ZenOmm — Privacy Policy

Most app data stays on your device. Here’s what stays local, what you can choose to share, and what Google Play handles for purchases.

1. Overview

ZenOmm (“we,” “our,” or “the app”) is a meditation and mindfulness bell timer for Android. It schedules gentle bell reminders throughout the day using Android’s alarm system.

We do not require personal information to use the core app, create user accounts, or run advertising. Most app data is stored locally on your device. Data leaves your device only when:

By using ZenOmm, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

2. Medical Disclaimer

ZenOmm provides bells, mindfulness prompts, soundscapes, daily intentions, and relaxation or sleep-management support for general wellness. It is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition, sleep disorder, clinical anxiety, or other health condition. Please consult a qualified healthcare professional for medical advice.

3. Android Permissions

The app requests the following Android permissions. None of this data is collected, transmitted, or stored by us unless explicitly noted below.

READ_PHONE_STATE
Purpose: Skip bell during active phone calls.
When you receive or make a phone call, the app reads the current call state (active / ringing / idle) to silently skip the bell so it doesn’t interrupt your conversation. The app reads only the call state (a single integer) — it never accesses call logs, contact names, phone numbers, or call duration. This read happens only at the moment a bell is about to play, is never stored, and is never transmitted. If you deny this permission the bell plays normally during calls.
POST_NOTIFICATIONS
Purpose: Display bell reminder and soundscape notifications.
Used for the bell alarm notification (with a Stop action), soundscape playback controls, and onboarding reminders.
SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM & USE_EXACT_ALARM
Purpose: Deliver bells precisely on schedule.
Android 12+ requires explicit permission to schedule exact alarms. Without it, bells may be delayed by several minutes.
FOREGROUND_SERVICE & FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PLAYBACK
Purpose: Play bell sounds and ambient soundscapes reliably.
A short-lived foreground service plays the bell audio file. A separate foreground service streams ambient soundscapes. Both are visible to you via the notification.
RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED
Purpose: Restore bell alarms after a device restart.
Android cancels all alarms when the device restarts. This permission lets the app reschedule your bells automatically so they resume without manual action.
WAKE_LOCK
Purpose: Briefly wake the CPU to play a bell sound.
Held only for the duration of a single bell playback (typically 1–5 seconds) to prevent the device from sleeping mid-sound.
VIBRATE
Purpose: Haptic feedback when a bell rings.
Produces a brief haptic pulse when a bell rings, if you have enabled vibration for that schedule.
READ_PHONE_STATE and your privacy: Google Play flags this permission because it can be misused to fingerprint devices. In ZenOmm it is used exclusively to check call state at bell-play time. The value is discarded immediately afterward. No call metadata is ever accessed or stored.

4. Local Data Storage

The following data is stored only on your device using Android SharedPreferences and internal app storage. It is never transmitted to any server by the app.

If you use the Share feature, the selected preset link, stats card, or milestone image leaves the app and is handed to the app, service, or recipient you choose. Their privacy practices then apply to that shared copy.

Deleting the app removes locally stored app data from your device. It does not delete feedback emails you have already sent or content you have already shared to other apps or services.

5. In-App Feedback Form

The app includes an optional feedback form. If you choose to submit feedback:

The feedback form is entirely voluntary. You are not required to submit any personal information to use the app. Do not include sensitive personal details (e.g., payment information) in feedback messages.

Resend (Email Delivery)

Provider: Resend, Inc.
Purpose: Routing your feedback message, optional contact email, and any diagnostics you choose to include to our support inbox.

6. Google Play Billing

ZenOmm offers a free trial and paid access via Google Play Billing, available as a recurring subscription (monthly / annual) or a one-time lifetime purchase. All payment processing is handled entirely by Google Play.

We never process or store your card number or full payment details. The app receives billing status data from Google Play, such as purchase tokens, product identifiers, entitlement state, and renewal or expiry information needed to unlock paid features.

For information on how Google Play handles payment and billing data, see: Google Payments Privacy Notice.

7. Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

Because ZenOmm stores most app data locally on your device and does not require accounts, many privacy requests can be handled directly on your device.

GDPR (European / UK / Swiss Users)

You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing of, and port your data. Since the app stores no personal data on our servers, exercising these rights is as simple as deleting the app or clearing app data on your device.

For feedback data that was submitted and delivered by email, contact us at support@zenomm.com to request deletion.

CCPA (California Users)

ZenOmm does not sell personal information. Other than apps or services you deliberately choose when using the Android Share sheet, the only service providers used by the app are Google Play Billing (purchase verification) and Resend (feedback routing). Neither constitutes a “sale” under CCPA.

How to Exercise Your Rights

8. Children’s Privacy

ZenOmm is strictly targeted to adults and is not directed to children or minors under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you are under 18, do not use the app or submit feedback. If you believe a minor has submitted personal information through the feedback form, please contact us immediately at support@zenomm.com and we will delete it.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in app features or legal requirements. The “Last updated” date at the top will be revised. Continued use of the app after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
