Privacy Policy
Effective date: August 11, 2026 · Last updated: August 11, 2026
1. Who we are
Yanso ("Ya Nso'") is a free, open-source Flutter application developed and maintained by the Yanso contributors. The project is hosted at github.com/vector-gru/yanso.
The app is distributed through the Google Play Store. Questions or concerns about this policy can be raised by opening an issue on the GitHub repository.
2. Information we do not collect
Yanso is a fully offline calendar application. We do not collect, process, or transmit any of the following:
- Personal identifiers (name, email address, phone number, device ID)
- Location data
- Usage analytics or crash reports
- In-app behaviour or interaction logs
- Device information or advertising identifiers
- Contacts, photos, or any other device content
- Financial or payment information
There are no user accounts, no sign-in, and no server-side infrastructure associated with the Yanso app.
3. How the app works
Yanso reads the current date from your device's system clock in order to display today's Nso date. This calculation is performed entirely on-device using a deterministic algorithm. No date, location, or any other information leaves your device.
All calendar data — the eight Nso weekdays, the twelve Lamnso months, and the conversion algorithm — is bundled with the app at install time. No network request is ever made.
4. Permissions requested
Yanso requests no special Android permissions beyond the minimum required to run a Flutter application. Specifically, the app does not request access to your:
- Camera or microphone
- Contacts or calendar
- Location (coarse or precise)
- Storage or files
- Network or internet
5. Third-party services
Yanso does not integrate any third-party SDKs, advertising networks, analytics platforms, or social login providers.
The app is distributed through the Google Play Store. Google's own privacy practices apply to the download and installation process, independent of this policy. Please review Google's Privacy Policy for details.
6. Children's privacy
Yanso does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under the age of 13. Because no data is collected at all, the app is safe for users of any age.
7. Open-source transparency
The complete source code of Yanso, including the calendar engine and the Flutter application, is publicly available at github.com/vector-gru/yanso under the MIT licence.
Anyone can inspect the code to independently verify that no data collection, network communication, or tracking is present.
8. Changes to this policy
If the app ever introduces features that change its data practices (such as optional cloud sync or community contributions), this privacy policy will be updated before those features are released, and the effective date at the top of this page will be revised accordingly.
Changes are tracked in the project CHANGELOG.
