SleepSave — Terms of Service

1Overview of the Service

Sleep-Save is an iOS application available on iPhone and Apple Watch that uses your device's microphone and, on paid plans, Apple Watch sensors to detect when you have fallen asleep. Depending on your plan, the App can:

• Detect snoring via your iPhone or Apple Watch microphone (all plans)
• Automatically pause streaming playback on your television (all plans)
• Power off your television and control smart home devices including lights, smart plugs, and thermostats (paid plans only)
• Automatically restore your environment when you wake up, including resuming playback, turning lights back on, and returning your thermostat to its pre-sleep setting (paid plans, optional)

3Microphone Access and Audio Monitoring

3.1What We Listen For

The App requires permission to access the microphone on your iPhone and/or Apple Watch. Once you begin a Sleep-Save session, the App continuously listens for audio patterns consistent with snoring.

3.2Audio Data Handling

Sleep-Save is designed with your privacy as a priority:

• Audio is processed locally on your device in real time. Raw audio is never transmitted to our servers.
• We do not store, retain, or share recordings of your audio or ambient sounds.
• Aggregated, anonymized event data (e.g., time of snore detection, session duration) may be collected to improve App performance. This data cannot identify you personally.
• No audio recordings or audio files are stored on your device by the App.

Even though audio is processed locally, Apple may collect anonymized usage data through the App Store.

3.3Your Consent to Microphone Use

By enabling a Sleep-Save session, you expressly consent to the App accessing your device microphone solely for snore detection. You may revoke microphone access at any time through your device's Settings app. Revoking access will disable core App functionality.

3.4Apple Watch Integration

If you use Sleep-Save on your Apple Watch, the same microphone access and audio data handling terms apply. On paid plans, Apple Watch may also use motion and heart rate sensors to supplement sleep detection.

4Smart Home Device Control (Paid Plans Only)

4.1Scope of Device Control

On paid plans, Sleep-Save may issue commands to the following categories of devices connected to your smart home ecosystem:

• Television: The App may send a power-off command to your Smart TV and, if Wake-Up Restore is enabled, attempt to power it back on and resume playback.
• Smart Lights and Switches: The App may turn off lights/switches and restore their pre-sleep state upon wake-up (if enabled).
• Smart Plugs: The App may cut power to connected devices. You are solely responsible for ensuring devices connected to smart plugs can safely be powered off remotely.
• Smart Thermostat: The App may switch your thermostat to a "Sleep Mode" you configure and restore the previous setting upon wake-up (if enabled).

4.2Device Permissions and Configuration

You are responsible for granting permissions in your smart home platform (HomeKit, Alexa, Google Home, etc.), correctly configuring devices in the App, and ensuring compatibility with your integration platform.

4.3Wake-Up Restore Feature

This feature is optional. Wake detection is not infallible. The App may fail to detect waking or trigger restoration prematurely. You can always manually trigger or cancel restoration within the App.

4.4Third-Party Smart Home Platforms

Sleep-Save integrates with third-party platforms. Your use of those platforms is governed by their own terms and policies. We are not responsible for third-party platform outages or compatibility changes.

4.5Safety and Responsible Use

By enabling smart home features, you acknowledge that:

• You will not use the App to control devices where sudden changes could cause injury, damage, or safety risks.
• Medical devices, life-safety equipment, and security systems must never be controlled by Sleep-Save.
• You are solely responsible for the consequences of automated actions on devices you authorize.
• Sleep-Save is not liable for damage, loss, injury, or harm arising from device control.

5Automatic Pause and Playback Resume

5.1Auto-Pause (All Plans)

The App attempts to pause streaming content when snoring is detected. This depends on compatibility with your streaming apps and devices.

5.2Playback Resume (Paid Plans, Optional)

Resume capability is not guaranteed and depends on the streaming service, device, and network conditions.

5.3Compatibility Limitations

All pause/resume and smart home features are provided "as-is" with respect to third-party compatibility.

9.2Health Data and HealthKit

If you use Sleep-Save with Apple Watch on a paid plan, the App may access certain HealthKit data (such as motion and heart rate) solely to improve the accuracy of sleep and wake detection.

• We do not use HealthKit data for advertising, marketing, or other use-based data mining purposes unrelated to providing the App's health- and sleep-related features.
• We do not sell HealthKit data to advertising platforms, data brokers, or information resellers.
• We do not share HealthKit data with third parties without your explicit consent, except as strictly necessary to provide the App's core functionality.

You may revoke HealthKit permissions at any time in the iOS Health app or in Settings > Privacy & Security > Health.

9.3How We Use Information

• To provide snore detection, sleep detection, and smart home automation features.
• To operate, maintain, and improve the App, including through anonymized analytics.
• To manage your account, subscription status, and household member access.
• Audio is never recorded or transmitted off your device; all audio processing is local.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information only as follows:

• With service providers who perform functions on our behalf (e.g., anonymized analytics, crash reporting, cloud infrastructure), under confidentiality obligations.

• With the smart home or streaming platforms you connect (e.g., HomeKit, Alexa, Google Home), solely to execute the automations you configure.
• Where required by law, regulation, legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Sleep Save LLC, our users, or others.
• In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to continued protection of your information under a policy at least as protective as this one.

We retain account information for as long as your account remains active and as needed to comply with legal, tax, and accounting obligations. Aggregated, anonymized usage data may be retained indefinitely as it cannot identify you.
