Cempasuchil is built to run entirely on your device. This page explains, plainly, what that means and exactly what the app does and does not do with your information.
Cempasuchil asks you to describe your own family's ofrenda: the names, years and stories of your loved ones, their favourite food, drink and song, photos you choose for them, which altar items you have placed, the nights your family observes, your shopping list, and any ofrenda images you choose to save to an archive. All of this is written only to local storage on your device — small preferences are kept in the operating system's standard app-preferences store, and everything else (your loved ones' cards, the altar's state, your archive) is kept in ordinary files inside the app's own private folder. None of it is copied to a server we operate, because we don't operate one.
If you choose to attach a photo to a loved one's card, Cempasuchil asks for permission to use the camera or your photo library at that moment, and only for that purpose. The resulting photo is stored locally in the same way as the rest of your data. Saving a finished ofrenda image back to your photo library uses the add-only photo permission, again only when you ask for it by choosing "Save Image."
If you turn on a reminder (for buying flowers, buying bread, setting up the altar, lighting the candles, or levantar la ofrenda), Cempasuchil asks for notification permission at that moment and schedules the reminder locally on your device using Apple's standard notification system. These are not push notifications and nothing is sent to or from a server to deliver them.
Cempasuchil includes no third-party analytics, advertising or tracking software of any kind, and shares your information with no one, because it has no means of sharing it — there is no network connection to share it over.
Cempasuchil does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children, because it does not collect personal information at all — everything stays on the device in your possession.
You can edit or delete any loved one, photo, reminder or archived ofrenda directly inside the app at any time. Deleting the app removes all of its locally stored data from your device.
If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at this same address with a new "last updated" date.
