Sol Mala — Buddhist Mala Prayer Bead App
Last updated: 7 August 2026
ADappvark ("we", "us", "our") operates the Sol Mala mobile application (the "App"). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our App. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.
Sol Mala does not collect personal information, create accounts, or build a profile of you. It stores your practice data locally on your device. The only data that ever leaves your device is (1) anonymous, aggregate usage counts and (2) the Solana blockchain transactions you explicitly choose to make. Both are described below.
We want to be clear about what we do not do:
Sol Mala stores your preferences and practice data on your device. This data:
Android Auto Backup. The App participates in Android's built-in Auto Backup, so your practice data, preferences and cached supporter tier may be copied to the backup service associated with your Google account (or transferred directly when you set up a new device). This is what lets your supporter unlock and your practice history survive a reinstall or a device change. That backup is held by Google under your own account and Google's privacy policy, not by us — we never receive it and have no access to it. Because of this, uninstalling the App removes the data from the device but does not necessarily remove an existing cloud backup copy; see section 9. The encrypted store holding your wallet address is excluded from backup and device transfer entirely. You can turn backup off at any time in your device's Settings (Google → Backup).
Sol Mala sends anonymous, aggregate usage events (for example, "app opened" or "round completed") to our own analytics endpoint so we can understand overall usage and which regions the App reaches. These events contain no personal data: no name, no account, no device identifier, no wallet address, and no advertising ID.
Sol Mala uses Sign In With Solana (SIWS) for optional wallet-based sign-in, used for identity and Seeker Genesis Token (SGT) verification. When you connect a Solana wallet:
Sol Mala also offers optional one-time "supporter" purchases (see the Terms of Service). If you choose to make one:
Sol Mala does not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone, including children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction).
The App requests internet permission for Solana wallet interactions (SIWS, and optional purchases/restore) and to send the anonymous analytics events described above. The App does not request or use any device location permission. Regional compliance checks rely only on your SIM/network country code, device language and region settings, and timezone, all evaluated on-device.
Because Sol Mala does not collect personal data on any server, there is no central store of personal information to breach. Local data is protected by the Android operating system's application sandboxing. Your wallet address is held in encrypted storage, while your supporter status is cached locally on your device.
Since we do not hold personal data about you, there is no personal data for us to access, correct, delete, or port. If you wish to remove all locally stored App data, you may:
Note that on-chain transactions you have made cannot be deleted, as they are recorded permanently on the public Solana ledger.
Sol Mala is not available in sanctioned or restricted regions. Please refer to our Sanctions & Restricted Regions policy for details.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected by an updated "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia.

This section applies if you are in the European Union or the European Economic Area, and explains how Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) applies to Sol Mala.
MidMightBit Games, a sole trader established in Australia, is the data controller. Contact: aardappvark@proton.me. We have not appointed a Data Protection Officer; we are not required to.
We have not designated a representative in the Union. We rely on the exemption in Article 27(2)(a): our processing of EU personal data is occasional, does not include large-scale processing of special categories of data under Article 9 or data relating to criminal convictions under Article 10, and is unlikely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons. You can contact us directly at aardappvark@proton.me about any GDPR matter, and we answer in English.
You can stop this processing at any time from the App's Settings screen, where the privacy section carries the control. Turning it off stops all event sending immediately.
Sol Mala stores settings on your device using Android's app-private storage. That storage is strictly necessary to provide the service you asked for, so it does not require separate consent. The App sets no cookies, uses no advertising identifier, no device fingerprinting and no third-party analytics SDK, and does not read information stored on your device for any purpose other than running the App.
We are established in Australia, so where we receive anything it is processed in Australia. Australia is not the subject of an adequacy decision under Article 45. Our analytics endpoint is operated for us in the United States by our hosting provider. The transferred payload is a single event name and contains no identifier and no personal data, so in our assessment Chapter V is not engaged by it; to the extent it is, we rely on Article 46(2)(c) standard contractual clauses with our provider, or the EU–US Data Privacy Framework where that provider is certified. Public Solana RPC providers you interact with may be located outside the EEA and receive your IP address and wallet public address as an unavoidable part of any internet request.
Data on your device is kept until you delete it, clear the App's data, or uninstall the App. Aggregate daily counters hold no personal data and are kept indefinitely as statistics. We operate no user accounts and hold no profile of you.
You have the rights of access (Article 15), rectification (16), erasure (17), restriction (18), data portability (20) and objection (21), and the right to withdraw consent at any time where consent is the basis. Because your data lives on your device and we hold no identifier for you, you exercise most of these directly: the data is visible in the App, and clearing the App's data or uninstalling it erases it. For anything else, email aardappvark@proton.me — we respond within one month, free of charge.
There is no automated decision-making producing legal or similarly significant effects, and no profiling within the meaning of Article 22.
You have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority of your Member State of residence, place of work, or of the alleged infringement (Article 77). A list is published by the European Data Protection Board at edpb.europa.eu. We would appreciate the chance to resolve it first.
