Nightcap is built so that we never have your data to begin with. This policy explains what the app uses on your phone and why.
No account
Nightcap never asks for your name, email or phone number, and there is no sign-in. We do not know who you are.
What stays on your phone
Your sleep schedule, the apps you chose to pause, your wait and break settings, and a record of each night — how often a paused app was opened, what you chose, and for how long a break was used. This is what Insights is built from. It is stored on this device, and nowhere else Nightcap controls (see Phone backups).
What we collect
Your schedule, the apps you chose and your night history are never sent anywhere. Nightcap has no server of its own, and contains no analytics, advertising or tracking code. The one thing that leaves your phone is what is needed to know whether you have Nightcap Pro — see Purchases.
Permissions
Usage Access lets Nightcap see which app is on screen, so it can pause the ones you chose during your sleep hours. Display over other apps lets it show the pause screen on top of them. It also reads the list of apps on your phone so you can pick from it. While Nightcap is set up it keeps one quiet notification showing, all day — Android requires one for the service that watches for your bedtime. If you allow notifications, Nightcap also sends reminders — a bedtime heads-up, when a break is ready, a morning summary and a weekly recap — which your phone schedules itself; each can be switched off in My Account. None of this leaves your phone.
Phone backups
If your phone backs up app data to your Google account, Android may include Nightcap’s settings and night history in that backup, and restore them onto a new phone. That backup belongs to your Google account — we never see it, and it is managed from your Google account’s backup settings.
Purchases
Nightcap Pro is paid for through Google Play or the App Store, under their own privacy policies — we never see your card details. To know whether you have Pro, Nightcap uses RevenueCat, a subscription service that works on our behalf: it receives a random ID the app makes for this phone, your purchase history, and basic technical details such as the app version, the device model and your country. It never receives your name, your email, or anything about your nights. This happens for everyone who opens the app, so it can tell a free user from a Pro one; RevenueCat uses it only to check purchases, under its own privacy policy.
Deleting your data
My Account → Delete all my data erases your schedule, the apps you chose, your settings and your night history from this phone. It keeps the random purchase ID RevenueCat uses (see Purchases), so Pro is still recognised. Uninstalling the app does not always remove that ID: Android may keep a backup of it in your Google account, so a reinstall or a new phone is recognised as the same Pro user. Neither Delete all my data nor uninstalling can reach a copy in your phone’s own backup (see Phone backups); that is deleted from your Google account. Purchase records are kept by Google Play for billing; to have the RevenueCat record deleted, write to harshitcreativestudio@gmail.com.
How to delete your data →Children
Nightcap is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will appear here with a new date. If Nightcap ever sends anything beyond the purchase details above, this policy will say so first.
