Privacy Policy
Still & Renew is a meditation, sleep and reflection app made by Little Horizon Studios LLC (“we”, “us”). This policy explains what information the app and its servers handle, why, and the choices you have. It covers the Still & Renew apps for iPhone and Android and the services behind them.
The short version: you can use Still & Renew without an account. Your progress stays on your phone unless you choose to sign in. We don’t show ads, we don’t sell or share your information for advertising, we don’t track you across other apps or websites, and the app has no analytics SDKs.
Information that stays on your phone
The app keeps these on your device so it can work for you:
- your favorites, playlists and where you left off in a session
- your listening history: which sessions you played, on which days, and for how long, used for your streaks and stats
- your mood check-ins: a 1 to 5 rating for a day
- your settings, such as your reminder time, download preferences and narrator choice
- sessions and sounds you download for offline listening
If you don’t sign in, none of this is sent to us. Deleting the app removes it.
If you sign in (optional)
Signing in lets your favorites, playlists, history, resume points and mood check-ins sync between your devices, and lets your subscription follow you. You can sign in with Apple (on iPhone) or with Google.
- What we receive from Apple or Google: a confirmation that you signed in and an identifier for you that is specific to our app. We don’t ask for your name or email address and we don’t store them.
- What we store: a random account number, that sign-in identifier, a scrambled (hashed) form of each device’s sign-in session, when the account was created and last used, and the data you choose to sync (listed above).
Signing out on a device keeps that device’s data on the phone and stops it syncing.
Subscriptions
You don’t need an account to subscribe. Payments are handled entirely by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play); we never see your card or payment details. We use RevenueCat to manage subscriptions: it receives your purchase receipts from the store, basic details such as your app version and platform, and a random ID for the app on your phone (or your account number if you’re signed in), so the app and our server can check whether your subscription is active. When you play subscriber content, our server asks RevenueCat whether that ID has an active subscription.
Streaming, downloads and our servers
Our server and the audio, artwork and video files are hosted by Cloudflare. Like any internet service, when the app loads the catalog, plays a session or downloads a file, your device’s IP address and basic technical details (such as the type of request) reach Cloudflare. Our server keeps short-lived logs of requests and errors so we can keep the service running and fix problems; we don’t use them to build profiles of anyone.
Videos from our YouTube channel
Some videos in the app play through YouTube’s official embedded player. When you play one, YouTube (Google) receives information about your device and your viewing, as described in Google’s Privacy Policy. Videos that are part of the subscription play from our own servers instead.
Reminders
Daily reminders are scheduled on your phone by the phone itself. We don’t run a notification server and don’t receive your reminder settings.
How we use information
Only to provide the app: to sync your data if you sign in, to check your subscription and unlock subscriber content, to deliver sessions and downloads, and to keep the service secure and working. We don’t use your mood check-ins or history for anything except showing them back to you.
Who we share it with
We don’t sell your information or share it for advertising. It is processed only by the services that make the app work: Apple and Google (sign-in and payments), RevenueCat (subscriptions), Cloudflare (hosting and delivery) and, when you play a YouTube video, YouTube. We may disclose information if the law requires it.
Deleting your account and data
You can delete your account at any time in the app: Profile → Account → Delete account. This permanently deletes your account, its sign-in sessions and everything synced with it from our server, and deletes RevenueCat’s record of your account. If you signed in with Apple, you’ll be asked to confirm with Apple once more, and we then end the app’s Sign in with Apple access. Data on your phone stays until you delete the app.
Deleting your account doesn’t cancel a subscription, because the subscription belongs to your App Store or Google Play account. You can cancel it in your App Store or Google Play subscription settings.
How long we keep it
Account and synced data are kept until you delete your account. Server logs are kept only briefly. Subscription records are kept by RevenueCat and the stores under their own policies, except that we ask RevenueCat to delete your record when you delete your account.
Security
All connections between the app and our servers are encrypted (HTTPS). Sign-in sessions are stored only in a scrambled (hashed) form, and access to our systems is limited.
Children
Still & Renew is not directed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we’ll delete it.
Your choices and rights
You can use the app without an account, sign out at any time, and delete your account and synced data from within the app. Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what information we hold about you, to correct it, or to delete it. Write to us at the address below and we’ll respond.
Changes to this policy
If we change how the app handles information, we’ll update this page and the date at the top before the change takes effect.
