Privacy policy
This page explains which data LALANA processes, why, where it is hosted, how long it is kept and how to retrieve or delete it. Effective date: 1 November 2026, updated on 8 November 2026 (website waiting list, replies to our e-mails, information attached to the mailing list).
Data controller
favo-it, 17 rue Gustave Leveillé, 94320 Thiais, France. Contact: hello@lalana.favo-it.com. Data protection officer: Simon Rabarijaona.
Data we process
- Account: an anonymous identifier is created on first launch; it links your data to your device, with no name or e-mail. If you buy Premium, you sign in with Apple, Google or an e-mail address: that identity is kept by the authentication service (Firebase Authentication) and attached to your account; it is not copied into our other data.
- Practice: sessions played (date, time listened), practice days, favourites, paths in progress and preferences (language, voice, default length, soundscape volume).
- Feelings: a 1 to 5 rating and an optional note of at most 280 characters, with the session concerned. This information may reveal health-related details: it is saved only if you consent (see below).
- Subscription: the status and end date of your Premium subscription, managed with RevenueCat. We never receive your card or payment details, which are handled by Apple or Google.
- Analytics: anonymous usage statistics and crash reports (Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics), only if you accept them.
- Technical logs: for each request, our servers record the method, the requested address, the response code, the duration and a random trace number. The IP address is seen by the host in its access logs.
- Contact messages: if you write to us from the app (Settings › Contact us), we receive your message, its topic, your device platform and, if you enter it, your e-mail address so we can reply. None of this is stored by our servers: the message is forwarded by e-mail to our team and then kept in its mailbox.
- Replies to our e-mails: if you reply to an e-mail from LALANA (waiting list, news and offers), we receive your e-mail address and your message in our team's mailbox. They are used only to read and answer you and to improve the app. Please do not include details about your health.
- On your device: preferences and consent choices, sessions downloaded for offline listening (audio and playback information), and practice reminders scheduled locally after your approval. This data stays on the device; uninstalling the app removes it.
Data we do not collect
- No advertising in the app, no advertising or third-party trackers, no advertising identifier, no behavioural profile. News and offers e-mails are only sent with your consent (see “News and offers e-mails”).
- No location, contacts, calendar, photos, microphone or camera.
- No sale of data and no sharing with advertisers or data brokers.
- Permissions requested: notifications, only if you turn on practice reminders (scheduled on the device), and background audio playback so the session keeps playing with the screen locked. On iPhone, access to Health (write-only), only if you turn on "Save to Health": LALANA adds the length of your sessions as mindful minutes, reads no Health data and shares it with no one.
Purposes and legal bases
- Providing the service, syncing your progress and preferences, allowing offline listening: performance of a contract.
- Managing your Premium subscription: performance of a contract.
- Recording your feelings and building the weekly summary: your explicit consent (Article 9 GDPR).
- Measuring audience anonymously: your consent.
- Sending you LALANA news and offers by e-mail: your consent, optional and separate from creating the account, buying Premium and accepting the terms.
- Letting you know when the app launches, then sending you its news and offers, if you join the website waiting list: your consent.
- Replying to your contact messages: legitimate interest (answering your request).
- Securing the service and diagnosing outages (technical logs): legitimate interest.
News and offers e-mails
If you have a linked account (Apple, Google or e-mail), the app offers, when you create the account, once at the end of a session, and then at any time in Settings, to receive LALANA news and offers by e-mail. This is optional, the box is unticked by default, and declining has no effect on the app or your subscription. If you agree, we send you a confirmation e-mail; once you click the link, your account e-mail address is added to the mailing list kept at Brevo. We attach your subscription status (subscriber or not, monthly or annual plan, trial in progress, end date), so we do not offer you something you already have, and a single piece of practice information: whether you have completed the "Poser son attention" discovery path, so we can suggest what comes next at the right time. No other practice data, and no feelings, are sent. If you withdraw your consent, this information is cleared from the list; if you delete your account, your contact is deleted at Brevo. You can withdraw your consent at any time, in Settings or through the unsubscribe link in every e-mail; the withdrawal is reflected in the app. Deleting your account removes you from the list.
Website waiting list
On the website's "Waiting list" page, you can leave your e-mail address to be told when the app launches, then receive its news and offers. The consent box is never ticked in advance. We first send you a confirmation e-mail: your address is only added to the list, kept by Brevo, after you click. Together with it we store, if present, the parameters of the link that brought you (source, medium, campaign, ad variant and keyword, for example "instagram"), as well as the type of device inferred from your browser (iPhone, Android or unknown), to know which campaigns work and point you to the right store at launch; no cookie or tracker is used. To limit abuse, a non-reversible fingerprint of your IP address is kept for one hour on the website server. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every e-mail.
Your feelings (health data)
Consent for feelings is requested separately, the first time the app offers to record a feeling, never at launch. Declining does not prevent any session: a feeling received is then ignored. You can withdraw consent at any time in Settings › My practice; the app then offers to delete the feelings already saved. Without consent, no feeling average is computed. The weekly-summary feeling sentence has its own setting, off by default. The feeling offered after a breathing exercise or a free meditation follows the same rules. This processing is covered by a data protection impact assessment.
Analytics
It is off until you accept it, and you can change your mind in settings, which resets the audience data. Only these events are measured: screens viewed (screen name, no identifier), session completed (type and minutes), Premium screen shown, purchase started, succeeded or cancelled, purchases restored, locked content tapped, reminders turned on, introduction finished or skipped, offline download (number of sessions). We never send your feelings, your notes, your e-mail or your account identifier, and we do not use the advertising identifier.
Processors, hosting and transfers
- Google (Google Cloud, Firebase): API hosting (Cloud Run, Belgium,
europe-west1), database (Firestore), authentication and, if you accept it, Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics. Production database region: European Union (eur3multi-region). - RevenueCat: subscription management, from your account identifier and purchase status.
- Brevo: sending the e-mail notice before an inactive account is deleted (account e-mail address and deletion date; no practice or feelings data); forwarding to our team the messages sent from the contact form (message, topic, optional reply address); if you consent, keeping the mailing list for news and offers e-mails (account e-mail address, subscription status and completion of the discovery path, see above) and sending those e-mails; keeping the website waiting list (e-mail address, parameters of the originating link and device type) and sending its e-mails.
- Shorebird: delivery of app fixes without a new store release. It receives the app version, the platform, the processor architecture and a random identifier not linked to your account.
- OVH: hosting of the website and its pages; it processes the IP address and browser information in its access logs.
- Apple and Google: sign-in and subscription payment, under their own terms.
Some of these providers may process data outside the European Union; transfers are covered by appropriate safeguards.
Security
- Exchanges between the app and our servers are encrypted (HTTPS).
- Audio file addresses are signed and only valid for a short time.
- Each account can only access its own data.
- In the event of a data breach that poses a risk to you, we notify the people concerned and the competent authority within the legal deadlines.
Retention
- Progress, favourites, preferences, practice journal, feelings and subscription: for as long as your account exists. You can delete them at any time (see your rights); feelings can be deleted separately.
- Inactive anonymous account: if you do not open the app for 12 months, the anonymous account and all its data are deleted automatically.
- Linked account (Apple, Google or e-mail) inactive: after 24 months without opening the app, we write to the account address 30 days before deletion; if you open the app in the meantime, nothing is deleted. Otherwise the account and all its data are deleted. An active subscription prevents any deletion.
- Technical playback information (session played, progress): 30 days.
- News and offers e-mails: your address stays on the mailing list until you withdraw your consent, or 3 years after your last interaction with one of our e-mails, then it is removed.
- Website waiting list: like news and offers e-mails, until you unsubscribe or 3 years after your last interaction with one of our e-mails; a sign-up that is never confirmed is removed by Brevo. IP address fingerprint: 1 hour.
- Contact messages: kept in our team's mailbox while we handle your request, then deleted at the latest 12 months after the last exchange. Our server does not keep them.
- Replies to our e-mails: deleted from our team's mailbox at the latest 1 month after they are received.
- Technical logs (Google Cloud host): 30 days.
- Analytics: Firebase Analytics, only if you have accepted it: events kept for 2 months.
Your rights
You have the rights of access, rectification, erasure, portability, objection and restriction, and you can withdraw your consents at any time.
- Access and portability: "Export my data" in settings provides a JSON file (progress, favourites, preferences, feelings, practice journal, subscription).
- Erasure: deleting your account, in settings or from the Delete my account page, erases the data on our servers and then your authentication identity, and the local data on the device.
- Data on your device: uninstalling the app erases it.
- Other requests: write to hello@lalana.favo-it.com. We reply within 30 days.
You may also lodge a complaint with the CNIL (cnil.fr) or your local data protection authority.
Minors
LALANA is not intended for children: it is reserved for people aged 18 and over, and we do not knowingly collect data about minors. If we learn that an account belongs to a minor, we delete it.
Users in Belgium, Luxembourg and Switzerland
The European regulation (GDPR) applies in Belgium and Luxembourg; you can contact the data protection authority of your country. In Switzerland, the Federal Act on Data Protection also applies. Quebec and the rest of Canada will be covered when they open.
Changes
This policy may change; the date of the last update appears at the top of the page and, for a significant change, the app informs you.
