Privacy Policy

Zen Bell Last updated: July 17, 2026

Overview

Zen Bell (“the App”) is developed by Khanh Mai. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

Data We Collect

Data Stored on Your Device

  • Mindfulness observations (journal entries you write)
  • Bell schedule settings (times, intervals, sound preferences)
  • Bell acknowledgment history (for streak and statistics tracking)
  • App preferences (language, appearance, notification settings)

This data is stored locally on your device using an encrypted database. It is never shared with third parties.

Data Collected for App Functionality

  • Email Address & User ID — If you sign in with Apple or Google, we store your email address and an anonymous user identifier to authenticate your account and enable optional cloud sync between your devices.
  • Purchase history — We verify your subscription status through Apple’s StoreKit and RevenueCat to unlock premium features. Purchase data stays with Apple and RevenueCat; we only receive entitlement status.

Optional Cloud Sync (Premium Feature)

If you enable cloud sync, your observations, settings, and acknowledgments are encrypted and stored on Supabase (our cloud provider). Data is encrypted before leaving your device. You can delete all cloud data at any time from Settings > Account > Delete Account.

Analytics

We use TelemetryDeck for pseudonymous, aggregated usage analytics. “Pseudonymous” means signals carry a one-way hashed identifier so we can count distinct users — we cannot reverse it to identify you. TelemetryDeck is a privacy-first analytics service that:

  • Does not use cookies or device fingerprinting
  • Does not collect personally identifiable information (PII)
  • Does not track users across apps or websites
  • Does not share data with advertisers or data brokers
  • Collects only usage patterns (e.g., which screens are viewed, feature usage counts)

What is collected: in-app events such as screen views, feature usage counts, bell schedule shape (interval and window — never journal content), purchase funnel outcomes (success/cancel/failure category — never payment details), plus automatic session signals sent by the TelemetryDeck SDK itself (app launch, session start, app version, OS version, device model class, language).

Analytics is on by default and disclosed here. You can turn it off at any time in Settings › Privacy › Usage Analytics. Turning it off takes effect immediately: custom events stop instantly and the analytics SDK is shut down, so its automatic session signals stop too. While analytics is off, the SDK is never started on later launches.

Retention: analytics signals are retained by TelemetryDeck in aggregated form; raw signals age out per TelemetryDeck’s privacy policy. We store your consent choice (on/off, version, timestamp) only on your device.

Google Analytics (Firebase). We also use Google Analytics for Firebase (GA4) as a second analytics service, running in parallel with TelemetryDeck under the same on/off switch. Firebase Analytics collects a pseudonymous app-instance identifier — a random, app-scoped ID that is reset when you reinstall the app; it is not your advertising identifier (IDFA) and is not used to track you across apps or websites — together with the same in-app usage events described above, and sends them to Google acting as our data processor. It is configured without advertising-identifier (IDFA) support and without Google “signals,” so no App Tracking Transparency prompt is shown. Because analytics is on by default, Google receives data from your first launch unless you turn analytics off; the same Settings › Privacy › Usage Analytics switch stops Google Analytics collection too. Data is handled per Google’s Analytics data-retention controls and Firebase’s privacy and security terms.

We do not use Apple’s App Tracking Transparency (ATT) because we do not track users across apps or websites.

Data We Do NOT Collect

  • Advertising identifier (IDFA) or ad-tracking data
  • Location data
  • Contacts, photos, or other personal data
  • Cross-app or cross-site tracking data

(Note: our analytics services use pseudonymous, non-advertising identifiers — a hashed TelemetryDeck signal id and a Firebase app-instance id — as described in the Analytics section. These are not linked to your identity and are not used for tracking.)

Your Rights

  • Delete your data: Go to Settings > Account > Delete Account to remove all cloud data and your account.
  • Export your data: Premium users can export all observations from Settings.
  • Opt out of sync: Cloud sync is optional and only available to premium subscribers who sign in.
  • Opt out of analytics: Turn off Settings › Privacy › Usage Analytics. All analytics — including the SDK’s automatic session signals — stop immediately.

Children’s Privacy

The App does not knowingly collect data from children under 13.
