Privacy

The Bobara app collects no data, and Lotus Apps keeps none. There is no account to close, and nothing here to delete.

Check-ins live on the device. If you are signed into iCloud, they can sync through Apple’s private CloudKit database, under Apple’s privacy policy. Lotus Apps cannot read that collection, reset it, or restore it from this end. Apple TV only reads that collection, to show the friends you have met, and never writes to it. Signed out of iCloud, it shows a few friends of its own.

Sentry

The one third-party SDK in the app is Sentry, and only for faults. If the app falls over, a crash report can be sent there: what threw, where, on what model of device, running what version. It is not linked to you. It is not used for tracking. There is no identifier, no user id, no IP address, and no screenshot of what was on screen. Nothing is sent from a development build. Lotus Apps does not keep a copy.

On Apple Watch, third-party crash handling is not available. Watch crashes, when they are delivered at all, come through Apple’s own tools. The Apple TV app has no crash reporter at all, so it sends no crash data to anyone.

Sentry’s own policy is at sentry.io/privacy.

Weather

The onsen can follow the sky where you are. Apple WeatherKit may receive a coarse location, when the app is in use, at an accuracy of kilometres — enough for rain, useless for a street. Lotus Apps does not receive that fix, does not store it, and does not put it in a crash report.

On Apple TV, each place Momo shows you asks Apple WeatherKit for its sky using that place’s fixed city coordinates, never the TV’s own location. The one exception is “Home”: the TV asks once, when it is in use, for a coarse location so Home shows the weather where your Apple TV is. That fix stays on the device and goes only to Apple WeatherKit. Lotus Apps never receives it.

Refusing the prompt is a final answer. The rest of the app carries on. The sky is simply clear.

This website

This website counts visits with Plausible Analytics, so we can see how many people visit, which pages they read and where they came from. Along with the page and the site that linked here, it counts your browser, operating system, device type, and the country, region and city your IP address points to. It sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device. It doesn’t keep your IP address, doesn’t use any of this to identify you, and doesn’t follow you to other sites. That’s the website only: the app still collects nothing.

The App Store links on this website carry a campaign name: where the link sits on the page, or a campaign named in the address you arrived at. If you follow one, that name goes to Apple with the link, and Apple shows us how many people came from each campaign, as totals that never say who anyone is. Nothing is stored on your device. On an iPhone or iPad, Safari may also show a banner offering Bobara on the App Store, and fills it in by asking Apple for the app’s details.

Children

Bobara is rated for 4+. It is not in the Kids Category. There is no reason to collect anything from a child, and nothing here is designed to.
