The essentials
You do not need to create a Kara account. The inventory you enter in the app is not sent to a server operated by Kara.
The app, the backup provided by your operating system, market prices, and this website are separate data flows. Each is explained below.
- In the app
- Your items, values, storage locations, and calculations remain managed on your device.
- In your private cloud
- Backup uses the space tied to your iCloud account on iOS or the Google Drive AppData space on Android.
- On kara.app
- Cookie-free analytics count page views and store clicks along with the technical metadata described below.
Data in the app
Kara processes the information needed to make your physical wealth understandable and calculate how it changes.
This data is kept on the device. Kara does not operate a web account or inventory server to which it is sent.
- Details about the bars, coins, jewellery, and other items you record.
- The quantities, weights, purchase prices, and dates you enter.
- The storage locations and notes you choose to add.
- Valuations, estimated gains, and sale scenarios calculated from this information.
iCloud and Google Drive backup
On iOS, backup relies on the private space associated with the iCloud account configured on the device. On Android, it relies on the application data AppData space of the Google Drive account configured on the device.
Apple or Google manages these spaces as part of your account and under its own terms. Kara does not receive a copy of your inventory on its infrastructure.
Backup availability depends on factors such as being signed in to the correct account, system settings, network access, and available storage.
Reference market prices
The app may retrieve reference prices for precious metals. That request does not include your inventory, purchase prices, storage locations, or simulations.
As with any connection to an online service, the price provider and network intermediaries may receive the technical information needed for that communication. You can manually adjust the values Kara uses.
Reports and PDFs
Interactive reports and PDFs are generated locally on your device from your data. Kara does not receive their contents.
If you export or share a PDF, you choose its destination. The file then leaves the app as a result of the action you requested and under the destination service’s rules.
Minimal website measurement
This website uses cookie-free Umami analytics to measure page views and two custom clicks: outbound visits to the App Store or Google Play. It uses no session replay, heatmaps, or marketing forms. The tracker respects the browser’s Do Not Track signal and excludes search parameters from measured URLs.
To produce aggregate statistics, Umami also processes standard technical metadata, including the page URL, referrer, browser, operating system, device type, language, and an approximate country. The website cannot access the inventory held in the app, and store events contain no wealth or inventory data.
- Page views
- Aggregate measurement helps us understand which pages are visited.
- Store clicks
- Two events distinguish outbound visits to the App Store and Google Play.
External links and services
When you follow a link to the App Store or Google Play, you leave this website. Apple or Google then processes your visit under its own privacy policy.
Likewise, the contact link opens your email software. What you send is handled by your email provider and by the support service in order to answer your request.
Your choices
- You decide what information to record in Kara.
- You can manually adjust the reference values used in your calculations.
- You choose when to create, export, or share a report.
- You manage your cloud account and backup settings from your device.
