Your privacy is paramount to us. Our mission is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to find balance, and protecting your data is a fundamental part of that commitment. By using our Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Our Commitment to Your Privacy

We are committed to being transparent and principled in our handling of your data:

To create your unique, therapeutic songs, we need to understand you. We collect the following types of information:

a. Information You Provide Directly to Us:

  • Account Information: When you create an account, we may collect your name, email address, and password.
  • Check-In Information: This is the core input for your personalized songs. This may include:
    • Your current emotional state (e.g., feelings of stress or anxiety).
    • Your desired goals and future feelings (e.g., to feel calm or focused).
    • Your current activity or focus (e.g., working, commuting).
    • Your chosen mindset and intentions (e.g., practicing gratitude).
    • Your musical tastes and lyrical style preferences.
    • Any other information you choose to provide in your own words.
  • Communications: If you contact us directly (e.g., for customer support), we may receive additional information about you.

b. Information We Collect Automatically:

  • Usage Data: We collect information about your interactions with the Service, such as the songs you create, your favorite songs, and features you use. This helps us understand what is most effective and allows the app to grow more intuitive over time.
  • Device and Analytics Information: We collect information about the device you use to access our Service, including your IP address, operating system, device identifiers, and crash data. We use services like Google Analytics for Firebase and Apple's own analytics to collect this information.

How We Use Your Information

Our use of your data is dedicated to one primary goal: creating a deeply personal and effective wellness tool for you.

  • To Provide and Personalize the Service: We use your Check-In Information to generate the melody and original lyrics for your unique songs. We also use your data to tailor your in-app experience, such as by recommending sessions or features.
  • To Improve, Analyze, and Secure the Service: We use usage and device data to understand how our Service is performing, to identify areas for improvement, to fix bugs, and to secure our platform.
  • To Communicate With You: We may use your email address to send you service-related updates, information about your subscription, or marketing communications (which you can opt-out of).

How We Share Your Information

We share your information only in the limited circumstances described below. We do not and will not sell your personal data.

  • With Service Providers: We share your information with trusted third-party vendors who perform services on our behalf. These providers are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and are only permitted to use your information to provide services to us. These categories of providers include:
    • AI and Cloud Computing Providers: To generate your personalized songs and host our Service, we send your Check-In Information to our AI partners and cloud providers, such as Google Cloud and Google's Gemini.

  • In an Anonymized or Aggregated Form: We may share aggregated or anonymized data that can no longer be used to identify you with partners or for research purposes to advance the field of mental wellness.

Data Security and Retention

We take the security of your data seriously. We use technical and administrative measures to protect your information, including the encryption of your Check-In data to keep it confidential. We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with the Service.
