HumanDesign88 Privacy Policy
Short version: HumanDesign88 has no account and no server of its own. Your birth details and saved charts are stored only on your device, and your charts are calculated on your device. We do not sell your data and we run no advertising. We use privacy-friendly product analytics that never includes your name, birth details or chart content. Limited technical data is sent only for crash reporting, app updates, birth-place search, analytics, and links you choose to open.
This Privacy Policy describes how Vedware ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you use the HumanDesign88 mobile application ("HumanDesign88" or the "App") on iOS and Android.
By using HumanDesign88, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
1. Who we are
HumanDesign88 is published by Vedware. Privacy-related information is available at humandesign88.vedware.com.
2. Information stored on your device
Information you enter in HumanDesign88 stays on your device in local app storage. This includes:
- Saved designs — the name, birth date, birth time, birth place and timezone you enter
- Which saved design you have marked as your primary chart
Charts themselves are never stored. They are recalculated from your birth details each time you open one. We do not operate a HumanDesign88 account or sync service, and your birth details are not uploaded to our servers as part of normal App use.
3. Chart calculation happens on your device
Astronomical positions are computed with a Swiss Ephemeris engine bundled inside the App, including the ephemeris data files it needs. Generating a chart, a transit view, a calendar or a connection chart requires no network access at all, and sends nothing anywhere.
4. Birth-place search
Searching for a birth place runs on your device, against a list of cities bundled in the App (data from GeoNames, licensed CC BY 4.0). What you type in that field is never sent anywhere.
5. Timezone lookup
The timezone of the place you select is resolved offline from a table bundled in the App, so it needs no network either.
6. AI prompt sharing
A chart screen offers an optional "Share an AI prompt" button. If you tap it, a text summary of that chart is put into your device's share sheet. It goes only to the app you pick there, or nowhere if you cancel. This happens only when you tap the button, and only with the chart you are viewing. Once shared, the content is handled under that app's own privacy policy, not ours.
7. Crash reporting
In release builds, HumanDesign88 uses Sentry to detect crashes and technical errors. When an error occurs, Sentry may receive:
- Device model, operating system version, and app version
- Crash stack traces and related diagnostic logs
- Technical context needed to reproduce or fix the issue
- Network-related metadata that may include IP address
Sentry is disabled in development builds, and session replay is not enabled. Crash reports do not include your saved birth details or charts. This data is used only to keep the App working, never for advertising.
8. App updates
HumanDesign88 may check for over-the-air updates through Expo Application Services (EAS Updates). When the App checks for updates, Expo may receive basic technical information such as app version, platform, and update channel so the correct update can be delivered. This does not include your birth details or charts.
9. Product analytics
HumanDesign88 uses PostHog to understand how the App as a whole is used — for example, that a chart was created or deleted, that the daily notification was turned on, or that the App was opened. These events are tied to an anonymous device identifier, not to you, and never include your name, birth date, birth place, or anything from your chart. PostHog is not an advertising SDK and is not used to track you across other apps or websites.
10. What we do not collect
HumanDesign88 is designed to avoid unnecessary data collection. In normal use, we do not:
- Require you to create an account
- Store your birth details on our servers
- Sell your personal information
- Use your data for advertising
- Track your precise location
- Operate a social network or public profile for your charts
11. How we use information
We use the limited information described above to:
- Provide core App functionality on your device
- Find the birth place and timezone you are searching for
- Deliver app updates
- Diagnose crashes and improve stability
- Understand overall, anonymous feature usage so we can improve the App
12. How we share information
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share limited technical data with the service providers that help us operate the App — Sentry for crash reporting, Expo for update delivery, and PostHog for anonymous product analytics — which process data on our behalf under their own privacy terms. The birth-place search sends data directly from your device to that third-party service, and anything you share through the share sheet goes to the app you choose, not through us.
We may also disclose information if required by law, legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of users or others.
13. Data retention
Saved designs remain on your device until you delete them or uninstall the App. Crash reports retained by Sentry are kept only as long as needed for debugging and service operation, according to Sentry's retention practices.
14. Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain processing of your personal information. Because HumanDesign88 data is stored locally, you can usually exercise these rights directly in the App or on your device by:
- Editing or deleting individual saved designs
- Using "Clear all saved designs" in Settings
- Declining to use the optional AI prompt sharing
- Uninstalling the App
15. Children's privacy
HumanDesign88 is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
16. Not professional advice
HumanDesign88 presents Human Design charts and interpretive descriptions for personal interest and reflection. Nothing in the App is medical, psychological, legal, or financial advice, and it should not be relied on as a substitute for a qualified professional.
17. International users
HumanDesign88 is operated through service providers that may process limited technical data in the United States or other countries. By using the App, you understand that this information may be transferred to and processed in countries with different data protection laws than your own.
18. Security
We take reasonable measures to protect information processed by our service providers. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. You are responsible for access to your device, where your saved designs are stored.
19. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date at the top of this page. Material changes may also be communicated in the App or on our website where appropriate.
