This Privacy Policy explains how personal information is collected, used, stored, processed and disclosed when you download, access or use Sunshine: Better Mornings ("Sunshine", "the App", "we", "us" or "our").
Sunshine is operated by Savith Jayasuriya, based in Victoria, Australia.
Sunshine is a mobile application designed to help users develop positive morning routines through personalised alarms, affirmations and related features.
We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling personal information responsibly.
Sunshine is designed to store personal content, including affirmations, recordings and alarm preferences, locally on your device.
However, we use certain third-party services to analyse App usage, manage subscriptions and measure advertising performance.
This Privacy Policy explains these practices and the rights and choices available to users.
Sunshine does not require users to create an account.
Personal content created within Sunshine is designed to remain stored locally on your device.
This may include:
Personal affirmations.
Voice recordings.
Alarm settings and preferences.
Personal goals.
Mood check-ins.
Morning reflections.
Onboarding answers.
Other personal entries created within the App.
We do not intentionally upload the contents of this personal information to servers operated by us.
However, Sunshine uses third-party services, including Meta, Mixpanel and Superwall, to process certain analytics, advertising attribution and subscription-related information.
This may include:
First App-open events.
Onboarding progression.
Alarm creation and activation events.
Free trial commencements.
Subscription purchases.
Paywall interactions.
Certain device and technical information.
Analytics and advertising identifiers, where applicable.
We use this information to improve Sunshine, understand user engagement, manage subscriptions and measure advertising performance.
We do not intentionally transmit the contents of your private affirmations, voice recordings or personal reflections to advertising platforms.
Certain third-party services may process information that constitutes personal information under applicable privacy laws.
Further details are provided throughout this Privacy Policy.
Depending on the features you use, Sunshine may allow you to create or store information such as:
Your preferred name.
Alarm times.
Alarm sounds and settings.
Personal affirmation recordings.
Written affirmations.
Motivational preferences.
Morning check-in answers.
Mood or feeling selections.
Personal goals.
Manifestation entries.
Onboarding answers.
App-blocking preferences.
Streak information.
Notification preferences.
Other personal App settings.
This information is designed to be processed and stored locally on your device.
We do not operate a database that stores the contents of users' private affirmations, recordings or personal reflections.
We do not ordinarily receive or have access to this locally stored content.
As a result, we generally cannot retrieve, restore or provide copies of personal App content stored exclusively on your device.
Certain actions involving locally stored content may generate analytics events.
For example, Sunshine may record that an alarm was created or activated without transmitting the contents of the alarm or the associated recording.
These analytics practices are described in Section 12.
Sunshine does not require users to create an account.
We do not require users to provide their:
Full legal name.
Residential address.
Phone number.
Social-media account.
Personal email address.
Password.
An Apple Account or Google Account used to download Sunshine or purchase a subscription is managed by the relevant platform provider.
We do not receive users' Apple Account or Google Account passwords.
Although Sunshine does not require accounts, certain third-party analytics and subscription providers may use identifiers to distinguish App installations, usage sessions or subscription transactions.
These identifiers are used for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
Sunshine may offer subscriptions, free trials and other in-app purchases.
Purchases are processed through the Apple App Store, Google Play or another supported payment provider.
We do not receive or store complete payment-card numbers, bank-account credentials or app store passwords.
Sunshine and its subscription service providers may process limited purchase-related information, including:
Whether a free trial has started.
Whether a subscription purchase was successful.
Subscription status.
Subscription renewal or expiration information.
Subscription product identifiers.
Transaction identifiers.
Information required to verify purchase entitlements.
This information may be used to:
Provide access to purchased features.
Verify active subscriptions.
Restore eligible purchases.
Prevent and resolve purchase errors.
Manage subscription functionality.
Evaluate subscription performance.
Measure advertising conversions.
Sunshine uses Superwall for subscription paywall functionality and related analytics.
Certain free trial and purchase events are also shared with Meta for advertising attribution and conversion measurement.
Details are provided in Section 12.
Payment information collected directly by Apple, Google or another payment provider is governed by the relevant provider's privacy policies.
Apple may independently collect diagnostic, performance, purchase and usage information relating to Sunshine.
Where users have enabled the relevant analytics-sharing settings, Apple may provide us with App Store analytics, aggregated usage information or crash reports.
Such information may include:
App version.
Device model.
Operating system version.
General geographic region.
App sessions.
Crash reports.
Installation statistics.
Subscription and sales information.
We may use this information to improve App performance, diagnose technical problems and understand overall usage.
Apple's collection and processing of information is governed by its own privacy policies and applicable device settings.
Users can manage relevant analytics preferences through their device settings.
Sunshine may request permission to send notifications for alarms, reminders, affirmations and morning prompts.
Where Sunshine uses local notifications, their content and schedules are created and managed on your device.
We do not intentionally transmit the contents of locally scheduled notifications to advertising platforms.
Users can manage or disable notification permissions through their device settings.
Disabling notifications may affect the operation of alarms, reminders and other features.
Sunshine may request device permissions necessary to provide selected features.
Depending on your device and the features you use, permissions may include:
Notifications.
Alarm scheduling.
Microphone access for recordings.
Access to selected audio or media files.
Screen Time or app-blocking permissions.
Device activity permissions.
Other permissions necessary for supported App functionality.
These permissions are requested to enable the relevant features.
For example, microphone permission may be used to allow users to record personal affirmations.
Screen Time or app-blocking permissions may be used to restrict access to selected applications during a morning routine.
Granting a permission does not provide Sunshine with unrestricted access to your device.
We do not intentionally transmit private affirmation recordings or app-blocking selections to advertising platforms.
Users can review or withdraw applicable permissions through their device settings.
Some features may stop functioning if the necessary permissions are withdrawn.
Although Sunshine is designed to store personal content locally, information may be included in device or cloud backups.
Depending on the device and settings, this may include:
Apple iCloud Backup.
Local computer backups.
Google or Android backup services.
Device manufacturer backup systems.
These services are managed by the relevant platform provider and the user's device settings.
We do not ordinarily have access to information contained in users' personal device backups.
Deleting Sunshine or removing locally stored content may not immediately remove copies stored in existing backups.
Users should review their device and cloud backup settings to manage backed-up information.
Sunshine does not require users to create an account.
Personal App content stored locally on your device may be removed by deleting individual entries, where supported, or by deleting Sunshine from your device.
Deleting Sunshine may permanently remove locally stored information, including:
Affirmations.
Voice recordings.
Alarm settings.
Personal preferences.
Other locally stored App content.
Reinstalling Sunshine may not restore previously stored information.
Information contained in device or cloud backups may remain until those backups are deleted, replaced or otherwise removed.
Deleting Sunshine does not necessarily delete analytics, advertising attribution or subscription-related information previously processed by third-party services.
Users may contact us at risebemotivated@gmail.com to request access to, correction of or deletion of personal information that we hold or control.
Where applicable, we will take reasonable steps to assist with valid requests involving information processed on our behalf by third-party providers.
Some information may need to be retained for legitimate legal, accounting, security or fraud-prevention purposes.
Users may also consult the privacy policies of Meta, Mixpanel and Superwall for information about their respective privacy controls.
We may receive personal information when users voluntarily contact us through email or another support channel.
Such information may include:
Email address.
Name, if provided.
The contents of a message.
Screenshots or attachments.

App version.
Purchase information voluntarily provided for support purposes.
We use this information to:
Respond to enquiries.
Provide customer support.

Prevent fraud.
Maintain necessary business records.
Comply with legal obligations.
Users should avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information, passwords, complete payment-card information or private journal entries when contacting support.

We retain support communications for as long as reasonably necessary to:
Respond to enquiries.
Resolve support requests.
Maintain appropriate business records.
Investigate complaints.
Prevent fraud.
Comply with legal requirements.
Resolve disputes.
Users may request deletion of personal information voluntarily provided through support communications.
We will consider such requests in accordance with applicable privacy laws and legitimate retention requirements.
This section does not apply to personal content stored exclusively on users' devices that we do not possess or control.
Sunshine uses third-party technologies to understand App usage, measure advertising performance and manage subscription functionality.
The primary services used for these purposes are Meta, Mixpanel and Superwall.
Depending on their configuration, these services may process App events, device characteristics, technical information and identifiers.
Sunshine uses the Meta (Facebook) Software Development Kit to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
We use Meta to record the following events:
When Sunshine is opened for the first time.
When a user starts a free trial.
When a user purchases a subscription.
These events help us understand whether advertising campaigns result in App installations, free trials and purchases.
Depending on the SDK configuration and applicable permissions, Meta may also receive technical information associated with these events, including:
Event type.
Event timestamp.
Device characteristics.
Operating system information.
App identifiers.
Advertising identifiers, where permitted.
Other technical information collected by the SDK.
Meta may combine information received through its technologies with information it processes through its own services, subject to applicable laws and its privacy practices.
We do not intentionally transmit the contents of users' private affirmations, voice recordings, personal reflections or other private entries to Meta.
Information processed by Meta may be used for advertising measurement, attribution and other purposes described in Meta's applicable policies.
For further information, please see:
https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/
Sunshine uses Mixpanel to understand how users interact with the App and improve its functionality.
Mixpanel is used to measure:
Progression through onboarding.
Completion of onboarding steps.
Whether a user creates or sets an alarm.
Whether a user enables or activates an alarm.
Related App engagement events.
Depending on the SDK configuration, Mixpanel may also process technical information and analytics identifiers associated with these events.
We use Mixpanel to:
Identify onboarding drop-off points.
Understand how users engage with Sunshine.
Measure feature adoption.
Evaluate alarm creation and activation.
Identify opportunities to improve the App.
Mixpanel analytics are intended to measure user actions rather than the contents of users' private entries.
We do not intentionally send personal affirmation recordings, private reflections or the contents of individual alarms to Mixpanel.
Information processed by Mixpanel may constitute personal information where it relates to an identifiable user or device.
For further information, please see:
https://mixpanel.com/legal/privacy-policy/
Sunshine uses Superwall to manage subscription paywalls and evaluate subscription performance.
Depending on the App's configuration, Superwall may process information relating to:
Paywall presentations.
Paywall interactions.
Subscription offers.
Free trial commencements.
Subscription purchases.
Subscription status.
Related transaction events.
Technical information and identifiers.
We use Superwall to:
Present subscription offers.
Manage paywall functionality.
Understand subscription conversion rates.
Evaluate subscription performance.
Identify issues with subscription functionality.
Improve the subscription experience.
We do not intentionally send the contents of users' private affirmations, voice recordings or personal reflections to Superwall.
Payment transactions are processed through the relevant app store or authorised payment provider.
For further information, please see:
Depending on the third-party provider and its configuration, information processed may include:
Device type and model.
Operating system and version.
App version.
App installation identifiers.
Analytics identifiers.
Advertising identifiers, where permitted.
Event timestamps.
General geographic information.
Network information, including IP addresses where collected.
Information about interactions with App features.
Such information may constitute personal information under applicable privacy laws.
We use this information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
We do not intentionally collect precise location information for advertising or analytics purposes.
Third-party providers may infer approximate geographic information from network or device information.
Sunshine uses advertising attribution technologies to measure marketing performance.
Depending on their configuration, these technologies may associate information collected through Sunshine with information collected through other applications, websites or services.
Such processing may constitute tracking under applicable privacy laws or platform policies.
On supported Apple devices, Sunshine uses Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework to request permission for tracking that requires such permission.
Users can allow or decline the permission request.
Where permission is legally or technically required, tracking must not occur unless the necessary permission has been obtained.
Users may change applicable tracking permissions through their device's privacy settings.
Declining optional advertising tracking will not prevent users from accessing Sunshine's core functionality.
Certain privacy controls may also be provided by the relevant operating system or third-party service provider.
Sunshine is designed to keep users' personal App content locally stored on their devices.
We do not intentionally transmit the contents of the following information to Meta, Mixpanel or Superwall for advertising or analytics purposes:
Personal affirmations.
Voice recordings.
Private reflections.
Manifestation entries.
Personal journal content.
Private goals.
Personal alarm recordings.
Analytics events are intended to measure actions taken within the App rather than the content of private entries.
However, App usage events, identifiers and associated technical information may constitute personal information under applicable privacy laws.
Analytics, attribution and subscription-related information may be retained by Sunshine or its third-party service providers.
Retention periods depend on:
The type of information.
The purpose for which it is processed.
The provider's applicable retention policies.
Service configurations.
Contractual arrangements.
Applicable legal requirements.
We aim to retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise required or permitted by law.
Third-party providers may independently determine retention periods for information they process under their own privacy policies.
Where applicable, we take reasonable steps to manage personal information processed on our behalf and respond to valid privacy requests.
Sunshine relies on third-party technology providers to operate certain features and support App functionality.
These include:
Apple
Provides operating system functionality, App Store distribution, payment processing, notifications and related platform services.
Privacy Policy: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/

We take reasonable steps to assess and manage third-party services where required by applicable law.
Sunshine may also contain links to external websites.
Information collected through those websites is subject to their respective privacy practices.
Nothing in this Privacy Policy excludes any responsibility that cannot legally be excluded.
Sunshine is intended for users aged 13 years and older.
The App is not directed to children under 13.
We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children under 13.
If we become aware that personal information has been collected from a child in circumstances where applicable legal requirements have not been satisfied, we will take appropriate steps.
Users under 18 may be subject to additional privacy protections depending on their country, age and applicable law.
Certain jurisdictions require parental or guardian consent for specific processing activities involving minors.
Where required, parental or guardian consent must be obtained before the relevant processing occurs.
Advertising tracking and certain data-processing activities involving minors may be restricted or prohibited under applicable laws or platform policies.
Sunshine's use of third-party analytics and advertising technologies is subject to those requirements.
Parents or guardians who believe that a child has provided personal information through Sunshine or its support channels may contact us using the details in Section 21.
We take reasonable steps appropriate to the nature of the information we handle to protect personal information from unauthorised access, misuse, interference, loss, modification and disclosure.
Sunshine is designed to store personal App content locally rather than transmitting that content to servers operated by us.
However, no electronic storage or transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
The security of locally stored information depends partly on:
Device security.
Passcodes and biometric authentication.
Operating system security.
Physical access to the device.
Cloud backup settings.
Account security.
Whether the device has been compromised.
Users are encouraged to maintain appropriate security protections.
Third-party analytics and subscription providers may implement their own security measures in accordance with applicable laws and contractual arrangements.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Sunshine does not guarantee uninterrupted service, permanent preservation of locally stored information or protection against every security threat.
Nothing in this section excludes rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Sunshine does not ordinarily possess users' locally stored affirmations, recordings or private entries.
Accordingly, we generally cannot disclose personal App content that we do not hold or control.
However, we may hold or have access to certain information, including:
Support communications.
Analytics information.
Subscription-related information.
Transaction records.
Other information described in this Privacy Policy.
We may preserve, use or disclose information where reasonably necessary and permitted or required by applicable law.
This may include circumstances involving:
Legal obligations.
Court orders.
Regulatory requests.
Fraud investigations.
Security threats.
Legal disputes.
Protection of legal rights.
Serious and immediate risks of harm.
Any such disclosure will be subject to applicable legal requirements.
Sunshine is operated from Victoria, Australia and may be accessed by users internationally.
We may provide Sunshine to users in Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and other countries.
Although personal App content is designed to remain locally stored, analytics, advertising attribution, subscription and support information may be processed internationally.
Third-party providers, including Meta, Mixpanel and Superwall, may process information outside Australia.
These locations may include the United States and other countries where the providers or their authorised subprocessors operate.
International processing may involve the transfer, storage or access of personal information in jurisdictions with different privacy laws.
Where applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers, we are responsible for ensuring that appropriate legal requirements are satisfied.
Such safeguards may include contractual protections, recognised transfer mechanisms or other legally permitted arrangements, depending on the circumstances.
Users may contact us for information about applicable international transfer arrangements.
The countries in which information is processed may change as third-party providers update their services or infrastructure.

Depending on the specific processing activity and applicable circumstances, potential legal bases include:
Performance of a Contract
Processing may be necessary to provide requested App functionality, administer subscriptions or deliver purchased services.
Legitimate Interests
Certain limited processing activities may be necessary for legitimate business interests, including maintaining App functionality, preventing fraud, diagnosing technical problems and improving the user experience.
Reliance on legitimate interests requires an appropriate assessment of the necessity of the processing and its impact on users' rights and freedoms.
Consent
Where required, consent must be obtained for relevant processing activities, including certain advertising or tracking activities.
Users may withdraw consent where applicable.
Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
Legal Obligations
Certain information may be processed where necessary to comply with applicable legal requirements.
The legal basis applicable to a particular processing activity depends on its purpose, necessity and the requirements of the relevant jurisdiction.
Where the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and Australian Privacy Principles apply, users may have rights to request access to and correction of personal information held about them.
Users may also raise privacy complaints.
Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, users may have additional rights relating to their personal information.
These may include:
Access.
Rectification.
Erasure.

We will consider valid requests in accordance with applicable privacy laws.
Where information is processed on our behalf by a third-party provider, we will take appropriate steps to assist with applicable requests.
Where a third-party provider independently controls information, users may also need to exercise relevant rights directly with that provider.
For personal App content stored exclusively on users' devices, users can access or manage the content through available App features or device controls.
We generally cannot retrieve personal App content that we do not possess or control.
Users who have questions or concerns about Sunshine's privacy practices may contact us using the details in Section 21.
Please provide sufficient information for us to understand and investigate the concern.
Users should avoid including unnecessary sensitive personal information in privacy complaints.
We will review legitimate complaints and take reasonable steps to investigate and respond.
Where appropriate, we will explain the outcome and any corrective action taken.
We aim to respond within a reasonable period and within any timeframe required by applicable law.
Users may also have the right to contact an appropriate privacy regulator.
For Australian users, this may include the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
Website: https://www.oaic.gov.au/
For users in other jurisdictions, the relevant privacy or data protection authority may be responsible for handling complaints.
Nothing in this Privacy Policy restricts a user's right to exercise legal rights or contact an appropriate regulator.
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in:
Sunshine's features.
Analytics technologies.
Advertising attribution practices.
Subscription functionality.
Third-party service providers.
Applicable laws.
Our information-handling practices.
