Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026

What we collect

Sova collects minimal data to provide the service:

Sleep journal entries (restedness, onset time, one-word mood) are stored locally on your device. They are not sent to our servers.
Program progress (which day you're on, completed days) is stored locally.
Anonymous analytics via Firebase Analytics: screen views, session starts, feature usage. No personally identifiable information is collected.
Crash reports via Sentry: stack traces and device metadata when the app crashes. No user content is included.

What we don't collect

We don't collect your name, email, or phone number.
We don't record audio or access your microphone.
We don't access your contacts, photos, or location.
We don't sell, share, or monetise your data.

Health data

If you grant permission, Sova may read sleep data from Apple Health or Health Connect to show insights. This data stays on your device and is never sent to our servers.

Notifications

Sova may send local notifications (bedtime reminders, morning check-in prompts) if you enable them. These are scheduled on-device and do not involve push notification servers.

Third-party services

Firebase (Google) — anonymous analytics and authentication
Sentry — crash reporting
RevenueCat (when enabled) — subscription management

Each service has its own privacy policy. We recommend reviewing them.

Data retention

All user-generated data (journal, progress, preferences) is stored locally and can be deleted at any time from the app's Settings page ("Reset all state").

Children

Sova is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

Changes

We may update this policy. The date at the top reflects the latest revision.
