Privacy Policy for Zoria

Effective date: 10 July 2026
Last updated: 10 July 2026

Zoria ("the App," "we," "us") is a white noise and sleep sound app. This Privacy Policy explains what information the App does and does not collect, and how the few pieces of data that exist are handled.

In short: Zoria has no backend server, requires no account, and collects no personal data about you. Everything the app remembers stays on your device.


1. No Account, No Personal Information

Zoria does not ask you to sign up, log in, or provide your name, email address, phone number, or any other personal identifier. There is no user profile, no cloud account, and no way for us to identify you individually. The app makes no network requests to any server operated by us, because we don't have one.

We do not collect:

Apple's Privacy Manifest for the iOS build (ios/zoria/PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy) formally declares NSPrivacyCollectedDataTypes as empty and NSPrivacyTracking as false, consistent with everything above.

2. Information Stored Only On Your Device

To make the App work, a small amount of data is saved locally on your phone using on-device storage (AsyncStorage). None of it ever leaves your device or is visible to us:

What's storedPurpose
Selected color themeRestores your chosen theme on next launch
Favorited soundsRestores your saved favorites list
App-rating prompt state (session count, first-use date, last-prompted date, whether you've already rated)Avoids asking you to rate the app too often or too soon
Free-trial start dateLets the app schedule a local reminder before your trial ends (see §4)
Downloaded sound filesThe sound library itself, cached locally so playback works offline

If you delete the App, all of this is deleted along with it. We have no copy of it anywhere else and no way to recover it.

3. Subscriptions & Payment

Zoria offers an auto-renewing subscription with a free trial (3 days by default; the exact length is shown in the app before you subscribe). All billing is handled entirely by the Apple App Store (and, on Android, the Google Play Store, where applicable) — Zoria never receives, processes, or stores your payment card details.

Your subscription and trial status are read directly from Apple's on-device StoreKit transaction records each time the app needs them. We do not maintain our own record of your subscription status on any server, because there is no server. Managing or canceling your subscription happens entirely inside Apple's or Google's own subscription-management screens, which the app links out to.

Auto-renewable subscription terms: Your subscription automatically renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple ID account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription anytime in your Apple ID account settings. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription, where applicable.

4. Notifications

Zoria may ask for permission to send you local notifications. These are scheduled entirely on your device — there is no push notification server, no push token is generated or collected, and no notification content is ever sent to us or through any third-party push service.

The app schedules at most two kinds of local reminders:

You can disable notifications anytime in your device's system Settings; this doesn't affect any other functionality.

5. Sound Library & Offline Playback

All sounds in Zoria are bundled with the app and play entirely offline — nothing is streamed from a server, and we have no record of which sounds you play, how often, or for how long.

6. Lock Screen, Control Center & Connected Devices

On iOS, Zoria integrates with the system's Now Playing / Control Center and Lock Screen controls (play, pause, skip) so you can control playback without opening the app, and supports sending audio to another AirPlay or Bluetooth device through Apple's native output picker. Reading the name of a connected device (e.g., "Living Room Speaker") happens locally through Apple's system frameworks purely to display it in the app's UI — this information is never transmitted anywhere by us.

7. Ratings

If you choose to rate Zoria, your rating goes directly to Apple through Apple's own native review prompt — we never see or store the star rating or review text you submit through that flow. A small amount of local-only state (how many times you've seen our own "enjoying the app?" pre-prompt, and when) is kept on-device purely to avoid asking too often; see §2.

8. Sharing

If you use the in-app "Share" option, it opens your device's native share sheet with a link to the app. What you do from there — which app or contact you share it through — is between you and your device's operating system. We have no visibility into whether or how you used it.

9. Permissions Requested

PermissionPlatformWhy
NotificationsiOS & AndroidTo schedule the local reminders described in §4
InternetAndroidIncluded by default in the Android project template; the app does not currently make any network requests

Zoria does not request camera, microphone, location, contacts, or photo library access.

10. Third-Party Frameworks Used

Zoria uses the following platform-provided frameworks to implement the features above. None of these are third-party analytics, advertising, or data-processing services — they are Apple/Google system frameworks or on-device-only libraries:

11. Children's Privacy

Zoria is intended for use by parents and caregivers, not by children, and does not knowingly collect information from children. Because the app has no mechanism to receive or store personal information from any user, it likewise has no mechanism to receive such information from a child — everything described in §2 is local device storage only.

12. Your Rights

Because Zoria doesn't collect or store personal data on any server, there's generally no personal data for us to access, correct, or delete on your behalf. If you have questions about how the limited, on-device data described above is handled, or requests under GDPR, CCPA, or a similar privacy law, reach us using the contact information below.

13. Changes to This Policy

If Zoria's data practices change — for example, if we add analytics, a backend service, or new integrations in the future — we will update this policy and revise the "Last updated" date above.
