Privacy Policy

Solstice · People Harmonics · Last updated 7 July 2026

The short version. Solstice is a sound-therapy and meditation app. We collect as little as possible:

1. Who we are

Solstice (“the app”) is provided by People Harmonics (“we”, “us”, “our”). This policy explains what information the app handles, why, and the choices you have. It applies to the Solstice mobile app and the website at solstice.peopleharmonics.com.

Company registration and a dedicated contact address are being finalised. Until then, privacy questions can be sent to the contact address at the end of this policy.

2. Information we collect

Account information (optional)

Solstice's core sounds and sessions work without an account. If you choose to create one to unlock premium tiers or sync your plan, we collect your email address and a password. Passwords are never stored in readable form — they are securely hashed by our authentication provider.

Payment information (only if you subscribe)

If you purchase a subscription, payment is handled by a third-party payment processor. We receive confirmation of your plan and status, but we do not receive or store your full card number or bank details. (In-app purchases are not active at the time of writing.)

Technical information

Like any internet service, our hosting and backend providers automatically process basic technical data needed to deliver and secure the service — such as your IP address, device or browser type, and request timestamps. This is used for operation and security, not for profiling or advertising.

3. What we do not do

4. App permissions

The app requests only what it needs to play audio reliably:

Internet — load sounds & your account Foreground service — keep audio playing Notifications — show playback controls

5. How we use information

6. Service providers

We rely on a small number of trusted providers who process data only on our behalf: a backend & authentication provider (for accounts), a hosting/content provider (to deliver the app), and, when subscriptions are active, a payment processor. Each is bound to protect your data and use it only to provide their service to us.

7. Data retention

We keep account information for as long as your account exists. If you delete your account or ask us to remove your data, we delete it from our active systems, except where we must retain limited records to meet legal or accounting obligations.

8. Your rights

Because we are based in the Netherlands, we apply the protections of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to all users. You have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below and we will respond promptly.

9. Where your data is processed

Your data may be processed on servers located inside or outside the European Economic Area by our providers. Where data leaves the EEA, our providers apply recognised safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) to protect it.

10. Children

Solstice is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

11. Security

We use encryption in transit (HTTPS), secure password hashing, and access controls to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we take reasonable steps to safeguard your data.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the app evolves. We will revise the “Last updated” date above and, for significant changes, provide a clearer notice in the app.
