Data Practices Charter — Version History

This page contains an archive of every version of the NeuEra Apps Data Practices Charter. Because the Charter is a public commitment about what we will and will not collect, any change to it — including a change that weakens it — is recorded here permanently and remains comparable against every prior version. The current version is always available at the main Charter page.

Current Version

Effective Date: August 17, 2026

Status: Active

Summary: One wording correction, no change of substance. The clarification on why Tier A measurements cannot be produced or deleted on request described them as "totals to which many people contributed" — which is not true of a total that happens to stand at one. The claim it supports is unchanged and does not depend on the total being large: a count of one still records nothing about who was counted or when. Corrected so the Charter stays accurate at every scale rather than only at scale. No tier definition, operating rule or per-app position changed.

Key Points:
  • Tier A "cannot be produced or deleted on request" clarification reworded to hold true of a total of one
  • No change to the Tier A / Tier B definitions or to the test applied before collection
  • No change to the five operating rules or to any per-app position
  • No change to the advertising disclosures for NetCloak VPN or kalum.app

Version 2026-08-16

Archived

Effective Date: August 16, 2026

Status: Superseded by 2026-08-17

Summary: Initial Data Practices Charter. Establishes a studio-wide, published test for what may be collected, replacing the common "no personally identifiable information" standard with a two-tier rule: Tier A measurements carry no identifier, no timestamp and no per-event row and are the default; Tier B measurements require a stated purpose, a lawful basis, a Privacy Policy disclosure and an app store declaration before the first row is written. Adds five operating rules, a per-app summary of what is collected today, and an explicit disclosure that the advertising network in NetCloak VPN — and the Google Ads conversion tag on one page of the Kalum marketing site — operate under Google's practices rather than this Charter.

Key Points:
  • "No PII" rejected as the collection test — personal data is broader, and the PII standard permits per-device behavioural records
  • Tier A defined: totals only, no identifier, no timestamp, no per-event row — the default for product questions
  • Tier B defined: anything retaining identity, time or events — requires lawful basis, policy disclosure and store declaration in advance
  • Rule 1 — purpose written down before collection; no speculative data gathering
  • Rule 3 — we count what we could not serve, not only what succeeded
  • Rule 4 — each measurement's known distortion stays attached to the number
  • Rule 5 — no shared identifier across NeuEra apps; data is never joined between products
  • Per-app position recorded for NetCloak VPN, Play Lounge, Odo and Kalum
  • Kalum rate-demand measurement documented as Tier A; call and transaction records remain Tier B and disclosed
  • NetCloak's Google AdMob advertising disclosed as outside this Charter; Play Lounge, Odo and Kalum confirmed free of any advertising SDK
  • Google Ads conversion tag on kalum.app/call-mexico/ disclosed as outside this Charter — one page of one marketing site, not the apps
  • States plainly that Tier A data cannot be produced or deleted on request, because it identifies no one
  • Each app's Privacy Policy remains the operative legal disclosure and governs on conflict
