Privacy Policy — Gail's Gentle Pause App

Effective Date: February 23, 2026 Last Updated: February 23, 2026

Overview

Gail's Gentle Pause is a mindfulness reminder app created by StartDisability.com. Your privacy matters to us, and we built this app with privacy as a core principle. This policy explains how the app handles your information.

Data Collection

Gail's Gentle Pause does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data. Specifically:

  • No personal information is collected (name, email, phone number, etc.)

  • No usage data or analytics are collected

  • No location data is collected

  • No data is sent to any server, third party, or external service

  • No advertising SDKs or tracking tools are included in the app

  • No cookies or web tracking technologies are used

Data Storage

All app data — including your settings, message preferences, and any voice recordings you add — is stored locally on your device only. This data never leaves your phone.

If you uninstall the app, all locally stored data is automatically removed by your device's operating system.

Internet Access

Gail's Gentle Pause does not require an internet connection to function. The app works entirely offline after installation.

Permissions

The app requests certain Android permissions solely to deliver reminders reliably. These permissions are used only for their stated purpose:

  • Notifications: To display and sound your reminders

  • Alarms & Reminders: To deliver reminders at the scheduled time

  • Full-Screen Notifications: To show reminders on your lock screen

  • Display Over Other Apps: To show reminders while using other apps (optional)

No permission is used to access, collect, or transmit personal data.

Children's Privacy

Gail's Gentle Pause does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under the age of 13. Because the app collects no data whatsoever, it is compliant with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

Third-Party Services

Gail's Gentle Pause does not integrate with any third-party services, analytics platforms, advertising networks, or social media tools.

Changes to This Policy

If we update this privacy policy, the revised version will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Because the app collects no data, meaningful changes to this policy are unlikely.
