Privacy Policy

Effective Date: May 17, 2026

SleepWave ("the App") is an iOS app that generates ambient sounds and sleep/focus timers to help you relax, sleep, and concentrate. We respect your privacy. This policy explains what data the App does and does not handle.

Data We Collect

None. The App does not collect, transmit, store on our servers, or share any personal information or usage data. The App does not require an account, does not connect to any analytics service, and does not include any third-party SDKs.

Network Connections

SleepWave makes no outbound network connections. All sounds are generated procedurally on your device in real time — no audio is streamed or downloaded. No telemetry, no auto-update checks, no background sync, no analytics, no remote config.

On-Device Storage

The App stores the following on your device only, inside the app's shared App Group container:

This data lives on your device. It is removed when you delete the App. We have no access to it.

Audio Generation

All ambient sounds are synthesised in real time using DSP algorithms running entirely on your device. No audio files are downloaded, streamed, or sent anywhere. The App uses Apple's AVAudioEngine framework to render audio locally.

Background Audio

The App uses the system Background Audio capability so that sound playback continues when the screen is locked or the App is in the background. This does not involve any network activity.

Widget Extension

The Widget reads saved mix data from the shared App Group container. It does not perform any network requests and does not transmit anything off the device.

Children

The App does not knowingly collect any information from children or any other users.

Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
