3. Data we do NOT collect

4. How we use your data

5. Data NOT used for

We do not sell your personal information and we do not use your data for advertising.
6. Guest mode
If you use Wellnest without signing in, your check-ins and notes are stored locally on your device only. No email address is collected and your entries are not linked to an account.
7. Family sharing
Family sharing is opt-in. If you choose to connect with someone, Wellnest shares the wellness summaries you have chosen to share with that person. You control the connection and can stop sharing at any time.
8. AI insights and recommendations
Wellnest may use your recent check-in information to generate plain-language insights and content recommendations that fit how you are feeling. These are for everyday wellness and entertainment purposes. They do not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition.
9. Video recommendations
Recommended videos are provided by third-party services. When content loads from a third party, that service may receive technical information such as your IP address and device details, and applies its own privacy policy and terms.
10. Notifications
If you enable notifications, Wellnest stores a push notification token so it can send the reminders you have set up. You can disable notifications at any time in iOS Settings.
11. Service providers
We rely on service providers for hosting, storage, authentication, notifications and content delivery. These providers process information on our behalf under contractual obligations and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes.
13. Data security
We use technical and organisational measures intended to protect information against unauthorised access, loss or misuse. Data is transmitted over encrypted connections. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
14. Data retention
- Users may delete their data at any time
- Account deletion permanently removes all stored data
- Guest mode stores data locally only
While your account is active we retain your check-ins and preferences so the app can show your Aura, history, streaks and progress.
15. Account and data deletion
You can delete your data at any time from within the app. Deleting your account permanently removes all stored data associated with it. If you are in guest mode, deleting the app removes your locally stored data.
You can also request deletion by emailing admin@thewellnestapp.com.
16. Your privacy choices
You can control notifications in iOS Settings, use Wellnest in guest mode without an account, choose whether to share with family members and stop sharing at any time, and request access, correction, export or deletion of your information by contacting us.
17. Children's privacy
Wellnest is not directed to children below the minimum age stated in our Terms, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If we learn that we have collected such information, we will delete it.
18. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice in the app.
