Privacy Policy
Last updated: December 14, 2025
SomniSentry is designed to be a calm, privacy-first experience. We focus on event-based audio clips (short moments when sound is detected), not continuous “all-night” recording.
What we collect
- Audio events (clips): If you enable Night Listening, the app may record short clips when sound is detected.
- App activity: Basic diagnostic data may be collected to keep the app reliable (crash logs, performance).
- Optional data you add: Tags, notes, and dream journal entries you choose to save.
Where your audio is stored
By default, audio clips are stored locally on your device. If we later offer backup/sync, it will be opt-in and clearly explained in-app.
Transcription (Pro feature)
Transcription is optional and happens only when you choose to transcribe a specific clip. We do not automatically transcribe or upload audio by default. If a cloud option is offered, we will present clear consent and controls.
Sharing & selling data
We do not sell your personal data. We do not allow human review of your clips unless you explicitly share them.
People nearby (roommates/partners)
If you use SomniSentry in a shared space, you are responsible for ensuring you have appropriate consent. The app provides controls to delete clips and disable listening at any time.
Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your data. No method of storage is 100% secure, but privacy-first defaults reduce risk.
