Your privacy matters. This policy says what Buddha Story actually does with information, and what this website does. It matches the app we ship, not an older Android version of the product.

1. Overview

The app plays stories, meditations, and sounds. It does not ask you to create an account. It does not ask for your name, email, or phone number. Favourites, the narrator you picked, playback speed, the sleep-timer length, and whether you have passed the opening screen stay on the phone.

If you use an Android build of the same project, purchases go through Google Play instead of the App Store. The on-device storage and the audio downloads described here are the same.

2. What the app handles

On launch, the app may request the catalog at https://audio.buddhiststories.app/v1/catalog.json. If that file is at least as new as the copy in the app, and it still has stories and both narrators, the app uses it. The request is an ordinary HTTPS download. The app does not attach an account id or an advertising id. The host, and your network, see the usual connection data: IP address, time, and the address requested.

That is the network call the app makes on its own. It is not an analytics event.

3. What we do not collect

4. Audio downloads

Free narration for five stories and two meditations, for both Kimberly and Peaceful Peter, is packed in the app. All ten soundscapes are packed in the app. Playing those does not download them again.

Premium stories and meditations are marked remote. The first time you play one, the app downloads that narrator's file from https://audio.buddhiststories.app/v1/ plus the file path, saves it in the app's private storage, and checks a SHA-256 hash that shipped with the app. A later play uses the saved file. You can remove saved files with Delete downloads in Settings.

The catalog shipped with the app uses that audio address. A test build can be pointed at a different address. This policy describes the address in the shipping catalog. We do not run that download through an account, and the file request does not include your name.

5. Purchases

Optional auto-renewing subscriptions are sold by Apple on the App Store. The product ids in the app are com.playza.dharmasleep.buddhastory.monthly and com.playza.dharmasleep.buddhastory.yearly. The app asks the store, through Unity IAP, whether one of those subscriptions is active, and shows the price the store returns. If the store cannot be reached, the cards fall back to the prices written in the app: $4.99 a month and $39.99 a year.

We do not receive your card number. Apple processes the payment. Restore Purchases asks Apple for purchases already on that Apple ID. The app keeps the result in memory so locked stories, meditations, and sounds can play. It does not send a copy of the receipt to a Playza server. There is no Playza account attached to the purchase.

6. On the device

Preferences (favourites, narrator, speed, timer, opening screen) use the platform's on-device preferences. Downloads live in the app's private audio folder. Other apps cannot read that folder. Uninstalling the app removes it. Delete downloads removes the saved audio and leaves the stories that were packed in the app.

We do not operate an account database for the app, so there is no server copy of those preferences for us to retain. Audio files on our host are the narration library, not a record of who listened.

7. Children

Buddha Story is a general-audience app. It is not directed at children under 13, and it does not ask for a birth date. Because it does not collect an account, we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe an email to us includes a child's information and you want it deleted, write to support@playzagames.com.

8. This website

https://sleepwellwithbuddha.com is a set of static pages. It does not set analytics cookies, and it does not load an analytics script. There is no account and no form. If you email support@playzagames.com, we receive whatever you send, and we use it to answer you.

The site is hosted on Cloudflare. The host may keep ordinary connection logs, such as IP address, time, and the page requested, to run and protect the site. We do not use those logs to build a marketing profile, and we do not sell them.

9. Your choices

On the phone, you can change narrator, clear favourites by toggling them, delete downloads, or uninstall the app. Subscriptions are cancelled in your Apple ID settings, not by us.

If you have emailed us, you can ask us to delete that correspondence. Write to support@playzagames.com. We will answer within 30 days. If the law where you live gives you a right to access or correct personal data, and an email you sent us is the data we hold, we will help with that request.

10. Changes

If this policy changes in a way that matters, the date at the top of this page will change. The old Android policy on another website described accounts, Firebase, and analytics. This build does not do those things, and this page should be the one you rely on for this app and for https://sleepwellwithbuddha.com.
