Breathing Guide: Calm & Focus — Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

Breathing Guide helps you follow calming breathing exercises with tones, haptics, and an optional eyes-free session screen. The app is designed to work entirely offline. We do not collect, upload, or sell your personal data in the current release.

What we collect

We do not collect, transmit, sell, or share personal information or usage data.

Breathing Guide has no developer-operated backend in v1.

• App settings (such as sound, haptics, and display preferences) are stored locally on your device.
• User-created breathing patterns are stored locally on your device.
• A one-time safety-notice acknowledgement may be stored locally.
• The app does not store breathing-session history or health information.
• No account, email, or login is required.
• No analytics, advertising, crash-reporting SDKs, or network access in the current release.

Uninstalling the app removes locally stored information from your device.

Network use

Breathing Guide does not use the internet. The app does not request internet access. All tones, timing, and session logic run on your device.

Permissions

• Notifications — to show controls for an active background breathing session.
• Foreground service — to keep a user-started session running with audible and haptic phase cues when the screen is off.
• Vibration — for optional haptic breathing cues.
• Wake lock — only while an active session is running, so phase cues continue reliably.

Third-party services

Current version: No ads, no cloud sync, and no third-party analytics. Breathing sessions run entirely on your device.

Future updates: If we add optional ads, online content, or other features that use the network, we will update this page before they ship.

Wellness disclaimer

Breathing Guide is a general wellness tool. Breathe gently and stop if you feel dizzy or lightheaded. It is not a substitute for medical care.

Children's privacy

Breathing Guide does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes

We will update this page if our data practices change.
