Kamoji app privacy policy

Last updated: 15 November 2026

The Kamoji app is made by OUS Group Pte. Ltd. ("Originally US", "we"). This page explains what the app does with information on your phone. The short version: the app collects no personal data. There is no account or sign-in, and no advertising or tracking. It sends a crash report when the app crashes, and anonymous statistics about which screens are used (see App analytics). Our websites use Google Analytics; see Website analytics and cookies.

Bluetooth and Wi-Fi​

The app talks to your Kamoji over Bluetooth. When you update your Kamoji's firmware or its animations, your phone joins the Kamoji's own Wi-Fi hotspot for the transfer.

If you give your Kamoji the password of a Wi-Fi network, the app keeps that password in your phone's keychain, on this phone only, so it can fill it in next time. It is never sent to us.

A Kamoji only takes commands from phones it trusts. To recognise your phone, the app derives a key from this app install's identifier; your Kamoji keeps that key, and the app afterwards only answers its challenges with a proof made from it. Neither leaves the phone and the Kamoji.

Location​

The app never asks for your location. To tell whether your Kamoji is on the same Wi-Fi as your phone, it looks for it on your local network (Bonjour / mDNS), which iPhones ask you to allow as "local network" access. On Android, joining your Kamoji's own Wi-Fi during updates uses the "Nearby devices" permission, which does not give the app your location.

Photos​

A photo, GIF or video clip you pick is converted on your phone and sent only to your Kamoji. When you save a picture of your Kamoji's screen, it goes to your photo library and nowhere else.

If you install a Kamoji Mini App that shows turn-by-turn navigation and switch on Show Google Maps navigation on Kamoji, the app asks for Android's notification access. With it, the app reads only Google Maps' navigation notification (the next turn, its arrow, the distance and the arrival time) and sends it over Bluetooth to your Kamoji to show on its screen. It ignores every other notification, keeps nothing, and sends nothing to us or anyone else. You can switch it off in the app, or take notification access away in Android's settings, at any time. iPhones do not offer this.

Recordings​

Trip data your Kamoji records (Black Box), motion sensor recordings and microphone clips from your Kamoji are kept on your phone and your Kamoji. They leave your phone only if you share them yourself, for example with the share sheet.

Crash reports​

When the app crashes or hits an error it cannot handle, it sends a crash report to Firebase Crashlytics, a crash reporting service from Google, so we can find and fix the problem. A report holds what went wrong (the error and where in the app's code it happened), the app's version and build, and facts about the phone such as its model, operating system version, free memory and disk space, and whether it was in the foreground. Crashlytics also gives each app install a random identifier, to count how many installs a crash affects.

A crash report contains nothing about who you are: no name, no account, no location, and nothing from your Kamoji, your recordings or your photos. It is not used for advertising or tracking, and it is not combined with any other data. Google keeps crash reports for 90 days. See how Firebase handles data.

App analytics​

From version 1.0.6, the app uses Firebase Analytics (Google Analytics for apps) to learn which screens people use and in what order, so we can see what is useful and what is hard to find. It records the screens you open, how long the app is used, the app version, facts about the phone (model, operating system version, language) and your approximate location (country and city, worked out from your IP address, which is not stored). Firebase gives each app install a random identifier to count how many installs use a screen.

These statistics contain nothing about who you are or about your Kamoji: no name, no account, no advertising identifier (the app does not collect it, on iPhone or Android), nothing from your recordings or photos, and nothing about where you drive. They are not used for advertising or tracking across other apps or websites. Development builds of the app send none. Google keeps this data for no more than 14 months. See how Firebase handles data.

Our server​

The app downloads firmware, release notes, mini apps and animation files from our servers (dojo.kamoji.bot and nodered.kamoji.bot). Those requests carry the name and version of what is being checked, and nothing about you. Like any web server, they may briefly log the IP address a request came from.

Website analytics and cookies​

Our websites, kamoji.bot (including kamoji.bot/app and kamoji.bot/mini-apps), docs.kamoji.bot and store.kamoji.bot, use Google Analytics, loaded through Google Tag Manager, to understand how people find and use them. Google Analytics sets cookies in your browser and records the pages you view, the page that sent you here, the type of device and browser, your approximate location (country and city, worked out from your IP address, which Google Analytics does not store), and interactions such as scrolling, clicks on links to other sites, site searches, video plays and file downloads. We use this only to improve the sites; we do not use it for advertising.

This website tag is not loaded inside the Kamoji app (including the Mini Apps store page the app shows; the app has its own statistics, see App analytics), on the Kamoji Store's order, payment and order-tracking pages, or in the creator area. Our websites also set two first-party cookies on kamoji.bot (kmj_ft and kmj_lt, kept 30 days) that remember how you first and most recently found us, for example a creator's link or a search engine (the link's campaign tags, or the website you came from). If you buy on the Kamoji Store, that source is saved with your order so we can tell which creators and campaigns bring buyers. It holds no personal data and is not shared.

Google keeps its analytics data for no more than 14 months. To opt out of Google Analytics, block cookies for these sites in your browser or install Google's opt-out browser add-on. See how Google uses data from sites that use its services.

Drop notification emails​

On the Kamoji Store (store.kamoji.bot) you can ask to be emailed when a drop opens. We then keep your email address, when you signed up, and which drop we last told you about, and we email you once when each new drop opens. People who signed up on kamoji.bot before launch to hear when Kamoji launches get the same emails. Every email has an unsubscribe link (and email apps' own unsubscribe button works too); after that we don't email you about drops again. Your address is used for nothing else, is not shared, and is never sent to Google Analytics (which only counts that someone signed up). To have your address deleted, write to support@kamoji.bot.

Children​

The app collects no personal data from anyone, children included; crash reports and app analytics, as described above, are anonymous.

Changes​

If the app ever starts handling data differently, this page will be updated first, with a new date at the top.
