Privacy Policy

Introduction

TaraDhara ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our TaraDhara meditation app.

Information We Collect

TaraDhara stores meditation session data locally on your device. This includes meditation session duration, technique used, mood before and after sessions, and personal notes.

With your explicit permission, TaraDhara can read from and write to Apple HealthKit (iOS) for mindfulness minutes tracking.

Health Connect (Android)

On Android, TaraDhara integrates with Health Connect to support its core meditation features. We request access to only the following data types, each tied directly to a feature in the app:

• Heart Rate (read & write) — displayed live during a meditation session (via camera-based heart-rate sensing or a connected wearable) and saved to Health Connect so it appears alongside your other heart-rate data.
• Heart Rate Variability (read) — used to show a stress/recovery insight after your practice, when this data is available from Health Connect.
• Exercise (read & write) — each completed meditation is logged to Health Connect as an exercise/mindfulness session, so it's reflected in your broader activity history.

TaraDhara does not request any other Health Connect data type (such as steps, sleep, blood pressure, weight, or body measurements) because they are not used by any feature in the app. Health data is only read or written with your explicit permission, granted through the Health Connect permission screen, and you can revoke this access at any time from Health Connect's app permissions settings. We do not sell or share your health data with third parties.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. Your data stays on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.

Data Security

All data is stored locally on your device in secure app sandbox. We do not collect or transmit personal information.

Your Rights

You have the right to access, correct, or delete your data at any time. You can delete the app to remove all local data.
