The Pause App is a mobile application designed to guide users through breathing meditation sessions. The App provides:
Health and Safety:
Proper Use:
All content, features, and functionality of the App, including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, icons, images, audio clips, and software, are owned by the App developer and are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.
No Medical Advice: The App provides general wellness information and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
Results Not Guaranteed: Individual results from meditation practice may vary. The App does not guarantee specific health or wellness outcomes.
Technical Limitations: While we strive to provide a reliable service, we cannot guarantee that the App will be error-free or uninterrupted.
The App developer shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages resulting from the use or inability to use the App, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
We reserve the right to modify these Terms of Use at any time. Updated terms will be posted within the App, and continued use constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
For questions about these Terms of Use, please contact us through the App Store review system or the support information provided in the App.
Personal Information: We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal information, account details, or user profiles.
Health Data:
Usage Data:
Device Information: We do not collect device identifiers, location data, or any technical information about your device.
Local Storage Only: All app preferences and settings are stored locally on your device using iOS UserDefaults. This data never leaves your device.
Health Integration: If you grant permission, the App will save completed meditation sessions as "mindful minutes" to your Apple Health app. This integration is handled entirely by Apple's HealthKit framework and follows Apple's privacy standards.
No Data Sharing: We do not share, sell, rent, or disclose any user data to third parties because we do not collect any user data.
Apple Health: Health data written to Apple Health is subject to Apple's privacy policy and your personal Apple Health sharing settings.
Local Storage: Since all data remains on your device, your information is protected by your device's built-in security features, including device encryption and passcode protection.
No Cloud Storage: We do not use cloud storage, external databases, or any remote servers for user data.
The App does not knowingly collect any information from children under 13. The App is designed to be safe for users of all ages, with parental guidance recommended for children.
Apple HealthKit: The App uses Apple's HealthKit framework for health data integration. Apple's privacy policy applies to this service.
System Sounds: The App uses iOS system sounds and/or bundled audio files. No external audio services are used.
Since no data is collected or transmitted, there are no international data transfer concerns. All processing occurs locally on your device.
We will notify users of any material changes to this Privacy Policy through App Store updates. Continued use of the App after such changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
For privacy-related questions or concerns, please contact us through:
Your Privacy Matters: This App is designed with privacy by default. We don't collect your data because we don't need it to provide you with a great meditation experience.
Local First: Everything stays on your device - your settings, preferences, and meditation history.
Health Integration: Apple Health integration is optional and handled securely by Apple's own frameworks.
No Tracking: No analytics, no user tracking, no data collection - just meditation.
This document serves as both Terms of Use and Privacy Policy for the Pause App. By using the App, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to these terms.
