Subject matter of the contract and scope of services
Description of the functionality
The App provides personalized, adaptive sound environments to help you relax, concentrate, and sleep. At the start you will be offered a generic sound environment. You then have the option to make various entries to personalize your sound. The App reacts to inputs such as time of day, weather, heart rate and location.
For your personalized sound environment there are currently the following modes:
relax mode
focus mode
On the Go mode
sleep mode
Reports and highlights
We will inform you periodically, usually once a week, about your weekly highlights when using the App and show you statistical analyses.
Personalization
You can grant the following authorizations for personalization:
Location data; the App can be granted access to your location data. The App may have to use the GPS, Wifi, mobile network or sensors of your device.
Health data; the App can be granted access to Apple Health. It uses your heart rate and your movements to personalize your sound environment. Please note that a personalized sound environment requires third-party hardware, such as an Apple Watch to measure your heart rate. The currently supported devices are displayed in the App.
Modification of the offer
