Plain-language summary. Sensia collects only the data needed to run the app: your symptom logs, anonymous sign-in credentials, and basic usage information. We do not sell your data, share it for advertising, or use it to train AI models. You can delete your data at any time.

1. Who we are

Sensia IBS Hypnotherapy ("Sensia," "we," "our," or "the app") is a self-guided wellness application for iOS. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect personal information when you use Sensia and any related services.

Sensia provides guided hypnotherapy audio sessions and symptom-tracking tools for informational and self-management purposes only. It is not a medical device, has not been evaluated by the TGA, FDA, or equivalent regulatory bodies, and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

5.3 Legal disclosures

We may disclose data if required to do so by law, court order, or a legitimate government request, or if we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, safety, or property of Sensia, our users, or others.

5.4 Business transfers

If Sensia is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred to a successor entity. Any such successor would be required to honour the commitments in this Privacy Policy, and we will notify you of material changes before they take effect.

6. Health data

We treat all symptom logs, check-in responses, and progress information you enter as sensitive health data and apply additional safeguards accordingly:

If Sensia ever introduces optional integrations with Apple HealthKit or other health platforms in the future, we will request your explicit permission before accessing any such data and will update this policy to describe exactly what is accessed and why.

7. Data storage and security

Your account and health data is stored on Supabase infrastructure (hosted on AWS), which provides encryption in transit (TLS) and encryption at rest. We apply reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational safeguards to protect your information.

No system can guarantee 100 per cent security. In the event of a data breach that requires notification under applicable law, we will notify affected users promptly.
