Privacy Policy

Last updated: 5 July 2026 · Applies to Snore AI for iPhone, published by Zenbyte.

This policy explains what Snore AI (“the app”, “we”, “us”) does with information when you use it. We've written it to be read, not to hide behind legalese — because the honest answer is that we collect almost nothing.

1. What the app processes

Everything below is created and stored only on your device:

• Sleep sounds. During a sleep session the microphone captures audio, which is analyzed on-device in real time to detect snoring and other sleep sounds. Raw, continuous audio is not retained.
• Short sound clips. When snoring or another important sound is detected, the app saves a brief audio clip (a few seconds) locally so you can play it back.
• Sleep session data. Start/end times, a Sleep Score, snoring duration, a minute-by-minute timeline, and relative noise levels — all computed on-device.
• Factors you log. The treatments and habits you tap before sleep (e.g. nasal strip, alcohol), used to compute your personal comparisons.

2. What we don't do

• We operate no servers that receive your recordings, reports, or usage.
• There is no account and no sign-in. We never ask for your name, email, or phone number.
• We include no third-party analytics, advertising, tracking, or SDKs. The app does not build an advertising profile and does not track you across apps or websites.
• We do not sell, rent, or share your data — there is nothing collected on our side to sell.
• The app does not currently read from or write to Apple Health.

3. Microphone & audio

The app requests microphone access so it can detect snoring while you sleep. The microphone is only active during a sleep session that you start, and analysis runs on-device using Apple's SoundAnalysis and Core ML. To keep listening while your screen is locked, the app uses iOS background audio for the duration of the session; recording stops when the session ends and never runs outside a session. You can revoke microphone access at any time in the iOS Settings app.

4. Where your data lives

Your nights, timelines, factors, and sound clips are stored in a private database and audio files inside the app's own storage on your iPhone. This storage is excluded from iCloud and iTunes/Finder backups, so your recordings are not copied off the device through backup. Because the data isn't backed up, it does not transfer automatically to a new device.

5. Notifications

If you enable them, the app schedules local notifications on your device — for example a bedtime reminder or a note that a session ended early. These are generated entirely on-device; no notification service receives your content. Notifications are optional and can be turned off in the app or in iOS Settings.

6. Purchases

Premium features are offered through Apple's In-App Purchase using StoreKit. Apple processes the transaction and your payment; we never see your payment details. Your subscription or purchase status (your “entitlement”) is verified on-device and cached locally so the app works offline. Apple's handling of purchase data is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy. Use “Restore Purchases” to re-verify a previous purchase on a new device.

7. Retention & deletion

• On the free plan, saved sound clips are automatically removed after 7 days. Premium lets you choose how long clips are kept.
• In the app you can Delete all recordings (removes saved audio) or Delete all data (removes every night, statistic, factor and recording). These actions are immediate and cannot be undone.
• Deleting the app from your iPhone removes all of its local data.

8. Exports & sharing

You can export a PDF report or a JSON copy of your data (statistics and sessions — audio files are not included in the JSON export). Exports are created on-device and only leave your phone if you choose to share them through the iOS share sheet. When you share a file, it goes wherever you send it, and that destination's own privacy terms then apply.

9. Children

Snore AI is a general-audience app and is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your region). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children — and in fact we do not collect personal information from anyone on our servers.

10. Not a medical device

Snore AI is a lifestyle and wellness app. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, or prevent sleep apnea or any medical condition. Noise levels are relative, not calibrated decibel measurements, and sleep-stage estimates are inferred from sound. If you have breathing pauses, severe snoring, or health concerns, please consult a qualified doctor.

11. Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or CCPA/CPRA), you may have rights to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data. Because Snore AI keeps your data on your own device and we hold nothing on our side, you can exercise these directly: your data is viewable in the app, exportable from Settings, and deletable at any time. We do not process personal data on servers, do not sell or “share” it for cross-context advertising, and there is no profile for us to hand over. If you have questions about your rights, contact us below.

12. Changes to this policy

If we change how the app handles information, we'll update this page and revise the “Last updated” date above. Material changes will also be reflected in an app update. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised policy.
