Privacy Policy

This policy explains how the Snorezy iOS app handles information, and covers snorezy.org, the app's website (section 13). “We” means the developer of Snorezy.

The short version

• There is no account. No sign-up, no login, no name, email address or phone number.
• Sound is analysed on your iPhone. Your recordings, your notes and your Apple Health data are not uploaded to us. We don't run a server that could receive them.
• Two services receive data from the app: PostHog, for usage data, which is on by default and has an off switch, and Superwall, which runs the subscription. Neither receives audio, anything you write, or Apple Health values.
• Your data leaves the phone in two other ways, and both are under your control: when you share something, and as part of your own iPhone backup. Audio is excluded from backups.

1. What leaves your iPhone

• Usage data, sent to PostHog so we can see which parts of the app work and where people get stuck (section 9). This is on by default, and one switch turns it off.
• Subscription information, sent to Superwall so the subscription offer and your access work (section 8). Payment itself is handled by Apple.
• What you choose to share: a night's summary card, its text summary, or a recording, sent wherever you pick in the iOS share sheet (section 7).
• Your own backup. If you back up your iPhone to iCloud or a computer, the app's night records and settings are included, like any app's data. Audio is not (section 2). Apple handles those backups under your Apple Account; we have no access to them.

The app calls its usage data “anonymous” because nothing in it names you. Strictly speaking, because it is linked to an identifier that stays the same over time, laws such as the GDPR treat it as pseudonymous personal data, and we handle it that way.

2. What is stored on your iPhone

Everything below is stored inside the app's private storage on your iPhone.

Audio

• Clips of the moments Snorezy detects: snoring, talking, coughing, breathing sounds and other noises. Each clip starts a few seconds before the sound, and a breathing-sound sequence keeps up to 45 seconds so you can hear the whole moment.
• The whole night, only if you choose Full Recording in Settings → Recording → Recording Preferences (about 15 MB an hour).
• Temporary backup audio. If the live sound analysis stops working during a night, Snorezy keeps the raw audio so the night can be analysed again in the morning. It is deleted once it has been used, and never kept longer than 14 days.

Audio is excluded from iCloud and device backups.

Night records

Each night's results: start and end times, what was detected and when, how loud the room was through the night, the categories and any corrections you make, whether a sound was yours or a partner's, bookmarks, your morning rating, bedtime factors (such as alcohol or a blocked nose), what a partner noticed, your answers to the symptom check-in, and any note you write. If you connect Apple Health, the night also keeps a copy of that night's Health readings (section 5), so its report still opens as it did.

Settings

Your settings, onboarding answers, sleep schedule and reminder choices, a random install identifier (section 9), and the last known state of your subscription, so the app opens correctly offline.

Night records and settings are ordinary app data, so they are included in your own iPhone backup if you use one.

3. How long it is kept, and deleting it

Audio. In Settings → Data & Privacy → Storage & Privacy, Keep audio offers 7 days, 30 days (the default), 90 days or Until deleted. Older audio is deleted automatically the next time you open the app. Bookmarked clips are kept.

Night records are kept until you delete them.

On the same screen:

• Delete Old Recordings removes audio older than your Keep audio choice.
• Delete All Recordings removes every audio clip. Reports stay.
• Delete All Sleep Data removes every night, report and clip, your symptom answers and bedtime factors, the Apple Health sleep history the app saved, and any sleep summary waiting to be shown. It keeps your settings, onboarding answers, sleep schedule and install identifier.

You can also delete a single night (Delete Night and Recordings) or a single clip (Delete Recording). Deleting the app deletes everything it stored on your iPhone. It does not delete data already sent to PostHog or Superwall; section 12 explains how to ask for that.

4. Permissions

Microphone

Used only while a night recording is running, and it keeps running while your phone is locked so the night can be recorded. That is the only reason the app runs audio in the background. Please record only yourself, or people who know and have agreed to it.

Apple Health (optional)

Read only. See section 5.

Notifications and Live Activities (optional)

See section 6.

The app asks for nothing else: no location, camera, contacts, photos or tracking permission. You can change any permission in iOS Settings → Snorezy.

5. Apple Health

If you allow it, Snorezy reads from Apple Health: sleep stages and time asleep, heart rate, respiratory rate, blood oxygen, Apple Watch sleeping wrist temperature and, on iOS 18 or later, Apple Watch breathing disturbances and sleep apnea notifications. It reads only the types you allow, and it never writes to Apple Health.

It uses them on your iPhone to:

• show them next to a night's recordings, and show nights you slept without recording;
• calculate the sleep score, which comes from Apple Health sleep alone, never from sounds;
• suggest a sleep schedule, which is never applied without you;
• prepare the morning sleep summary (section 6). To do that, the app may read last night's sleep in the background, once a day, when Apple Health has new sleep data.

Apple Health values are never sent to us, to PostHog or to Superwall, and are never used for advertising or marketing. Usage data does contain a few yes-or-no facts about Health (section 9): whether a night's report had Health data, whether recent Health sleep exists, and whether a morning summary included a score. It also records which kinds of insight card appeared. One of those cards suggests discussing your breathing with a healthcare professional, and it appears when Apple Health reports a sleep apnea notification or raised breathing disturbances, or when your check-in answers point that way. Usage data can therefore show that such a card was shown, but never the reading behind it.

6. Notifications and Live Activities

Every notification is scheduled on your iPhone; there is no push server. Each has its own switch in Settings → Notifications.

• Bedtime reminder at the time you choose, with Remind Me Later (once, 15 minutes).
• Missed night, when a planned night wasn't recorded.
• Stay on track: a few reminders about recording if you stop using the app, on days 2, 4, 7, 10, 14, 21 and 30, and then they stop. They are about the app and never contain an offer. This switch is shown, already on, when you set up reminders during onboarding.
• Sleep summary (on by default, needs Apple Health): at most one notification a morning, for example your time asleep compared with your usual. With Show sleep figures on (the default), those figures appear on your Lock Screen, where anyone who can see your phone can read them. Turn it off and the notification only says your summary is ready. It is sent only if you have used the app in the last 30 days.
• Recording alerts, if a recording is paused or stopped during the night.
• Live Activities on the Lock Screen: a recording in progress and, on iOS 26 or later, your bedtime.

The app may also ask Apple to show the standard App Store rating prompt once, after your first night of two hours or more. Apple decides whether it appears.

7. Sharing

Nothing is shared unless you tap Share. You can share:

• a night's summary card, an image with the date, the night's headline, sleep score, time asleep, awakenings and snoring;
• its text summary (Share Summary);
• an audio clip (Share Recording) or, if you kept it, the full-night recording.

The iOS share sheet sends it wherever you choose, and from then on the recipient's own privacy policy applies. The card and text summary include figures that come from Apple Health, such as time asleep. A recording may contain other people's voices, so share it only with their agreement.

8. Purchases and subscriptions

Snorezy Premium is an optional subscription. Payments are processed by Apple through the App Store. We never see your payment details.

The app uses Superwall to present the subscription offer and to know whether your subscription is active. Superwall receives:

• the random install identifier described in section 9;
• technical information such as device model, iOS version, app version, language, region and time zone;
• Apple's identifier for vendor: an ID Apple gives to one developer's apps on one device. It is not an advertising identifier;
• your subscription status and purchases, and the paywall events triggered in the app;
• six app attributes: the main interest you chose in onboarding, the app language, whether the Apple Health connection was offered, whether you are subscribed, a rough count of recorded nights (0, 1 to 3, 4 to 10, or 11 or more), and whether onboarding is finished;
• your IP address, as any internet service does when the app connects to it.

If you turn off usage data (section 9), the six attributes are removed and no longer sent. Superwall still receives what it needs to show the offer and check your subscription. Superwall never receives audio, Apple Health data or anything you write. Its own policy is at superwall.com/privacy.

9. Usage data (analytics)

Snorezy sends usage data to PostHog (US cloud) so we can see which parts of the app work and where people get stuck. It is on from the first launch, and one switch turns it off (below).

What is sent, as events with fixed values:

• The app being installed, updated, opened and closed, and which tab you opened.
• Onboarding: which steps you saw, and your answers as fixed choices (your main interest, whether you know you snore, how you usually feel on waking, your plan for the first night, and how many morning notes you picked).
• Recordings: when one starts and ends, its mode and length, how many sounds were detected, any gaps or interruptions and why, which night it was (counted up to 30), and whether the analysis finished.
• Reports: that a report was opened and how long after the night, how many sounds it had, whether it was locked, whether it had Apple Health data, which tabs, insight cards and explanations you opened, which sound categories you played or corrected, and which trends you looked at.
• Your morning rating (1 to 5), and how many notes or check-in answers you saved. For a note, only whether it had text, never the text.
• Subscription: paywalls requested, shown, closed or declined, trials and purchases started, completed or failed, restores, and your subscription state, with the number of days since install and the rough count of recorded nights.
• Other: sleep sounds played, sharing and deleting as actions, language changes, which kind of notification you opened, whether a sleep summary was prepared and had a score, and the rating prompt.
• The device information PostHog adds to every event: device model, iOS version, app version, language, time zone, screen size and whether you are on Wi-Fi or mobile data.
• Your IP address, which PostHog receives when events are sent and can use to estimate an approximate location, such as country and city.

What is never sent: audio, Apple Health values, the text of your notes or anything else you type, and your recordings' content. Session replay, screen recording and automatic screen and tap capture are switched off.

How you are identified: by a random identifier created on your iPhone the first time you open the app, derived from nothing about you. PostHog keeps a profile of usage data under it, including the six attributes listed in section 8 and whether recent Apple Health sleep exists. The same identifier is given to Superwall, so a subscription can be matched to this install. Delete All Sleep Data does not change it; deleting and reinstalling the app creates a new one. We don't track you across other companies' apps or websites.

How to switch it off: Settings → Data & Privacy → Storage & Privacy → Share anonymous usage data. Events already waiting on the phone are sent, and then collection stops.

10. What we do not do

• No tracking across other apps or websites, no advertising identifier and no advertising.
• No selling. We do not sell or rent personal information, and we share it only with the service providers named here, to run the app.
• No location. The app never asks for it. The only location information we see is the approximate one PostHog estimates from your IP address.
• No cloud upload or sync. Recordings, notes and Health data are not uploaded to any server of ours or synced through iCloud. Your own device backup is the exception described in section 2.

11. Children

Snorezy is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you record in a child's room, the recording is kept on your iPhone like any other.

12. Your rights

Privacy laws such as the GDPR and the CCPA give you rights to access, correct, export or delete personal data held about you, and to object to its use.

Why we process it. Usage data: our legitimate interest in keeping the app reliable and improving it, which you can object to at any time with the switch in section 9. Subscription information: providing the subscription you bought. Microphone and Apple Health: your permission, which you can withdraw in iOS Settings at any time. That data is processed only on your iPhone.

Where it goes. PostHog and Superwall process data in the United States.

How long we keep it. We keep usage data only for as long as it helps us improve the app. Superwall keeps subscription records for as long as it needs them to provide the subscription, under its own policy.

How to use your rights:

• For data on your iPhone: delete it in the app (section 3), or delete the app. You already hold it; we don't.
• To stop usage data, turn off Share anonymous usage data. To stop the app reading Apple Health or using the microphone, revoke the permission in iOS Settings.
• For data held by PostHog: it is linked to a random identifier rather than your name, so we cannot look you up by name or email. Email us and we will help you find and delete the records for your install where we can. Deleting the app also ends the link, because a reinstall creates a new identifier.
• For data held by Superwall in connection with your subscription, email us and we will pass it on.

If you are in the EU, the EEA or the UK, you can also complain to your local data protection authority.

13. This website

snorezy.org sets no cookies and loads no analytics, advertising or tracking scripts. Like any website, its hosting provider receives your IP address and the page you asked for in order to deliver it. The noise player generates sound in your browser and sends nothing anywhere, and the website never asks for your microphone.

14. Changes

If the app starts handling data differently, this page is updated in the same release and the date at the top changes.
