Last Updated July 13, 2023 This Privacy Policy explains how MindLax (“we”) collects, uses, and discloses information about you when you access or use our website, mobile application, and other online products and services (collectively, the "Services"), and when you contact our customer service team, engage with us on social media, or otherwise interact with us. This Privacy Policy does not apply to subscription eligibility information we receive from and process on behalf of our enterprise business customers and partners (defined as "Customer Data" in the applicable agreement), but this Privacy Policy does apply to your use of the Services, regardless of your subscription or account type. Additional information for individuals in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland can be found at the end of this Privacy Policy, in the section “Information for Individuals in Switzerland, UK and the EEA”. We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the date at the top of the policy and, in some cases, we may provide you with additional notice (such as adding a statement to our website homepage or sending you a notification). We encourage you to review the Privacy Policy whenever you access the Services or otherwise interact with us to stay informed about our information practices and the choices available to you. 

Collection of Information Information You Provide to Us We collect information when you register for an account, participate in interactive features (like by submitting a meditation or sleep rating or completing a check-in), fill out a form or a survey, participate in a contest or promotion, make a purchase, communicate with us via social media sites, request customer support, comment on our blog, leave a review, or otherwise communicate with us.  

The information you may provide includes your name, email, password, street address, payment method information, goals, previous meditation or sleep experience, moods and reflections you provide during check-ins, feedback and survey responses, health and physiology (including your breathing and heart rate, which will be used to calculate your sleep stages and sleep rate), and other information about you included within your messages to us or otherwise provided via the Services.

You may also choose to provide us with information related to your health or other matters when you provide feedback on our Services or otherwise correspond with us. Some users also provide health-related information in connection with providing feedback or other messages to us, and we process that information consistent with the purpose for which it was provided. 

Other Information About Your Use of the Services When you use our Services, we collect the following information about you:
