SleepMon — Privacy Policy & Support

1. Overview

SleepMon is a behavioral sleep tracker that uses friction-based interaction (30-tap lock screen) to reduce phone use before bedtime. We collect the minimum data needed to make the app work and to improve it.

2. Data We Collect

Sleep & Activity Data

Bedtime and wake-time settings you configure
Caffeine and alcohol intake logs (drink type + amount you tap)
Lock screen unlock events (tap count, time to unlock)
Daily sleep summary (derived statistics, not raw)

Account Data (Optional)

If you sign in: email address and OAuth provider ID (Kakao / Apple / Google)
If you skip sign-in: an anonymous device-only UID

Health Profile (Optional)

Gender, age, weight, health conditions — used locally to calculate your personalized caffeine and alcohol limits
Stored on your device; not transmitted unless you opt into cloud sync

We Do NOT Collect

Raw audio from the sleep-tracking microphone (only derived 2-stage Wake/Sleep result)
Contact list, photos, location, calendar
Payment card numbers

3. How We Use Your Data

Personalize caffeine and alcohol intake limits based on your profile
Trigger bedtime lock screen and wake alarm at scheduled times
Generate daily sleep reports with metaphorical text (e.g., "Caffeine villain visited last night")
Compute streak counts and progress visualization
Send notification reminders 10 minutes before bedtime

4. Cloud Storage (Supabase)

If you sign in, we store the following data in our Supabase backend:

Your user profile (gender, age, weight, sleep targets) — for cross-device sync
Daily summary aggregates — for long-term trend analysis
Anonymized event logs — for product improvement

Raw per-tap logs are deleted from the server after 7 days. Only daily summaries are retained long-term. Data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and at rest.

Supabase privacy policy: supabase.com/privacy

5. Sleep Audio Analysis (AsleepTrack)

SleepMon uses microphone-based breathing sound analysis via the AsleepTrack API to detect Wake/Sleep stages. Raw audio is processed in real time on your device and converted to derived stage data. Raw audio is never stored or transmitted to our servers. Only the derived stage results (Wake / Sleep) are kept.

AsleepTrack privacy: asleep.ai/privacy

6. Authentication

Sign-in is optional. Supported providers:

Kakao Login (Korea primary)
Apple Sign In (iOS App Store requirement)
Google Sign In (Android primary)
Email + password (fallback)

Without sign-in, all your data stays on the device. You can convert an anonymous account into a signed-in account later without losing data.

7. Advertising

Free users see banner and interstitial ads served by Google AdMob. Ads are restricted to non-sleep contexts only:

Home screen during daytime use
Sleep report screen after morning alarm
Never during the bedtime lock screen overlay
Never during alarm screens

AdMob may collect advertising identifiers (GAID / IDFA) per Google’s policy. You can reset or limit these identifiers in your OS settings.

8. Permissions We Request

Notifications

To deliver bedtime reminders and wake alarms.

Microphone (optional)

To analyze breathing sounds for Wake/Sleep detection via AsleepTrack. Used only during sleep sessions.

Schedule Exact Alarm (Android)

To trigger bedtime lock screen at the precise time you set.

9. Third-Party Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share user data with third parties for marketing. We use the following service providers strictly to operate the app:

Supabase — database and authentication
AsleepTrack — sleep stage detection (audio processed on-device)
Google AdMob — ads for free-tier users
Apple / Google / Kakao — OAuth sign-in (only if you choose to sign in)

10. Data Retention & Deletion

Local data: uninstall the app to remove everything on your device.
Cloud data (signed-in users): email orangeai.shoedog@gmail.com with your account email. Account and all associated data deleted within 5 business days.

Frequently Asked Questions

The bedtime lock screen does not show up automatically.

On Android, you must grant Schedule Exact Alarm, Display Over Other Apps, and Full-Screen Intent permissions. Open the app, go to Settings › Permissions, and enable all required items. Samsung and Xiaomi phones may also require disabling battery optimization for SleepMon.

Why does the lock screen ask me to tap 30 times?

The 30-tap unlock is a deliberate friction design. The goal is not to block your phone, but to make unlocking annoying enough that you reconsider using it at bedtime. Most people put the phone down after a few seconds.

The alarm did not wake me up.

Check three things: (1) notification permission is granted, (2) the device is not in airplane mode or set to silent at the OS level with overrides disabled, (3) on Android, battery optimization is disabled for SleepMon (Settings › Battery › SleepMon › Unrestricted).

How are my personal caffeine and alcohol limits calculated?

Limits are computed locally based on your profile (gender, age, weight, health conditions). Defaults: caffeine 400 mg/day for adults, alcohol 35 g (men) / 17 g (women). Pregnancy, heart, or liver conditions reduce these values. People over 65 get a 30% lower caffeine cap and 30% lower alcohol cap.

Why does logging a single beer count as 13 g of alcohol?

We use Korean beverage standards. One 355 ml can of beer at 4.5% ABV contains approximately 13 g of pure alcohol (355 × 0.045 × 0.785 specific gravity). One soju shot (50 ml at 16.9%) equals 7 g.

Can I use SleepMon without signing in?

Yes. Sign-in is optional. Without an account, all data stays on your device. You can sign in later to back up your history and use the app on multiple devices.

How do I delete my account and cloud data?

Email orangeai.shoedog@gmail.com from the email address used to sign in, with the subject "Delete SleepMon Account". We will delete all account-linked data within 5 business days.

Will SleepMon analyze my sleep without a smartwatch?

Yes. SleepMon uses the AsleepTrack API, which analyzes breathing sounds via your phone microphone. No wearable device is required. Audio is processed in real time and never stored.

Is SleepMon free?

Yes, all core features are free. Free users see ads on the home and report screens (never during the bedtime lock screen or alarm). We may add an optional ad-free Pro tier in the future.

Does SleepMon work on iOS?

Yes. iOS 15 and above are supported. Note that iOS has stricter limits on automatic screen wake-up than Android — on iOS, the bedtime alert appears as a Time-Sensitive notification rather than a forced full-screen overlay. iOS 26+ users get additional AlarmKit features when available.
