- App Preferences: Your settings, favorite sounds, custom mixes, and preferences are stored locally on your device.
- Anonymous Usage Analytics: We may collect anonymous, aggregated data about app usage to improve our services. This data cannot identify you personally.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use your information solely to:
- Provide and improve the sleep sounds and monitoring features
- Save your preferences and custom mixes locally
- Analyze anonymous usage patterns to enhance the app experience
- Send optional sleep reminders (if enabled by you)
We do NOT:
- Sell your personal information
- Share your data with third parties for marketing purposes
- Upload your sleep recordings to any server
4. Data Storage and Security
All your personal data, including sleep recordings, preferences, and custom mixes, are stored locally on your device. We do not have access to this data. If you uninstall the app, all locally stored data will be deleted.
