Privacy Policy & Data Deletion — MindfulMe: Sleep Tracker

Offline-First Privacy Guarantee: MindfulMe operates on a strict offline-first architecture. All your personal reflections, bedtime data, sleep quality scores, and factor notes are processed and stored exclusively on your local device. We do not operate remote databases, we do not require user accounts or logins, and we never transmit or monetize your personal data.

1. Introduction

Orbit Tech Lab (“we”, “our”, or “us”) provides the MindfulMe: Sleep Tracker mobile application (the “App”). This Privacy Policy explains what information the App stores, how device permissions are utilized, and how you have full ownership and control over your data.

2. Information Stored Locally on Your Device

MindfulMe stores information strictly within your device's isolated application storage sandbox using AsyncStorage. We do not transmit this data to external servers. The local data includes:

Sleep Tracking Logs: Date, bedtime, morning wake-up time, calculated sleep duration, and subjective quality ratings (1 to 5 stars).
Personal Reflections & Tags: Personal journal notes, dream reflections, and wellness factor tags (caffeine, exercise, stress, meditation, screen time) that you voluntarily enter.
User Preferences: Sleep duration target (e.g., 8.0 hours), bedtime wind-down reminder time, repeat schedule, and theme settings.
Local Security PIN: If you choose to enable the optional PIN lock, a cryptographic hash of your 4-digit code is stored strictly in your device's secure local storage.

3. Data Collection, Transmission, and Third-Party Sharing

Zero Remote Transmission: Your diary notes, thoughts, and sleep records never leave your physical device.
No Third-Party Advertising: MindfulMe contains no ads, banner promotions, or advertising SDKs.
No Third-Party Analytics Trackers: We do not bundle analytics or behavioral tracking SDKs.
No Sale or Sharing of Data: We do not sell, rent, disclose, or trade user data to any third party.

4. Android Device Permissions & Purpose

MindfulMe requests only the minimum required Android operating system permissions to deliver core functionality:

android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS (Android 13+ / API 33+): Required solely to deliver your scheduled local bedtime reminders. Reminders are scheduled locally on-device. We never send promotional, marketing, or push broadcast notifications.
android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: Required by Android to restore your scheduled bedtime reminder notifications after your device is restarted or rebooted.
android.permission.VIBRATE: Provides gentle haptic tactile feedback when entering your PIN code and receiving bedtime reminder alerts.

5. User Rights & Data Deletion Policy (Google Play Compliance)

In compliance with Google Play's User Data & Data Deletion policies, users have complete autonomy to manage and permanently delete their data at any time:

Deleting Individual Sleep Entries:
Open the App, navigate to the History or Calendar screen, tap any recorded night to view details, and tap the Delete button. The selected entry is immediately and permanently removed from local storage.
1-Click Complete Data Wipe (Reset All Data):
To purge all records at once:
1. Open the App and go to Settings (or the More tab).
2. Scroll to the Data & Backup section.
3. Tap “Delete / Reset All Data”.
4. Confirm the prompt. This action immediately and irreversibly erases all sleep records, journal entries, factor notes, PIN lock passcode, and resets all preferences.
Uninstalling the App:
Because all application data is stored in the device's private sandboxed container, uninstalling MindfulMe from your Android device immediately and permanently deletes all stored records, preferences, and cached files from your phone.
Data Deletion Requests by Email:
Since MindfulMe does not collect or transmit personal accounts to external servers, we do not maintain a remote database of user profiles. However, if you have any questions regarding data removal or need assistance, you can email our support team at support@orbittechlab.com.

6. Data Portability & Export

You have full access to your data. Navigate to Settings > Export Sleep Data to generate a structured JSON file or a spreadsheet-ready CSV file of your entire sleep history, which you can save or share to your personal cloud or computer.

7. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

MindfulMe is designed for general audiences aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect, store, or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13.

8. Non-Medical Wellness Disclaimer

Important Non-Medical Notice: MindfulMe is intended solely for personal mindfulness, self-reflection, and healthy sleep duration habit logging. MindfulMe is NOT a medical device, nor does it provide clinical diagnosis, medical advice, or treatment for sleep disorders (such as insomnia or sleep apnea). Always consult a licensed healthcare professional for any medical inquiries.

9. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Any revisions will be published on this page (https://mindfulme.orbittechlab.com/privacy.html) and reflected inside the App's “Privacy Policy” screen with an updated effective date.
