Introduction
Respite is an offline, account-free emotional-regulation toolkit for Android. This policy explains what the app stores and, more importantly, what it never does: collect, transmit, or have access to any of your data.
Information We Collect
We collect nothing. Respite stores the following locally, on your device only:
- Mood entries — energy, mood, and optional notes you log
- Session records — breathing, panic timer, and grounding session timestamps and durations (no audio, no transcripts)
- CBT reflections — the thought-record text you write
- Habits — habit names and daily completion marks
- Hydration logs — water intake entries
- Gratitude entries — the text you write
- App preferences — theme, haptics, audio volume, and similar settings
None of this is ever transmitted anywhere. There is no server for it to go to.
What Respite Does Not Do
- No analytics or usage tracking of any kind
- No crash reporting sent off your device
- No advertising SDK
- No third-party SDKs that transmit data
- No network requests for any core feature
In-App Purchases
Respite offers one optional, one-time in-app purchase ("Respite+") using Android's built-in Google Play Billing. Respite never sees or stores your payment details; that exchange happens directly between your device and Google Play, governed by Google's Privacy Policy. This is the only feature in the app that touches the network at all.
Exporting and Deleting Your Data
Inside the app, Settings → Export & Data lets you:
- Export any tool's history as a CSV file
- Export everything as one JSON backup file
- Generate a one-page printable summary
- Delete everything with a single confirmation
Exported files are only created when you tap Export, and only go wherever you choose to send them (save, share, print). Respite itself never transmits them anywhere.
Permissions
Respite requests no runtime permissions for its core tools. It does not need camera, microphone, contacts, location, or storage access to function.
Children's Privacy
Respite collects no personal information from anyone, including children, because it collects no personal information at all.
Changes to This Policy
If this policy ever changes, the "Last updated" date above will change with it. Any change that would mean Respite starts collecting data it doesn't collect today would be a different product; that is not planned.
