Who we are
Slep is a manual sleep journal for iPhone operated by Saimi Jaakkola (referred to as “we,” “us,” or “our”). This policy covers the Slep app, our support correspondence, and our public website, including the overview, support, and privacy pages.
The app works offline and doesn’t require an account. Visiting our website or choosing to email us is separate from recording sleep in the app.
Data on your device
Slep stores the information needed to provide your journal on your device:
- Sleep entries: bedtime, wake-up time, and a locally generated identifier for each entry. An unfinished entry stores its start time.
- Preferences: your sleep goal and the version of the terms you have accepted.
- Calculated summaries: durations, daily totals, and weekly comparisons derived from your entries. These calculations happen on your device.
Slep doesn’t automatically send this information to us. We cannot access your local journal remotely. The app doesn’t collect advertising identifiers, location, contacts, microphone recordings, or HealthKit data, and it doesn’t include analytics or advertising SDKs.
Slep records the times you enter; it does not monitor your body, detect sleep stages, or provide medical measurements.
When you contact support
If you email us, we receive your email address, any sender name supplied by your email service, your message, and any attachments or technical details you choose to include. We use that information to answer your question, investigate reported problems, and manage the conversation.
The app does not automatically attach sleep records or send a support message for you. Please avoid sending sensitive health information. If you include a screenshot, remove details you do not want to share.
We use Apple's iCloud Mail to receive and reply to messages sent to saimi.jaakkola98@icloud.com. Email addresses, message contents, and attachments are processed to deliver and store correspondence.
Apple may process this information in the United States and other countries where Apple or its service providers operate. Apple's Privacy Policy describes its data protection practices and applicable international-transfer safeguards.
Where data-protection law requires a legal basis, we process ordinary support correspondence to respond to your request and for our legitimate interest in providing product support, subject to applicable law. Information retained to meet a legal obligation is processed on that basis. We do not use support emails for unsolicited marketing.
When you visit this website
These pages contain no contact form, advertising, analytics script, tracking pixel, external font, or embedded third-party content. The HTML itself does not set cookies or use browser storage.
This website is hosted on a self-managed server. The server processes connection information, such as your IP address, requested URL, browser information, and request time, to deliver the pages. Website requests do not include the sleep records stored in the Slep app.
Server software may record access and error logs for site operation, troubleshooting, and security. Where a legal basis is required, we process this information for our legitimate interest in operating and protecting the website, subject to applicable law. The retention policy for these logs is described below.
Storage, security, and deletion
Your sleep journal
Entries remain on your device until you delete them or remove the app. Older entries are not automatically deleted when they leave the seven-day chart. Slep uses the iOS app sandbox and system file protection for sleep-record files; no storage method can guarantee absolute security.
In Settings → Erase All Data, you can remove completed entries and any current session, and reset your sleep goal. The accepted terms version is retained to avoid asking you to accept the same terms again. Deleting an entry cannot be undone.
Backups and device changes
Slep does not provide cloud sync, data export, or a recovery service. Sleep-record files are excluded from standard device backups. Preferences may be handled separately by iOS. Deleting the app removes its local records; offloading the app may retain documents and data. We cannot recover deleted records or guarantee their transfer to another device.
Support correspondence
We retain support correspondence for up to 12 months after the last reply, then delete it. We may retain relevant information longer when required by law or needed to resolve an ongoing dispute, and restrict its use accordingly.
Erasing data in the app does not delete emails you previously sent. You can contact us to request deletion of information we hold, subject to applicable legal requirements and the provider practices disclosed in this policy.
Website logs
Any website access or error logs are retained only as long as needed for site operation, troubleshooting, and security, unless a longer period is required by law. Deleting data in the app does not delete server logs. You can contact us to request deletion of website-related personal information we hold, subject to applicable legal requirements.
Your choices and rights
You can use Slep without an account, change your local entries, and delete your journal in Settings. Because we do not receive your local sleep records, we cannot retrieve, correct, or erase them remotely on your behalf.
Depending on where you live and the law that applies, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to our processing of personal information we hold, and to request a portable copy where applicable. Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it without affecting prior lawful processing. You may also have the right to complain to your local data-protection authority.
To make a request about support correspondence or website-related data, contact us using the details below. We may need reasonable information to verify your request and locate the relevant records. We will respond within the time required by applicable law.
Children’s privacy
Slep is not designed to solicit personal information from children and has no registration, social features, or in-app messaging. The absence of an account does not replace any age-related obligations that may apply in a particular region.
If you believe a child has sent us personal information through support without any permission required by applicable law, please contact us so we can review and address it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the app or our practices change. The effective date at the top identifies the current version. If a change requires additional notice or consent under applicable law, we will provide that notice or request consent before the relevant processing begins.
