Privacy Policy
Effective November 4, 2026.
O'Shea Yoga respects your privacy. This explains what the O'Shea Yoga app keeps, why, and how to delete it.
Using the app without an account
You can use most of the app without an account: the Pause, Michele's short videos, the newsletter and the daily practice. Nothing about you is collected unless you ask to join the class library.
Your account
When you ask to join the class library, your name, email address and approval status are stored with Google Firebase, which runs the app's sign-in and database, so Michele can review and approve each request. Firebase emails you a link to confirm your address, and we keep whether you have confirmed it. We also keep whether Michele has invited you to message her. Your password is handled by Firebase and is never visible to us. Members never see who else has joined or anyone's contact details.
On your phone only
Your practice log, the name you choose for your greeting, where you stopped in each class and the posts you have read are saved only on your device. They are not sent to us.
The waiver
Before your first video, the app asks you to read O'Shea Yoga's waiver, type your name and tap I Agree. The name you type, the date, which version of the waiver it was and, if you are signed in, your email are stored with Google Firebase, so O'Shea Yoga keeps a record of your agreement. Only O'Shea Yoga's admins can see it.
Videos and posts
The Pause, Michele's short videos and the newsletter are stored with Google Firebase and open to everyone in the app. Full classes are shown only to approved members. A video an admin records or chooses in the app is uploaded there to share in the app.
Messages
Messaging is by invitation. If Michele has invited you to message her, your messages are stored with Google Firebase and seen only by you and O'Shea Yoga's admins. They stay in the app and are never sent to anyone's phone or email. An admin can turn messaging off at any time, and deleting your account deletes your messages.
What we do not do
We never sell or share your information. The app has no ads, no analytics and no tracking.
Deleting your account
You can delete your account at any time in the app: open the menu, tap My Account, then Delete my account. This removes your sign-in, your account record and your messages, and clears what the app kept on your phone. An admin can also remove access at any time.
Children
The app is not directed to children under 13.
