Effective Date: April 11, 2026

Welcome to Auralis • Digital Beads ("we," "our," or "Auralis"). Auralis is designed with a "Privacy-First" philosophy. We believe your focus and meditation progress should remain private and secure.

I. Information We DO NOT Collect

• No Personal Identity: Auralis does not require account registration. We do not collect your name, email, phone number, or contact information for core usage.
• No Raw Audio Retention: While our "Voice Mode" processes acoustic patterns for counting, processing is performed on-device and we do not retain raw voice recordings.

II. Permissions & Technology

• Acoustic Signatures (Microphone): We access the microphone only when Voice Mode is active to support voice-based counting. You can revoke microphone permission at any time in system settings.
• Face ID / Biometrics:
  • iOS: If enabled, Face ID / Touch ID is used solely to unlock the application locally. We do not access your biometric templates; authentication is handled by Apple system security.
  • Android: Biometric unlock is currently not provided.
• Device Identifiers (Ads): We use Google AdMob for monetization.
  • iOS: If you grant permission via App Tracking Transparency (ATT), Google may use IDFA to provide relevant ads.
  • Android: Google may use Advertising ID (AD_ID), subject to your device and Google settings.

III. Data Storage

• Local & iCloud: Your journey records and preferences are stored locally on your device. If iCloud is enabled, data is synced via Apple’s private iCloud containers. We cannot access this data.
• Android Local Storage: On Android, journey records and preferences are stored locally on your device for app functionality.

IV. Anonymous User Feedback

When you voluntarily use our "Feature Request" or "Bug Report" functions, we process the following information to improve the app:

• Feedback Content: The suggestions or bug descriptions you submit.
• Diagnostic Data: Basic device metadata, including device model (e.g., iPhone 15 Pro / Pixel 8), operating system version (e.g., iOS 17.4 / Android 14), and app version.
• No Account Requirement: We do not require account registration for feedback submission.

Feedback data is transmitted over encrypted channels (HTTPS) to our feedback service endpoint for issue analysis and product improvement.
