Last updated: 20 July 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you download, access or use Sunshine: Better Mornings(“Sunshine”, the “App”, “we”, “us” or “our”).
We designed Sunshine so that your personal App content is stored locally on your device. We do not operate a user account system or store your App content in a database controlled by us.
By using Sunshine, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Sunshine does not require you to create an account.
We do not collect or store your affirmations, goals, manifestation entries, mood check-ins, alarm settings, morning preferences or other personal App content on our servers.
Your App content is stored locally on your device and is normally accessible only through that device.
We do not:
sell your personal information;
rent your personal information;
use your personal content for advertising;
track you across apps or websites;
create advertising profiles about you;
upload your entries to our servers; or
allow other Sunshine users to view your content.
Limited information may still be handled by Apple when you download the App, make a purchase, receive notifications, use device backups or choose to share device analytics with Apple and app developers. Those activities are controlled by Apple and your device settings, as explained below.
Depending on the features you choose to use, Sunshine may allow you to enter or save information such as:
your preferred name or display name;
alarm times and alarm preferences;
notification preferences;
morning check-in answers;
mood or feeling selections;
affirmations;
manifestation or goal entries;
motivational preferences;
onboarding answers;
streak information; and
other App settings or entries you create.
This information is processed and stored locally on your device. It is not transmitted to or stored on servers operated by us.
Because we do not receive this content, we cannot view, retrieve, edit, restore or provide you with a copy of it.
Sunshine does not require you to register an account with us.
We do not ask you to provide a password, phone number, residential address or social-media account to use the App.
Your Apple Account is managed by Apple and is not a Sunshine account. We do not receive your Apple Account password or complete Apple Account information.
Sunshine may offer subscriptions, free trials or other in-app purchases through the Apple App Store.
Apple processes your payment and purchase information. We do not receive or store your complete payment-card number, bank-account information or Apple Account password.
The App may receive limited purchase information from Apple, such as whether a purchase was successful, whether a subscription is active, its expiry status or a transaction identifier. This information is used only to provide access to purchased features, verify entitlements, prevent purchase errors and restore eligible purchases.
Apple’s handling of payment and App Store information is governed by Apple’s own terms and privacy practices.
Apple may collect diagnostic, performance, purchase and usage information independently from Sunshine.
When a user has enabled the applicable Apple setting to share analytics with app developers, Apple may provide us with App Store analytics, aggregated usage statistics or crash reports. Apple states that its standard analytics reports use aggregation and privacy safeguards intended to prevent individual identification.
This information may include general details such as:
App version;
device model or operating-system version;
number of App sessions;
general territory or country;
crash type;
installation or deletion totals; and
subscription or sales totals.
We use any information made available by Apple only to understand App performance, diagnose technical issues, improve Sunshine and administer purchases.
We do not attempt to use Apple analytics or crash information to identify individual users.
You can manage Apple’s analytics-sharing options through your device’s Privacy & Security settings.
Sunshine may request permission to send notifications so that alarms, reminders, affirmations or morning prompts can appear on your device.
Where Sunshine uses local notifications, their content and schedule are created and managed on your device. We do not receive a copy of the notification or a record of whether you opened it.
You can disable or change notification permission at any time through your device settings. Disabling notifications may prevent alarm, reminder or motivational features from functioning as intended.
Sunshine will only request device permissions that are reasonably necessary to provide a feature you choose to use.
Depending on the App’s available features, this may include permission to:
send notifications;
play sounds or alarms;
access selected files or audio that you choose to import; or
perform other device functions clearly explained when permission is requested.
Granting permission does not give us general access to the contents of your device.
You can review or withdraw App permissions through your device settings. Some features may stop working after a required permission is withdrawn.
Although Sunshine stores your content locally, your device may include App data in an iCloud backup or a computer backup, depending on your Apple settings.
These backups are controlled by you and Apple, not by Sunshine. We cannot access, inspect, restore or delete information contained in your personal Apple backup.
Apple explains that iCloud Backup may include information stored by apps that is not already synchronised through another Apple service. Users can control which apps are included in iCloud backups through their Apple settings.
If you do not want Sunshine data included in an iCloud backup, you should review the backup settings associated with Sunshine on your device.
You can permanently delete your Sunshine account and associated account data from within the App:
Open Sunshine.
Go to Settings.
Select Account.
Select Delete Account and confirm the deletion.
Deleting your account permanently removes your Sunshine account and the personal data associated with it from our active systems. Some limited information may be retained where reasonably necessary for legal, security, fraud-prevention, or financial record-keeping purposes.
Content stored only on your device can be removed by deleting individual entries within the App, where available, or by deleting the App from your device. Deleting your account may not automatically remove information stored in device backups.
Deleting Sunshine may permanently remove locally stored content from that device. Reinstalling the App may not restore previous entries, settings, streaks, affirmations, or alarms.
Copies may remain temporarily in device, iCloud, or Google backups until those backups are replaced or deleted through your device or account settings. We cannot directly remove backup copies that we do not control or access.
Although Sunshine does not collect personal App content, we may receive personal information when you voluntarily contact us by email or another support channel.
For example, we may receive:
your email address;
your name, if included;
the contents of your message;
screenshots or attachments you choose to send;
information about your device or App version; and
purchase information you voluntarily provide when requesting assistance.
Please do not send us sensitive personal information, private journal entries, passwords, complete payment-card information or information that is not necessary for us to answer your request.
We use support communications only to:
respond to your enquiry;
investigate a technical or purchase issue;
maintain records of complaints or requests;
prevent abuse or fraud;
comply with legal obligations; and
defend or exercise legal rights where reasonably necessary.
Support correspondence may be stored by our email provider rather than within Sunshine itself.
We retain support emails and related information only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to the request, maintain appropriate business records, resolve disputes, prevent fraud or comply with legal obligations.
You may request deletion of information you have voluntarily sent to us by contacting us. We will take reasonable steps to comply unless we need to retain some information for legal, security, accounting, fraud-prevention or dispute-resolution purposes.
This retention section applies only to information actually received by us. We cannot retain or delete App content that never leaves your device.
Sunshine does not sell personal information or use your locally stored content for advertising.
We do not use Sunshine content to track you across apps, services or websites owned by other companies.
We do not permit advertisers to access your affirmations, check-ins, alarms, goals, preferences or other locally stored App content.
If a future version of Sunshine introduces advertising, analytics or another third-party service that processes user information, we will update this Privacy Policy and the App Store privacy disclosures as required before or when that processing begins.
Sunshine relies on certain services provided by Apple, including the operating system, App Store, StoreKit purchasing systems, notification functionality and optional device backup or analytics services.
Apple is an independent organisation and handles information according to its own terms and privacy practices.
Sunshine may also contain links that open an external website, such as our Terms and Conditions or support page. Information handled by an external website is subject to that website’s privacy policy.
We are not responsible for the privacy, security or content practices of third parties, except to the extent responsibility cannot legally be excluded.
Sunshine is not directed to children under 13 years old.
We do not knowingly collect personal information through the App from children under 13. Because App content remains on the device, we do not ordinarily know the age or identity of individual users.
If a parent or guardian believes that a child has sent us personal information through a support email, they may contact us and request its deletion.
Users under 18 should use Sunshine with the permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian where required.
Keeping your information locally stored reduces the amount of personal information transmitted to us. However, no device or storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
The security of locally stored information depends partly on:
the security of your device;
whether your device has a passcode or biometric protection;
who has physical access to your device;
your operating-system security;
your Apple Account and backup settings; and
whether your device has been lost, damaged, compromised or modified.
You are responsible for taking reasonable steps to secure your device and Apple Account.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for local data being viewed, changed or deleted by another person who has access to your device, or for data loss caused by device failure, deletion of the App, operating-system changes or unsuccessful backups.
Nothing in this section excludes any right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Because we do not possess your locally stored App content, we ordinarily cannot disclose that content to another person, government authority or law-enforcement agency.
We may preserve or disclose support communications and other information actually held by us where we reasonably believe that doing so is required by law, a valid court order or another binding legal process.
We may also use or disclose information actually held by us where reasonably necessary to investigate fraud, address security threats, protect legal rights or protect someone from an immediate risk of serious harm, subject to applicable law.
Your locally stored Sunshine content is not transferred internationally by us.
If you voluntarily email us, your email and our response may be processed or stored in countries where our email or technology providers operate. Those countries may have privacy laws that differ from those in Australia.
We take reasonable steps appropriate to the limited nature of the information we receive.
For content stored locally within Sunshine, you can access, update or delete it through the App or your device. We cannot access or provide this content because we do not possess it.
For information you voluntarily send to us, you may contact us to request:
access to the personal information we hold about you;
correction of inaccurate information;
deletion of information where applicable; or
information about how your enquiry was handled.
We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.
Where Australian privacy legislation applies, covered organisations must maintain a clearly expressed and current privacy policy and handle personal information openly and transparently.
Privacy questions or complaints should first be sent to us using the contact information below.
Please include enough information for us to understand the issue, but do not send unnecessary sensitive information.
We will acknowledge and investigate a legitimate privacy complaint within a reasonable period. Where possible, we will explain the outcome and any steps taken to address the issue.
Nothing in this section prevents you from contacting a relevant regulator or exercising a legal right available to you.
We may update this Privacy Policy when Sunshine’s features, technology, legal obligations or information-handling practices change.
The updated policy will be posted through the App, our website or the App Store listing, and the “Last updated” date will be changed.
Where a change materially affects how personal information is collected or used, we will provide reasonable notice where required and obtain consent where legally necessary.
We will not begin collecting previously local-only personal content without updating this Privacy Policy and providing any notice or consent required by law.
