Privacy Policy
Respira helps you quit smoking and vaping. This policy explains what personal information the Respira app ("Respira", "we", "us") collects, why we collect it, who we share it with, and the choices and rights you have. We keep data collection to what the app genuinely needs — and we do not track you across other companies' apps or websites, and we do not sell your personal information.
1. Who we are
Respira is the data controller for the personal information described in this policy. If you have questions or requests, contact us at support@respira.co.in.
2. Information we collect
We collect the following categories of information, only as needed to provide the app:
| Data | Why we collect it |
|---|---|
| Account details — name, email address, and a unique user ID | To create and secure your account, sign you in, and sync your progress across your devices. |
| Sign-in identifiers — from Sign in with Apple or Google Sign-In, if you choose them | To let you sign in without a separate password. We receive your name and email (or Apple's private relay email); we never receive your Apple or Google password. |
| Quit & wellness content you create — craving logs, journal entries, cigarette/vape tracking, milestones, and notes | To power your quit journey, streaks, healing timeline, and personalized support. This is the core of the app. |
| Health data — heart rate and heart-rate variability, only if you connect Apple Health | To show recovery and relaxation insights. This is optional, read-only, and used only inside the app. We do not use Health data for advertising and do not share it with third parties. |
| Purchase information — subscription status and transaction identifiers | To provide and restore your Respira subscription. Payment is processed by Apple; we never see your card details. |
| Diagnostics & usage — crash reports, device/app version, and in-app events | To fix bugs, keep the app stable, and understand which features help people quit. |
We do not collect your precise location, your contacts, or advertising identifiers, and Respira does not use tracking (App Tracking Transparency) or third-party advertising SDKs.
3. How your health data is handled
If you connect Apple Health, Respira reads heart-rate and heart-rate-variability data on your device to display recovery insights. Health data is processed for that purpose only. It is not sold, not used for marketing, and not shared with third parties. You can disconnect Apple Health at any time in your device's Settings > Health > Data Access, and you can revoke access without deleting your Respira account.
4. Service providers we use
We share limited data with vetted providers who process it on our behalf, under contract, solely to run the app:
- Apple — App Store subscriptions and payments; Sign in with Apple.
- Google — Google Sign-In, if you choose it.
- RevenueCat — manages and validates your subscription entitlement.
- Sentry — crash and error diagnostics to keep the app stable.
These providers act as our processors. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
5. Legal bases (EEA/UK users)
Where GDPR/UK GDPR applies, we process your data to perform our contract with you (providing the app and your account), based on your consent (optional Apple Health access), for our legitimate interests (keeping the app secure and stable and improving it), and to comply with legal obligations.
6. How long we keep your data
We keep your account and quit data for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account, we remove your personal data from our active systems within 30 days, except information we are legally required to retain (for example, transaction records). Anonymized or aggregated data that can no longer identify you may be retained for analytics.
7. Your rights & choices
- Delete your account and data — in the app, open Profile > Privacy & Security > Delete Account, or email us at support@respira.co.in. We complete deletion within 30 days.
- Access, correct, export, or restrict your data — contact us and we will respond as required by applicable law.
- Withdraw consent — disconnect Apple Health or notifications at any time in your device settings.
Depending on where you live (for example, the EEA/UK or California), you may have additional rights, including the right to lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority.
8. Children
Respira is intended for adults (18+) and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we will delete it.
9. Data security & transfers
We use encryption in transit and access controls to protect your data. Our providers may process data in countries other than yours; where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) for international transfers.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. If a change is material, we will update the date above and, where appropriate, notify you in the app.
