Thank you for using Sona, a binaural beats app designed to help users aged 13 and older relax, focus, and support mindfulness through audio stimulation. Your privacy is important to us. This privacy policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and how we protect your privacy when using the Sona app.

1. Information We Collect

Sona does not collect personally identifiable information such as names, email addresses, or contact details. We do collect the following types of data:

Account and Subscription Data:

• Anonymous user identifier
• Subscription status and purchase history
• Onboarding responses and wellness goals you select

Usage Data:

• App interactions, sessions started, session durations, audio tracks or features used
• Device type, operating system version, and crash logs (if applicable)

Identifiers for Advertising and Analytics:

• Device advertising identifier (IDFA) – only when you grant tracking permission
• Device identifiers for analytics purposes
• App usage patterns

These identifiers cannot be used to determine your real-world identity, but they allow us to measure advertising effectiveness and improve the app experience.

2. How We Use Collected Data

We use the data we collect to:

• Manage your subscription and in-app purchases
• Diagnose and resolve bugs or technical issues
• Analyze usage trends to guide future improvements
• Measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns
• Personalize your experience based on your selected wellness goals

3. App Tracking Transparency

Sona requests permission to track your activity across apps and websites owned by other companies through Apple’s App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework.

When you grant tracking permission, we use your device’s advertising identifier to:

• Optimize our advertising campaigns to reach users who may benefit from Sona

You can control tracking permission at any time through:

• The prompt shown when you first use Sona, or
• iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking > Sona

4. Third-Party Services

We work with trusted third-party service providers to operate our app and improve your experience:

Analytics and Performance Monitoring: We use analytics services to understand how users interact with Sona and identify areas for improvement.

Advertising Measurement: We use advertising measurement services to understand which marketing campaigns are effective and how users discover Sona. When you grant tracking permission, these services may link data from Sona with data from other apps to measure ad performance.

Subscription Management: We use a subscription management service to process in-app purchases and manage your subscription status.

Cloud Services: We use cloud infrastructure to securely store app data and user authentication.

These third-party services operate under their own privacy policies and may use the data they collect in accordance with their terms.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

Sona does not sell, rent, or trade your data. We share pseudonymous data with the third-party services described above solely to:

• Measure advertising effectiveness
• Analyze app performance and usage
• Manage subscriptions
• Improve app functionality

We may also disclose data when required to comply with legal obligations or to protect our rights and safety.

6. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational security measures to protect the data we collect. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute data security.

7. Data Retention

We retain usage data and identifiers for as long as necessary to provide app services, measure advertising effectiveness, and comply with legal obligations. Subscription data is retained in accordance with applicable financial record-keeping requirements.

8. Children’s Privacy

Sona is intended for users aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. As we do not collect personally identifiable information, the app complies with applicable child privacy laws such as COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act) and similar regulations worldwide.

Parents and guardians are encouraged to supervise usage and help younger users engage with the app mindfully and safely.

9. Your Rights and Choices

Tracking Permission: You can enable or disable tracking at any time through iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking.

Opt-Out: You may discontinue use of the app at any time, and you can adjust device-level analytics permissions in your iOS settings.

10. International Data Transfers

Your data may be processed and stored in countries outside of your residence. We take appropriate measures to ensure your data receives adequate protection in accordance with this privacy policy and applicable laws.
