Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2026

Overview

Settle is designed with privacy as a core principle. We believe your meditation practice is personal, and your data should stay that way.

The short version: Your practice data stays on your device. We don't collect it, store it, or sell it.

Data We Don't Collect

We do not collect, store, or transmit:

  • Your meditation session history
  • Your journal entries
  • Your practice plans or settings
  • Personal identification information
  • Location data
  • Contact information

Local Storage

All your practice data (sessions, journal entries, settings, plans) is stored locally in your browser using localStorage. This data:

  • Never leaves your device
  • Is not transmitted to our servers
  • Is not accessible to us
  • Will be lost if you clear your browser data

We recommend using the Export feature regularly if you want to preserve your data.

Analytics

We may use privacy-respecting analytics (such as Plausible Analytics) to understand how the site is used. These analytics:

  • Do not use cookies
  • Do not track you across sites
  • Do not collect personal information
  • Only collect aggregate, anonymous usage data (page views, referrers)

This helps us improve the site while respecting your privacy.

Third-Party Services

The site is hosted on Netlify. Their privacy practices are governed by their own privacy policy. We do not share any user data with Netlify beyond what is necessary to serve the website.

Audio files for background music are served directly and do not involve third-party tracking.

Cookies

Settle does not use tracking cookies. We may use essential cookies or localStorage for functionality (such as remembering your preferences), but these are not used for tracking or advertising purposes.

Children's Privacy

Settle is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children. Since we don't collect personal information from anyone, this is not a significant concern.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

Your Rights

Since your data is stored locally on your device, you have complete control over it:

  • Access: View your data anytime in the Practice section
  • Export: Download all your data using the Export feature
  • Delete: Clear your browser data or use the delete functions in the app
  • Portability: Export and import your data between devices
