BreathTimer Privacy Policy
BreathTimer is free to download, with an optional one-time Full Access in-app purchase. There is no subscription.
Data Collection
BreathTimer does not collect or receive personal data on servers operated by the developer.
Session history and settings are stored locally on your device. A minimal summary containing your streak, total session count, total breathing time, and latest completion date is shared only between the BreathTimer app and its widget using Apple's App Group storage.
Apple Health
If you explicitly enable Apple Health integration, BreathTimer writes the start and end time of completed breathing sessions to Apple Health as mindful sessions. BreathTimer does not read your health data. You can deny or revoke this permission in Apple Health or Settings at any time.
Health data is stored and managed by Apple Health and may be synced by Apple according to your device and iCloud settings. It is never sent to the developer and is not used for advertising, marketing, or analytics.
Apple Watch
When you complete a session on Apple Watch, the session identifier, breathing pattern, start and end times, duration, and completed cycle count are transferred to the paired iPhone through Apple's WatchConnectivity service. This is used only to update your local history and, if enabled, Apple Health.
Analytics, Advertising, and Tracking
The free version uses Google AdMob to display banner ads on the home and history screens. The Google Mobile Ads SDK may process IP address, device identifiers, advertising data, product interactions, crash logs, and performance data for advertising, measurement, analytics, and fraud prevention. Consent choices are requested where required through Google's User Messaging Platform. Full Access removes ads, and ads are not shown during a breathing session. BreathTimer does not use Apple Health data for advertising, marketing, or analytics.

Photos & Media
BreathTimer does not access your photo library or camera.
