MikaRippleMikaRipple Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 7, 2026
MikaRipple (the "App") is an iOS app for recording your pet's respiratory rate. The App is designed with your privacy as the top priority.
1. The developer collects no data
The App does not transmit or collect any data about you or your usage to the developer's servers. There are no accounts, no analytics, no ads, and no tracking.
2. All data stays on your device
Pet profiles (name, photo, birthday, etc.), measurement records, and raw measurement data (CSV) are stored only on your iPhone. Nothing is stored on external servers.
3. Camera
The camera is used only to measure your sleeping pet's respiratory rate. The image is analyzed in real time on your device; it is never saved as video and never transmitted. The only thing saved during a measurement is a numeric time series of the motion inside the measurement frame (CSV) — it contains no video or images.
4. Data leaves your device only when you share it
Data leaves your device only in the following cases, each requiring your explicit action:
- When you share a vet summary (such as the PDF report) via the share sheet (AirDrop, email, etc.)
- When you export raw measurement data (CSV) via the share sheet (the CSV contains numeric motion data plus the device model, OS version, app version, and any observed count you entered when saving — no video, images, location, or personally identifying information)
The App's storage folder is also visible in the iOS Files app, so you can inspect and delete your data at any time.
5. Third parties
Since the developer holds none of your data, nothing is ever provided or sold to third parties. No third-party SDKs are used.
6. Disclaimer
The App is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, or prevent any disease. Always consult a veterinarian for decisions about your pet's health.
7. Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, this page will be updated. Significant changes will also be announced in the App.
