Nodus Drift privacy

Nodus Drift is a free native ambient sound mixer and meditation companion for iPhone and iPad, maintained by Jorge Pérez Burgueño. The app does not create accounts, collect or transmit personal information to the developer, sell or share app data, or include advertising, tracking, remote analytics, subscriptions or in-app purchases.

Effective date: 9 October 2026. Applies to Nodus Drift 0.1.0 for iPhone and iPad.

Data stays on your device

Nodus Drift stores your selected sounds, volume settings, favorites, saved mixes, local usage counts and preferences in the app’s private storage on your device. Usage counts are used only to sort your sounds by Most used. This information is not sent to the developer or to an analytics service. Deleting the app removes its local container. Device backups may retain app data according to your Apple backup settings.

Offline audio and permissions

All sound recordings are bundled with the app. Noise and binaural tones are generated on your device. Playback and meditation do not need a network connection or a companion desktop app. Nodus Drift requests no microphone, camera, location, photo-library, contacts, local-network or notification access. Audio may continue in the background when you choose to play a soundscape.

External links and support

The app includes links to the Nodus Research website, the Nodus issue tracker and the original Moodist repository. A website is opened only when you choose its link. The website or service you visit then handles that visit under its own privacy terms. If you send a support request or report an issue, the information you choose to send is handled by the service you use. The developer cannot access or delete your on-device mixes or preferences.

Apple services and beta testing

Apple separately handles App Store downloads, system diagnostics and TestFlight under its own policies. During a TestFlight beta, Apple may provide the developer with crash reports, beta-testing details and feedback that you submit through TestFlight. This is separate from Nodus Drift’s on-device operation; the app contains no analytics or tracking SDK.

Contact and policy changes

For support, use the Nodus Research issue tracker. For a private security or privacy concern, use the project’s private reporting channel. Material changes to this policy will be published on this page with a new effective date. The companion Nodus desktop app and Nodus Presenter have separate privacy policies for their different features.
