Effective August 2026 · Applies to the Can't Sleep iOS app
Can't Sleep is built to know as little about you as possible. There is no signup, no password, no analytics, and no tracking. All you ever share is the display name you choose and whether you're up — and only with friends you deliberately connect with.
Three things, stored in Apple's iCloud (CloudKit): the display name you choose (it can be anything), a randomly generated friend code, and your up/asleep status with its last-updated time. Game challenges you send (puzzle data, guess counts, moves) are also stored so your opponent's device can display them. We operate no servers of our own and cannot access your iCloud account, contacts, photos, messages, or anything else on your device.
Your name and up/asleep status are visible to people you connect with by exchanging friend codes. Sharing your code is your choice. Removing a friend stops their app from sending you notifications.
The app never requests access to your contacts, does not use analytics services, and does not track you across apps or websites. We do not sell data, share it with data brokers, or use it for any purpose other than making the app work.
A single banner ad may appear on the sudoku screen, served by Google AdMob in non-personalized mode. The app never requests iOS cross-app tracking permission. Google's handling of ad requests is described in Google's privacy policy.
In the app: Settings → Delete My Data erases your name, friend code, status, and game records from iCloud immediately. Uninstalling the app stops all data updates.
Can't Sleep is not directed at children under 13.
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this address with a new effective date.
