Privacy Policy for Dreamachine

Effective Date: 2024-07-30

This Privacy Policy describes how Dreamachine ("we," "us," or "our") handles information in connection with your use of the Dreamachine mobile application (the "App"). We are committed to protecting your privacy.

1. Information We Do Not Collect

Dreamachine is designed with your privacy in mind. We do not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information ("PII") from you. This means we do not ask for your name, email address, location, or any other data that could identify you personally.

2. Information We Handle (Locally on Your Device)

The App operates primarily by processing and storing data locally on your device. This includes:

• App Usage Data: Information related to your interactions within the App, such as your chosen strobe patterns, session types, frequency settings, session duration, progression level, XP earned, and achievement progress. This data is used solely to provide and improve your experience within the App (e.g., to track your progress, unlock new features, and personalize settings) and is stored exclusively on your device.
• Preferences: Any settings you configure within the App are saved locally on your device to ensure a consistent experience across sessions.

This local data is not transmitted to us or any third parties. If you uninstall the App, this local data may be deleted, unless backed up by your device's operating system (e.g., Android's built-in backup features).

3. How We Use Your Information (Locally)

The information generated by your use of the App is used exclusively on your device for the following purposes:

• To enable the core functionality of the App, such as running induction sessions.
• To track your in-app progress, statistics, and achievements.
• To personalize your experience, for example, by remembering your last used settings.
• To improve the App's features and performance based on your local usage patterns (without transmitting any data externally).

4. Data Sharing

We do not share any data collected by the App with third parties because we do not collect any personal data from you to begin with. All usage and preference data remains on your device.

5. Data Security

While we do not collect or store your personal data, we recognize the importance of securing the data stored on your device. The App employs standard practices to ensure the integrity of the data it handles locally. However, no electronic storage or transmission method is 100% secure.

6. Your Privacy Rights

Since we do not collect or store any personal information about you, there are no "personal data" rights to exercise with us directly. You have full control over the App on your device, including the ability to uninstall it at any time.

7. Health Disclaimer: Epilepsy, Photosensitivity, and Other Conditions

WARNING: This App utilizes visual stimulation, including rapidly flashing lights and changing patterns, which may induce seizures in individuals with photosensitive epilepsy or other seizure disorders. If you have a history of epilepsy, seizures, photosensitivity, or any neurological or mental health condition, consult a medical professional before using this App.

Discontinue Use Immediately: If you experience any of the following symptoms while using the App: dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitches, loss of awareness, disorientation, any involuntary movement, or convulsions, STOP USING THE APP IMMEDIATELY AND CONSULT A DOCTOR.

Not a Medical Device: Dreamachine is not a medical device. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition. Do not use this App as a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment.

User Responsibility: You are solely responsible for your use of this App and for determining whether it is safe for you to use. We disclaim all liability for any adverse effects or consequences resulting from the use of this App, particularly in individuals with pre-existing medical conditions.

Under the Influence: Do not use this App if you are under the influence of alcohol, recreational drugs, or any medication that may impair your cognitive functions or increase your sensitivity to visual stimuli.

8. Children's Privacy

Dreamachine is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently received personal information from a child under the age of 13, we will delete such information from our records.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Effective Date" at the top. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
