The short version. Maitora does not collect, transmit, sell, or share your personal data. There are no accounts, no analytics, no advertising, no trackers, and no data-collecting third-party SDKs. The app has no servers of its own — everything you create and every number it tracks stays on your device, under your control. Deleting the app removes that data.
The app uses the internet for exactly one optional thing: if you turn on the natural narration voice (part of Maitora Pro), it downloads that voice's model file once. That download sends none of your data — only a request for a public file. Everything else is fully offline. See "Natural narration voice" below.
The sections below explain this in full because the App Store requires a complete policy for any app that touches Apple Health.

Information the app accesses (only with your permission)
Maitora works entirely on your device. With your explicit permission, it can use the following — each is optional and off until you turn it on:
Apple Health
Health logging is opt-in and disabled by default. If you enable it, Maitora asks once for permission and then:
- Writes mindful minutes — when you finish a session, the time you spent is saved to Apple Health as a Mindful Minutes (mindful session) entry, tagged with a private identifier so the app can recognise its own entries.
- Reads your mindful minutes for today — only to show your daily progress inside the app.
- Mood (iOS 18 and later, optional) — if you also enable the post-session mood check-in, Maitora writes your chosen feeling to Apple Health as a State of Mind entry and reads back your recent entries to draw the 30-day mood trend chart in the app.
Health data is stored by Apple in the Health app on your device and is governed by Apple's privacy protections. Maitora never transmits your Health data off the device, never uses it for advertising or marketing, and never shares it with any third party. It is used only to display your progress and trends inside the app.
You can review or turn off Maitora's access at any time in the Health app → Sharing → Apps → Maitora, or by turning the toggles off in Maitora's Settings. (Like all apps, Maitora cannot revoke its own Health access — that switch lives in the Health app.)
Photos and videos
When you import a video or build a montage, you pick the photos and videos yourself through Apple's standard picker. The media you choose is copied into Maitora's private on-device storage so it can play your personal mind movie. These files never leave your device and are never uploaded anywhere.
Microphone and speech (optional)
If you use voice journaling, Maitora transcribes your speech on the device using Apple's on-device speech recognition. The microphone is used only while you are dictating, the audio is not stored, and nothing is sent to any server. This feature is offered only where on-device recognition is available.
Notifications
If you enable reminders, Maitora schedules local notifications (a daily nudge and an optional wind-down or streak reminder) on your device. These are generated on-device; there is no push server and no reminder data is sent over the internet.
Mitra and on-device intelligence
Maitora's companion, Mitra, and its generated guided meditations, sleep stories and affirmations run entirely on your device using Apple Intelligence (Foundation Models) where available. What you type to Mitra, and the text it produces, never leave your phone — there is no cloud service behind it.
Natural narration voice (optional download)
Maitora can read guided meditations, sleep stories, and affirmations aloud in a natural-sounding on-device voice ("Heart"). This voice is optional and is part of Maitora Pro; Apple's built-in system voices, which need no download, remain available to everyone for free.
The first time you choose to use the natural voice, Maitora downloads its voice model — a public file, the same for every user, that contains no personal information — over a secure (HTTPS) connection and stores it on your device. This one-time download is the only time Maitora uses the internet. It requests a public model file and nothing else: no account, no device identifier, and none of your sessions, journal, mood, or Health data is ever sent.
Once the voice is downloaded it runs entirely on your device. The text it speaks — your affirmations, prompts, and any words drawn from your own journal — is turned into audio on-device and never leaves your phone.
Information stored on your device
The following is kept locally on your device (and only there):
- Your movies and montages, and the photos/videos in them.
- Your journal entries (and any photos in them).
- Your session history and the statistics derived from it — session count, total time, daily goal, and streaks.
- Your settings and preferences.
- Your mood check-in selections (also written to Apple Health if you enabled that).
- Your conversations with Mitra and a small on-device memory of which practices you tend to choose.
This data is shared on your device only with the Maitora home-screen widget (through a private app group) and mirrored to your paired Apple Watch over Apple's encrypted device-to-device connection so the watch can act as a remote. None of it is sent to the developer or to any external service. You can export an encryptable backup file yourself at any time from Settings → Privacy & data.
Data collection and sharing
- Collected by the developer: none.
- Shared with third parties: none.
- Sold: never.
- Used for tracking or advertising: never.
- Analytics / crash reporting: none.
- Network use: none, except an optional one-time download of the natural narration voice model (a public file over HTTPS) — it transmits none of your data.
In App Store terms, Maitora is a "Data Not Collected" app.
Purchases of Maitora Pro are handled entirely by Apple through the App Store / StoreKit. Maitora never sees your payment details; it only learns from Apple whether your subscription is active. Apple's handling of your purchase is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.
Data retention and deletion
Because all of your data lives on your device, you are in control of it:
- Deleting Maitora removes the app's movies, journal, history, and settings from your device.
- Health entries written by Maitora remain in the Health app until you delete them there (Health app → Browse → Mindfulness / State of Mind).
- You can clear your in-app history at any time from the app's Privacy & data settings, and ask Mitra to forget your conversations with one tap.
Security
Your data stays within your device's app sandbox and Apple Health, protected by iOS/iPadOS/watchOS system security and your device passcode or biometrics. The journal can be locked behind Face ID or Touch ID. The watch connection uses Apple's encrypted WatchConnectivity transport.
Children's privacy
Maitora is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect any information from anyone — it collects no personal data at all.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at the same location with a new effective date. Material changes will be reflected in an app update.
