Hita Karana is an educational game developed as part of an academic research and community-based learning initiative.
The application is designed to introduce children to environmental awareness, cleanliness, and local cultural values based on the Tri Hita Karana philosophy through interactive gameplay.
We are committed to protecting user privacy, especially for children, and ensuring transparency in how the application operates.
Hita Karana is developed for:
Educational purposes
Academic research and evaluation
Community-based learning activities
The application may be used in research contexts such as usability testing, learning evaluation, or educational impact assessment.
No personally identifiable data is collected or stored during these activities.
Hita Karana does not collect, store, or share personal user data, including but not limited to:
Names
Email addresses
Phone numbers
Location data
Photos or videos
The application operates offline-first and does not transmit user data to external servers.
Hita Karana uses device camera access solely for the Scan feature, which applies object detection technology (YOLO-based inference) for gameplay and educational interaction.
Important clarifications:
Camera access is used only in real-time
Images or video streams are not recorded, saved, or uploaded
All detection processes run locally on the device
No facial recognition or biometric identification is performed
The camera feature is implemented strictly to support learning interaction and environmental awareness gameplay.
Hita Karana is designed for children under the age of 13.
We strictly comply with children’s privacy protection principles.
At the current stage, the application does not require user accounts or login systems,
and does not include social interaction, messaging, or data-sharing features.
In future versions, an optional login feature may be introduced to allow game progress
to be saved using Google Play Games services.
If implemented, this feature will follow Google Play policies and applicable child
data protection regulations.
Parents, teachers, or guardians may supervise usage as part of educational activities.
Hita Karana does not use third-party services that collect or process personal data, such as:
Advertising SDKs
Social media integrations
Behavioral analytics platforms
Any diagnostic or performance-related data (if enabled during testing) is used only for internal development improvement and does not contain personal identifiers.
The application integrates Tri Hita Karana values, emphasizing:
Harmony between humans and nature
Environmental responsibility
Ethical and respectful behavior
All content is designed to be age-appropriate, culturally respectful, and supportive of positive character development in children.
Since Hita Karana does not collect or store personal data, the risk of data misuse is minimized.
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to ensure the application operates safely on supported devices.
This Privacy Policy may be updated to reflect improvements in the application or compliance requirements.
Any changes will be published on this page.
