Privacy policy
Effective date: [date of App Store release]. This policy covers the SnoreSettle app for iPhone and iPad and this website.
Short version: SnoreSettle does its work on your device. We do not run a server for the app, we do not collect your audio, and you do not make an account.
Who we are
SnoreSettle is made by Frontier Collective (frontiercollective.ai). In this policy, "we" means Frontier Collective.
What the app does on your device
- Microphone audio. While a session is on, the app analyses sound from the microphone on the device to detect snoring. It holds about the last 40 seconds of audio in memory and drops it as it goes.
- Clips. When the app detects a snoring episode, it saves one short audio clip of that episode on the device. It never saves a recording of the whole night.
- Reports. When you stop a session, the app saves a report of the night on the device: times of snoring, nudges, speaker changes and gaps in listening.
- Settings and samples. Your settings, and any personal sound samples you choose to record or import, are saved on the device.
- Apple Health (optional). If you connect Apple Health, the app reads your sleep stages on the device to show them in reports. It writes nothing to Apple Health. Health data is never used for advertising and never leaves the device through the app.
What leaves your device
The app sends nothing to us. It makes no server request and uploads no audio, reports or Health data. It has no account, no advertising, no analytics and no tracking.
If you join the beta through TestFlight, Apple sends us the feedback and screenshots you choose to send, crash reports, and basic device information. Apple's TestFlight terms cover that data.
If you turn on "Share with App Developers" in iOS Settings, Apple can send us crash reports and usage statistics without your name. Apple's privacy policy covers that data.
When clip sharing is available, a clip leaves the device only when you share it with the iOS Share sheet. Where it goes then is your choice.
How long data stays, and how to delete it
- Clips stay until you delete them in the app.
- Reports stay on the device [retention limit to confirm].
- Delete the app to remove all of its data from the device. iCloud and device backups follow your iOS backup settings.
Other people in the room
The app can hear anyone in the room. Ask everyone who sleeps in the room before you use it. The app does not identify people.
Children
SnoreSettle is not made for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them. The app collects no personal data from anyone.

Changes
