Caru is built on a simple principle: your child's health records belong to you, not us. Here's exactly what that means in practice.
Caru stores all data locally on your device. We have no servers. We never see your child's information. Nothing is transmitted to us. Ever.
The longer version below explains exactly how data flows — and doesn't flow — when you use Caru.
When you use Caru, the following information is saved on your device:
All of this data lives on your device only.
It doesn't go anywhere. Caru has no cloud backend, no company servers, and no data pipeline. There is no account to create, no login, and no way for us to access your records even if we wanted to.
Your data is backed up through your personal cloud storage account — iCloud on iOS, or Google Drive on Android — which you control. LEME (the company behind Caru) never has access to your backup files.
Caru does not include:
We do not know how many people use Caru, how often they open it, or what features they use. We have deliberately chosen not to know.
If you enable medicine timer notifications, these are scheduled locally on your device using iOS or Android's built-in notification system. Notification data is not transmitted to any server. Caru does not use push notification services that require a server connection.
Caru is designed for parents and carers to maintain health records for children. Because all data is stored locally and never transmitted to us, Caru does not collect any personal information from children and is not subject to COPPA or similar regulations in the way that online services are. The data you enter stays on your device under your control.
Because we hold no data about you, the usual data rights (access, correction, deletion, portability) are exercised entirely within the app:
There is no request process, no waiting period, and no form to fill in. You are in complete control.
Leme Studio is an Australian company. The Caru app does not collect, hold, use, or disclose personal information as defined under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). As such, standard Australian Privacy Principles obligations regarding access, correction, and disclosure do not apply — because there is no data held by us to apply them to.
If you have a privacy concern or question, please contact us at the address below.
If we make material changes to this policy, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, provide notice within the app. Continued use of Caru after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
Questions about this policy? We'd love to hear from you.
