Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026

Overview SleeperPower is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that data. SleeperPower is built by a physician with clinical privacy standards in mind.

Data We Collect

Sleep Data SleeperPower reads sleep data from Apple HealthKit including sleep duration, bedtime, and wake time. When you use the built-in sleep tracker, the app also collects accelerometer, gyroscope, and microphone data overnight to detect sleep and wake periods. Microphone data is processed entirely on your device and is never transmitted or stored. Processed sleep session data (duration, timing, quality metrics) is stored securely in our database to power your Power Score, insights, and history.

Research Data (Optional) If you opt into research participation during onboarding, anonymized sleep epoch data from the built-in tracker is stored securely for validation research purposes. This data contains no personally identifiable information. You may withdraw research consent at any time in Settings. Research data may be used in aggregate, anonymized form in future academic publications.

Account Information If you create an account, we collect your email address stored securely via Firebase Authentication. Google Sign-In users authenticate through Google's OAuth system.

App Preferences Bedtime and wake time targets, notification preferences, and sleep schedule settings are stored locally on your device and in your account for cross-device sync.

Subscription Information Subscription and purchase status is managed by RevenueCat. We do not store payment card information. RevenueCat's privacy policy applies to purchase data.

Usage Data Basic app usage and crash data is collected via Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics to improve app stability. Health data is explicitly excluded from analytics collection.

How We Use Your Data

  • To calculate your daily Power Score and sleep metrics

  • To display your sleep trends, consistency scores, and insights

  • To generate personalized AI coaching responses via Sleep Chat

  • To send bedtime reminders and morning report notifications

  • To maintain your account and sync preferences across devices

AI Sleep Coaching The Sleep Chat feature uses Claude, an AI service provided by Anthropic. When you use Sleep Chat, a summary of your recent sleep data is sent to Anthropic's API to generate personalized coaching responses. This data is used solely to generate your response and is governed by Anthropic's privacy policy at anthropic.com/privacy. You can use SleeperPower without using Sleep Chat if you prefer not to share data with this service.
