Privacy Policy for Chillmuse
**Last updated:** December 19, 2025
This Privacy Policy describes how Chillmuse ("we", "us", or "our") protects your privacy when you use our mobile application (the "App"). We are committed to ensuring that your personal information is protected and that we are transparent about our data practices.
## 1. Information We Collect
Chillmuse is designed to be a privacy-first application. We do not require you to create an account, log in, or provide any personal contact information (such as your name, email address, or phone number) to use the App.
### A. Data Stored Locally on Your Device
The App collects and stores the following data locally on your device to provide its core functionality:
* **Usage Statistics:** Data regarding your focus sessions, including total focus time, streaks, and session history.
* **Preferences:** Your app settings, including theme selection, timer duration, sound preferences, and language settings.
* **Audio Configuration:** Custom sound mixes and volume levels you have saved.
**Note:** This data remains on your device and is not transmitted to our servers or any third-party servers. If you uninstall the App or clear its data, this information will be lost unless backed up by your device's operating system (e.g., Google Drive backup).
### B. Financial Information
The App offers premium features via In-App Purchases. All financial transactions are processed directly through **Google Play**.
* We **do not** collect, store, or have access to your credit card information, billing address, or transaction history.
* Google Play handles all payment processing and receipt management. You can review Google's Privacy Policy for more details on how they handle your financial data.
## 2. Permissions and Device Access
To provide its features, the App requests specific permissions. We use these permissions strictly for the purposes described below:
* **Usage Access (PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS):**
* **Purpose:** This permission is used for the "Focus Monitoring" & "App Blocker" features. It allows the App to detect when you open distracting apps during an active focus session.
* **Privacy:** This data is processed **locally** in real-time. We do not store a history of the apps you visit, nor do we send this data to any external server.
* **Do Not Disturb Access (ACCESS_NOTIFICATION_POLICY):**
* **Purpose:** This allows the App to automatically enable "Do Not Disturb" mode on your device when a focus session starts and disable it when the session ends, ensuring you are not interrupted.
* **System Alert Window (SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW):**
* **Purpose:** This allows the App to display a timer overlay or a blocking screen over other apps if you attempt to use them during a strict focus session.
* **Foreground Service & Media Playback:**
* **Purpose:** This is required to keep the timer running and audio playing when you lock your screen or switch to another app.
* **Notifications (POST_NOTIFICATIONS):**
* **Purpose:** To send you alerts when your timer finishes, daily motivational quotes, and reminders you have scheduled. You can disable these at any time in the device settings.
## 3. Third-Party Services
We maintain a strict "no-ads" policy and do not share your data with advertisers. However, we utilize the following essential third-party service:
* **Google Play Services:** Used for:
* Processing In-App Purchases and validating subscription status.
* Providing core Android functionality.
* Google's Privacy Policy: [https://policies.google.com/privacy](https://policies.google.com/privacy)
## 4. Data Security
We implement appropriate security measures to protect the integrity of your data. Since all app data is stored locally on your device, it is protected by the standard security mechanisms of the Android operating system (such as app sandboxing).
## 5. Children's Privacy
Chillmuse does not knowingly collect or solicit personal data from children under the age of 13. The App is safe for all ages, but as we do not collect personal data, we do not specifically target or track children's usage.
## 6. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
