Mozilla's 2022 review of 32 mental health and prayer apps gave the warning label to 28 of them (initially 29, later revised) and concluded the category was 'worse than any other product category' for privacy and security - and that is the honest frame for this row rather than any Insight Timer-specific finding, of which none was confirmed. What a meditation app knows is unusual: session timing reveals sleep and anxiety patterns, and course selection reveals what a person is struggling with, because nobody starts a grief course casually. Most of these apps are not HIPAA covered entities, so the sensitivity of the data is inversely related to the protection it receives.

Terms
Arbitration
Not independently confirmed this pass — standard binding arbitration + class action waiver expected.
Data sharing
Same GENERAL MEDITATION-APP DATA-SHARING RISK CATEGORY documented for Calm and Headspace elsewhere in this tracker (Consumer Apps tab): independent research (Mozilla Foundation) has found meditation apps broadly collect mood/emotional-state data, in-app messages, and usage patterns that can reveal mental health status, often sharing this with advertisers/analytics partners. No Insight Timer-specific lawsuit independently confirmed this pass.
Fees and billing
Not itemized this pass.
Contacts
Privacy contact. Not recorded.
Legal notice. Not verified this pass. If publicly traded: SEC Form 10-K cover page gives the official corporate address; the Secretary of State business-entity search in the state of incorporation gives the registered agent, which must accept service. If private: the state registered agent is usually the only reliable route.
