Privacy Policy
Privacy at a glance
Purrna does not require a Purrna account and has no traditional login. The app is local-first. Purrna uses Firebase (a Google service) to keep optional, free cloud backups of your durable progress. By default each device receives a private anonymous backup; you can instead sign in with Apple or Google so the same backup follows you across devices and reinstalls. If you use Membership features, RevenueCat processes an anonymous app identifier and purchase information so Purrna can provide and restore Premium access.
Purrna has no ads, does not track you across apps or websites, and does not sell personal data.
Information stored on your device
Practice history and statistics, onboarding progress, stage, distractions and reflections, custom breathing patterns, guided-session completions, meditation points, inventory, equipped cosmetics, and durable preferences are stored locally on your device. Active timers, temporary screen state, and purchase credentials are not included in Purrna cloud backups.
Optional cloud backup
Cloud backup is optional, free, and used only to save and restore app progress. Purrna stores one private profile document in Google Firebase Firestore. By default access uses an anonymous account created on your device; signing in with Apple or Google links that backup to your account so it can be restored on any device you sign into. Backups are transmitted encrypted in transit and only your account can read or write your document.
A cloud backup can include the durable categories listed above, along with a random profile identifier, save time, device identifier, schema version, Premium preview timestamps, and an integrity checksum. Your backup is never shown to other Purrna users and is not used for advertising, profiling, or cross-app tracking.
Subscriptions and RevenueCat
Purrna uses RevenueCat to validate purchases and keep Premium access in sync with Apple or Google. RevenueCat may process an anonymous Purrna app-user identifier, product and entitlement status, purchase and renewal history, transaction receipts, store country, and limited device or app diagnostic information. Purrna uses this information for app functionality, purchase support, fraud prevention, and aggregated purchase analytics—not for advertising or cross-app tracking.
RevenueCat retains purchase records according to its service and legal obligations. Apple and Google may retain transaction records independently under their own policies, including after Purrna data is deleted. Purrna never stores store-account passwords or payment-card details.
System features
Purrna can schedule local notifications so a user-started practice or breathing timer can finish reliably. On Android, exact-alarm access may be requested for precise timer completion. Purrna can also play user-started ambient audio in the background and show a timer status on the lock screen or, where supported, as an iOS Live Activity.
Notification and exact-alarm permissions are controlled in your device settings. Purrna does not use these permissions for advertising, profiling, or remote messages.
Retention and deletion
Local app data remains until you clear Purrna’s app data or uninstall the app. Device backups may retain a copy according to your Apple or Google backup settings and policies. A Purrna cloud backup remains until you use Cloud & Membership → Delete Cloud Backup, request deletion through the contact address below, or Google removes it under its retention rules. Deleting a cloud backup does not delete progress on the current device, and turning off cloud backup only stops future backups—it does not delete the stored backup or your device data.
Signing in with Apple or Google is managed through your Apple ID or Google Account. To request deletion of RevenueCat records associated with your anonymous support identifier, contact us using the address below and include that identifier from Cloud & Membership. Cancel or manage an active subscription separately through Apple or Google.
Health disclaimer
Purrna is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. Consult a healthcare professional for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
