Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 8, 2026
At Decel, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our mobile application. Decel is designed with privacy at its core — no account required, no data sold, and your wellbeing stays between you and the app.
1. Information We Collect
Minimal Data Collection
Decel is built to function with minimal data collection. We only collect information that is necessary for the app to work properly:
- Usage data (how often you use features, which features you use)
- App performance data (crashes, errors, technical issues)
- Basic device information (for compatibility and optimization)
No Personal Information Required
We do not require you to create an account, provide your name, email address, phone number, or any other personal identifying information to use Decel. The app works anonymously from the moment you download it.
2. How We Use Your Information
The limited data we collect is used solely for:
- Improving app performance and stability
- Understanding which features help users most
- Fixing bugs and technical issues
- Ensuring the app works correctly on your device
3. Data Storage and Security
Local Storage
Most of your data is stored locally on your device. This includes your breathing exercises, grounding practice history, and any progress tracking information. This data never leaves your device unless you choose to back it up.
Encryption
Any data that is transmitted from your device to our servers is encrypted using industry-standard encryption protocols. We maintain strict security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access.
4. Third-Party Services
AI Voice Companion
When you use the AI voice companion, your voice input (if you choose to speak) is processed by our AI service provider. We use reputable, privacy-focused providers who do not store your voice recordings for training purposes beyond the immediate processing of your request.
Analytics
We may use anonymous analytics services to understand how the app is used at an aggregate level. This helps us improve Decel without identifying individual users.
5. Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share data only in the following limited circumstances:
- With your consent: If you explicitly opt-in to share data for research purposes
- For legal requirements: To comply with applicable laws, regulations, or legal processes
- Service providers: With trusted third parties who perform services on our behalf (with strict confidentiality requirements)
6. Your Rights and Choices
Because Decel doesn't require an account, we don't have a traditional "delete account" process. However, you have the right to:
- Delete the app and all local data from your device at any time
- Disable analytics or tracking features in your device settings
- Opt out of data collection by using the app offline (core features work without internet)
- Contact us to request information about any data we may have associated with your device
7. Children's Privacy
Decel is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.
8. International Data Transfers
Decel is designed for users in South Asia and beyond. Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
