Privacy Policy

Effective May 17, 2026 · Veronata, Inc.

The short version

SnoreCam has no servers. No cloud. No analytics. No tracking. Your video clips and audio are encrypted with your phone's passcode and stored only on your device. When you tap Share, iOS hands the clip to whatever app you pick — SnoreCam itself never sees it. We can't leak what we don't have.

What SnoreCam captures

While a monitoring session is active, SnoreCam uses your device's microphone, accelerometer, and (when triggered) rear camera to:

• Detect snoring, sleep talk, coughing, and other audio events via Apple's on-device SoundAnalysis framework
• Detect significant motion (phone moved, picked up, knocked over) via the accelerometer
• When a trigger fires: briefly start the camera, record a ~30-second video clip, then stop the camera again

The camera stays off at all other times. You are not filmed continuously.

Where data is stored

All captured clips, audio metadata, and AI-generated captions are stored only on your iPhone, in the app's Application Support directory under NSFileProtectionComplete — which means the data is encrypted at rest using your device passcode and is inaccessible when the device is locked.

Clips and audio data are never uploaded to any server. SnoreCam does not operate any backend infrastructure. There is no cloud database, no analytics service, no third-party tracker, no advertising SDK.

The only network requests SnoreCam makes are to Apple's StoreKit API (subscription management) and Apple Push Notification Service (for the morning "your night is ready" notification, which is scheduled locally on your device and contains no clip content).

iCloud sync (preferences only)

Your subscription state, app preferences (retention setting, caption toggle, etc.), and highlight summary metadata sync across your Apple devices via CloudKit private database. Apple end-to-end encrypts this data; only you can read it.

Video clips themselves are never synced to iCloud or any other device. They live exclusively on the phone that recorded them.

On-device AI

SnoreCam uses Apple Intelligence Foundation Models (or, on older devices, an embedded local vision-language model) to generate captions for your clips. All AI inference happens on your device. Clips are never sent to OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, or any other AI provider. We do not use cloud LLMs.

What happens when you tap Share

SnoreCam's share feature uses iOS's native share sheet (UIActivityViewController). When you tap Share on a clip:

• SnoreCam renders a copy of the clip with caption overlay and a small "SnoreCam" watermark
• iOS opens the system share sheet
• You pick a destination (TikTok, Messages, Photos, etc.)
• iOS hands the file to that destination's app
• SnoreCam logs nothing about the share action

After the file is handed to the destination app, what happens next is governed by that app's privacy policy, not ours. We recommend reading the privacy policy of any app you share to.

Information we do not collect

SnoreCam does not collect, store, transmit, or have access to:

• Your name, email address, or any account information
• Your device identifiers (IDFA, IDFV, advertising ID)
• Your video clips, audio recordings, or AI-generated captions
• Your usage patterns (when you sleep, how long, how often you open the app)
• Your location
• Your contacts
• Your health data

We have no analytics. We genuinely do not know how many people use SnoreCam, what features are popular, or whether you opened the app today. We chose this trade-off because the privacy promise was the point.

Children

SnoreCam is not directed at children under 13. It is intended for adults monitoring their own sleep. Please do not use SnoreCam to monitor minors without informed consent.

Account deletion

There is no account to delete — we don't have one for you. Uninstalling the SnoreCam app from your iPhone removes all stored clips and data from your device. Your iCloud-synced preferences can be removed by going to iOS Settings → [your name] → iCloud → Manage Account Storage → SnoreCam → Delete Data.

Changes to this policy

If we update this policy, we will update the "Effective" date at the top and post the new version at snorecam.app/privacy. Material changes will be communicated in-app on next launch.
