Last Updated: July 26, 2026
Nightset is operated by GoldasDust Global Inc. (“Nightset,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). Nightset helps users reduce late-night screen use, build healthier sleep routines, receive sleep-related insights, and, where enabled, coordinate household wind-down routines.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how we share it, and the choices you have. By using Nightset, you agree to this Privacy Policy.
1. Important Summary
Nightset is designed around a privacy-conscious sleep and screen-time experience. We do not read your messages, view your browsing history, monitor your private content, sell your sleep data for money, or collect precise GPS location for Nightset’s core features.
Nightset may collect account information, app usage information, subscription information, sleep routine settings, Night Score and streak data, household setup information, Screen Time shield selections, device identifiers, push notification tokens, diagnostic data, and limited AI coaching context.
Nightset also plans to use marketing and attribution tools, including Meta advertising tools, to measure advertising performance and improve marketing. Where required, we will request permission through Apple’s App Tracking Transparency framework before using data for tracking across apps and websites owned by other companies.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information in the following categories.
Account Information
When you create or use a Nightset account, we may collect:
Name or display name
Email address
User ID or account ID
Authentication provider information, such as Apple, Google, or email/password sign-in
Account creation date and account status
We use Firebase Authentication and related services to support account creation, sign-in, account security, and account recovery.
Sleep Routine and App Settings
Nightset may collect or store:
Bedtime and wake-time settings
Whether your wind-down schedule is enabled
Wake alarm settings
Evening reminder preferences
Sleep consistency information
Night Score, streaks, levels, points, and recent score history
Whether a nightly routine was completed
Whether you used a “breather” or temporary shield release
Some of this information may be stored locally on your device. Some may be synced to our backend so your account, schedule, scores, household features, and subscription experience can work across sessions or devices.
Screen Time and Shield Information
Nightset uses Apple Screen Time-related frameworks, including FamilyControls, ManagedSettings, and DeviceActivity, to help you select and shield apps or categories during wind-down.
Nightset may store technical shield selections, such as Apple-provided app or category tokens, in local device storage or shared app storage so the main app and Screen Time extensions can apply your selected shields. These tokens are used to enforce your choices. Nightset is not designed to read the content inside other apps, your messages, your websites, your photos, or your private activity inside shielded apps.
Family and Household Information
If you use household features, we may collect:
Household name
Household join code
Household owner user ID
Member user IDs
Member display names
Member roles, such as parent or child
Child wake-time settings assigned by a parent
Household “Lights Out” status
Child-device heartbeat/check-in timestamps used to alert parents if a child device stops checking in
Nightset’s family features are intended for wellness and bedtime coordination, not surveillance. Nightset is not designed to monitor a child’s messages, browsing content, precise location, photos, calls, or social media content.
AI Coaching Information
Premium coaching features may use Anthropic’s Claude API through Nightset’s secure backend. We do not place the Claude API key in the app.
When a Claude-generated insight is requested, Nightset may send a limited summary such as:
Night Score
Streak count
Level
How late wind-down began compared with the target
Number of shield breathers
Recent score history
We aim to send only the minimum context needed to generate a short sleep-coaching insight. We do not intentionally send raw private messages, precise app content, contact lists, or full Screen Time histories to Claude.
AI-generated insights are for general wellness and habit reflection only. Nightset is not a medical device and does not provide medical, psychiatric, diagnostic, or clinical advice.
Voice, Microphone, and Speech Recognition
Nightset may request microphone and speech recognition permission so you can set your wake-up time by voice.
When you use voice wake-time entry, your device may process audio and speech recognition through Apple system services, depending on your device and settings. Nightset uses the resulting transcript to identify a wake time. Nightset is not designed to store voice recordings as part of your profile. If transcripts are displayed in the app, they are used for the wake-time feature.
You can choose not to use voice entry and set your wake time manually.
Purchases and Subscription Information
Nightset is subscription-based. We may collect or receive information about:
Subscription plan
Trial status
Purchase status
Renewal or expiration status
Product ID
Entitlement status, such as Free, Premium, or Household
Offer eligibility or redemption status
Purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive your full payment card number from Apple. We may use Apple StoreKit and may use RevenueCat or similar subscription infrastructure to manage subscriptions, entitlements, restoration, trials, upgrades, renewals, and offer-code redemption.
Notifications and Device Identifiers
If you enable notifications, we may collect:
Push notification token
Firebase Cloud Messaging token
Device/app installation identifiers
Device model, operating system version, app version, language, time zone, and similar technical information
We use this information to send wind-down reminders, wake-related prompts, morning score notifications, family alerts, and service messages.
Analytics, Product Interaction, and Diagnostics
We may collect analytics and diagnostic information, including:
App launches
Onboarding progress
Paywall views and subscription funnel events
Feature usage
Notification interactions
Crash logs
Performance data
Device and app technical information
Approximate location inferred from IP address or analytics services, where applicable
We use this information to improve the app, fix crashes, understand feature performance, measure activation and retention, test pricing or onboarding, and make Nightset more reliable.
Advertising and Marketing Attribution
Nightset may use advertising and attribution tools, including Meta advertising tools, to measure the effectiveness of ads and improve marketing campaigns.
Depending on your consent choices and the tools enabled, we may share limited marketing-level events with advertising partners, such as:
App install
App open
Signup
Trial started
Subscription purchase
Paywall view
Onboarding completed
These events may be associated with identifiers, device information, purchase information, or contact information such as hashed email if used for attribution or matching.
We do not intend to send sensitive sleep details, Night Scores, wake times, household membership details, child data, Screen Time selections, or AI coaching content to Meta for advertising.
Where Apple requires App Tracking Transparency permission, we will request it before using data to track you across apps and websites owned by other companies. If you deny tracking permission, we will respect that choice.
Customer Support and Communications
If you contact us, we may collect:
Name
Email address
Support message content
Screenshots or files you choose to provide
Account or device details needed to investigate the issue
We use this information to respond to you and resolve support requests.
3. How We Use Information
We use information to:
Create and manage your Nightset account
Authenticate users and protect accounts
Save and sync sleep schedules, wake times, scores, streaks, and settings
Apply Screen Time shields and wind-down routines
Provide Night Score and coaching insights
Operate household and family features
Send reminders, alerts, and push notifications
Process subscriptions, trials, renewals, entitlements, and purchase restoration
Provide customer support
Improve app performance, reliability, design, onboarding, pricing, and features
Detect, prevent, and investigate fraud, abuse, technical issues, and security incidents
Measure marketing and advertising performance
Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms
4. How We Share Information
We may share information with service providers and partners that help us operate Nightset, including:
Apple, for App Store distribution, in-app purchases, subscriptions, Screen Time frameworks, Sign in with Apple, speech recognition, notifications, and device permissions
Firebase and Google services, for authentication, Firestore database, cloud functions, messaging, analytics, crash reporting, storage, remote configuration, and infrastructure
Anthropic, for Claude-powered coaching where enabled
RevenueCat or similar subscription tooling, for subscription entitlement management if integrated
Meta, for advertising attribution and campaign measurement where enabled and permitted
Cloud hosting, database, monitoring, analytics, customer support, security, and operations providers
Legal, compliance, accounting, or professional advisors where necessary
Authorities or other parties where required by law, legal process, or to protect rights, safety, and security
We do not sell your personal information for money. However, some privacy laws define “sale,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising” broadly. Our use of Meta or other advertising attribution tools may be considered “sharing” or “targeted advertising” under some laws. You may have the right to opt out, as described below.
5. Tracking, Advertising Choices, and Meta Attribution
Nightset may use advertising attribution to understand which ads lead to installs, trials, subscriptions, and other marketing-level outcomes.
On iOS, if tracking permission is required, we will use Apple’s App Tracking Transparency prompt. You can manage tracking permission at any time in your device settings.
You can also limit ad personalization or tracking through:
iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking
iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Apple Advertising
Meta account ad settings, if you use Meta products
Any privacy choices page or opt-out mechanism we provide
We will not require you to allow tracking in order to use Nightset’s core functionality.
6. Children and Family Features
Nightset may be used by households, including parents and children. Family features are designed to help coordinate bedtime routines and reduce late-night screen use.
For children, we aim to minimize data collection. Child-related data may include:
Child member name or display name
Child role in a household
Child user ID
Assigned wake time
Lights Out status
Device heartbeat/check-in timestamp
Technical data needed to apply shields or send family alerts
Nightset is not designed to collect precise location, message content, browsing content, photos, call history, or social media content from children.
If a child is under the age required by applicable law to consent to data processing, a parent or guardian must set up and approve the child’s use of Nightset. Parents or guardians may contact us to access, correct, or delete child-related account information.
We do not intentionally use child sleep, household, Screen Time, or family-control data for Meta advertising targeting.
7. Health and Wellness Data
Nightset may process sleep-related wellness information such as bedtime, wake time, Night Score, streaks, consistency, and wind-down behavior.
Nightset does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or emergency services. If you have a medical concern, sleep disorder, mental health concern, or emergency, contact a qualified professional or emergency services.
If Nightset later integrates HealthKit or Apple Health, we will update this Privacy Policy as needed. HealthKit data will not be used for advertising or sold to advertising platforms.
8. Data Retention
We keep information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide Nightset, operate subscriptions, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, improve the app, and maintain security.
Typical retention practices include:
Account data: kept while your account is active
Sleep routine and score data: kept while your account is active unless deleted or reset
Local device settings: kept on your device until you delete the app, reset settings, or clear the data
Household data: kept while the household exists or while needed for family features
Push tokens: kept while notifications and account/device association are active
Analytics and diagnostic data: kept for a limited period according to our analytics providers’ settings
Purchase and subscription records: kept as needed for entitlement, accounting, fraud prevention, legal, tax, and App Store obligations
Support messages: kept as needed to respond and maintain support history
AI coaching requests and responses: handled according to our service configuration and Anthropic’s applicable API retention terms
When you delete your account, we will delete or de-identify personal data associated with your account unless we need to retain certain information for legal, security, fraud prevention, accounting, subscription, or dispute-resolution purposes.
9. Account Deletion
If Nightset allows account creation, you may request account deletion from within the app where available, typically through account or settings screens. You may also contact us at [email protected].
Deleting your Nightset account is intended to delete your account record and associated personal data from Nightset systems, subject to legal and operational exceptions.
Deleting your Nightset account does not automatically cancel an active Apple App Store subscription. To avoid future charges, you must cancel your subscription through your Apple account subscription settings.
After deletion:
You may lose access to scores, streaks, settings, household data, Premium or Household features, and synced app data
Some local data may remain on your device unless you delete the app or clear local settings
Some records may be retained where required for legal, tax, accounting, fraud prevention, security, or dispute-resolution purposes
Data already processed by third-party providers may remain subject to their own retention policies

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to:
Access personal information we hold about you
Correct inaccurate information
Delete personal information
Port or receive a copy of your information
Object to or restrict certain processing
Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

11. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect information. These may include authentication, access controls, encrypted transport, platform security controls, server-side API keys, and restricted database rules.
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we work to protect your information and limit access to people and providers who need it to operate Nightset.
12. International Data Transfers
Nightset and our service providers may process information in countries other than where you live, including the United States, Canada, and other regions where our providers operate. Data protection laws in those countries may differ from those in your location.
Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers.
13. Third-Party Services
Nightset may use third-party services whose privacy practices are governed by their own policies, including Apple, Google/Firebase, Anthropic, Meta, RevenueCat, and other infrastructure, analytics, subscription, or support providers.
We are responsible for describing the data practices of third-party code and services integrated into Nightset. We require service providers to protect information appropriately and use it only for permitted purposes.
14. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we may notify you through the app, by email, or by another reasonable method. The updated policy will be effective when posted unless stated otherwise.

Legal Bases for Processing Personal Information
If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another region that requires a legal basis for processing personal data, we rely on the following legal bases under GDPR Article 6.
