Effective date: 23 July 2026
This summarises our privacy practices. For more information, see our full Privacy Policy below.
Clima doesn’t have user accounts and doesn’t collect personal data from anyone, student or adult.
We don’t run advertising or third-party tracking SDKs. The only data that ever reaches us is anonymised website analytics and, occasionally, anonymised crash diagnostics passed along by Apple.
Because nothing personal is collected in the first place, there’s nothing on our end for you to request, correct, or delete.
Read our full Privacy Policy below.

1. Overview
Welcome to Clima’s Privacy Policy. Clima is an educational app, built to help people learn — and we wanted it to be somewhere students, parents, and teachers could use freely without a second thought about their data. This Policy explains what we collect, why, and what rights you have, while also covering the legal ground required under regulations like the GDPR (EU/UK), CCPA/CPRA (California), and PIPA (Korea). By using Clima or visiting myungjoon.com/clima, you’re agreeing to what’s laid out here. If anything in this Policy doesn’t sit right with you, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
2. Important Definitions
A couple of terms come up often in this Policy, so let’s define them upfront:
Personal Data (sometimes called “PII”) is any information that could be used to identify you specifically. Data that’s been fully anonymised and can’t be traced back to you doesn’t count as such.
Service Providers are the outside tools we rely on to run Clima and its website:
Framer, which builds and hosts the website;
Framer Analytics, which gives us anonymised, aggregated insight into who’s visiting the site; and
App Store, which is how you download the app.
3. Who’s Responsible for Your Data
Clima is built and run by Myung Joon Kang, an independent student developer. We’re the one responsible for Clima and any data described in this Policy. There’s no company or team behind this, just us.
4. What We Collect
Using the app.
Clima is built purely for learning, and it doesn’t ask for an account or collect any personal data. Apple, as the App Store platform, may occasionally pass along anonymised crash or diagnostic info that’s already been stripped of anything identifying — we only use it to catch and fix bugs.
Visiting the website.
The site doesn’t collect anything that identifies you personally. We do use Framer Analytics to see anonymised, aggregated stats — referrer, pages visited, general country, OS, browser, and device type — but none of it can be traced back to you as an individual.
If you reach out to us.
If you email us directly, we’ll see whatever you choose to share (your name, email, and message) — and we’ll only use it to reply to you.
In practice, here’s how you stay in control:
There’s no account, profile, or personal data stored in Clima for you to manage — using it doesn’t create anything to delete.
If you’re a parent, guardian, or educator and want to confirm what a learner’s device does or doesn’t send anywhere, we’re happy to walk through it with you directly.
5. Why We’re Allowed to Process This
For readers in the EU or UK: whatever incidental data does pass through rests on our legitimate interest in keeping Clima running smoothly and responding to you (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)). The anonymised diagnostic data mentioned above doesn’t count as personal data under the GDPR, so it doesn’t need a legal basis at all.
6. How We Use It
Whatever limited data does reach us, we use it only to: keep the app and site running well, fix bugs, respond to your messages, and meet any legal obligations we’re subject to. We never use it for advertising or to build a profile of you.
7. The Tools We Rely On
The Service Providers listed in Section 2 help us run Clima and its website — they’re not allowed to use your data for anything beyond that. We don’t sell, rent, or trade your data, and we never have. We’d only ever share information if the law required it, or if it were genuinely necessary to protect someone’s safety or rights.
8. How Long We Keep Things
Anonymised diagnostic data is held by Apple, and if any of it reaches us, we keep it only as long as it takes to fix the underlying issue. Analytics stay with our Service Provider in aggregated form, per their own retention practices. If you’ve emailed us, we’ll hang on to that conversation for as long as feels reasonable to keep good records.
9. Where Your Data Travels
We’re based between Korea and Canada, and the Service Providers we use may process data in the US, the EU, or elsewhere. Where that happens, we lean on the safeguards those providers already have in place — like standard contractual clauses — to keep things properly protected.
10. Keeping Things Secure
We take reasonable steps to protect any data that does pass through our hands.
11. Your Rights
If GDPR or UK GDPR applies to you, you have the right to ask for a copy of your data, correct it, have it deleted, restrict how it’s processed, object to processing based on legitimate interest, request it in a portable format, and complain to your local supervisory authority if you’re unhappy with how we’ve handled things. Since Clima itself doesn’t collect personal data, this mostly comes up if you’ve emailed us directly — just get in touch and we’ll sort it out.
12. If You’re in California
If you’re a California resident, the CCPA/CPRA gives you the right to know what we collect and why, ask us to delete it, correct it if it’s wrong, opt out of any sale or sharing of it (which we don’t do), and not be treated differently for exercising these rights. Just contact us and we’ll take care of it.
13. Children’s Privacy and Classroom Use
Clima is built for learning, and we know that means it’s often used by students — including kids — sometimes with a parent, guardian, or teacher nearby. In the US, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) applies to online services “directed to children” that collect personal information from users under 13. Clima is an educational tool that may be used in classrooms, so we want to be explicit here: Clima does not collect, request, or store any personal information from any user, child or adult, whether directly or through registration, in-app forms, or account creation. Because no personal information is collected, Clima does not trigger COPPA’s parental consent or notice requirements. If that ever changes — for example, if a future version added accounts or profiles — we would update this Policy first and build in age-gating and verifiable parental consent before collecting anything from a child. If we ever discover that personal data has been collected from a child by accident (for instance, through an unintended bug), we’ll delete it right away. If you’re a parent, guardian, or educator with questions about whether Clima is right for a particular learner, we’re always happy to talk it through.
14. Tracking
We don’t track you across other apps or websites for advertising purposes, so we don’t ask for tracking permission through Apple’s App Tracking Transparency framework — there’s simply nothing to track.
15. Cookies and Site Analytics
The website may use cookies through our Service Providers, but only to generate the anonymised analytics mentioned in Section 4 — nothing that builds a personal profile of you. You can turn cookies off in your browser if you’d like, though some site features might not work as smoothly.
16. Korea’s Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA)
We’re based in Korea, so Korea’s Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) applies to how we handle personal information, in addition to the GDPR and CCPA/CPRA protections described above. Under PIPA, you have the right to request access to, correction of, deletion of, and suspension of processing of your personal information, and to be told how any of it is used or shared. In practice, this covers the very limited data described in Section 4 — mainly aggregated site analytics and anything you’ve sent us directly by email, since Clima itself doesn’t collect personal information. We don’t operate a separate Chief Privacy Officer function given the small scale of processing involved, but we are personally accountable for PIPA compliance and will handle any request under this section the same way we handle requests under Section 11. If you’d like to exercise a PIPA-specific right, just say so when you contact us and we’ll treat it accordingly.
17. Changes to This Policy
As Clima grows and changes, this Policy might need updates too. Whenever that happens, we’ll update the Effective Date at the top so you can tell something’s changed.
