1. Introduction
Welcome to SoundBathDaily ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how your information is handled when you use our website soundbathdaily.com.
2. Data Collection and Storage
Local Processing Only: SoundBathDaily is designed as a client-side application. This means that your session data, preferences, and usage history are processed and stored locally on your own device using your browser's "Local Storage" or "IndexedDB" technologies.
We do NOT collect:
- Personal Identification Information (Name, Email, Phone, etc.) unless you voluntarily contact us.
- Any data is sent to our servers without your explicit consent.
3. Optional Anonymous Research Telemetry
To help improve SoundBathDaily and contribute to sound healing research, we offer an opt-in only anonymous telemetry feature. This is completely optional and disabled by default.
What We Collect (Only If You Opt In)
If you choose to participate, we collect only the following anonymous data:
- Experience type (e.g., "calm", "focus")
- Session duration
- Session completion rate
- Your satisfaction rating (if provided)
- Time of day (bucketed, e.g., "evening" - not exact time)
- Region (continent only, e.g., "asia" - not country or city)
What We NEVER Collect
- Your name, email, or any personal identifiers
- Your IP address (our database is configured to not log IPs)
- Device fingerprints or unique identifiers
- Precise location or exact timestamps
- Any data that could identify you personally
How We Protect Your Privacy
- No user IDs: Each session is a standalone entry with no way to link sessions to a specific user.
- Time rounding: Timestamps are rounded to the nearest hour.
- Location abstraction: We only record continent-level region based on your timezone.
- Minimal data: We collect only what's needed for research insights.
Your Control
- You can opt in or out at any time in the app's Settings.
- If you opt out, no data is collected or sent.
- Previously collected data cannot be linked to you or deleted on request (because it contains no identifiers).
How We Use This Data
We use aggregated, anonymous research data to:
- Understand which experiences and durations work best
- Improve session pacing and frequency configurations
- Publish findings that contribute to sound healing research (only aggregate statistics, never individual data)
4. Third-Party Services
While our core app does not collect data without consent, we use trusted third-party services that may collect standard internet log information and visitor behavior patterns.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site (e.g., which pages they engage with). Google Analytics uses cookies to collect anonymous traffic data. We have anonymized IP addresses where possible.
Google AdSense
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google and its partners use cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites on the internet.

5. Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device. You can control or delete cookies in your browser settings. However, disabling cookies may affect the functionality of third-party tools like the ones mentioned above.
6. Children's Privacy
Our service is not directed to anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
