5. General Safety Information
5.1 Medical Consultation
Before using Breathe Balloon, a physician should clarify whether the breathing exercises offered are suitable for the person concerned. This applies in particular in the case of existing illnesses, health limitations, respiratory or cardiovascular diseases, and during pregnancy.
5.2 Physical Limits
Breathing exercises may only be carried out for as long as, and at an intensity at which, they feel comfortable. Particularly deep breaths, very slow or fast breathing rhythms, and holding the breath must not be forced.
5.3 Safe Environment
Breathing exercises should only be carried out in a safe position, preferably sitting or lying down.
The App must not be used in situations in which dizziness, reduced attention or other physical reactions could pose a danger to the user or others. These include, for example, driving, being in water, operating machinery, or activities with an increased risk of accident.
These examples are not exhaustive. Before every exercise, make sure that the environment is safe and that the exercise can be interrupted safely at any time.
5.4 Breathing Pauses and Breathing Rates
Longer breath-holding phases in particular, unusual breathing rates and excessively deep breathing can cause physical discomfort. Preset breathing rhythms should not be changed independently without prior professional consultation.
5.5 Warning Signs
If physical or psychological symptoms occur during a breathing exercise, for example dizziness, nausea, tingling, headache, racing heart, shortness of breath or feelings of anxiety, the exercise must be ended immediately and natural breathing resumed.
This list is not exhaustive. Even in the case of other unusual or unpleasant reactions, the exercise should be stopped without delay.
If symptoms persist or worsen, medical advice should be sought. In the case of severe symptoms, for example chest pain, fainting or pronounced shortness of breath, medical emergency help must be sought immediately (emergency number 112 in Germany).
5.6 No Medical Treatment
Breathe Balloon is to be used with regard to one’s personal physical limits and the safety information above. The App does not replace medical or therapeutic treatment.
The statutory liability rights of users remain unaffected.
6. Individual Breathing Exercises
6.1 The “Custom breathing” function allows users to set the duration of inhalation, exhalation and breath-holding phases themselves.
6.2 It is intended for carrying out, with the help of the App, a breathing rhythm previously agreed with a physician or breathing therapist.
6.3 Users should not try out or put together arbitrary breathing rhythms without professional consultation.
6.4 Breathe Balloon does not check individually set breathing patterns for their medical suitability, safety or effectiveness.
6.5 The App cannot determine whether a set rhythm suits the individual health situation or whether unknown health risks exist.
6.6 Users should adhere to the breathing times, numbers of repetitions and restrictions recommended by professionals. In the event of symptoms, the exercise must be ended immediately.
7. Use by Professionals and in a Professional Context
7.1 The versions of Breathe Balloon for iOS, iPadOS, macOS and watchOS obtained through the Apple App Store may also be used by breathing therapists, other professionals and institutions in the course of their professional activities, insofar as this is compatible with Apple’s applicable license terms.
7.2 Using the versions for iOS, iPadOS, macOS and watchOS to guide breathing exercises in paid individual or group sessions is generally permitted. DoPe Apps charges no additional license fee for this.
7.3 The Android version obtained through Google Play is intended exclusively for private, non-commercial use. Professional or commercial use is not permitted.
7.4 The permission for professional use of the versions for iOS, iPadOS, macOS and watchOS does not entitle anyone to pass on, resell, independently reproduce or commercially distribute the App or its protected content.
7.5 Professional use must not give the impression that DoPe Apps has made a professional recommendation for particular persons, approved a therapy, or agreed on a collaboration with the respective professional.
7.6 Professionals remain responsible for the selection, guidance and professional assessment of the breathing exercises they use.
7.7 Use in a professional context does not establish a medical intended purpose of the App by DoPe Apps and does not replace any statutory or professional prerequisites of the respective activity.
8. Health Data and Integration with Apple Health and Health Connect
8.1 Breathe Balloon offers an optional integration with Apple Health (iOS) and Health Connect (Android). Through it, completed breathing exercises can be saved in the respective health platform.
8.2 The App transmits only the data intended for this function to Apple Health or Health Connect. Existing health data is neither read nor analysed.
8.3 Transmission takes place only with the user’s corresponding permission. This permission can be withdrawn at any time in the settings of the operating system or the respective health platform.
8.4 Use of the health integration is voluntary and is not a prerequisite for carrying out the breathing exercises.
8.5 The saved entries serve exclusively to document breathing exercises that have been carried out. They do not constitute a medical diagnosis, an assessment of health status or a treatment recommendation.
8.6 The further processing and management of the saved data within Apple Health or Health Connect is governed by the applicable privacy and terms of use of the respective platforms. Further information on data processing by Breathe Balloon is contained in the separate privacy policy.
9. Availability, Technical Requirements and Updates

11.2 Breathe Balloon serves exclusively mindful breathing, relaxation and the promotion of general well-being. No particular health or therapeutic outcome is guaranteed.
11.3 The suitability of the breathing exercises offered depends on the users’ individual physical conditions. Breathe Balloon can neither detect nor assess existing or unknown illnesses or health risks. Users are therefore asked to have the suitability of the breathing exercises clarified medically before use and to observe the safety information.
11.4 Liability for other damage caused by slight negligence is excluded, unless material contractual obligations are breached. In the case of slightly negligent breach of material contractual obligations, liability for other damage is limited to the typical, foreseeable damage.
