Privacy Policy

Effective Date: February 20, 2026

This Privacy Policy applies to the Aura HZ mobile application (the "App") developed by Auraluxe Dev. This policy explains how we handle your data and outlines our commitment to your privacy.

By downloading, installing, and using the App, you explicitly agree to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy.

1. Data Collection & Usage (Google Play Data Safety)

Aura HZ is built upon a strict "Privacy by Design" architecture. To provide total transparency regarding the Google Play Data Safety requirements:

A. Personal Data

We do not collect, store, transmit, or share any Personally Identifiable Information (PII). This includes, but is not limited to:

B. Device & Usage Data

The App operates as a self-contained, offline-first utility. We do not collect:

C. Health & Wellness Data

Aura HZ includes features related to wellness, such as breathing exercises and session tracking (e.g., minutes meditated, daily streaks). We do not collect, transmit, or share any of your personal health or wellness data with our servers or any third parties. All wellness data, including your session history, duration, and breathing preferences, is stored locally on your device and is used solely to provide you with gamification and tracking features within the App. If you uninstall the App or clear its storage, this local history is permanently erased.

2. Internet & Network Access

While Aura HZ functions primarily offline, it requests network access permissions for critical, non-data-collecting security functions:

Zero user content, preferences, or personal data is transmitted during these security verifications.

3. Local Data Storage & Encryption

All user-generated content and configurations are stored locally on your device within the App's isolated and encrypted sandbox (`Room Database` and `EncryptedSharedPreferences`).

This local data includes:

Important: Because we do not use cloud servers, uninstalling the App or clearing its storage via Android Settings will permanently and irreversibly delete this data. We cannot recover it for you.

4. Android Permissions Declaration

We request the following device permissions solely to enable core App functionalities:

A. POST_NOTIFICATIONS (Android 13+)

Purpose: Required to display media playback controls in the notification shade and to deliver user-scheduled daily reminders.

B. VIBRATE

Purpose: Used to provide tactile haptic feedback during meditation exercises and UI interactions.

C. FOREGROUND_SERVICE & MEDIA_PLAYBACK

Purpose: Strictly required by the Android OS to generate and play high-fidelity audio frequencies in the background while the device screen is off or while using other applications.

D. SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM

Purpose: Utilized exclusively for the "Daily Reminder" feature to trigger precise local notifications at the time chosen by the user.

5. Children’s Privacy

The App does not address or target anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children. Because the App functions entirely offline and lacks chat, social sharing, or data harvesting features, it is inherently safe for general audiences of all ages.

6. Zero Third-Party Tracking

Aura HZ contains zero third-party SDKs for:

This guarantees that your usage habits remain entirely private and are never tracked or monetized by external entities.

7. Security

We value your trust in our application. We protect your local data by utilizing Android's Bank-Grade `EncryptedSharedPreferences` and secure data vaults. However, please be aware that no method of electronic storage on a physical device is 100% immune to unauthorized access if the device itself is compromised or "rooted."

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to update or modify our Privacy Policy at any time. You are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. We will notify you of any updates by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.

These changes are effective immediately after they are published.

9. Contact Us

If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions regarding our Privacy Policy, please do not hesitate to contact us.
