Provision of our sleep analysis & training services

To provide our sleep analysis & training services, we collect and process
- Your first name

Our iOS and Android apps are provided on Hetzner servers. As part of the infrastructure operation, Hetzner collects technical information such as your IP address and user behavior relevant for error analysis.

Your health data such as sleep habits and heart rate variability are analyzed in the Google Cloud in Frankfurt.

The conclusion of a paid sleep² subscription is processed via the Apple Store for iOS and the Play Store on Android devices. Google and Apple process your data here, which is required for payment processing from a legal perspective. Apple and Google may also collect other data relevant to the App Store and Play Store. Further information can be found directly in Apple's App Store Privacy Policy and in the Google Play Store Terms of Use and Google Privacy Policy.

We use the Google Cloud in Frankfurt to make our website available to you. Google collects technical information such as your IP address and user behavior relevant for error analysis as part of website operation.

You can send us messages and questions via our contact form. We use the data you provide, such as your name, email address and optional telephone number, as well as information that you send us via the free text field, to answer your inquiries and, if necessary, to get in touch with you via available communication channels. You can also use the contact form to sign up for our newsletter.

You can use our sleep questionnaire on the website to provide us with information about your sleep behavior. We use this data to give you a brief analysis of your sleep quality. You can also leave us your e-mail address at the end of the questionnaire so that we can send you further details about your results by e-mail. You also have the option to sign up for the newsletter here.

We use third-party services to send you push notifications that regularly remind you to stay on the ball with your sleep training.

To send you push notifications via the Android app, we use the US service "OneSignal". OneSignal can collect the following data from you as part of the service:

- How a user has used the app (e.g. session duration, timestamp)
- Purchases made within an app.
- Information about the end user's transactions and interactions with the app
- Mobile device or account identifiers. These mobile IDs can be linked to other information, including data segments.
- Precise location information, generally an End User's latitude and longitude data (i.e., GPS-level data) or WiFi information, which we may associate with Mobile IDs and which may be collected whether or not an App is used. (Location information is only collected if the user has given the app permission to collect it)
- IP address and system configuration information
- Information associated with or related to devices, such as device type (e.g. cell phone, tablet); operating system type and version (e.g. Android, iOS); network provider; mobile browser (e.g. Safari, Chrome, etc.); language setting; time zone; and network status type (such as WiFi).

You can find further data protection-relevant information in the OneSignal Privacy Policy.

We use the Apple Push Notification Service (APNS) to send you push notifications via the iOS app. APNS can collect the following data from you as part of the service:
- Device information: The APNS can collect information about the device on which the app is installed, such as device type, operating system version and device ID.
- Token: The APNS uses device tokens to send the push notifications to the correct device. These tokens can be seen as a kind of identifier, but are not directly linked to personal information.
- Push notification data: The APNS can store information about the push notifications sent, such as the content of the notification, the time it was sent and the recipient.

Use of data for research purposes

The University of Salzburg uses data such as your sleeping habits (if available), your date of birth and your gender for purely scientific research purposes. Heart variability data is collected exclusively via Polar sensors and read directly into the app. This data is also used by the university for purely scientific research purposes. All data that is read in via Google Fit or Google Health Connect is excluded from this research purpose.

Data use for marketing purposes

If you sign up for the sleep² newsletter, we will use your email address to send you regular updates about sleep². The newsletter is sent via the European marketing cloud provider "Brevo". Brevo also allows us to analyze the behavior of newsletter recipients. Among other things, this allows us to determine who has opened a newsletter or clicked on a link. You can find more information in the Brevo privacy policy.

Use of data to improve the user experience

We use Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager to analyze your user behavior on our website and to improve your user experience. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager collect data such as:

To provide our sleep analysis & training service via our app, we collect (if available) the first name, year of birth, email, information on lifestyle and sleeping habits as well as heart rate variability (HRV). The HRV data is converted into sleep indicators (time to fall asleep, time to wake up, sleep stages). In addition to determining sleep metrics via HRV, these metrics are also recorded via manual entries in the app. The user can also choose to link their Google Fit or Google Health Connect or Apple Health account with the sleep² app. In this case, the following data is transferred to us from the aforementioned services:

- How long you have been in bed and at what times you have slept (always)
- Apple Watch also provides the sleep stages in combination with the Oura Ring.

There is no obligation to provide your personal data, although certain services cannot be offered if it is not provided. sleep²'s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
