ElectronicMonk
Privacy policy
Effective: 23 September 2026
This privacy policy covers the ElectronicMonk meditation app. Privacy contact: emsupport@prottvr.com.
In short
What the app uses: EEG and signal-quality data, motion, and a heart-rate estimate from your compatible Muse headband; your session times, names, notes, settings and calibration; sounds you choose to record or import; and a small technical connection log (headband model, battery level and connection state).
Where it goes: Nowhere. Everything stays in the app's private storage on your phone. There is no account, no cloud, no analytics and no ads. Nobody, including me, sees your data. A file leaves the app only when you export it yourself to a location you choose.
Permissions
- Nearby devices / Bluetooth: to find and connect to your Muse headband.
- Location (Android 11 and older only): those Android versions require it for Bluetooth scanning. ElectronicMonk never reads, stores or sends your location.
- Microphone: only when you choose to record your own sound or spoken countdown.
- Files: sound import and exports use Android's own file and folder picker. The app only touches the file or folder you pick.
Sharing and selling
I do not collect, receive, sell or share your data. The app contains no advertising, analytics or crash-reporting services and does not send your data to me or to anyone else.
Payments are handled by Google Play.
Exports
You can export a session as a file (for example a CSV) to a location you choose. Once exported, that file is yours and under your control, including who you share it with and when you delete it.
Keeping and deleting your data
- Your data stays on your phone until you delete it.
- Delete a single session from History.
- Profile → Clear All Data deletes everything the app has stored: sessions, recordings, settings, calibration, personal sounds, profile and progress, and the connection log.
- Uninstalling the app, or clearing its storage in Android settings, also deletes everything.
- Files you exported are not affected; delete them from the location you saved them to.
Security
Data is kept in Android's app-private storage, which other apps cannot read. Protect your phone with a screen lock and take care of any files you export. No system can guarantee absolute security.
Health
This app is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. Consult a healthcare professional for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
Changes
If ElectronicMonk ever adds a feature that sends data off your phone, this policy will be updated before that feature is released, and the effective date above will change.
