Wind Down ("Bedtime Routine: Wind Down" on Google Play) is a calm evening routine app with relaxing sounds. This policy explains what happens to your information when you use it.
The short version
We collect nothing. We don't collect, receive, store or share any information about you. We have no server.
What you create stays on your phone. Your routines, nights, journal and settings are never sent anywhere.
No account. There is no sign-up, no login and no email address.
No ads, no tracking. The app has no advertising, no analytics and no crash reporting.
Buying Pro goes through Google Play, under Google's privacy policy (see "Purchases").
What the app keeps on your phone
To work, the app saves these on your phone, in its own private storage:
your routines and their steps;
the nights you finished a routine (shown on the calendar);
what you write in the three-line journal;
your settings, such as your reminder times, your sound and your sleep timer.
This stays on your phone. It is never sent to us or anyone else; we can't see it.
Backups and moving to a new phone
The app is set so that Android's cloud backup leaves its data out: none of it goes to your Google account or any other online backup.
On Android 12 and later, if you move to a new phone with a direct transfer (by cable or a direct Wi-Fi connection between the two phones, which you start yourself), Android copies your routines, nights, journal and settings straight to the new phone. Nothing passes through us.
Deleting your information
Everything the app keeps is on your phone, so you're in control of it:
delete a routine or step in the app, or clear tonight's journal entry on the journal step;
or delete everything at once: uninstall the app, or open Android Settings, then Apps, then Wind Down, then Storage, then Clear storage.
Notifications
If you turn on a reminder, the app asks Android for permission to show notifications. Reminders are made and shown on your phone; nothing is sent anywhere.
Sounds
Every sound is inside the app or made by the app on your phone. The app never downloads or streams anything.
Purchases
The app offers one optional, one-time purchase: Wind Down Pro. To make this possible it includes Google's Play Billing Library, which talks to the Google Play Store app on your phone:
Paying: Google Play shows the price, takes the payment and keeps the record of it, under Google's own privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy). We never see your card or other payment details.
Checking Pro: when the app opens, it asks Google Play on your phone whether this Google account has bought Pro, so a purchase comes back on a new phone and a refunded one is removed. The answer is kept on your phone; it is not sent to us.
Google's technical logs: the Play Billing Library also sends Google technical information about its own requests (for example whether a request to Google Play worked or failed), which Google uses to keep billing working. This is why the app has Android's internet permission. It is the only part of the app that uses the internet; the app's own code never does, and nothing you create in the app is part of it.
The app sends us nothing. Google Play keeps the order record of a purchase and shows it to us in the Google Play Console, as it does for every seller; we use it only to handle refunds and questions about that purchase.
Children
The app is made for adults and doesn't knowingly collect information from anyone, including children, because it collects no information at all.
Changes to this policy
If this policy ever changes, the new version will be posted at this same address with a new date at the top. If the app ever starts sending anything you create off your phone, this policy will say so clearly before that version is released.
