Privacy Policy
Effective Date: May 25 2025
1. Introduction
InstaZen (“the App”) lets users create short, AI-guided meditation sessions. This Privacy Policy explains how I—an independent developer—collect, use, and protect information when you use the App.
2. Information I Collect
- Account Data: Email address, display name, and profile photo collected via Firebase Authentication to create and manage your account and let you sign in on multiple devices.
- Usage Data: Screens viewed, session length, and taps collected automatically through Firebase Analytics to understand feature popularity and improve stability.
- Device & Log Data: Android version, device model, crash logs, and anonymized identifiers collected automatically through Firebase Analytics & Crashlytics to diagnose bugs and prevent abuse.
No microphone, camera, health, or payment data is collected.
3. How I Use Your Information
- Authenticate you and keep your account in sync
- Monitor performance and fix crashes
- Analyze aggregated trends to decide what to build next
- (Optional) Send in-app tips or feature announcements; no push notifications unless you opt in
4. Sharing & Disclosure
I do not sell your data. It is shared only:
- With Google/Firebase to provide authentication, analytics, and crash reporting—handled under Google’s privacy terms
- If legally required to comply with law or protect rights and safety
Aggregated, de-identified statistics (e.g., “70 % of users complete a full meditation”) may be used in public updates.
5. Data Retention
- Account information – kept until you delete your account or ask for erasure
- Analytics events – stored for up to 14 months, then deleted or aggregated
- Crash logs – stored for 90 days
6. Security
I rely on Firebase’s built-in safeguards—TLS in transit and encrypted storage at rest where available—and restrict console access to myself only. While no system is perfect, I monitor releases and apply patches promptly.
7. Children
The App is not directed to children under 13. I do not knowingly collect data from anyone under that age. Contact me if you believe a child has used the App so I can delete their information.
9. International Transfers
Data may be processed and stored on Google servers worldwide. Where required, standard contractual safeguards are used to protect your information.
10. Changes to This Policy
I may update this Policy from time to time. The “Effective Date” at the top will always show the latest revision.
