4. Information Stored Locally on Your Device
To provide its features, the App may store certain information locally on your device. This information remains within the App's local storage and is not transmitted to our servers.
The types of information that may be stored locally include:
App Settings
The App may store your preferences, such as volume levels, selected sounds, and sleep timer settings, so that the App can remember your choices.
Saved Mixes
If you create and save a custom sound mix, information about that mix may be stored locally on your device so that you can use it again later.
Listening Insights
The App may calculate listening statistics such as total played time, weekly listening, day versus night usage, and ambient sound usage.
These statistics are calculated and stored locally on your device and are displayed only within the App.
Important: We do not upload, send, synchronize, or otherwise transmit this locally stored information to our servers.
5. How Information Is Used
Because we do not collect personal information on our servers, we do not use your information for advertising, profiling, marketing, behavioral tracking, or server-side analytics.
Information stored locally on your device is used only to provide and improve the App's functionality. For example, local information may be used to:
Remember your App settings.
Restore your saved sound mixes.
Display your listening insights.
Maintain your playback preferences.
6. Android Permissions

Why we need it: This permission allows the built-in audio player to access audio files stored on your device so that you can browse and play your own music.
How we use it: The App only accesses audio files necessary for the feature you use. We do not upload, share, or transmit your selected audio files to our servers.
6.2 READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
Applicable to: Older Android versions where this permission is applicable.
Why we need it: This permission may be required by older Android versions to allow the built-in audio player to access audio files stored on your device.

6.4 FOREGROUND_SERVICE

If your App does not use the microphone, this permission should not be included in the Privacy Policy or requested by the App.
Managing Permissions
You can manage or revoke Android permissions through your device settings. You can generally find these controls under:
Settings → Apps → Sleep Sounds → Permissions
If you deny a permission, the feature that depends on that permission may not work. For example, denying audio access may prevent the built-in audio player from accessing music files stored on your device.
7. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, trade, or share your personal information with third parties.
We do not share your information with advertisers, advertising networks, data brokers, analytics providers, or other third-party companies.
Because the App does not transmit your locally stored information to our servers, we do not have access to that local information.
8. Third-Party Services
The App does not use third-party advertising, analytics, tracking, or crash-reporting services.
If we introduce a third-party service in the future, such as advertising, analytics, crash reporting, authentication, cloud storage, or another service that processes user information, this Privacy Policy will be updated to explain how that service handles information.
You should also ensure that your Google Play Data Safety information is updated whenever the App's data practices change.
9. Internet Use and Offline Access
The App is designed to provide its main features without requiring an internet connection.
The App's sound library, piano, mixer, audio player, sleep timer, and listening insights are designed to work offline, where applicable.
The App does not transmit your locally stored settings, saved mixes, or listening insights to our servers.
10. Data Retention and Deletion
We do not store your personal information on our servers. Therefore, we do not retain personal information on our side.
Information stored locally by the App remains on your device until you delete it or remove the App.
You can remove local App data in the following ways:
Delete saved mixes or settings from within the App, where those options are available.
Use your Android device's settings to clear the App's storage/data.
Uninstall the App from your device.
When you clear the App's data or uninstall the App, locally stored information associated with the App may be deleted from your device.
11. Data Security
Because we do not transmit or store your local App data on our servers, we do not maintain a server-side database containing your App settings, saved mixes, or listening insights.
Local information is protected by the security mechanisms provided by your Android device and operating system, including Android's application sandbox.
We recommend keeping your device protected with a secure screen lock and keeping your Android operating system updated.
12. Children's Privacy
The App does not knowingly collect personal information from children or adults.
Because the App does not require an account and does not collect personal information on our servers, it is designed to minimize the collection of user information.
If you believe that personal information has been provided to us through the App or through another communication channel, please contact us using the contact information provided below so that we can review the situation.
13. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have additional privacy rights. If you have a privacy-related question or request, you can contact us using the contact information below.
14. External Links
