Privacy Policy

Drowse is designed around a simple principle: your sleep data should stay close to you. This policy explains what the app uses, what may sync, and what never leaves your phone.

Last updated: July 9, 2026

Overview

Drowse helps you understand your sleep using information you choose to provide, permission-based access to Apple Health, on-device microphone analysis, and app preferences. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use your data for third-party advertising or tracking.

Raw audio recordings are never uploaded to Drowse. Snore analysis is designed to happen entirely on your iPhone.

Website waitlist

If you join the TestFlight waitlist on this website, we collect the email address you submit so we can send early-access and launch updates. Waitlist submissions may be handled by a third-party form service configured for this site. You can ask us to remove your waitlist details at any time.

Data we use

Depending on the features you enable, Drowse may use:

  • Website waitlist information, such as the email address you submit for early-access updates.
  • Account information from Sign in with Apple, such as your Apple user identifier and, if provided, your name and email address.
  • Sleep goals, app preferences, trial state, and Drowse Pro entitlement state.
  • Apple Health sleep information, when you grant permission.
  • Microphone input for on-device snore pattern analysis, when you grant permission.
  • Notification permission for alarms and wind-down reminders.

Audio and microphone

Drowse uses microphone access to monitor and compute snoring patterns while you sleep. The app is designed so raw audio is analyzed on your iPhone and does not leave your phone. We do not upload raw audio recordings to Drowse servers.

Apple Health

If you allow Apple Health access, Drowse can read sleep information such as sleep duration and sleep phases to help calculate insights. You can change Apple Health permissions at any time in the iOS Settings app.

iCloud and CloudKit

Drowse may use Apple iCloud/CloudKit to sync non-audio app data such as profile preferences, goals, score settings, and trial timestamps. For the TestFlight period, sleep session history, raw audio, and detailed local sleep session records are intended to remain local to your device.

Purchases

Drowse Pro subscriptions are handled by Apple through the App Store. Drowse may use StoreKit purchase information to unlock paid features, restore purchases, and keep your subscription state current.

Choices and deletion

You can change Health, microphone, and notification permissions in iOS Settings. You can also sign out or request account deletion from inside the app. Deleting your account clears local Drowse account state and related CloudKit preference or trial records where applicable.
