Low Tide Calm - Privacy Policy & Terms and Conditions
Last updated: April 2026
Low Tide Calm ("we", "us", "our") is operated by Cian O'Driscoll, based in Wicklow, Ireland. This page contains both our Privacy Policy and our Terms and Conditions. The short version on privacy: the app does not collect any personal data.
Privacy Policy
Data collection
Low Tide Calm does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal data whatsoever. The app has no user accounts, no login, no registration, and no analytics. There is no backend server. There are no third-party SDKs, trackers, or advertising frameworks embedded in the app.
What data stays on your device
Your check-in history, journal entries, dopamine menu counters, custom activities, custom categories, breathing session history, breathing session preferences, and all app settings are stored exclusively in your browser's local storage. We never collect, transmit, or store this data on our servers.
You can clear this data at any time by using "Reset All Data" in Settings, or by clearing your browser or app data. This is permanent and cannot be undone.
Internet access
Low Tide Calm does not require an internet connection to function. All features work fully offline after the initial load. The app makes no network requests during normal use beyond the Google Fonts request described below, which can be avoided by using device fallback fonts.
Payment processing
Low Tide Calm is free to download and use. If you choose to support the app through Ko-fi, that transaction is handled entirely by Ko-fi under their own terms and privacy policy. We do not collect or store any payment information.
Third-party services
We do not use third-party analytics, advertising networks, crash reporting tools, or tracking services of any kind. No behavioural data is collected or shared with any third parties.
This app and its associated website are hosted using Cloudflare, Inc. infrastructure. In the course of delivering content to your device, Cloudflare may process limited technical data such as your IP address and request metadata. Cloudflare acts as a data processor on our behalf and is bound by its Data Processing Addendum (DPA), which incorporates EU Standard Contractual Clauses and a UK Addendum to ensure compliance with GDPR and UK data protection law. Cloudflare does not sell personal data and processes it solely for the purpose of delivering the service. You can review Cloudflare's DPA at cloudflare.com/cloudflare-customer-dpa and their privacy policy at cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.
This app loads fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com). This request shares your IP address with Google as part of the standard font delivery process. Google's privacy policy applies to this request. No other data is transmitted. If you prefer to avoid this, the app is fully functional without fonts loaded (your device fallback fonts will be used).
Cookies and local storage
We use browser local storage to save your app preferences and data. We do not use tracking cookies or third-party analytics of any kind.
Data retention and deletion
All your data is stored locally on your device and is under your full control. To delete your data: use "Reset All Data" in Settings, or clear your browser data. This is permanent and cannot be undone.
Children's privacy
Low Tide Calm is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone of any age. Since no personal data is collected, there is no data to protect or delete.
Your rights
Under GDPR and applicable data protection laws, you have rights over your personal data. As this app holds no personal data on our servers, all data rights are exercised directly on your device. For any questions, contact cian@lowtidecalm.ie.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the app. Continued use of the app constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
