Privacy Policy
Last updated:
The short version. SoMana is built on a privacy-first model. Your health data, reflections, and pattern history live on your iPhone via Apple Health and Apple's secure storage. We don't sell, rent, or share your personal data. We don't use your data for advertising.
Data SoMana reads
With your explicit HealthKit permission, SoMana reads the following from Apple Health:
- Heart rate variability (HRV / SDNN)
- Resting heart rate
- Sleep analysis
- Respiratory rate
You control this access at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Health → SoMana.
Data SoMana stores
The following stays on your device:
- Your reflections, mood, sensations, and journaling entries
- Your Pattern Maps history
- Your Lab Challenge experiments and results
- App preferences and settings
This data is stored in Apple's on-device SwiftData store, which uses the same encryption protections as the rest of your iPhone.
Subscriptions
SoMana subscriptions are processed entirely by Apple via the App Store. We never see your payment information. Subscription receipts are validated through Apple's StoreKit; we receive only an anonymous subscription status.
Analytics & crash reporting
If enabled, SoMana may use Apple's privacy-preserving aggregate analytics to understand app performance. We do not collect personally identifying information for analytics. You can opt out via iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements.
Children
SoMana is not intended for users under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be noted in the app or here on this page.
