Last updated: September 1, 2025 StressReliefBuddy (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is a free, student-created project. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our website (StressReliefBuddy.com) or mobile app (StressReliefBuddy). By using StressReliefBuddy, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.

1. What Information We Collect

We collect very little personal information, and only what you choose to give us. This may include:

• Your name and email address (if you contact us or create an account).
• Limited app permissions (e.g., microphone or notifications) if you allow them on your device.

We do not collect payment details, financial data, or sensitive personal information (such as health, religion, or location history).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information you provide only to:

• Operate and improve the app and website.
• Respond to your messages or support requests.
• Send optional notifications if you enable them.

We do not sell or share your personal data with advertisers or third parties.

3. Data Storage and Security

We take reasonable steps to keep your information secure. However, as a small, student-run project, we cannot guarantee 100% security of data transmitted online. You use the app at your own risk.

We keep your information only as long as necessary to provide the service.

If you delete your account, all your personal information and related data will be permanently removed from our database within 28 days of the deletion request.

Additionally, if you do not log in or use the app for 28 consecutive days, your account and associated data will be automatically deleted from our system to ensure user privacy and data minimization.

If you reinstall or log in again after this period, you may need to create a new account.

4. Children’s Privacy

StressReliefBuddy is not intended for children under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from minors. If we learn a minor has provided personal information, we will delete it promptly.

5. Third-Party Links

Our app or website may link to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. Please review their policies before sharing personal information.

6. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your country or state, you may have rights to access, update, or delete your personal information. To make a request, contact us at info@stressreliefbuddy.com.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we will post an updated version on our website and update the “Last updated” date above.
