Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 1, 2026

Introduction

BreatheWell ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website located at breathewell.me. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our website and breathing exercise application.

We are committed to protecting your privacy. BreatheWell is designed with a privacy-first approach: we do not collect personal data, do not require user accounts, and do not transmit your information to any server.

Information We Collect

BreatheWell collects no personal information. We do not require registration, login, or any form of account creation. We do not ask for your name, email address, or any other identifying information.

The only data associated with your use of BreatheWell consists of preferences stored locally in your browser using localStorage. This includes:

  • Theme preference — your choice of light or dark mode
  • Cookie consent status — whether you have acknowledged the cookie consent notice
  • Exercise preferences — any customization settings for breathing exercises

This data is stored entirely within your browser on your own device. It is never transmitted to our servers or any third party.

Cookies

BreatheWell uses only strictly functional cookies and browser storage mechanisms necessary for the website to operate properly. Specifically:

  • Theme preference cookie/localStorage — stores your selected color theme (light or dark mode) so it persists across sessions
  • Cookie consent localStorage — records that you have acknowledged the cookie consent notice so it is not shown again

We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or any third-party cookies for analytics or marketing purposes.

Third-Party Services

BreatheWell uses the following third-party service:

Google Fonts

We use Google Fonts to load the typefaces used on this website. When you visit BreatheWell, your browser makes a request to Google's servers to download the font files. This means Google may receive your IP address and basic browser information as part of that request.

Google's use of this data is governed by Google's Privacy Policy. We do not have control over how Google processes this information. For more details on how Google Fonts handles data, please refer to the Google Fonts Privacy FAQ.

No other third-party services, analytics platforms, advertising networks, or external scripts are loaded by BreatheWell.

Data Storage

All data related to your use of BreatheWell is stored locally in your browser using standard web storage APIs (localStorage). This data:

  • Remains entirely on your device
  • Is never transmitted to our servers or any external service
  • Is never shared with third parties
  • Can be deleted at any time by clearing your browser's site data

We do not operate any databases, servers, or backend systems that store user data.

Children's Privacy

BreatheWell does not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone, including children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction). Since we do not collect personal data of any kind, no special provisions for children's data are necessary. However, we recommend that children use BreatheWell under the supervision of a parent or guardian, particularly given the nature of the breathing exercises provided.

Analytics

BreatheWell does not use any analytics services. We do not use Google Analytics, Plausible, Fathom, or any other analytics platform. We do not track page views, user behavior, sessions, or any other usage metrics.

Your Rights

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and other applicable privacy laws, you have rights concerning your personal data. Since BreatheWell does not collect or store any personal data on our servers, most data subject rights are inherently satisfied.

Regarding locally stored data, you have the right to:

  • Access — view your localStorage data through your browser's developer tools
  • Delete — clear all BreatheWell data by clearing your browser's site data for breathewell.me, or by using your browser's "Clear browsing data" feature
  • Portability — export your localStorage data through your browser's developer tools

How to Delete Your Data

To remove all data stored by BreatheWell on your device:

  1. Open your browser's settings or preferences
  2. Navigate to Privacy, Security, or Site Data settings
  3. Find the entry for breathewell.me
  4. Delete the stored data for this site

Alternatively, you can use your browser's developer tools (usually accessible via F12) to view and delete individual localStorage entries.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. Your continued use of BreatheWell after any modifications constitutes your acknowledgment of the changes and your acceptance of the updated policy.
