Version: v0.2

Effective Date: May 22, 2026

Last Updated: May 22, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how MOBIUS ENTERTAINMENT PTE. LTD. ("VelaSleep," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, stores, and protects personal information when you use the VelaSleep mobile application, websites, and related services (collectively, the "Services").

VelaSleep is an AI sleep companion app that helps users wind down, reflect, and play sleep-supportive audio experiences. VelaSleep is not a medical, mental health, diagnostic, therapeutic, emergency, or crisis service.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or our privacy practices, contact us at: support@mobiusplay.com.


1. Key Privacy Commitments

Here are the key things to know:

  • We do not save your raw voice recordings.
  • When you speak to Vela, your voice may be processed into text by us or our speech recognition service providers so Vela can understand and respond to you.
  • We may save conversation transcripts, chat history, sleep session activity, and preferences to your account to provide history, account sync, and personalization.
  • We may create a personalization profile, or "Vela memory," to help Vela remember what tends to help you wind down.
  • We do not use your private conversations with Vela to train AI models unless you give us permission.
  • You can clear your chat history or delete your account in the App.
  • When you delete your account, we delete or de-identify personal information associated with your account, including your conversation history and Vela memory, except where limited retention is required for legal, security, fraud prevention, accounting, dispute resolution, or compliance purposes.
  • We do not sell your personal information or share your conversation content for advertising or cross-context behavioral advertising.
  • Vela is an AI sleep companion, not a medical, mental health, emergency, or crisis service.

2. Who Can Use VelaSleep

VelaSleep is intended for users who are 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18.

If we learn that we have collected personal information from a user under 18, we will take steps to delete it. If you believe someone under 18 has provided us with personal information, please contact us at support@mobiusplay.com.

We may implement age verification or age assurance mechanisms to enforce this requirement.


3. Personal Information We Collect

Depending on how you use the Services, we may collect the following categories of personal information.

3.1 Account Information

When you create or manage an account, we may collect information such as:

  • name or display name;
  • email address;
  • authentication provider, such as Apple, Google, or email;
  • account identifiers;
  • profile image or avatar, if you choose to provide one;
  • language and region settings; and
  • account status, such as free, trial, or premium.

3.2 Voice Processing Data

If you use voice features, your microphone audio may be processed in real time to create a text transcript so that Vela can understand and respond to you.

We do not save raw voice recordings. Voice audio may be temporarily processed by us or by third-party speech recognition service providers to provide voice interaction features. These service providers are contractually required to process audio data only according to our instructions, not retain raw audio beyond the time needed to generate a transcript, and not use your audio data for training their own models. We do not store raw voice recordings as part of your account history.

3.3 Conversation Data

We may collect and save:

  • text messages you type;
  • transcripts created from your voice input;
  • Vela's responses;
  • conversation history;
  • sleep session activity, such as when a session starts, ends, or triggers sleep-supportive audio; and
  • feedback or support messages you send to us.

3.4 Personalization Profile and Vela Memory

To make Vela more helpful over time, we may create a personalization profile, or "Vela memory," based on your interactions. This may include:

  • sleep preferences, such as how quickly you typically fall asleep;
  • calming routines and relaxation preferences;
  • content preferences, such as whether you prefer guided relaxation or quiet background sounds;
  • preferred voice or companion style;
  • stress level context you choose to share;
  • topics or approaches that help you wind down;
  • topics or approaches that do not help you; and
  • other preferences you choose to share with Vela.

3.5 Wellness and Sleep-Related Information

During your conversations with Vela, including the initial personalization setup, Vela may ask you about sleep habits, stress levels, relaxation preferences, and similar topics to personalize your experience. You may also voluntarily share additional sleep, mood, or wellness-related information.

We do not require you to answer any specific question. If you choose not to respond, Vela will skip that topic, and the Services will continue to function using default settings.

Important: We do not treat information collected through Vela conversations as medical or diagnostic data. We use it only as described in this Privacy Policy, such as to provide AI sleep companion functionality, personalize your experience, support safety features, and operate the Services. VelaSleep does not use this information to provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, therapy, or emergency support. We strictly avoid medical or diagnostic language in all interactions.

In certain U.S. states, sleep and wellness-related information may be classified as "sensitive personal information" or "consumer health data" under applicable law. For additional information about your rights regarding such data, please see Section 15 (Information for California Residents) and Section 16 (Consumer Health Data — U.S. State Supplement) below.

3.6 Subscription and Purchase Information

If you purchase a subscription or other paid feature, payment processing may be handled by Apple, Google, Stripe, or another payment provider. We may receive limited information needed to provide and manage your subscription, such as:

  • product or subscription identifier;
  • subscription status;
  • renewal or expiration date;
  • purchase platform; and
  • transaction or receipt identifiers.

We do not receive or store your full payment card number from app store or payment providers.

3.7 Device, Usage, Analytics, and Diagnostics Data

We may collect technical and usage information such as:

  • device type, operating system, and app version;
  • IP address and approximate location derived from IP address;
  • feature usage and interaction events;
  • performance data;
  • crash logs and error reports;
  • network and connection information; and
  • notification tokens, if you enable push notifications.

4. How We Use Personal Information

We use personal information to:

  • provide, operate, maintain, and improve the Services;
  • process voice input into text so Vela can respond;
  • generate AI responses and sleep-supportive interactions;
  • save and display conversation history;
  • sync your account across devices;
  • personalize future sessions through Vela memory;
  • play and recommend sleep-supportive audio experiences;
  • manage subscriptions, trials, and account status;
  • provide customer support;
  • send service-related notices, security alerts, and product updates;
  • send optional marketing communications if permitted by law and your choices;
  • analyze performance, fix bugs, and improve reliability;
  • detect, prevent, and respond to fraud, abuse, security incidents, and misuse;
  • comply with legal obligations; and
  • enforce our terms, policies, and rights.

5. Voice and Audio Processing

VelaSleep uses your microphone only when you choose to speak to Vela or enable voice features.

When you speak to Vela, your voice may be processed in real time to create a text transcript. This transcript helps Vela understand your request and respond to you.

We do not save raw voice recordings. Voice audio may be processed temporarily by us or by third-party speech recognition service providers, but raw voice recordings are not stored in your account history. Our speech recognition service providers are contractually prohibited from retaining raw audio beyond the time required to process your request and from using your audio data to train their own models.

You can manage microphone access through your device settings.


6. Conversations, Transcripts, and Chat History

We may save your text messages, voice transcripts, Vela's responses, and sleep session activity in your account. We use this information to provide conversation history, account sync, continuity between sessions, safety features, and personalization.

You can clear your chat history in the App. Clearing chat history may remove past conversations from your account experience, but it may not remove limited records that we are required or permitted to retain for legal, security, fraud prevention, accounting, dispute resolution, or compliance purposes.


7. Personalization and Vela Memory

Vela may become more personalized over time based on your interactions. We may create Vela memory to help Vela remember preferences and patterns that may make future sleep sessions more helpful.

Vela memory may include your sleep preferences, calming routines, content preferences, companion style preferences, and what has or has not helped you in past sessions.

You can delete your account in the App. Account deletion deletes or de-identifies Vela memory associated with that account, except where limited retention is required for legal, security, fraud prevention, accounting, dispute resolution, or compliance purposes.

We may also provide additional controls to reset or manage personalization.


8. AI Service Providers and Third-Party Data Processing

We use third-party service providers to help us provide the Services. These may include providers for:

  • cloud hosting and storage;
  • speech recognition (ASR);
  • AI language model processing;
  • text-to-speech (TTS) or voice generation;
  • analytics and product measurement;
  • crash reporting and diagnostics;
  • authentication;
  • customer support;
  • payments and subscription management;
  • email and service communications; and
  • security, fraud prevention, and compliance.

8.1 AI Language Model Providers

Conversation data — subject to data minimization measures — may be transmitted to third-party AI language model providers solely to generate conversational responses within the app's core functionality. We may use more than one AI language model provider, including as fallback when a primary provider is unavailable.

These providers are contractually required to:

  1. process your data only in accordance with our agreements and solely for the purpose of providing the AI language model service to us;
  2. not use your data for training their own AI models or for any other purpose;
  3. implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures;
  4. delete or return your data upon termination of the service relationship; and
  5. provide the same or equivalent protection of user data as stated in this Privacy Policy.

8.2 Speech Recognition and Voice Generation Providers

Voice audio may be temporarily processed by third-party speech recognition providers to convert your speech into text, and text may be processed by third-party voice generation providers to produce Vela's spoken responses. These providers are subject to the same contractual protections described above.

8.3 Advertising and Data Sharing

We do not share your conversation content with advertisers for advertising or cross-context behavioral advertising.

We may disclose personal information if required by law or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, safety, and security of VelaSleep, our users, or others.


9. Model Training and Service Improvement

We do not use your raw voice recordings to train AI models.

We do not use your private conversations with Vela to train AI models unless you give us permission. If we offer optional programs to help improve Vela using conversation data, we will explain what data is used and ask for your consent where required.

We may use aggregated, de-identified, or anonymized information to understand and improve the Services, provided that this information does not reasonably identify you.


10. Subscriptions and Payments

Subscriptions, free trials, renewals, cancellations, and refunds may be handled by the applicable app store or payment provider, such as Apple, Google, or Stripe.

Deleting your VelaSleep account does not automatically cancel an active subscription purchased through an app store or payment provider. You should manage or cancel your subscription through the platform where you purchased it.

We may process limited subscription information to provide paid features, verify access, prevent fraud, and comply with accounting and legal obligations.


11. Analytics, Diagnostics, and Notifications

We may use analytics and diagnostics tools to understand how the Services are used, improve performance, fix bugs, and maintain reliability.

If you enable push notifications, we may process a notification token to send service-related notifications, sleep reminders, subscription notices, or other messages according to your settings. You can manage push notifications through the App or your device settings.

We do not use conversation content for advertising.


12. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We may use cookies, web beacons, device identifiers, and similar technologies on our websites and in the App to collect usage information, provide analytics, and support functionality.

We do not use cookies or similar technologies to serve behavioral advertising within the App. If we use analytics SDKs or similar tools, these tools collect technical and usage data as described in Section 3.7 and are subject to our data processing agreements.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser or device settings, or through any cookie consent tool we provide on our websites.


13. How Long We Keep Information

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Our general retention practices are:

  • Raw voice recordings: not saved.
  • Conversation transcripts and chat history: retained until you clear them, delete your account, or we no longer need them to provide the Services.
  • Vela memory and personalization profile: retained until you delete your account or we no longer need them to provide personalization.
  • Subscription and transaction records: retained as needed for subscription management, accounting, tax, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, and legal compliance.
  • Diagnostics, security, and operational logs: retained for a limited period needed to operate, secure, debug, and improve the Services.
  • Aggregated, de-identified, or anonymized information: may be retained for analytics, research, and service improvement where it does not reasonably identify you.

When retention is no longer necessary, we delete, de-identify, or anonymize personal information according to our data retention practices and applicable law.


14. Data Breach Notification

In the event of a security breach resulting in unauthorized access to, or accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, or disclosure of your personal information, we will notify affected users and applicable regulatory authorities as required by applicable law. We will provide such notification within the timeframes required by applicable law and will include information about the nature of the breach, the data affected, and the steps we are taking in response.
