SpiritLog — Privacy Policy

Effective: October 4, 2026

SpiritLog is a meditation timer that keeps track of your practice. It is built by one independent developer, has no server of its own, and does not collect your data. This page explains what the app stores, where it goes, and how to remove it.

What stays on your phone

Everything you create in SpiritLog is stored on your phone:

• your meditation sessions (date, length, preset used, the sounds heard in them),
• your presets, sounds and reminder times,
• your streak, your plant and your achievements,
• your settings.

Diagnostic logs (optional). If you turn on Settings → Help → Diagnostic logs, the app keeps log files on your phone for 30 days. They describe what the app did and when (for example “session started”, “backup finished”, the name of the preset used). SpiritLog never sends them anywhere. If something goes wrong, you can tap Send logs to email them to the developer — only if you choose to. Turning the logs off deletes them.

Uninstalling SpiritLog deletes all of this.

Google Drive backup (optional)

If you choose to turn on backup, you sign in with your Google account. SpiritLog then:

• sees your name and email address, only to show which account is connected;
• gets access to a hidden folder in your own Google Drive that only SpiritLog can see (Google’s “app data” folder). It cannot see, open or change any of your other Drive files;
• saves a copy of your SpiritLog data there when you tap “Back up now”, or shortly after any change if you turn on automatic backup. It keeps one copy per day for the last 14 days, so you can restore them on a new phone.

Your backups go straight from your phone to your Google Drive. The developer never receives them and cannot read them. Google handles them under Google’s Privacy Policy.

To remove backups: sign out in SpiritLog, then in Google Drive open Settings → Manage apps → SpiritLog → Options → Delete hidden app data. You can also revoke SpiritLog’s access at myaccount.google.com/permissions.

Android may also include SpiritLog in your phone’s own backup to your Google account, depending on your phone’s backup settings. That backup is run by Android, not by SpiritLog.

Permissions

• Notifications: to show reminders and the notification of a running session. Reminders are scheduled on your phone; no server sends them.
• Do Not Disturb access (optional): to silence your phone during a session if you ask for it. SpiritLog does not read your notifications.
• Foreground service, wake lock: so the timer and its sounds keep running with the screen off.
• Internet: only for Google sign-in and Drive backup.
• Run at startup: to restore your reminders and the home-screen widget after the phone restarts.

What SpiritLog does not do

• No ads.
• No analytics, tracking or crash reporting.
• No selling or sharing of data with anyone.
• No account with the developer: the only sign-in is Google, and only for backup.

Children

SpiritLog is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect anything from them. It doesn’t collect anything from anyone.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at this address with a new effective date.
