Luaneia (“we”, “us”, “the app”) is a mindful-breaks app developed by an independent developer based in Portugal. We built Luaneia with privacy as a first-class concern: the app does not require an account, does not sell your data, and works fully offline for its core functionality.
This policy explains what data Luaneia processes, why, and the choices you have.
1. What we collect
1.1 On your device (never leaves it, unless you enable iCloud sync)
- Break history and streaks — timestamps of completed breaks, counts by type (eye/stretch/breathing), current and best streaks. Stored locally in the app’s UserDefaults and, if you use iCloud on your Apple ID, mirrored via Apple’s iCloud Key-Value Store to your other Apple devices. We never see this data.
- Your preferences — theme, language, sound and haptics settings, streak goal, reminder schedule, HealthKit toggle. Stored locally.
1.2 Optional integrations you explicitly enable
- Apple Health (HealthKit) — if you enable “Record to Apple Health”, each completed break is written to your Apple Health app as a Mindful Minutes session. The data lives entirely inside Apple Health under your control. We never read from Apple Health and never receive its contents.
- Notifications — reminders are scheduled locally on your device. No push server is used. We do not receive information about which notifications you dismiss.
1.3 Anonymous usage data (only if you consent)
During onboarding you are asked whether Luaneia may collect anonymous usage data. You can change this decision anytime in Settings → Advanced → Privacy. If you consent, we collect:
- Firebase Analytics (Google) — anonymous usage insights. We never attach your name, email, or other personal identifiers; Firebase generates an app-instance identifier that is not linked to you personally and can be reset by reinstalling the app. IDFA (advertising identifier) is not collected — the Google IDFA module is not included in the app. In concrete terms, Firebase processes:
- Interaction events — named events such as “break started”, “break completed”, “break snoozed”, “break skipped”, “focus session started”, “focus session ended”, “streak goal reached”, “first break completed”, “stats viewed”, “theme changed”, “language changed”, “onboarding completed”, “daily reminder toggled”, “daily reminder interval changed”, “smart reminders toggled”, “auto-start toggled”, and similar lightweight signals we may add as the app evolves. Each event carries only the counters needed to interpret it — no content, no notes.
- Screen views — Firebase automatically logs which screen is on top (e.g. “Home”, “Settings → Themes”) so we can see where time is spent. No scroll content, no form input.
- User properties — coarse segmentation attributes attached to your anonymous app instance: preferred theme, preferred language, streak bucket (one of “0”, “1-7”, “8-30”, “31-100”, “100+”), and whether Apple Health recording is enabled. These are buckets, not raw values, and never contain personal data.
- Automatic technical data — standard for any analytics SDK: approximate country (derived from IP), device model, iOS version, app version, and session start / end events.
- Firebase Crashlytics (Google) — crash reports with technical stack traces, iOS version, device model. Used solely to fix bugs.
Both categories can be turned off in the app; when off, no data is sent to Google.
1.4 If you contact us
If you use “Contact developer” in the app, your default mail client opens a pre-filled email to hello@luaneia.com. The body includes diagnostic info (app version, iOS version, language) so we can help you. This email is sent by you, from your own mail client — Luaneia does not send it, and does not retain a copy of what you write.
2. What we do NOT collect
- No account, no name, no login
- No email address (unless you write to us)
- No advertising identifier (IDFA)
- No access to Location Services (GPS), contacts, photos, microphone, or camera
- No web browsing history
- No content of your text, notes, or files
- No data is sold or shared for advertising
3. Third-party services
| Service | Purpose | Data shared | Provider policy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apple iCloud Key-Value Store | Sync your stats between your own Apple devices | Break history, preferences | apple.com/legal/privacy |
| Apple HealthKit | Store your mindful minutes (opt-in) | Duration of each completed break | Same as above |
| Google Firebase Analytics | Anonymous usage insights (opt-in) | Event names and counts, screen names, app instance ID, user-property buckets, device model, iOS and app version, approximate country | firebase.google.com/policies |
| Google Firebase Crashlytics | Crash diagnostics (opt-in) | Crash stack trace, iOS/device details | Same as above |
We have no other third-party integrations. No analytics beyond Firebase. No advertising SDKs.
4. Your rights (GDPR / EEA users)
Because we operate from Portugal (EU), everything below applies to all users regardless of location.
- Right to opt out of analytics — Settings → Advanced → Privacy → Share anonymous usage data
- Right to delete your data — you can reset all statistics inside the app (Settings → Advanced → Data → Reset statistics), or delete the app itself (removes all local data)
- Right to portability — Settings → Advanced → Export as JSON / CSV
- Right to access, rectification, restriction — write to hello@luaneia.com
- Right to lodge a complaint — you may contact the Data Protection Authority in your country of residence
We aim to reply to any privacy request within 14 days.
5. Data retention
- Local data on your device is retained until you reset statistics or delete the app.
- iCloud data follows your iCloud account settings; you control it in Apple Settings.
- Firebase Analytics data is retained by Google according to their default policy (14 months for user-level data by our settings). Aggregated anonymous data may be retained longer.
- Firebase Crashlytics retains crash reports for 90 days.
6. Children
Luaneia is intended for a general audience and is rated 9+ by Apple (with minor regional variations, e.g. 12+ in Vietnam, A10 in Brazil). We do not direct marketing at children, we do not collect names, emails, or other personal identifiers from anyone, and the only non-local data — anonymous analytics — is strictly opt-in. For these reasons the app has no child-specific obligations under COPPA (United States) or Article 8 of the GDPR.
7. Security
Data on your device is protected by iOS sandboxing and encryption on the device. Data sent to Firebase is transmitted over TLS. We do not store passwords because Luaneia has no login.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy to reflect new features or legal requirements. Material changes will be announced inside the app before they take effect. The “Last Updated” date at the top will always reflect the current version.
9. Contact
Luaneia is built by an independent developer based in Portugal. For any privacy-related questions, opt-out requests, or data-access requests, please write to hello@luaneia.com. We aim to reply within 14 days.
