Privacy Policy

This policy explains what data our apps, websites, and related services use. Core app features work without an account, and most app data stays on your device.

We do not sell data, use it for advertising, or track you across other companies' services. Analytics and diagnostics are optional and off by default. They use random identifiers that are not linked to your account, and we do not use them to identify or monitor you. The telemetry format has no dedicated fields for your name, email address, health data, precise location, or advertising identifier. Diagnostic reports can contain bounded technical text and stack information generated when an error occurs.

Data kept on your device

Our apps may store settings, routines, reminders, practice history, and other app state locally. Required app state may be transferred between a paired iPhone and Apple Watch. Local reminders are scheduled by the operating system.

If you enable Apple Health integration in a supported app, it requests permission only to write Mindful Minutes. We do not read Apple Health data.

Optional account and cloud sync

Where an account is offered, you may use core app features without one. If you create an account, we process your email address and sign-in identifier and store the supported settings you choose to synchronize.

We use account data to provide authentication and synchronization. It is stored separately from telemetry. You can initiate account and associated-data deletion within the app.

Purchases

Your app store processes purchases. We use a purchase-management provider to validate purchases, restore purchases, and determine access to paid features. It processes an app identifier and purchase and subscription information for those purposes.

Optional analytics

Analytics are disabled by default. If you enable Share Analytics, the app may send events about app, practice, and feature use; session outcomes; selected settings; app and operating-system versions; platform; preferred language; and configured device region. The configured region is a device preference, not precise physical location.

Optional diagnostics

Diagnostics are disabled by default and controlled separately from analytics. If you enable Share Diagnostics, the app may send bounded technical error details and stack information, crash and performance information, and app, operating-system, and device information.

On supported devices, diagnostics may include system diagnostic reports. Diagnostic data is limited to what is useful for investigating technical problems. Technical text may come from the app, operating system, software libraries, or a failing service.

Feedback

The feedback action opens your mail app. Nothing is sent until you review and send the email. We receive the message you write and any visible prefilled technical details, such as app version, build, operating-system version, and device class. Your and our email providers process the message to deliver it.

Website

Our website does not use advertising or analytics cookies. Its hosting infrastructure may process ordinary request and security-log data, such as IP address, requested page, timestamp, browser type, and operating system, to deliver and protect the website.

Why we process data

  • Account, sync, purchase, and requested support data: to provide the service or feature.
  • Analytics and diagnostics: only with your consent.
  • Website and service security: our legitimate interest in operating secure services.
  • Records that the law requires us to keep: compliance with legal obligations.

Service providers

  • Cloud infrastructure providers support authentication, cloud sync, and telemetry hosting.
  • Platform providers support app distribution, purchases, sign-in, health integration, and system diagnostics.
  • Purchase-management providers validate purchases and manage access to paid features.
  • Website hosting and email providers deliver the website and support messages.

How telemetry is handled

We use telemetry only to improve app features and reliability. Routine analysis uses automated, grouped reports rather than monitoring individual activity. Access to an individual technical record is limited to cases where it is needed to investigate a specific problem or respond to a request.

We do not give other companies permission to use telemetry for their own purposes. Service providers process it on our behalf to operate the services described above. We otherwise disclose personal data only when legally required or necessary to protect users and the service.

International transfers

Some providers or their subprocessors may process data outside the European Economic Area. Where required, these transfers use an adequacy decision, Standard Contractual Clauses, or another lawful safeguard.

Retention and deletion

  • Account and synchronized data are kept until you delete the account, except where retention is legally required.
  • Raw telemetry is retained until manually deleted.
  • Support, purchase, and security records are kept only as long as needed for their purpose or required by law.

Your choices and rights

You can enable or disable analytics and diagnostics independently in the app's settings. Disabling a setting stops future collection in that category. Account use is optional and is never conditional on analytics or diagnostic consent.

Depending on applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or a copy of your personal data; object to processing based on legitimate interests; and withdraw consent at any time. Send requests to privacy [at] achim [dot] io. You may complain to a data protection authority, including the Bavarian State Office for Data Protection Supervision.

Security and changes

We use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data. We may update this policy when our services or legal requirements change.
