Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 8, 2026

What Niyora Is

Niyora is a macOS menu bar application for guided breathing and mindfulness exercises. Your privacy is important to us, and we've designed the app to collect as little data as possible.

Data We Collect

Local data only. Niyora stores the following on your device:

App preferences (window size, mute state)
Session completion timestamps (for smart reminders)

This data never leaves your computer. We do not have access to it.

Oura Ring Integration (Optional)

If you choose to connect your Oura Ring account, Niyora accesses the following data through the Oura API:

Daily stress scores
Heart rate data
Readiness and sleep scores
Heart rate variability (HRV)

This data is:

Stored locally on your device only
Never uploaded to any server we operate
Never sold or shared with third parties
Used only to personalise your breathing session selection and show you health insights

You can disconnect your Oura account at any time from within the app, which removes all stored Oura data from your device.

Data We Do Not Collect

No personal information (name, email, address)
No analytics or usage tracking
No cookies or browser tracking
No advertising identifiers
No camera or microphone access

Third-Party Services

Oura API: When you connect your Oura account, your data is transmitted between Oura's servers and your device using OAuth 2.0 authentication. Niyora does not act as an intermediary — the connection is directly between your Mac and Oura's API. Oura's own privacy policy governs how they handle your data on their end.

Google Fonts: The app loads the Poppins font from Google Fonts. Google may log the request. No personal data is transmitted.

Data Retention

All data is stored locally on your device. Uninstalling Niyora removes all data. There is nothing to delete on our end because we never had it.

Children's Privacy

Niyora is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

Changes to This Policy

If we update this policy, we will post the new version here with an updated date. For significant changes, we will notify users through the app.
