This notice is provided separately from our main Privacy Policy, as required by consumer health data laws in certain US states, including Washington's My Health My Data Act, Nevada's consumer health data law, and Connecticut's Data Privacy Act. It applies only to “consumer health data” as defined under those laws, and it supplements, but does not replace, our main Privacy Policy (see Settings → About → Privacy policy).

2. What is “consumer health data”
Consumer health data generally means personal information that is linked, or reasonably linkable, to you and that identifies your past, present, or future physical or mental health status, including certain inferences drawn from other data. In the App, this can include:
- journal entries you write;
- onboarding questionnaire answers relating to your wellbeing, meditation experience, and goals;
- mood and emotion labels you select in the App;
- the free-text emotional context you provide to generate an AI meditation, and your AI coach conversation content;
- course, challenge, and session activity where it reflects your wellbeing (for example, completion of a specific mental-health-related course).
Your daily mood check-in selection and meditation streaks/history are stored only on your device and are not sent to us, so they are not collected by us as described in this notice.
3. How we collect consumer health data
We collect this information directly from you, when you choose to write a journal entry, answer onboarding questions, select a mood label that is saved to your account, or describe how you feel to the AI coach or meditation generator.
4. Why we collect and use it
- To provide and personalise the Services, including generating AI-guided meditations and coach replies.
- To let you review your own journal entries, course progress, and reviews within the App.
- To respond to your support requests and feedback.
5. Who we share it with
We share consumer health data only with the service providers needed to run the Services:
- OpenAI — receives AI coach and meditation free-text; for generating AI responses and scripts.
- Our hosting / backend provider — receives journal entries, onboarding answers, and mood labels; for running the service and database.
We do not sell consumer health data, and we do not share it with anyone for advertising purposes.
6. Your rights
- Right to confirm whether we process your consumer health data, and to access it.
- Right to withdraw your consent to our collection or sharing of it, at any time.
- Right to have your consumer health data deleted.
We will respond to a verified request within 45 days, or within 45 days plus a permitted extension where allowed by law, free of charge for a reasonable number of requests per year.

8. Right to appeal
If we decline your request, you may appeal by replying to our decision email. If your appeal is also denied, you may contact the Attorney General's office in your state of residence.
9. Geofencing
We do not use geofencing technology around any in-person healthcare facility to identify or track consumers seeking healthcare services, or to send them notifications or advertisements.
10. Data security
We describe how we secure your information, including the current limitations of our security measures, in our main Privacy Policy.

We may update this notice from time to time. Material changes will be reflected in the “Effective date” above.
