1. Introduction
Welcome to Mindful Sips. This privacy policy explains how your personal information is handled when you use our application. Your privacy is critically important to us.
The most important thing to know is that all data you enter into the Mindful Sips app is stored exclusively on your own device. We do not have a server, and we do not collect, see, or store any of your personal data.
2. Data Storage and Collection
Mindful Sips uses your browser's local storage feature to save your data. This means the information you provide is stored only in the browser on the device you are using. It is not transmitted to any external server or service.
The data we store locally on your device includes:
- Daily Logs: Your daily entries regarding alcohol consumption (e.g., "Alcohol-Free", "Mindful", "Over-indulged").
- Thoughts: Any optional notes or thoughts you record for a specific day.
- Weekly Goal: Your personal goal for the number of alcohol-free days per week.
- My Reasons: The reasons you enter for practicing mindful drinking.
- Settings: Preferences like "Focus on Today" mode.
This data is essential for the app to function as a personal tracker. Since it never leaves your device, you have full control over it.
3. Your Control Over Your Data
You have complete control over your data. You can view, edit, and delete your information at any time directly within the app using the "Data Management" section. Clearing your browser's cache or storage for this application will also permanently delete all your data.
4. Third-Party Links
The app includes a "Support the developer" button, which is an external link to PayPal.me. This privacy policy does not apply to third-party websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of PayPal or any other external site you visit.
5. Children's Privacy
This application is not intended for use by children under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information.
6. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
7. Contact Us
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, you can contact us. However, please note that we cannot access, manage, or delete your data as it is stored only on your device.
