Who we are
SleepyCorgi is provided by Bytedrift Limited (“we”, “us”, or “our”). We are responsible for the personal information we process in connection with SleepyCorgi.
This policy explains how information is handled in our iPhone app and on this website. Privacy requests should be directed to the person responsible for privacy at Bytedrift Limited: hello.sleepycorgi@gmail.com.
Your routine and optional iCloud sync
The app stores your bedtime schedule, reminder preferences, pet progress, session times and outcomes, and recovery information locally on your device. This information supports your routine and lets the app recover an interrupted session.
We do not upload your detailed sleep-session history to our own servers. Limited progress analytics are described below. SleepyCorgi does not measure biological sleep or read Apple Health data. Your device’s backup settings may include app data in backups managed by Apple.
If you enable iCloud progress sync in Settings → Preferences → iCloud sync, the app stores your corgi name, growth, rewards, portrait choices, and finished session times and outcomes in your private Apple CloudKit database. This lets your devices using the same iCloud account merge and recover progress. Active sessions, blocking selections, bedtime settings, and reminder preferences are not included in this sync. The app keeps an opaque iCloud account identifier locally to pause sync when the account changes. You can use sync and recovery without a subscription.
Screen Time, notifications, and Live Activities
If you enable app blocking, Apple’s Screen Time framework supplies privacy-preserving tokens for the apps or categories you choose. SleepyCorgi stores selections and session settings in a local shared container so its extensions can apply restrictions. We do not send those selections to RevenueCat or use them for advertising.
Notifications are used for reminders and session updates when you allow them. Live Activities display session information on the Lock Screen and, on supported devices, the Dynamic Island. Anyone who can see your Lock Screen may see that information. You can manage these permissions in iOS Settings.
Subscriptions and RevenueCat
We use Apple’s in-app purchase system and RevenueCat to manage SleepyCorgi subscriptions. RevenueCat receives an automatically generated app user identifier, purchase and transaction history, and subscription status. It also processes technical information needed to deliver its service, such as app and system versions and network request information.
This processing lets us validate purchases, restore access, determine trial eligibility, prevent purchase fraud, and understand subscription performance. The SDK can contact RevenueCat to check subscription status even if you have not purchased. We do not send your corgi progress or sleep-session history to RevenueCat.
Apple handles payment details; we do not receive your full payment-card information. See Apple’s App Store privacy information and RevenueCat’s Privacy Policy.
Progress analytics and TelemetryDeck
Versions of SleepyCorgi that include TelemetryDeck report a limited progress summary: your total successful nights, progress band, and reward milestones reached. This helps us understand how many active installations are approaching the available rewards and plan new content. Progress summaries are reported at most once per active day plus when the saved total changes. They can include progress earned before the analytics-enabled version was installed.
When you start a sleep session using an unlocked corgi mode, the app also reports the displayed mode (Puppy, Youth, or Mature), whether it was selected or automatic, and how many modes are unlocked. This helps us understand which modes are used. These events count session starts, not mode-picker taps or biological sleep.
The app generates a random installation identifier, which TelemetryDeck hashes before transmission. We do not connect this identifier to your email, iCloud account, RevenueCat customer identifier, or corgi name. TelemetryDeck also receives event timestamps and standard technical metadata, such as app and operating-system versions, device model, language, and whether the build is a test build. Mode-use event timestamps can indicate when a sleep session was started.
We do not send bedtime schedules, session identifiers, planned sleep duration, detailed session-history records, or selected apps and categories to TelemetryDeck. These analytics measure app progress and feature use, not biological sleep, and are not used for advertising or cross-app tracking. See TelemetryDeck’s Privacy Policy.
Feature engagement and setup diagnostics
Analytics-enabled versions also report first-use setup steps (first observed use, completed introduction, saved schedule, first tracked session, and first successful night), session starts, and broad session outcomes such as completion, return-limit interruption, manual ending, or recovery cleanup. Existing users adopting analytics are distinguished from new installations; previously stored session history is not uploaded to populate these events.
To understand repeat use, session-start events include a coarse week bucket since the first tracked session. Reward events report gallery visits, whether there were newly available portraits, and which built-in unlocked portrait was opened. Screen Time diagnostics report broad authorization or update results and whether blocking selections are configured, not the selected apps, categories, websites, tokens, or raw error messages. A successful configuration call does not prove that every app was blocked.
These events use the same random hashed installation identifier and technical metadata described above. Their timestamps can indicate when you used the app or when it observed a session outcome. They do not include your corgi name, bedtime schedule, planned duration, session identifiers, or detailed saved session-history database. This information helps us improve setup, reliability, and rewards; it does not measure biological sleep.
Website and support
This static website is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare processes request information, such as IP addresses, browser information, requested URLs, and timestamps, to deliver and secure the site. See Cloudflare’s Privacy Policy.
We do not add advertising, analytics scripts, tracking pixels, or cookies to this website. Its images and fonts are hosted with the site. Cloudflare may process security-related information as part of hosting.
If you email us once support is available, we receive your email address and the message or attachments you choose to send. We use them to respond and investigate your request. Please avoid sending sensitive information you do not need to share.
How information is used and shared
We use information to provide app features, administer purchases, plan rewards using progress analytics, respond to support requests, and operate and protect our services. We do not sell personal information or use it for cross-app advertising tracking.
Information is handled by service providers as described above and may be disclosed where required by law or necessary to protect legal rights. Apple, RevenueCat, TelemetryDeck, Cloudflare, and email providers may process information in countries other than yours under their applicable privacy and data-protection arrangements.
Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we rely on providing the service you request, our legitimate interests in operating and securing it, legal obligations, or consent for features that require it.
Retention, deletion, and your choices
Local app data remains on your device until it is removed, for example by deleting the app. Optional iCloud sync keeps the latest merged progress, not historical backup versions. Turning sync off stops future syncing and keeps both the local progress and existing iCloud copy. Manage stored iCloud app data and device backups separately through Apple’s storage and account settings. Deleting the app does not automatically remove its iCloud copy. Deleting SleepyCorgi does not cancel an Apple subscription or automatically delete Apple or RevenueCat purchase records.
Service and support records are retained for as long as needed to provide access, respond to requests, meet legal requirements, and resolve disputes. Retention can differ by provider and record type.
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of personal information, object to or restrict processing, withdraw consent, and complain to a data-protection authority. Contact us about information we control. We may need enough information to verify and locate a request; we cannot retrieve session history stored only on your device.
Children and privacy
SleepyCorgi does not ask for a date of birth or knowingly collect personal information from children below the age at which parental consent is required under applicable law without that consent. If you believe a child has supplied personal information to us, contact us so we can investigate and address it.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy when the app or our practices change. The date above identifies the latest version. Material changes will be communicated where required by law.
