Privacy Policy

Breath Cycle is designed to work without an account, advertising, third-party analytics, or a developer-operated backend.

Who provides Breath Cycle

Breath Cycle is developed and provided by Domenico Marco Di Donna. Questions about this policy may be sent to domenico.dd@gmail.com.

Local app data

Preferences, breathing sessions, optional reflections, calibration results, custom patterns, and plan progress are stored on your device. Breath Cycle uses this information on-device to provide history, restore your choices, and generate deterministic recommendations.

Breath Cycle 1.0 does not use third-party analytics, advertising SDKs, remote configuration, a developer-operated backend, or anonymous aggregate uploads.

Optional private iCloud backup

Breath Cycle Pro can back up supported app records to your Apple iCloud private database. Backup is off by default, starts only after you explicitly enable it, and is not enabled automatically when you subscribe.

Private-database records are associated with your Apple Account and are not shared with other Breath Cycle users. You can disable backup, restore supported records on another device using the same Apple Account, or request deletion of the cloud backup from within the app. If Pro expires, local data remains available and cloud uploads pause.

Subscriptions

Breath Cycle Pro subscriptions are processed by Apple through StoreKit. Apple handles payment and transaction-account information under Apple’s privacy policy. Breath Cycle checks Apple-signed subscription status on the device to provide Pro access and respond to expiration, refunds, revocation, billing retry, or grace-period status. The developer does not receive your full payment-card details.

Performance diagnostics

The optional Performance Test measures frame timing, renderer failures, Low Power Mode, and thermal state on the device. Results stay in local app preferences and are not sent to the developer.

Your privacy choices, export and deletion

You can export supported local records in JSON and CSV formats and delete local app history from Breath Cycle Settings. Deleting local data does not automatically delete an existing iCloud backup unless you also choose the separate cloud-backup deletion action.

You can keep private iCloud backup off, disable it after enabling it, and delete supported backup records from within the app. Deleting the app removes its local data subject to iOS backup and restore behavior.

Support communications

If you email support, the developer receives your email address and any information you choose to include. It is used only to answer your request and is retained only as long as reasonably necessary for support and legal obligations. You may request deletion by emailing domenico.dd@gmail.com.

Children

Breath Cycle is a general wellness utility and is not directed to children under 13. The app does not knowingly collect children’s personal data.

International use

Local app data remains on your device unless you enable private iCloud backup. Apple may process StoreKit and iCloud information in accordance with its own services, terms, and privacy policy.

Changes to this policy

If app behavior changes, such as adding analytics, an account system, a developer-operated backend, or aggregate uploads, this policy and the App Store privacy disclosure will be updated before that behavior is released. The effective date above will also be revised.
