Privacy Policy - Solaris

This Privacy Policy describes how Solaris ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our desktop application (the "App").

1. Information We Collect

A. Google Fit Data

Solaris requests access to your Google Fit data to provide personalized health and wellness insights. Specifically, we access:

Sleep Data: Includes sleep duration, start and end times, and sleep sessions.

We access this data using the Google Fit API.

B. Location Data

To accurately calculate sunrise, sunset, and solar phases for your specific timezone, the App may collect your approximate or precise location data. This is used strictly locally to adjust monitor settings and fetch current weather data.

C. Device Information

We may collect technical information about your device, such as your operating system version and internet connectivity status, to ensure the App functions correctly.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information collected solely to provide the core functionality of the App:

Google Fit Sleep Data: We access and analyze your historical and recent sleep session data specifically to construct an accurate, dynamic sleep schedule (regime). This localized data analysis is essential for the App’s core functionality: the automated synchronization of your monitor’s brightness and color temperature with your physiological circadian rhythm. By mapping display transitions to your actual sleep-wake patterns, Solaris provides a personalized, health-centric viewing experience that supports natural circadian balance and ocular comfort.
Location Data: To calculate accurate sun paths and circadian rhythms based on your geographic location, and to fetch relevant weather data to dynamically adjust screen brightness.

We do NOT:

Share your Google Fit data with third parties for advertising or marketing.
Use your Google Fit data for any purpose other than providing and improving the core features of the App explicitly disclosed to you (i.e., the automated regulation of monitor settings based on your sleep patterns).
Store your raw Google Fit data on our external servers; data is cached locally on your device for performance and offline access.

3. Google API Services User Data Policy

Solaris’s use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

We comply with the following principles:

Limited Use: We only use Google Fit data to provide or improve the user experience or features that are prominent in the App's interface.
Privacy and Security: We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data.
Transparency: We provide clear and accurate information about the data we access and how we use it.

4. Data Storage and Security

Local Storage: Your Google Fit data is stored locally on your device. We use secure storage mechanisms to prevent unauthorized access.
Limited Third-Party Services: We do not sell or trade your personal data. However, your approximate location may be sent securely and anonymously to third-party weather APIs solely to fetch current weather conditions necessary for the App's core functionality.

5. Your Rights and Choices

Access and Control: You can connect or disconnect your Google Fit account at any time through the App's settings.
Data Management: When you disconnect Google Fit, previously cached health data may remain locally on your device for your convenience and history. All locally cached data is removed when the App is uninstalled from your Windows device. You can also revoke our access to your data at any time via your Google Account security settings.

6. Children's Privacy

The App is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy within the App.
