Vyana — Privacy Policy
Vyana is built on a single principle: your inner life is yours.
What stays on your device
Everything about how you feel. Vyana stores your practice sessions, mood and stress check-ins, tasks, preferences and insights locally in your browser (IndexedDB and extension storage). This data is never transmitted, never sold, and never used to train any model. There is no account, no sign-in, and no server that holds it.
Vyana does not read the content of the pages you visit.
Optional, anonymous usage counts
Vyana can send anonymous, aggregate usage counts — for example "a breathing session was completed", "a break reminder was shown", or which practice was chosen. This exists only to tell us whether features are useful.
This is off by default. Nothing is transmitted unless you explicitly turn it on.
When it is on:
- We send anonymous, funnel-level events only.
- We never send your mood or stress values, your notes or tasks, your session history, the contents of any page you visit, or anything that identifies you.
- A random, non-identifying device id is used so counts are not double-tallied.
- Our processor is PostHog. Nothing is shared with any other third party.
You can change your mind at any time. Open Vyana's settings (Options) and toggle "Share anonymous usage counts" off. When it is off, Vyana makes no network requests at all.
We do not sell your data, use it for advertising, or use it to determine creditworthiness or lending eligibility.
Permissions and why
storage— save your sessions, tasks and settings locally.-
activeTab/scripting— draw the breathing overlay and the screen-colour filter on the page you are on, when you ask for them. -
alarms/notifications— deliver your opt-in break reminders and focus-session completion notice. -
idle— notice when you step away, so a break reminder is not counted against you while you are not at the machine. offscreen— play ambient audio.sidePanel— host the Vyana side panel.-
host access (
<all_urls>) — required so the breathing overlay, the colour filter and the floating Vyana bubble can appear on whichever site you are working on. Vyana does not read page content, and sends nothing about the pages you visit.
Things worth knowing
- Vyana replaces your browser's New Tab page with its calm home screen. This is part of the extension and applies while it is installed.
- Vyana shows a small floating bubble on web pages, with quick access to breathing, focus, tasks and colour. Its colour reflects a wellness state computed entirely on your device from signals Vyana already owns (time since a break, focus state, sessions today). It never inspects page content or keystrokes. You can dismiss it per-site or turn it off entirely.
Your control
- Analytics is off unless you switch it on, and can be switched off again at any time in Options.
- All your data can be exported or permanently deleted from Options.
- Uninstalling Vyana removes all local data.
Not medical advice
Vyana offers breathing and mindfulness practices for everyday stress. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat or cure any condition. If you are struggling, please speak to a qualified professional.

Questions, data requests, or anything else: vyana.ai.contact@gmail.com
We aim to respond within 7 days. If you want your data removed, note that Vyana holds nothing on a server — uninstalling the extension, or using Delete everything in Options, removes it all from your device.
