# Privacy Policy for FreedivePhilosophy (Deep)

**Effective Date:** August 25, 2025
**Last Updated:** October 26, 2025

## Introduction

FreedivePhilosophy ("we," "us," or "our") operates the Deep mobile application (the "App"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use our App.

## Information We Do Not Collect

We are committed to protecting your privacy. Our App is designed to minimize data collection:

- **No Personal Information**: We do not require or collect personal information such as names, email addresses, or phone numbers
- **No Account Registration**: The App does not require account creation or login
- **No Identifying Analytics**: We do not collect any data that can be linked to your identity
- **No Location Data**: We do not access or collect your location information
- **No Marketing Data**: We do not collect information for marketing or advertising purposes

## Local Data Storage

The App stores certain information locally on your device to provide core functionality:

- **Session Progress**: Your meditation and breathing exercise progress is stored locally on your device using Core Data
- **App Preferences**: Settings and preferences are stored locally
- **Course Progress**: Your progress through meditation courses is tracked locally

This local data is never transmitted to our servers or shared with third parties.

## Anonymous Event Logging

To help us improve the App and understand how users engage with our content, we collect anonymous usage statistics:

- **Session Completions**: Which meditation sessions and breathing exercises are completed
- **Personal Bests**: Performance metrics for breath-hold training and similar exercises
- **General Usage Events**: App feature usage and interaction patterns

**Privacy Protection:**
- All event data is linked to a randomly generated anonymous identifier that cannot be connected to your identity
- This identifier is unique to your device but contains no personal information
- We cannot and do not attempt to link this data to any real-world identity
- The data collected is purely statistical and used solely for improving the App experience

This anonymous data helps us understand which content is most valuable to users and where we can make improvements, all while maintaining your complete privacy.

## Audio Streaming

The App streams audio content for meditation and breathing exercises. When you use audio features:

- Audio files are streamed directly to your device
- We do not log, track, or store detailed information about your listening habits
- Only anonymous session completion events are logged (as described in Anonymous Event Logging above)

## Third-Party Services

We use OpenAI's Text-to-Speech (TTS) service on our backend to generate some audio content. However:

- No user data is transmitted to OpenAI
- TTS requests do not contain any personal or user-specific information
- Audio generation occurs independently of individual user sessions

## Children's Privacy

Our App does not knowingly collect information from children under 13 years of age. The App is designed to be privacy-friendly for users of all ages.

## International Users

This Privacy Policy applies to all users worldwide. Since we do not collect personal data, international data transfer regulations do not apply to our App usage.

## Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected in the "Last Updated" date above. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

## Data Security

While we do not collect personal data, we implement appropriate technical measures to protect the local data stored on your device and ensure secure audio streaming.

## Your Rights

Since we do not collect or store personal data:

- There is no personal data to access, modify, or delete from our systems
- All your app data is stored locally on your device and can be removed by uninstalling the App
- You have complete control over your local data
