Privacy Policy

1 Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information when you use Nexus Dream:

• Account Information: When you register, we collect your email address and a hashed version of your password. We never store your password in plain text.
• Usage Data: Information about how you interact with the platform — pages visited, features used, and session duration — collected to improve our services.
• Dream Journal & Tracker Data: Any dream logs, sleep data, or notes you voluntarily submit within the app. This data belongs to you.
• Device & Technical Information: IP address, browser type, operating system, and referring URLs, collected automatically for security and analytics purposes.
• Communications: If you contact us by email or through a support form, we retain that correspondence.

2 How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To create and manage your Nexus Dream account.
• To provide you with access to guided meditations, lucid dreaming guides, and sleep tracking features.
• To send you product updates, educational content, and announcements (with your consent).
• To analyze usage trends and improve the platform's performance and user experience.
• To detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent or unauthorized use of our services.
• To comply with applicable legal obligations.

We will never sell your personal data to third parties for advertising or marketing purposes.

3 Email Communications

You may opt out of marketing emails at any time by clicking the "Unsubscribe" link found at the bottom of any email we send. Please note that transactional emails — such as account confirmations or security alerts — are not subject to opt-out, as they are necessary for account operation.

We use industry-standard email service providers to deliver communications. Your email address is never shared with third parties for their own marketing use.

4 Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored on secure servers with the following protections in place:

• All data transmission uses HTTPS / TLS encryption.
• Passwords are hashed using industry-standard algorithms (bcrypt or equivalent) — we never store passwords in plain text.
• Access to user data is restricted to authorised personnel only, on a need-to-know basis.
• We perform regular security reviews and follow responsible disclosure practices.

No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we take every reasonable precaution, we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you in accordance with applicable law.

5 Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Nexus Dream uses the following types of cookies and local storage:

• Essential cookies: Required for the website to function properly (e.g., keeping you logged in).
• Analytics cookies: Used to understand how visitors interact with our site (e.g., page views, session duration). We use privacy-respecting analytics tools that anonymise IP addresses.
• Local storage: We may store lightweight data (such as your email reference) in your browser's local storage to personalise your experience. This data never leaves your device unless you submit it.

You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the site.

6 Sharing of Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share data only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers: Trusted third-party vendors who help us operate the platform (e.g., email delivery, analytics, hosting). They are bound by confidentiality agreements and may only use your data to perform services on our behalf.
• Legal requirements: If required by law, court order, or government authority, we may disclose information necessary to comply with legal obligations.
• Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, user data may be transferred. We will notify affected users before this occurs.
• Protection of rights: To protect the safety, rights, or property of Nexus Dream, our users, or the public.
