Overview
ThetaJourney ("the App") is operated by Wise Mind Body LLC ("we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy describes what data the App accesses, how it is used, and how it is stored. We designed the App with your privacy as a core principle: your data belongs to you, stays on your device, and is never sold or shared.
Data We Do Not Collect
We do not collect, transmit, or store any personal data on external servers. Specifically, we do not:
- Collect your name, email, phone number, or contact information
- Track your location
- Access your contacts, photos, or files
- Use analytics, advertising, or tracking services
- Require account creation or login
- Send session data, biometric data, or usage patterns to any server
Device Sensors and Biometric Data
ThetaJourney uses device sensors to provide adaptive bio-feedback during sessions. This data is processed in real time on your device and is never stored beyond the active session or transmitted externally.
CoreMotion (Accelerometer and Gyroscope)
The App accesses your iPhone's accelerometer and gyroscope through Apple's CoreMotion framework to detect body stillness and movement during sessions. This motion data is used in real time to adjust audio parameters and is not stored after the session ends.
AirPods Head-Tracking
If you are using AirPods Pro or AirPods Max, the App accesses head-tracking motion data through Apple's CoreMotion headphone motion API. This data indicates head position and movement and is used to enhance the bio-feedback signal during sessions. Head-tracking data is processed in real time and is not stored.
Apple Watch — HealthKit Integration
If you grant permission, the App reads heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) data from Apple HealthKit during sessions. This biometric data is used to drive adaptive audio parameters in real time.
The App also writes mindful session records to HealthKit when a session is completed, if you have granted write permission.
HealthKit data access follows Apple's HealthKit guidelines:
- You must explicitly grant permission for the App to read HR and HRV data
- You must explicitly grant permission for the App to write mindful session records
- You can revoke these permissions at any time in the Health app settings
- HealthKit data is never transmitted to external servers
- HealthKit data is never used for advertising or marketing purposes
Data Stored on Your Device
The App stores the following data locally on your device using Apple's UserDefaults storage:
- Session history: Records of your completed sessions including duration, state selected, regulation depth, and rating. Capped at 100 most recent records.
- Preferences: Your selected settings such as default state, sound preferences, and display options
- Streak data: Your current and longest session streaks, milestone achievements
- Subscription status: A local record of your current subscription tier, synced from RevenueCat
This data is stored only on your device and is not accessible to us or any third party. If you delete the App, all of this data is permanently removed.
Third-Party Services
RevenueCat
The App uses RevenueCat for subscription management and in-app purchase processing. RevenueCat is the only external service that the App communicates with. RevenueCat processes:
- Your subscription status (active, expired, trial)
- Your subscription tier (monthly, annual, lifetime)
- Anonymous app user ID (generated by RevenueCat, not linked to your identity)
RevenueCat does not receive your name, email, biometric data, session history, or any other personal information. Payment processing is handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. We never see or handle your payment information.
For more information, see RevenueCat's Privacy Policy.
No Other Third-Party Services
The App does not integrate with any other third-party services, analytics platforms, crash reporting tools, or advertising networks.
Children's Privacy
ThetaJourney is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children. Since the App does not collect personal information from any user, there is no mechanism through which children's data could be gathered.
Data Security
All data remains on your device and is protected by your device's built-in security features, including hardware encryption and passcode or biometric protection. Since session and biometric data are never transmitted over the network, there is no risk of interception or server-side breach.
Your Rights
Because the App does not collect or store personal data on external servers, there is no personal data for us to access, modify, or delete on your behalf. You have full control over all App data through your device:
- Delete the App to remove all stored data
- Revoke HealthKit permissions in the Health app at any time
- Manage your subscription through the App Store
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in the App or applicable law. Any changes will be reflected in the "Last Updated" date above. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
