Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Herely does not ask you to create an account. The App itself does not collect your name, email address, or phone number — the only way we receive any of that is if you choose to send it to us, as described below.

Stored only on your device:

• Which moments you've added to your home screen
• Which moments you've listened to today, and your total Mindful Minutes
• Your settings, such as reminders and ambient sound
• The name or username, and the profile photo, you choose to add, if any

We do not collect precise location data, contacts, photos, or microphone/camera access. If a future feature needs any of these, it will ask for your permission separately and this policy will be updated first.

If you email us, we receive your email address and message, and we use them only to reply to you.

If you use the optional "Help shape this app" feedback form in the App, we receive what you type into it — your selections, any written suggestion, and a name only if you choose to enter one — along with your App version. This is sent to and stored by Formspree, the third-party service we use to collect feedback, and we use it only to read your feedback and improve the App. It is never linked to your Mindful Minutes, listening history, or any other on-device data, and it is not used for advertising or tracking.

Our website, beherely.com, counts visits to its app download link using GoatCounter, so we can see which links people use (for example, a QR code or an Instagram link). It records the page, which link was used and the general device type (iPhone, Android or computer). It does not use cookies, does not store your IP address, does not collect your name or contact details, and is not used for advertising.

2. How We Use Your Information

The information stored on your device is used only to run the App: remembering your moments, your gold marks for the day, and your Mindful Minutes. If you turn on reminders, your phone schedules notifications at the time and frequency you choose. They are created and delivered by your phone, and nothing about them is sent to us.

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. The App does not send your moments, listening history, or settings to us. The one exception is feedback you choose to submit through "Help shape this app," which is sent to and stored by Formspree (see Section 1) so we can read and respond to it; Formspree does not use it for advertising. When you download Herely or subscribe, Apple or Google process that transaction under their own privacy policies, and we do not receive your payment card details. We may disclose information we hold, such as emails or feedback you send us, to legal authorities only if required by law.

4. Data Storage & Security

Herely does not operate a server or cloud backend. Your information, including which moments you've added and your listening history, is stored only on your own device and is never uploaded anywhere. Your device's own encryption (active automatically when your phone has a passcode set) protects this information. Deleting the App, or your data within it, removes it immediately, since no copy exists anywhere else. If Herely later introduces account sync or other features that require storing data on a server, this policy will be updated first to describe exactly what changes.

5. Your Rights

Because almost all of your information stays on your device, you control it: you can delete it at any time by removing the App or clearing its data. If you have emailed us or sent feedback through the App, you can ask us to delete that message, or ask what we hold about you, by writing to the address below.

6. Children's Privacy

Herely is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under this age. If we learn we have collected such information, we will delete it promptly.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the App. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

8. Contact

Questions about this Privacy Policy, or requests to access/delete your data, can be sent to hello@beherely.com.
