Privacy Policy
At Cozy Reflection, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you use our app.
Last Updated: October 15, 2023
Information We Collect
Cozy Reflection is designed with privacy in mind. We collect minimal information to provide you with the best possible experience:
- Account Information: If you choose to create an account, we collect your email address and a password (securely encrypted).
- Journal Entries: Your reflections, notes, and journal entries are stored locally on your device and optionally synced to your private cloud account.
- App Usage Data: We collect anonymous usage statistics to improve app functionality and user experience.
- Device Information: Basic device information (type, OS version) to ensure compatibility and optimize performance.
Important: Your journal entries are never read by our team. They are encrypted and stored securely, accessible only by you.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To provide, maintain, and improve the Cozy Reflection app
- To personalize your experience and suggest relevant mindfulness exercises
- To allow synchronization of your data across devices (if you choose to enable sync)
- To communicate with you about app updates, new features, or important notices
- To ensure the security and integrity of our service
Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information:
- All data transmitted between the app and our servers is encrypted using TLS
- Journal entries are encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption
- We use secure authentication methods and never store plain-text passwords
- Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments are conducted
While we strive to protect your data, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Data Storage & Synchronization
Cozy Reflection offers two options for storing your data:
- Local-Only Storage: Your data stays exclusively on your device. We don't have access to it.
- Cloud Sync (Optional): If you enable cloud synchronization, your encrypted data is stored on secure servers to allow access across your devices.
You can switch between these options at any time in the app settings.
Third-Party Services
We may use third-party services for specific functions:
- Analytics: Anonymous usage data to improve app performance
- Cloud Infrastructure: Secure data storage if you enable cloud sync
- Payment Processors: For premium subscriptions (if applicable)
These services have their own privacy policies, and we only share information necessary for them to perform their functions.
Cookies & Tracking
Cozy Reflection does not use cookies for tracking purposes. We respect "Do Not Track" signals and do not engage in cross-app tracking or advertising.
The app may use local storage on your device to save preferences and journal entries, but this data is not shared with third parties.
Children's Privacy
Cozy Reflection is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete such information.
Your Rights & Choices
You have the right to:
- Access, update, or delete your personal information
- Export your journal entries at any time
- Opt-out of non-essential communications
- Disable cloud synchronization and delete cloud-stored data
- Request a copy of all data we have about you
- Delete your account and all associated data
These options are available in the app settings or by contacting us directly.
International Data Transfers
If you use cloud synchronization, your data may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data in accordance with this privacy policy and applicable laws.
