Kairos

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 6 October 2026 · Commercium Limited

This Privacy Notice explains how Commercium Limited (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, shares and protects information when you use the iPhone app Kairos (the “App”) and this website, kai-ros.life. We are the data controller of the information described here. If you do not agree with this notice, please do not use the App. Questions: support@thecommercium.com.

1. What information do we collect?

Stored only on your device

The place you chose (its name, coordinates and time zone), your chart settings (house system, true or mean node, the time step) and your language choice are stored on your iPhone. The Home Screen widget reads pictures of the current chart that the App prepares for the next 24 hours in storage it shares with the widget on your device. We do not receive any of this. Deleting the App deletes it.

Location

Only when you tap “Use my location” does iOS ask whether the App may use your location. If you allow it, the App asks for a low-accuracy position once, while it is open, and labels it with the nearest city from a list built into the App. The position is used on your device to compute the chart and is saved as your chosen place. The App never uses your location in the background, never tracks your movements, and never sends your location to us or to any service provider. You can change your choice at any time in iOS Settings › Kairos › Location.

Photos, images and PDFs

If you save a chart to Photos, iOS asks for permission to add pictures; the App cannot read your library. Shared images and PDFs are created on your iPhone and go only where you send them with the iOS share sheet.

Purchases (Kairos Pro)

Kairos Pro is sold through the App Store. Apple processes the payment under its own terms and privacy policy; we never receive your name, Apple ID or payment details. To know whether Pro is active on your devices, the App uses RevenueCat, Inc., which receives a random app user ID created by RevenueCat, your App Store purchase receipts and transactions (product, price, currency, dates, renewal and refund status), the App version, iOS version, device model, storefront country, and the IP address of the connection.

Anonymous usage statistics

To improve the App, it may send usage events to our analytics provider Amplitude, Inc., unless you turn statistics off. The events are: the App was opened (and whether it was the first launch); “Now” was tapped; a time was set; the chart jumped to another moment (and from where: the moon strip, a button or a sheet); a place was set (and how: search, list or location, never the place itself); a setting was changed (house system, node); a planet was tapped; a tab was shown; the share page was opened and what was exported (photo, image or PDF); the paywall was shown, and a purchase was started, completed, cancelled, failed (with the store’s error code) or restored, with the plan.

Each event also contains a random installation ID, a session number, the time of the event, the App version, the iOS version, the platform, your device’s language setting, the App language and the house system. A placeholder IP address is sent in place of yours, so Amplitude does not derive your location from it. Statistics never contain a place, a date or a moment you look at, and never your location. Events wait on your device until they are sent, and are deleted when they are sent or when you turn statistics off.

Support e-mails

If you write to us, we receive your e-mail address and what you tell us, and use them only to answer you.

This website

kai-ros.life sets no cookies and runs no analytics or advertising scripts. Our server keeps standard access logs (IP address, time, page requested, browser) for security, for up to 30 days.

2. How do we use your information?

• To provide the App and Kairos Pro, and to restore purchases on your devices.
• To understand how the App is used and improve it (anonymous statistics).
• To find and fix problems.
• To answer your support requests.
• To comply with legal obligations, such as tax records of sales that Apple reports to us.

We do not use your information for advertising, for profiling that has legal or similarly significant effects, or for automated decision-making.

3. What legal bases do we rely on?

If you are located in the UK or the EEA, the UK GDPR and the GDPR require us to explain our legal bases:

• Consent, given through the iOS location prompt, for using your location on your device. You can withdraw it at any time in iOS Settings.
• Performance of a contract for providing Kairos Pro, restoring purchases and answering your support requests.
• Legitimate interests for anonymous usage statistics and website security logs. We have balanced this against your interests: the data is minimal, linked only to a random ID, never used for advertising, and you can switch statistics off at any time.
• Legal obligations where we must keep or disclose information by law.

If you are located in Canada, we rely on your implied consent to collect anonymous statistics when you use the App. You can withdraw it at any time in Settings › Anonymous usage statistics.

4. When and with whom do we share information?

• Apple, which sells Kairos Pro through the App Store and processes the payment, under Apple’s own privacy policy (apple.com/legal/privacy).
• RevenueCat, Inc. (United States), our purchase-management service provider, processes purchase information on our behalf under a data processing agreement.
• Amplitude, Inc. (United States), our analytics service provider, stores and analyses the usage statistics on our behalf under a data processing agreement and may not use them for its own purposes.
• Business transfers. We may transfer information in connection with a merger, sale of company assets, financing or acquisition of all or part of our business.
• Legal requirements. We may disclose information where required by law or to protect the rights, property or safety of our users, us or others.

We do not sell personal information and do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising.

5. International transfers

RevenueCat and Amplitude process data in the United States. Where information is transferred from the UK or the EEA, it is protected by the safeguards required by UK and EU law, such as standard contractual clauses and the UK International Data Transfer Addendum.

6. Cookies, tracking and Do-Not-Track

The App uses no cookies and no advertising identifier, and does not track you across apps or websites owned by other companies, so Apple’s App Tracking Transparency prompt is not shown. Storage on your device is used only for your place, settings, the widget’s chart pictures and statistics waiting to be sent. There is no agreed standard for Do-Not-Track signals, so we do not respond to them; because we do not track you, there is nothing for such a signal to switch off.

7. How long do we keep your information?

• Place, settings and widget pictures on your device: until you change them or delete the App.
• Statistics waiting on your device: deleted as soon as they are sent, or immediately when you turn statistics off.
• Statistics held by Amplitude: only as long as needed to analyse how the App is used, then deleted or anonymised.
• Purchase records held by RevenueCat: for as long as you have Kairos Pro and afterwards as long as needed for accounting, tax and refund handling.
• Support e-mails: as long as needed to handle your request and any follow-up, unless the law requires us to keep them longer.
• Website access logs: up to 30 days.

8. How do we keep your information safe?

Information is sent over encrypted connections, contains no directly identifying information, and access to it is restricted. We use appropriate technical and organisational measures, but no transmission over the internet or storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

9. Children

The App is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from them. The statistics contain no name, contact details or location. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, for example by e-mail, contact us and we will delete it.

10. What are your privacy rights?

In some regions, such as the UK, the EEA, Switzerland and Canada, you have the right (i) to request access to and a copy of your personal information, (ii) to request rectification or erasure, (iii) to restrict processing, (iv) to data portability where applicable, and (v) not to be subject to automated decision-making. You may also object to processing based on legitimate interests and withdraw consent at any time.

In the App you can exercise the most important rights yourself, at any time:

• Settings › Anonymous usage statistics stops all statistics. Pending events are deleted.
• Settings › Delete my statistics deletes pending events and replaces the installation ID.
• iOS Settings › Kairos › Location withdraws or changes location access.
• iOS Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions manages or cancels Kairos Pro.

Because statistics and purchases are linked only to random IDs that we cannot connect to you, we normally cannot find records that belong to a particular person. If you would like us to act on past records, contact us and we will help as far as we are able.

If you are located in the UK and are unhappy with how we have handled your information, you can complain to us by e-mail at support@thecommercium.com or by post (see section 14). We will acknowledge your complaint within 30 days, investigate without undue delay, keep you informed and explain the outcome. If you are not happy with our final response, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority: ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint, helpline 0303 123 1113, or Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF. If you are located in the EEA, you may complain to your national data protection authority. If you are located in Switzerland, you may contact the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner.
