1. Introduction
CalmerNow is a wellness app focused on stress and anxiety management. It offers tools such as Reframe, Make It Calmer, breathing, journaling/check-in notes, mood tracking, Daily Calm, grounding, and optional Premium AI features.
This policy applies to the CalmerNow app and the CalmerNow support pages on yigitcilli.com. The website’s general site privacy notice is separate and available at Gizlilik Politikamız.

2. Information We Collect
Account information. When you sign in, we process authentication data through Firebase Authentication. Depending on the sign-in provider and what you share, this may include a user ID (UID), email address, display name, and sign-in provider type. Our backend may store a corresponding account profile (UID, email, display name, provider, plan status, timezone, and login timestamps) to provide signed-in features.
User-provided content. You may create mood check-ins (including optional notes/reflections), focus-session notes, Daily Calm / task progress, onboarding goals, breathing-session history, habits/routines, and similar in-app content. Some of this stays on your device. When you are signed in, certain items — such as mood entries (score and optional reflection text), focus sessions, daily task progress, and notification preferences — may be synced to our backend.
Purchase information. If you buy Lifetime Premium, purchase and entitlement status are processed through Apple’s App Store and RevenueCat. We may store a local premium flag on your device and a plan status on your backend account. CalmerNow does not collect or store your full payment card details.
Technical information. When the app talks to our backend, requests may include a Firebase ID token (for authentication), a timezone header, and standard network/request metadata needed to operate the API (for example request timing and path). We do not operate a separate advertising analytics or crash-reporting SDK in the app.
Local app data. The app stores data on your device using local preferences storage, including check-ins, breathing history, Daily Calm progress, reminders schedules, premium/usage counters, onboarding state, habits/routines, and similar feature state. Local reminder delivery is handled on-device; the app does not use remote push messaging (FCM) in the current codebase.
3. AI Features
When you use AI features such as Reframe, Make It Calmer, journal feedback, mood analysis, or daily coaching, the text or structured data you submit for that request is sent to our secure backend API. The backend may forward that content to Google Gemini (Google Generative AI) to generate a response.
For Reframe and Make It Calmer, the user message you type is included in the AI request. Journal feedback may include the journal/check-in text you submit. Mood analysis may include recent mood labels and dates. Daily coaching may include aggregated activity metrics and goal tags — not free-form journal text unless you submit it through a feature that sends text.
AI request content is used to generate the response for that session. Our backend stores AI daily usage counts for signed-in users; it does not store Reframe / Make It Calmer message transcripts or AI reply bodies in the application database as part of those feature flows.
4. Authentication
CalmerNow uses Firebase Authentication. On iOS, the primary supported sign-in method in the current product configuration is Sign in with Apple. Sign in with Apple may request email and name scopes as part of Apple’s authentication flow; the app then creates or signs into a Firebase account with that credential.
After sign-in, the app may use your Firebase ID token to authenticate backend requests and may associate premium status with your account. You can sign out from Settings. Signing out ends the signed-in session; it is not the same as account deletion.
5. Purchases
In-app purchases (including Lifetime Premium) are processed by Apple through the App Store and by RevenueCat for entitlement management. RevenueCat may receive an app user identifier linked to your signed-in Firebase UID so entitlements can be restored across devices.
CalmerNow does not directly access, process, or store your credit card number. Payment details are handled by Apple according to Apple’s terms and privacy practices.
6. How We Use Information
We use the information described above to: provide app features (including syncing signed-in wellbeing data where enabled); authenticate you and keep your session secure; generate AI responses you request; verify and restore Premium entitlements; operate reminders you enable locally; and maintain security, reliability, and basic troubleshooting of the service (for example API request logs that record path and status, not AI message bodies in production).
7. Data Sharing / Third Parties
We share information with service providers only as needed to operate CalmerNow:
• Apple — Sign in with Apple and App Store in-app purchases.
• Firebase / Google — Firebase Authentication and related Google infrastructure used for sign-in.
• Google Gemini (Google Generative AI) — processes AI feature inputs sent through our backend to generate responses.
• RevenueCat — purchase and entitlement management.
• Cloud hosting providers — operate our backend API and database (deployment configurations reference cloud platforms such as Google Cloud Run and/or Render).
We do not sell your personal information to advertisers. The current CalmerNow app codebase does not include advertising SDKs, Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics, or Sentry.
Third parties process data under their own terms and privacy policies when you use their services (for example Apple, Google, and RevenueCat).
8. Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes. Exact retention periods are not hard-coded as fixed TTLs in the current application or backend codebase.
Local data remains on your device until you clear app data, sign out where applicable, or uninstall the app. Backend account and synced wellbeing records remain until deleted or de-identified in response to a valid deletion request or as otherwise required for the service.
9. Data Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures appropriate to the service, including HTTPS for production API traffic, Firebase Authentication for signed-in requests, and server-side secret management for backend credentials (such as API keys and service-account configuration stored as environment secrets).
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of information.
10. Account and Data Deletion
The current CalmerNow app does not include an in-app “Delete Account” button. To request deletion of your CalmerNow account and associated account data held by us, email yigit.cilli@gmail.com from an address linked to your account (or identify the Sign in with Apple email/identifier you use). Use the subject line “CalmerNow account deletion”.
After we verify the request, we will delete or de-identify account data we control in our systems. Local data on your device can be removed by signing out and uninstalling the app. Apple ID / App Store purchase records remain under Apple’s control according to Apple’s policies.
11. Children's Privacy
CalmerNow is a general wellness app and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to remove it.
12. Health Disclaimer
CalmerNow is not a medical device. It does not provide medical diagnosis, medical treatment, psychotherapy, or emergency services, and it is not a substitute for professional healthcare. If you are in crisis or need clinical help, contact a qualified professional or local emergency services.
13. International Data Processing
Our service providers (including Apple, Google/Firebase, Google Gemini, RevenueCat, and cloud hosting providers) may process data in the United States or other countries where they operate. By using CalmerNow, you understand that your information may be transferred to and processed in countries that may have different data-protection rules than your own.
14. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this policy will change when we post a revision. Continued use of CalmerNow after an update means you acknowledge the revised policy. Material changes may also be described on the CalmerNow Support page or in an app update notice when appropriate.
