Barkai Privacy Policy
Barkai is the Jewish gratitude app from the house of My Jewish Day. It is written in plain language because your spiritual and family information deserves special care. Most of your data lives only on your phone.
1What lives only on your phone
Your name, your meá brachot counter, and your chain are stored locally on your device. We do not upload them to any server.
2Approximate location
To compute the zmanim (halachic hours) of your place and for the sky alerts (weather), we use an approximate location —an area of roughly 11 km, never your exact position—. This location is never shared with third parties and never sold.
3Photo recognition happens on your phone
If you choose to take a photo to find out whether there's a berachah, the recognition happens inside your own device using the system's technology (Apple Vision). The image never leaves your phone and is never uploaded to any server.
4Sky alerts
If you turn on the sky alerts (storm, rainbow conditions, the moon), in order to deliver them we store on our server an anonymous device token, your name (to greet you), and your city cluster (approximate location). You can unsubscribe at any time and that data is deleted.
5Subscriptions
The Apple App Store and Google Play process billing for Premium. We do not see or store your payment card details.
6How to delete your data
Inside the app, under Settings → Delete my data, you clear all local information on your phone and deregister your device from our server (removing the token, your name, and the city cluster used for sky alerts).
7No advertising, no data sale
Barkai contains no advertising, uses no advertising tracking networks, and does not sell or share your data for commercial purposes.
8Minimum age
Barkai is intended for users 13 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
