This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our yoga teaching hours tracking application.

Messages You Send Us

If you contact us through the app or our website contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message so we can respond.

App Usage Analytics

The mobile app records usage events — such as screens viewed and features used — together with your account identifier, the app version, and your platform (iOS or Android). This analytics data is first-party: it is stored in our own database, is never sold, and is not shared with advertising networks. We use it to understand which features help teachers and to improve the app. It is retained under the same rules, and deleted on the same schedule, as the rest of your account data.

Notification Preference

If you enable session reminders in the mobile app, we record whether notifications are enabled for your account. Reminders are scheduled locally on your device; we do not operate a push-notification service.

Automatically Collected Information (Website)

We automatically collect certain information when you use our website:

  • Device information (browser type, operating system)
  • Usage data (pages visited, features used, time spent)
  • IP address (for security and analytics purposes)
  • Cookies and similar tracking technologies

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve our services
  • Process your transactions and manage your account
  • Calculate and display your teaching hours totals and progress
  • Send you transactional emails about your account (security, billing, legal notices) and, where you have not opted out, engagement emails with reminders, progress updates, and product announcements
  • Respond to your inquiries and provide customer support
  • Analyze usage patterns to improve user experience
  • Detect, prevent, and address technical issues and security threats
  • Comply with legal obligations

Email Communications

We send two categories of email:

Transactional Emails

Transactional emails are required for the operation of your account. These include account verification, password resets, security alerts, billing and subscription notifications, legal notices, and responses to your support inquiries. You cannot opt out of transactional emails while you maintain an active account, as they are necessary for providing the Service.

Engagement and Marketing Emails

Engagement emails include reminders to log activity, updates about your progress toward training goals, tips for using the app, new feature announcements, and occasional promotional offers. You can opt out of these communications at any time by:

  • Clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any engagement email
  • Updating your email preferences in your account settings
  • Contacting us through our contact form

Opting out of engagement emails will not affect your receipt of transactional emails.

Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored securely using Supabase, a cloud database service that implements industry-standard security measures including:

  • Encryption at rest and in transit
  • Row-level security policies
  • Regular security audits and monitoring
  • Access controls and authentication

We implement additional security measures including secure password hashing, HTTPS encryption, and regular security updates. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may collect information:

Supabase

We use Supabase for authentication and database services. Your account and hours data are stored on Supabase's secure servers in the United States. View their privacy policy at https://supabase.com/privacy.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website (not the mobile app). Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to visiting. Google's ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics is restricted by the Google Privacy Policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Plausible Analytics

We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-friendly analytics service that does not use cookies and does not collect personal data. View their privacy policy at https://plausible.io/privacy.

RevenueCat (Mobile App)

Our mobile app uses RevenueCat to manage in-app subscriptions and purchases. RevenueCat collects information about your subscription status, purchase history, and device identifiers to enable subscription features. View their privacy policy at https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy.

Apple Sign In

Our mobile app offers Sign in with Apple as an authentication option. When you use Sign in with Apple, Apple may share your name and email address with us (or a private relay email if you choose). Apple's use of your information is governed by their Privacy Policy.

Google OAuth

We offer Google as a sign-in option. When you sign in with Google, we receive your email address and name from Google. Google's use of your information is governed by their Privacy Policy.

The mobile app does not use third-party analytics or advertising SDKs. App usage analytics are first-party, as described above.

Subscription and Payment Information

If you subscribe to our premium service through the mobile app, your payment is processed by Apple or Google through their respective app stores. We do not collect or store your payment card information. We receive information about your subscription status (active, expired, cancelled) through RevenueCat to enable premium features.

The information we collect about subscriptions includes:

  • Subscription status and tier
  • Subscription start and expiration dates
  • Purchase platform (iOS or Android)
  • Anonymous purchase identifiers

We do not collect credit card numbers, billing addresses, or other payment details. All payment processing is handled securely by Apple and Google.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our service and hold certain information. Cookies are files with a small amount of data that may include an anonymous unique identifier. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our service.

We use session cookies to maintain your login state and authentication cookies to keep you signed in. These are essential for the service to function properly.

Your Rights and Choices

You have the following rights regarding your personal information, wherever you live:

  • Access: You can access and download your data at any time through your account settings
  • Correction: You can update your account information, including name and email, through your settings
  • Deletion: You can delete your account and all associated data at any time from your settings, or by contacting us
  • Export (portability): You can export your hours data as a CSV file
  • Email opt-out: You can opt out of engagement emails as described above

For Users in the European Economic Area and United Kingdom

If you are in the EEA or UK, we process your personal data under the following legal bases:

  • Performance of a contract: your account data and the hours, programs, flows, and schedules you record — processing them is the service itself
  • Legitimate interests: security monitoring and first-party app analytics used to maintain and improve the service
  • Consent: engagement and marketing emails, which you may withdraw at any time
  • Legal obligation: records we must retain by law

In addition to the rights above, you have the right to object to or request restriction of processing based on legitimate interests, and the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority. We will respond to rights requests within one month.

California Privacy Rights

We do not sell or share your personal information as those terms are defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act, and we have not done so in the preceding twelve months. California residents may exercise the access, deletion, and correction rights described above.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal information within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal, regulatory, or security purposes.

Children's Privacy

Our service is not intended for children under the age of 13, or the minimum age required to consent to data processing in your country if higher. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children below these ages. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately so we can delete such information.

International Data Transfers

We are based in the United States and your information is stored and processed there, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country. Where required, transfers of personal data from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland rely on appropriate safeguards, including the Standard Contractual Clauses implemented by our service providers. You may contact us for more information about these safeguards.

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 and updating the "Last updated" date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
