Last Updated: August 10, 2026
Effective Date: August 10, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how BoxedDev Studio ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you use the Aura Sphere mobile application (the "App"). By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the App, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, you must not use the App.
We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Your continued use of the App following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of such changes.
When you create an account or use certain features of the App, you may voluntarily provide us with the following information:
Account Information: Email address and password (when registering via email authentication).
Profile Information: First name, last name, age, bio, gender, and profile picture (avatar).
User Preferences: Notification settings, sound feedback preferences, reminder schedules (time and days), and theme preferences.
When you use the App, we automatically collect certain information, including but not limited to:
Device Information: Device model, operating system version, unique device identifiers, and mobile network information.
Usage Data and Analytics: We use Firebase Analytics to collect information about how you interact with the App, including screens viewed, features used, session duration, playback events (tracks played, playlists created, sleep timers set), download activity, and general engagement metrics.
Authentication Data: Firebase Authentication generates a unique user identifier (UID) when you use the App, including when you use the App anonymously. This UID is used solely to associate your data with your account.
Crash and Performance Data: We may collect diagnostic data, crash logs, and performance metrics to maintain and improve the App.
Google AdMob: The App uses Google AdMob to serve rewarded advertisements. AdMob may collect certain information in accordance with Google's privacy policy, including device identifiers, IP address, and ad interaction data. We request only non-personalized ads by default. For more information on how Google collects and uses data, please visit: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
Firebase Services: The App uses Firebase Authentication, Firebase Firestore (cloud database), and Firebase Analytics. Data processed through Firebase is governed by Google's privacy policies and data processing terms.
We do not collect precise geolocation data.
We do not collect financial or payment information directly. Any in-app transactions are processed entirely through the platform's app store (Google Play Store or Apple App Store) and are subject to their respective privacy policies.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
To Provide and Maintain the App: Including user authentication, content delivery, audio playback, playlist management, offline audio downloads, and syncing preferences across your devices.
To Personalize Your Experience: Customizing the App interface based on your theme, notification, and reminder preferences.
To Track Usage Statistics: Recording session data (total minutes, day streaks, session counts, points, and active days) locally and in the cloud to provide you with personal progress tracking within the App.
To Display Advertisements: Serving rewarded ads through Google AdMob to unlock premium audio content. We request non-personalized ads only.
To Improve the App: Analyzing aggregated and anonymized usage data to identify trends, fix bugs, improve performance, and develop new features.
To Send Notifications: Delivering local push notifications for reminders and playback controls, subject to your device permissions and in-app notification settings.
To Communicate with You: Responding to your feedback, support requests, or inquiries sent to our support email.
To Enforce Our Terms: Protecting the security, integrity, and availability of the App and our rights and property.
Local Storage: Certain user preferences, profile information, playlists, and usage statistics are stored locally on your device using AsyncStorage. Downloaded audio files are stored locally in the device's file system.
Cloud Storage: Account data, user profiles, audio catalog metadata, owned track records, favorites, listening history, playlists, preferences, and session statistics are stored in Google Firebase Firestore. Audio files and artwork assets are stored in cloud storage infrastructure (such as Cloudflare R2 or similar S3-compatible storage).
We implement commercially reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include, but are not limited to, encryption of data in transit (TLS/SSL), Firebase Authentication security rules, and Firestore security rules restricting data access to authenticated users.
However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially reasonable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. You acknowledge and accept this inherent risk by using the App.
We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:
Third-Party Service Providers: We use third-party services (Google Firebase, Google AdMob, Cloudflare) to operate and improve the App. These providers process data on our behalf and are contractually obligated to use your information only as necessary to provide their services to us.
Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.
Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via the App or email of any change in ownership or use of your personal information.
With Your Consent: We may share your information in other ways if you direct us to do so or provide your explicit consent.
Aggregated or De-Identified Data: We may share aggregated or de-identified information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you, without restriction.
You may update your profile information (name, bio, gender, avatar) at any time through the App's Settings screen.
You may enable or disable push notifications at any time through the App's Settings screen or through your device's system settings. Disabling notifications will cancel all scheduled reminders and dismiss active playback notifications.
You may request deletion of your account and associated data by contacting us at support@boxeddev.com. Upon receiving a verified deletion request, we will delete or anonymize your personal data from our systems within thirty (30) days, except where retention is required by law or for legitimate business purposes (e.g., fraud prevention, dispute resolution, or enforcing our terms).
Locally stored data (preferences, downloaded audio files) can be deleted at any time by clearing the App's data through your device settings or by uninstalling the App.
Firebase Analytics data collection is integral to the operation and improvement of the App. If you wish to limit the data collected, you may uninstall the App.
The App requests non-personalized ads by default. You may also manage your ad preferences through your device's advertising settings (e.g., resetting your advertising ID or opting out of ad personalization).
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have additional rights under applicable data protection laws, such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). These may include the right to:
Access the personal data we hold about you.
Request correction of inaccurate personal data.
Request deletion of your personal data.
Object to or restrict certain processing of your personal data.
Data portability (receiving your data in a structured, machine-readable format).
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at support@boxeddev.com. We will respond to your request within the timeframes required by applicable law.
The App is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information promptly. If you believe we may have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us at support@boxeddev.com.
We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with the App's services. We may also retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
Anonymous usage data and aggregated analytics data may be retained indefinitely for product improvement purposes.
The App may contain links to third-party websites, services, or applications (e.g., app store listings, feedback email). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of such third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you access through or in connection with the App.
Your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in countries other than your country of residence, including the United States and other countries where Google (Firebase, AdMob) and our cloud storage providers maintain servers. By using the App, you consent to the transfer of your information to these countries, which may have different data protection laws than your jurisdiction. We will take reasonable steps to ensure your information is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
