Sleep is personal, so we keep this short and plain. Slothdom collects what it needs to work and nothing to sell.
What we collect
- Your account. Your email address, and the profile you create: handle, display name, bio, picture, time zone, sleep goal and bedtime.
- Your nights. For each night: start and end time, a movement and loudness reading for each minute, the sounds the phone recognised (snoring, talking, laughing, coughing), and the results we work out from them, such as time asleep and the night score.
- Your days. For each day: how many minutes you spent in entertainment apps (in steps of 15 minutes on iPhone), your breaks, the healthy time that works out to, and your day plan and alarm times. Which apps you use stays on your phone. Friends see your healthy time and streak, and you can turn that sharing off.
- Sleep from Health. If you allow it, the app reads your sleep from Apple Health or Health Connect, including stages your watch recorded, and uploads those nights so they appear in your history. The app does not read anything else from Health.
- Clips you share. Short audio or video clips, only when you choose to post one. Clips you do not post stay on your phone.
- What you do socially. Friends, posts, reactions, comments, blocks and reports.
- Points and Pro. Your points history, and whether you have Pro, from the App Store or Google Play through RevenueCat.
- Your device. A push notification token so we can send the reminders you ask for.
- The waitlist. The email you gave us, and who referred you.
- Problems. If the app or website crashes, an error report goes to Sentry with technical details but with emails, tokens and free text removed.
What we do not collect
- Raw overnight audio. It is analysed on your phone and never uploaded.
- Your contacts or location, or any health records other than the sleep you choose to import.
- The names of the apps you use, or what you do in them.
- Anything to show you adverts. There are no adverts.
Why we use it
To run the service you asked for: tracking and the morning report, your streak and points, the friends feed, Pro, support, and keeping the community safe. Our legal bases under UK and EU data protection law are performing our contract with you, our legitimate interest in keeping the service secure and preventing abuse, and your consent where we ask for it (for example the microphone and notifications on your phone).
The assistant
Your phone may write your morning note itself. If it cannot, the app sends summary numbers (such as hours slept and your streak) to our server, which asks an AI model through llm11 to write one short message. If you use dream reflections, the dream text you type is sent too, for that request only. We do not send audio.
Who helps us run it
- Helm7: hosting, database and sign-in, in the EU.
- ThreadCamp: sends our emails, such as your sign-in code.
- Sentry: error reports, scrubbed of personal data.
- llm11 and the model provider behind it: the assistant messages above.
- RevenueCat, Apple and Google: purchases.
- Expo: delivers push notifications.
We do not sell your data, and we do not share it for advertising.
Who can see what
Your night card and your day card go to your friends if you leave auto-posting on, and your healthy time and streak appear on their leaderboard unless you switch day sharing off. Clips and any public post go only where you put them. Public posts and their share links can be seen by anyone. Your handle, display name, picture and streak are visible to other members. Sleep results are never public unless you post them.
How long we keep it
Until you delete your account. In the app, go to your profile and choose Delete account: your nights, clips, posts, points and sign-in are removed from our servers. Waitlist emails are kept until you are invited, or until you ask us to remove you. Backups age out within a few weeks.
Your rights
You can ask for a copy of your data, to correct it, or to delete it, and you can object to how we use it. Email [email protected] from the address you signed up with and we will help. If you are unhappy with how we handled something, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk) or your local regulator.
Age
Slothdom is for people aged 16 and over.
Changes
If we change this in a way that matters, we will tell you in the app before it takes effect.
