Data Deletion
The short version: Yawn Dawn has no accounts, and your sleep and health data live only on your device — so deleting the app's data on your device deletes essentially everything. The only data we hold off-device is any feedback you sent us, the push token used to reply to you, and anonymous usage events. You can have those deleted too, by emailing us.
What data exists, and where
- On your device only: your sleep sessions, health data read from Apple Health or Health Connect, settings, habits, and insights. This never leaves your device.
- Off-device (held by us): feedback messages you chose to send from inside the app, the random installation identifier attached to them, a push notification token (if notifications are enabled), and anonymous usage events not linked to your identity.
- Held by the stores: your purchase and subscription history is held by Apple or Google, not by us, and is subject to their policies.
Step 1 — Delete the data on your device
Either of these removes all app data stored on your device:
- Open Yawn Dawn, go to the app's settings, and use the option to erase all data; or
- Simply delete the app. Uninstalling removes everything the app stored on your device.
Step 2 — Revoke health permissions (optional)
Deleting the app already stops all access. If you want to tidy the permission itself:
- iPhone: Settings → Privacy & Security → Health → Yawn Dawn → turn off all categories. (Your data in Apple Health itself is yours and is unaffected.)
- Android: open Health Connect → App permissions → Yawn Dawn → remove access. (Your data in Health Connect itself is unaffected.)
Step 3 — Ask us to delete the off-device data (optional)
If you ever sent feedback from inside the app and want it gone, email junaid.mohammed777@yahoo.com with the subject "Data deletion request". Tell us roughly when you sent the feedback and from which platform (iPhone or Android), and include any contact details you used, so we can find it. We will delete your feedback messages, associated installation identifier, and push token within 30 days and confirm by reply. Anonymous usage events are not linked to you and cannot be matched to an individual, which is also why they cannot be individually deleted.
Important: subscriptions are separate
Deleting the app or your data does not cancel an active subscription. Cancel it with your store:
- iPhone: Settings → your name → Subscriptions → Yawn Dawn → Cancel.
- Android: Play Store → tap your profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → Yawn Dawn → Cancel.
