Privacy, stated clearly.

The iOS and iPadOS app

Information stored on your device

Breathe with Me stores app settings, customized breathing timings, reminder preferences, and completed-session history inside the app's protected local storage. This information is used to restore your preferences and show progress, weekly minutes, streaks, and recent sessions.

This information stays on your device. The app does not send it to Andreas Haag, Speecon, Apple, audio providers, music providers, or any other third party.

Information the app does not collect

• Name, email address, telephone number, or account identifiers.
• Device or advertising identifiers, analytics events, or third-party crash reports.
• Location, contacts, photos, camera, microphone, HealthKit, or motion data.
• Breathing-session history, settings, reminders, or listening behavior.

Audio, music, and notifications

Voice guidance and music are bundled with the app and play locally. The app does not record audio or access the microphone. If you enable a reminder, iOS or iPadOS requests notification permission and schedules the reminder locally.

Sharing, retention, and deletion

The app shares no user data because it collects no user data. Local settings and practice history remain until you remove them using an available in-app control or delete the app. Deleting the app removes its local container. Notification permission can be withdrawn at any time in system Settings.

The breathe-with-me.app website

Website processing is separate from the app and does not change the app's App Store privacy disclosure.

Hosting and security logs

When you request a page, our hosting infrastructure may process technical request data such as IP address, date and time, requested URL, browser information, and security events. This data is used to deliver and protect the website and is retained only as needed for operations, security, and legal obligations. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in providing a secure and functional website under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Anonymous website analytics with Umami

With your consent, we use a self-hosted Umami installation at stats.simpletool.pro to understand page visits, referrals, device categories, countries, breathing-session starts and completions, newsletter confirmations, and outbound app, music, or video clicks. For breathing practices, events can include the selected pattern, chosen duration, session status, and audio setting. We do not send names, email addresses, message content, advertising identifiers, or information entered into forms.

The analytics script is not requested and no analytics event is sent before you select “Allow analytics.” The legal basis is your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG. You may withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future.

Umami uses no analytics cookies and does not track visitors across websites. The IP address and browser user agent necessarily reach the self-hosted server when an analytics request is made. Umami uses them to determine coarse location and create a rotating, pseudonymous session hash; the raw IP address is not stored in the analytics database. Analytics records are retained for no longer than six months.

Email series

If you request the seven-day email series, your email address is sent to our email service provider, Brevo, to send a double-opt-in confirmation and the messages you requested. The address is kept until you unsubscribe or request deletion, subject to limited records needed to honor an unsubscribe or meet legal obligations. You can unsubscribe from every message.

External media and services

YouTube players are not loaded until you choose to play a video. Music providers and LANDR are contacted only when you follow their links. Once loaded or opened, those services process information under their own privacy policies.

Cookies and local storage

The Breathe with Me website does not use advertising or analytics cookies. We store your analytics choice in your browser's local storage so the site can honor it on later visits. A third-party media service may use its own storage after you actively load its content.

Your choices and rights

You can disable app reminders in system Settings, remove local app data by deleting the app, decline to load third-party media, and unsubscribe from email at any time.

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, erase, restrict, or object to processing of your personal data, and to receive data you provided in a portable format. You may also lodge a complaint with your competent data-protection authority.

Because the app has no account and sends us no app data, we cannot identify or retrieve an individual user's app settings or practice history.
