Analytics and Tracking

We collect internal analytics to understand how users interact with our app and improve features. This data is used solely for improving our services and is not shared with third parties for advertising purposes. We do not track your activity across other apps or websites.

First-Party Analytics Only

We process all analytics data ourselves using our own systems. We do not use any third-party analytics services or SDKs (such as Google Analytics, Facebook Analytics, or similar services). Your usage data stays with us and is never shared with external analytics companies.

Notifications

We use notifications to provide continuous watch vibrations during meditation sessions and to send meditation reminders. When you grant notification permissions, you consent to receiving these notifications for meditation-related features. You can disable notifications at any time in your device settings.

Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including encryption of passwords, secure HTTPS connections, and regular security audits. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
