Introduction

Interaxon Inc., d/b/a Meditation Studio, LLC ("Meditation Studio", "Company", "we" or "us"), respects your privacy and are committed to protecting it through our compliance with this policy. This policy describes our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing information that we collect from you or that you provide to us when you visit our site www.meditationstudioapp.com (our "Site") and our iPhone/iPad/Android application or Alexa Skill ("App") along with use of any other services made available by us (collectively and together with the Site, the "Services").

This policy applies only to information we collect on our Site and in our App, and other electronic communications sent through or in connection with this Site or App. This policy DOES NOT apply to information that: (i) We collect offline or on any other Company apps or websites, including websites you may access through the Services; or (ii) You provide to or is collected by any third party.

Please read this policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. By accessing or using the Services, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you are using the Services on behalf of an entity, you are agreeing to this Privacy Policy for that entity and are representing to us that you have the authority to do so (in which case "you" will refer to that entity). If you do not agree with our policies and practices, your choice is not to use the Services.

Changes to the Privacy Policy

This policy may change from time to time. If we make any changes, we will post the changes on this page and indicate at the top of this page the date this policy was last revised. Any such changes are effective immediately when we post them, and apply to all access to and use of the Services thereafter. Your continued use of the Service after the date any such changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the new policy. You are expected to check this page from time to time so you are aware of any changes.

Information We Collect and How We Collect Information

The information we collect from you falls into two categories: personally identifiable information ("Personal Information") and non-personally identifiable information (i.e., information that cannot be used to identify who you are) ("Non-Personal Information"). By default, Personal Information and Fitness Data are stored locally on your iPhone/iPad/Android Device ("Device"). No Personal Information or Fitness Data is sent to our servers or stored in our servers at any point or is shared with third parties not specified in this Privacy Policy. You may also opt to store Fitness Data with Apple’s Health App Database (see relevant sections below). Below are the various ways in which we may collect Personal Information and Non-Personal information from you.

Information We Automatically Collect Using Various Web Technologies. Like most Sites and Apps, our Services may incorporate technology such as "pixel tags", "web beacons", and "cookies" that allow us to track the actions of users of our Services automatically. Pixel tags or web beacons are tracking devices on websites can monitor the behavior of the user visiting the website, and cookies are small files that web servers may place on your computer when you visit a website. Services such as Yahoo’s Flurry, Google’s Fabric, Firebase, Amazon Web Services, and Big Query capture application analytics using a non-personal identifier (UUID). These automatic tracking tools allow us to collect Non-Personal Information, such as location information, information about your internet connection, browser information, information about when you access the Services, the website address that linked you to our Site, the website that you visit after using our Services, and details of how you used our Services, such as how often the Services are used and which features of the Services are used. This data is never linked to your Personal Information or Fitness Data, and we do not use it to identify you personally.

Third Party Analytics. The Site and App use Google Analytics, AdWords and AdSense ("Google Services") to collect data about our Site traffic via advertising cookies and anonymous identifiers and about user acquisition and engagement with our App. Google may serve ads across other websites that you visit based upon your past visits to our Site, and may also serve our advertisements on other websites. We do not facilitate the merging of Personal Information with non-personally identifiable information previously collected through these Google Services. Any data collected will be used in accordance with this privacy policy and Google’s privacy policy. For more information on how Google Analytics processes this information, visit www.google.com/analytics.

Mobile Analytics. If you are using our App, we use Mobile Device IDs, instead of cookies, to recognize you. We use the Mobile Device IDs and other mobile analytics software to allow us to better understand the functionality of our mobile software on your phone. These Mobile Device IDs are only tracking and collecting Non-Personal Information. The software may record information such as how often you use the Services, the events that occur within the App, aggregated usage, performance data, and where the App was downloaded from.

Information You Voluntarily Provide to Us. If you contact us by phone, email, instant message, live chat, social media, or by some other means, we may keep a record of your contact information (however, we do not automatically collect email addresses) and the correspondence for later reference to help improve our Services. We may also keep a record of any forms, surveys or questionnaires that you voluntarily fill out on our Site or through your use of the Services.

Fitness Data; Apple Health App or Google Fit Integration. Fitness Data ("Fitness Data") includes specific details of the meditations you perform. We will treat your Fitness Data and Personal Information as confidential. We will not share your Personal Information or Fitness Data with third parties not specified in this Privacy Policy.

You may opt to integrate the App with Apple’s Healthkit or Google Fit and therefore, instruct us to share certain information with these systems. If you grant Meditation Studio access to Apple’s Healthcare App Database or Google Fit, Meditation Studio will import your data from the Health App Database or Google Fit into the App in certain circumstances, such as to aid you in the tracking of fitness goals. In addition, Mediation Studio may transfer data that you store locally on your Device, such as meditations completed, to the Health App Database or Google Fit. Meditation Studio cannot read from or write to the Health App Database or Google Fit unless you grant access. Data accessed from the Health App Database and Google Fit will not be shared with third parties not specified in this Privacy Policy.

Meditation Studio is in no way responsible for the protection of the Fitness Data and/or other information stored or transferred to the Apple’s Health App Database and Google Fit. You and Apple or Google are solely responsible for the protection of such information in the respective databases. Please review Apple’s and Google’s applicable policies and procedures before syncing and backing up your Fitness Data with their systems.

Third Party Services. Some parts of our Services can be linked up with other accounts you have, such as your Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or Google+ account ("Third Party Account"). If you link or share information to Third Party Accounts from our Services, we may collect some information about your use of the Third Party Account. We will only be able to collect the information if you’ve authorized the Third Party Account to provide us with that information or if you’ve made the information public. Additionally, if you mention us through your Third Party Account, we may collect information and content related to your comment that is publicly available. If you wish to limit the information available to us, you should be sure to manage the privacy settings of your Third Party Account. One thing we won’t ever store is your Third Party Account password. If you link your account on the Services with a Third Party Account, we may also collect and store publicly available information about your contacts and friends from the linked Third Party Account. This information may include their photo, name, email address, birthday, interests or other content you can see when you access such profiles on those Third Party Services. We may also collect and store information if you invite other users to the Services by providing us with their Personal Information.

Meditation Studio will never automatically share information to any Third Party Account without your consent. Meditation Studio is in no way responsible for the protection of any information that you choose to share with Third Party Accounts. You and such accounts are solely responsible for the protection of such information. Please review any applicable policies and procedures of such accounts before sharing your information.
