Effective Date: October 26, 2023
1. Introduction
Welcome to Mindful Breath Guide ("we," "us," "our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information in connection with our mobile application, Mindful Breath Guide (the "App").
Our App is designed to be a simple tool to help you practice guided breathing exercises. Your privacy and the minimal nature of data handling are core principles of our App.
2. Information We Collect
Mindful Breath Guide is designed to function with minimal data collection. We do not collect Personally Identifiable Information (PII) such as your name, email address, location, or device identifiers.
The only information the App handles is:
User Configuration Settings: The durations you set for Inhale, Hold (Inhale), Exhale, and Hold (Exhale) times for the breathing exercises.
3. How We Use Your Information
The information handled by the App is used solely for the following purposes:
To Operate the App: The configuration settings you provide are used locally within the App to run the breathing exercise timer and visual guide according to your preferences.
To Save Your Preferences: Your configured timing settings are saved locally on your device (e.g., using SharedPreferences or DataStore) so you don't have to re-enter them each time you use the App. This data remains on your device.
4. Data Storage and Security
Local Storage: All configuration settings you input are stored locally on your device only. This data is not transmitted to us or any third party.
Security: While no system is perfectly secure, we rely on the standard security mechanisms provided by the Android operating system to protect the data stored locally on your device. Since we do not collect or transmit sensitive personal data, the risk profile is inherently low.
5. Data Sharing and Third Parties
We do not share any information (including your configuration settings) with any third parties. The App currently does not integrate with third-party services for analytics, advertising, or other purposes that would involve data sharing.
6. Children's Privacy
The App is not intended for use by children under the age of 13 (or the relevant age of consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. If you believe we might have inadvertently collected information from a child, please contact us immediately at the email address below so we can take appropriate action.
7. Your Privacy Rights
Since we do not collect PII and store settings data locally on your device, your primary controls over your data are:
Modifying Settings: You can change your breathing exercise timing configurations within the App at any time.
Clearing App Data: You can use the standard Android settings to clear the App's data and cache, which will remove your saved configurations.
Uninstalling the App: Uninstalling the App will remove it and its locally stored data from your device.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes by posting the new Privacy Policy within the App or on its Google Play Store listing. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any updates. Your continued use of the App after changes signifies your acceptance of the revised policy.
