your rights, and the measures we take to keep it safe. We always make sure that your data is

You own your personal data. Therefore, we offer you several ways to control the privacy of
your personal information and we are constantly striving to improve the functions and
features needed in order for you to be in control.

legislation, such as the CCPA and GDPR. We are not the data controller for personal data
that is processed locally on your device.

your device’s accelerometer (such as your movements), microphone (such as snoring or other
noises), camera (pulse), flashlight, or device location (for weather and sleep location
statistics), and some personal data will be derived (such as sleep efficiency and sleep
quality).
Depending on what personal data you choose to provide, the data processed within the app
may, alone or together with other data, indicate information about your health. Personal
data, including health data, may also be collected from other sources. You have control over
what data are stored and accessed between the different apps and you can modify these
settings at any time.

we will have access to certain information from that account, such as your name and other
account information, in accordance with the authorization procedures set by that social
media service.
Please note that this notice does not apply to third party products or services or the
practices of companies that we do not own or control, including other companies you might
interact with, in or through the app, unless indicated otherwise. We will not be responsible
or liable for: (i) the availability or accuracy of such third-party apps or sites (ii) the
content, products or services on or availability of such third-party apps or sites; or (iii)
your use of any such third-party apps or sites.
