Meditation App Provisions I Check First

Meditation apps collect highly sensitive mental health data. These provisions reveal how your emotional states, sleep patterns, and personal reflections are used.

Mental Health Data Collection

High Risk

Apps track your mood, anxiety levels, stress patterns, and emotional states. This sensitive mental health data may be shared with advertisers or used for profiling.

Look for: "We collect information about your emotional wellbeing, mood patterns, and mental health indicators to personalize content and improve our services."

Audio Content Licensing Limitations

High Risk

Meditations and sleep stories can be removed without notice. Favorite content may disappear, and you don't own downloads—only temporary access rights.

Look for: "Content may be modified, removed, or discontinued at any time. Downloaded content expires when subscription ends. No ownership rights granted."

Wellness Effectiveness Disclaimers

High Risk

Apps disclaim any guarantee their meditations improve mental health. Despite marketing claims, terms protect them from liability if you don't experience benefits.

Look for: "Our services are for informational purposes only. We make no claims regarding health benefits. Not a substitute for professional mental health treatment."

Personal Reflection Data Usage

High Risk

Journaling entries, gratitude notes, and check-in responses reveal deeply personal thoughts. This data may be analyzed, stored indefinitely, or used for AI training.

Look for: "User-generated content including journal entries and reflections may be analyzed to improve our services and develop new features."

Sleep & Biometric Tracking

High Risk

Sleep sounds and stories integrate with health devices, collecting sleep quality, heart rate, and breathing patterns—biometric data that reveals health conditions.

Look for: "We may access data from connected devices including sleep patterns, heart rate variability, and other health metrics through HealthKit or similar services."

Free Trial Auto-Conversion

Medium Risk

Free trials auto-convert to expensive annual subscriptions. Cancellation must happen days before trial ends, and refunds are typically denied.

Look for: "Your free trial will automatically convert to a paid subscription. Cancel at least 24 hours before trial ends to avoid charges. Subscriptions are non-refundable."
