Privacy Policy

Sleep & Focus Saunds (formerly known as Uyku)

Effective Date: March 7, 2026  |  Last Updated: March 7, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Sleep & Focus Saunds ("we", "us", "our", or "the App") collects, uses, and shares information when you use our mobile application available on Android. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.

By downloading and using the App, you agree to the terms described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please uninstall the App.

1. Information We Collect

We do not directly collect, store, or process any personal data.

The App does not require user registration, login, or account creation. All user preferences, including sound selections, volume settings, timer configurations, and unlock states, are stored exclusively on your device using local storage. This data never leaves your device and is not accessible to us.

We do not collect:

2. Third-Party Services

The App uses Google AdMob (provided by Google LLC) to display advertisements, including banner ads, interstitial ads, and rewarded video ads. AdMob is a third-party advertising service that may automatically collect certain information from your device to serve relevant advertisements.

Information that Google AdMob may collect includes:

Data Type Purpose
Advertising ID (Android Ad ID) To serve and measure ad performance
IP Address To determine approximate location for ad targeting
Device Information (model, OS version, screen size) To optimize ad display and format
App interaction data (ad views, clicks) To measure ad performance and prevent fraud
Crash and diagnostic logs To improve ad SDK stability

This data is collected and processed directly by Google under their own privacy policy. We do not have access to, control over, or the ability to view any of this data.

For more information on how Google handles your data, please review:

3. Opting Out of Personalized Ads

You can opt out of personalized advertising by adjusting your device settings:

Please note that opting out does not eliminate ads — it only prevents ads from being personalized based on your interests. You will continue to see non-personalized advertisements.

4. App Permissions

The App requests the following Android permissions, each with a specific and limited purpose:

Permission Why It's Needed
FOREGROUND_SERVICE / MEDIA_PLAYBACK To continue playing ambient sounds when the screen is off or the App is in the background
POST_NOTIFICATIONS (Android 13+) To display playback controls (play, pause, stop) in the notification shade
INTERNET Required for loading and displaying advertisements
ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE To check network availability before loading ads

No permissions are used for tracking, surveillance, or accessing personal files. All permissions are essential for core App functionality and ad delivery.

5. Data Retention

Since we do not collect any personal data, we do not retain, store, or maintain any user data on our servers. We do not operate servers or databases that store user information.

Local preferences stored on your device (e.g., volume levels, timer settings) remain on your device and are deleted when you uninstall the App. Any data collected by Google AdMob is retained according to Google's data retention policies.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, rent, or share any user data with third parties. The only third-party service integrated into the App is Google AdMob, which operates independently under Google's own terms and privacy policy as described in Section 2.

7. Data Security

All communication between the App and Google's advertising servers is conducted over encrypted HTTPS connections. Since we do not collect or store personal data, there is no centralized database that could be subject to a data breach.

8. Children's Privacy

The App is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. The App is rated for general audiences but the target audience is 18 years and older.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal data through the App, please contact us and we will take steps to address the concern.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights regarding your data:

If you are an EU/EEA resident, you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). If you are a California resident, you have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Since we do not collect personal data, these rights are largely satisfied by default.

10. International Users

The App is available for download globally. Google AdMob may process data in countries outside your country of residence, including the United States. Google maintains appropriate safeguards for international data transfers as described in their privacy documentation.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
