transparency is the key to any healthy relationship. We appreciate that
you trust us with information about you, and we want to be transparent
about how we use it.

processed by Sleep Brain (“the app”, “the services”) and us. You will
learn about the data we collect, how we use it, your rights, and the
measures we take to keep it safe. We always make sure that your data is
protected in accordance with applicable legislation.
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.
We will process your personal data only in accordance with your consent
and applicable legislation, such as the CCPA and GDPR. We are not the
data controller for personal data that is processed locally on your
device.

personal data will be collected through 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.

accordance with the authorization procedures set by that social media
service.

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
