1. Scope
This policy applies to the Pluvia mobile application (client builds for Android, iOS, and similar platforms). Store policies (Google Play, App Store) or OS rules may apply in addition to this document.
2. Information stored on your device (not sent to us)
The App may store the following in local storage (e.g. SharedPreferences). We do not use this to identify you on a server; remove the App or clear app data to delete it.
- Favorite sound IDs
- Current mix state: layers, volume, and playback state
- Saved sound groups (name and layer list)
- Recent sounds
- UI settings: theme, sleep timer, fade on timer end, etc.
- Default timer, bedtime reminder, notification toggles (bedtime, weekly summary)
- Approximate listening time for the week (stored only on device)
- App language preference (where supported)
- Small flags (e.g. whether to show the playback-notification hint again on Android)
This data is used only to provide mix playback, library, timer, and scheduled local notifications.
3. Local notifications (no push server from Pluvia)
Bedtime reminders and weekly summaries are scheduled on your device. They are not remote push messages sent from our servers to your device. You can turn notifications off in system settings.
4. Permissions and OS features
The App may request the following, depending on platform and feature:
- Notifications — for local reminders and system behavior around media playback.
- Battery optimization exemption (Android) — optional guidance for background playback; not required.
- Internet — used to load ads (AdMob). Sound assets are primarily bundled with the App.
5. Advertising (Google AdMob)
The App may show banner ads using the Google Mobile Ads SDK (AdMob). Google may process data as described in the Google Privacy Policy, Advertising info, and AdMob policies, including for ad delivery, measurement, and fraud prevention.
- Advertising ID (e.g. Android Advertising ID, Apple’s identifier for advertising) may be used for personalized or non-personalized ads and measurement.
- You can limit ad personalization in device or account settings (Android, iOS, Google Ads Settings, where available).
- We do not send your mix names, favorites, or library content to Google as “app content” for ads. Data processed by the ad SDK follows Google’s policies and SDK behavior.
- In some regions (e.g. EEA, UK), Google may require a consent UI (e.g. UMP). Behavior may vary by App version; follow on-screen prompts and Google’s documentation.
AdMob metrics and revenue are aggregated in Google’s and the developer’s consoles; the App does not upload your mix lists to advertisers as custom content.
6. Third-party services
Ads: Google LLC (Google Mobile Ads SDK).
Distribution and reviews are governed by Google Play /
Apple policies.
7. Children
Pluvia offers sleep and ASMR-style audio. There is no Pluvia account system aimed at children. Ads are subject to Google’s policies and developer console targeting (including family programs, where applicable). Parents can use device parental controls and ad settings.
8. Retention and deletion
On-device data is removed when you clear app data or uninstall the App. Data Google holds is governed by Google’s policies.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy if features change (e.g. new analytics or sign-in). Material updates may be announced in the App or by updating the effective date above.
10. Contact
For privacy or ad-related questions, use the developer contact shown on the App’s store listing. Keep this page in sync with the URL you provide to the stores.
