Privacy policy
Charmly hangs lucky charms on your screen. It is made to need as little of your information as possible. This page explains what the Charmly apps for Windows and Android do with your data.
Charmly for Windows
- Charmly for Windows does not collect, send or share any personal information. It has no accounts, no analytics and no ads.
- Your settings (which charms hang, the cord, sizes, sounds) are saved only in a file on your computer.
- If you add a photo of your own as a charm, a copy is kept only on your computer. It is never uploaded. Deleting the charm deletes the copy.
Charmly for Android
Kept on your phone
- Your charms, settings, streaks and child mode setting are stored only on your phone.
- If you make a charm from a photo, the background is cut out on your phone using Google ML Kit. The photo is not sent to us.
Permissions
- Display over other apps: to hang the charm over your home screen and other apps. Charmly does not read what is on your screen.
- Notifications and running in the background: to keep the charm hanging while you use other apps, and to put it back after your phone restarts.
- Do Not Disturb access: asked for only if you choose the Do Not Disturb shortcut, so a pull on the charm can turn it on or off.
- Vibration: for the gentle ticks in the prayer beads and breathing exercises.
Ads
The free version of the Android app shows ads from Google AdMob. To show ads, Google may collect information such as your device's advertising ID, your IP address and how you interact with ads. Where the law requires it, such as in the EEA and the UK, the app asks for your consent first, and you can change your choice later. Google's use of this information is described in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
No ads are shown, and the ads service is not started at all, when child mode is on or when you have bought ad-free.
Purchases
Purchases are handled by Google Play. We never see your card or payment details; Google Play only tells the app what you have bought.
Children
Charmly has a child mode for younger users. In child mode there are no ads and no purchases, and nothing about the child is collected by us.
This website
This website has no cookies, no analytics and no sign-up. Like any website, the hosting provider (Cloudflare) may keep short-lived technical logs, such as IP addresses, to deliver the pages and protect against abuse.
Changes and contact
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date. Questions about privacy? A contact address will be added here soon.
