenges terms you agree to are in English, whatever language the app is in. In this policy, “eligible Challenges participants” means participants who are signed in and have agreed to the current version of the Challenges terms. If you have joined, you keep your participation and points wherever you are, and you can always change your display name, withdraw, and open the Challenges terms you agreed to, whatever language the app is in.

Legal basis. We show your display name and weekly points to other eligible Challenges participants only with your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)). You can withdraw your consent at any time, with immediate effect, by withdrawing from Challenges; this doesn't affect what was shown before you withdrew.

If you join, we store:

• the display name you choose, and a simplified form of it used only to keep names unique;
• a record of your consent — the version of the consent wording you agreed to (which also shows that you confirmed being at least 18 years old), the language and version of the legal text, and when you agreed (never your country, IP address, date of birth, or address) — and when you last changed your name;
• for each ritual you begin at a Challenges length while taking part, the time it started (by our server's clock) and its length; once that ritual is completed and timed by our server, also when it ended and which ritual in your practice history it belongs to;
• for each point you earn: the ritual's length, the day and week it counts toward, the version of the points rules, when the ritual was completed, and how long it ran as measured by our server. No Continuity score or other session detail is stored with it.

These records are linked to your account so they can be counted and deleted, but your account details are never shown with them. We keep your participant record and your points until you withdraw, and a ritual start only for as long as the point it earned; boards show only the current week.

Every other ritual start is deleted — one never completed, or one whose ritual earned no point (for example, a second ritual of the same length on the same UTC day). Your own are deleted when you next begin a ritual, and all of them when you withdraw. Any such start more than 3 hours old is also deleted by a cleanup that runs about once an hour, and whenever a participant begins a ritual. This usually happens within a few hours of a start becoming unusable, but the hourly cleanup is best-effort and a run can occasionally be missed, so we can't promise an exact deadline.

What others see. Only other eligible Challenges participants can see the real weekly boards; everyone else sees only a demonstration board. For each participant with a point that week, a board shows only their display name, how many days they practised at that length that week, and their rank. Choose a display name you're comfortable with others seeing.

Never shown to anyone else: your email address, your 6away name or profile, your Continuity, your heart rate, HRV, or camera data, which days or at what times you practised, or any other detail of your sessions.

Changes to the Challenges terms. If they change in substance, you'll be asked to agree again. Until you do, you don't appear on the boards and new rituals don't earn points.

Leaving. You can change your display name or withdraw at any time from the Challenges screen. Withdrawing immediately deletes your participation (including your consent record), your points, and your ritual starts, so you leave every board. Your practice history stays in your account, and Continuity stays on your device. Deleted Challenges data can remain in our database provider's point-in-time-restore history for up to 6 hours before it is gone for good.

Demonstration boards are labelled as such and show fictional participants — not real people and not 6away users. They contain no one's data. Any placement of yours shown against one is a preview, calculated in the app from your own rituals and visible only to you.

Your requests and where your data is stored

Requests. To ask for a copy of your data, a correction, or the deletion of your Ritual data, or with any privacy question, email hello@ritual.guru. We reply only to the email address on your account and act once you confirm from that address. We never ask for an identity document, your date of birth, your address, a password, or a one-time code. To leave Challenges, you can also use Withdraw in the app at any time.

Deleting your account. Ritual has no automatic or in-app account deletion; we delete accounts by hand when you ask. Deleting your account removes your Ritual account record, your synced practice history, and all your Challenges data. It doesn't delete your 6away sign-in account or anything already sent through the optional 6away Engine Contribution — if your request covers those, we pass it to whoever operates them — or what is stored in your browser, including Continuity, which you can remove by signing out and clearing this site's data. Deleted data can remain in our database provider's point-in-time-restore history for up to 6 hours, and in any copy of the database made before the deletion until that copy is deleted.

Where your data is processed. Ritual's app servers run in the United States (Vercel, Washington, D.C. region), and the database that holds your account, synced practice history, and Challenges data is in Singapore (Neon, on Amazon Web Services). If you use Ritual with an account, your data is therefore transferred to and processed in those countries, which may be outside the country where you live.
