Privacy Policy

Last updated: 27 August 2026

The short version

Gateway Self-Practice does not collect, transmit, or share any personal data. The app has no internet access.

What the app collects

Nothing. There is no account, no sign in, no analytics, no advertising, no crash reporting, and no third party component that transmits data.

The Android app does not declare the INTERNET permission. Without that permission the operating system will not allow the app to open a network connection, so it cannot send information anywhere even in principle.

What the app stores on your device

Stored itemPurpose
Practice journal entriesYour own written record of each session
Set-aside notesShort notes you park during an exercise
SettingsVoice on or off, chosen voice, speaking rate, audio preferences
Safety notice acknowledgementSo the first run notice is shown only once

This data is held in the app's private storage area, which other apps cannot read. It never leaves the device by any route the app controls.

Backups

If you have Android's own backup or device transfer feature switched on, Android may include this app's data in your backup, exactly as it does for other apps. That transfer is performed by Android and your Google account, not by this app, and is governed by Google's privacy policy. You can exclude the app in your device's backup settings.

Deleting your data

Because nothing is ever sent anywhere, there is no server side copy to request or delete.

Permissions

The app requests no runtime permissions. It uses your device's built in text to speech engine for spoken guidance. The text spoken is generated on your device and handed to the system speech service, which is part of Android.

Children

The app is not directed at children and is not designed for use by anyone under 18. It collects no data from anyone, including children.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this same address with a new last updated date.
