SleepSave — Privacy Policy

How we collect, use, and protect your

This Privacy Policy explains how Sleep-Save (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects your information when you use the Sleep-Save mobile application (“App”) on iPhone and Apple Watch, including the free Snore Detection feature and the paid Smart Home Integration features available under the Individual and Household plans.

This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and forms part of our Terms of Service. By using the App, you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

Audio stays on your device

Snore detection is processed locally in real time. Raw audio is never transmitted to our servers or stored.

We don’t sell your data

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share data only as needed to operate the App, as described below.

You stay in control

You can revoke microphone access, manage device permissions, and delete your account at any time.

1Information We Collect

The information we collect depends on your plan and which features you enable. We aim to collect only what is necessary to provide the App’s functionality.

Category What it includes Purpose
Account information Email address and account credentials you provide at registration. Create and secure your account; identify your plan.
Audio patterns Acoustic patterns consistent with snoring, analyzed on-device. Detect snoring to trigger pause and automation actions.
Sleep & sensor data Apple Watch motion and heart-rate signals (paid plans, via HealthKit). Improve sleep and wake detection accuracy.
Device control data Which devices you authorize and the commands/states issued during a session. Power off and restore your designated smart home devices.
Usage & analytics Aggregated, anonymized event data (e.g., detection times, session duration). Monitor and improve App performance and reliability.
We do not knowingly collect more data than is needed to deliver the features you have enabled. Smart home and sensor data are only collected on paid plans where those features are active.

2Audio Data and Microphone

With your permission, the App accesses the microphone on your iPhone and/or Apple Watch to listen for audio patterns consistent with snoring during an active Sleep-Save session.

  • Local processing. Audio is processed locally on your device in real time. Raw audio is never transmitted to our servers.
  • No recordings. We do not store, retain, or share recordings of your audio or ambient sounds, and no audio files are saved on your device by the App.
  • No speech analysis. The App does not listen for, record, transcribe, or analyze speech, conversations, or any audio content beyond acoustic patterns associated with snoring.
  • Anonymized events only. Aggregated, anonymized event data (such as the time of a snore detection or session duration) may be collected and cannot identify you personally.
Your consent & control By starting a session you consent to microphone access solely for snore detection. You may revoke microphone access at any time in your device’s Settings app; doing so will disable core App functionality.

3Apple Watch and Health Sensors

On paid plans, if you use Sleep-Save on Apple Watch, the App may use motion and heart-rate sensors to supplement sleep and wake detection. Access to this data is subject to Apple’s HealthKit terms and your device permissions.

Microphone data from Apple Watch is processed locally on the watch and is not transmitted externally. We use sensor signals only to improve detection accuracy and do not use HealthKit data for advertising.

4Smart Home and Device Data

On paid plans, the App interacts with smart home devices you authorize — such as your television, smart lights and switches, smart plugs, and thermostat — to power them off when you fall asleep and, with Wake-Up Restore enabled, return them to their pre-sleep state.

To do this, we process:

  • The list of devices you designate for Sleep-Save to control.
  • Device state recorded at the start of a session (power status, brightness, thermostat setting, and playback position where supported).
  • The commands issued during automation and Wake-Up Restore.
You control which devices are connected You are responsible for choosing which devices Sleep-Save may control and for granting permissions within your smart home platform. Please review the safety guidance in our Terms of Service before enabling automated device control.

5How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide core functionality — snore detection, auto-pause, smart home control, and Wake-Up Restore.
  • Authenticate your account and determine your plan’s available features.
  • Maintain, troubleshoot, and improve the performance and reliability of the App.
  • Communicate with you about your account, updates, and support requests.
  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.

We do not use your audio content or HealthKit data for advertising or sell it to third parties.

6How We Share Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share information only in the limited circumstances below:

  • Apple (billing). Paid subscriptions are processed through the Apple App Store. Apple handles your payment; we do not collect or store your payment details.
  • Smart home platforms. To control your devices, the App sends commands through platforms you connect (e.g., Apple HomeKit, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Samsung SmartThings), subject to their own privacy policies.
  • Service providers. Vendors who help us operate the App (e.g., analytics or hosting) under obligations to protect your data.
  • Legal & safety. When required by law, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of users, the public, or Sleep-Save.
  • Business transfers. In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to this Privacy Policy.

7Third-Party Platforms

Sleep-Save integrates with third-party smart home platforms and ecosystems. Your use of those platforms remains subject to their own terms and privacy policies. Sleep-Save is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or responsible for any third-party platform or device manufacturer, and we do not control how they process your data.

8Data Retention

We retain account information for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide the App. Aggregated, anonymized analytics may be retained to improve the App. Because audio is processed locally and not stored, there are no audio recordings for us to retain. When you delete your account, we delete or anonymize associated personal information except where retention is required by law.

9Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential.

10Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict its use. You can exercise the following controls at any time:

  • Microphone access. Revoke it in your device’s Settings app.
  • Device permissions. Change which smart home devices Sleep-Save can control within the App settings.
  • Health data. Manage HealthKit permissions in your device settings.
  • Account deletion. Delete your account to remove your personal information, subject to legal retention requirements.
  • Requests. Contact us to exercise applicable privacy rights.

Sleep-Save is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information through the App, please contact us immediately so we can delete it.
