We exceed GDPR requirements for privacy and security, as well as unique requirements for Switzerland, UK, Australia, Brazil, and all US states.
These privacy standards apply to all While users regardless of where you live.
Our sole focus is to create features that help people meditate more consistently and for longer sessions.
We minimize the number of third-party services we use, and we don’t use services associated with Google, Amazon, or Facebook.
The third-party services that we do use meet or exceed our own standards for privacy and security.

The data on your iPhone is encrypted and only decrypted when While is in use. Your session and data are encrypted when stored on our servers and only decrypted when necessary to support product development. Our physical infrastructure, technical architecture, and processes are designed to address known vulnerabilities and include regular security updates.
You won’t receive in-app messages from us so that While is kept as your private space for meditation. We do hope you allow us to contact you by email or Signal for infrequent updates. We use Proton Mail for email.
We seek to create a more trusted relationship with the people who use While and to demonstrate a better way to respect your privacy.
If you have questions about While’s privacy policy, or just want to say hello, you can contact us at hello@while.is.
