Sleep Sounds by StarNoct is a professional-grade, offline relaxation utility. Our commitment to your privacy is absolute: your sleep environment is private, unmonitored, and 100% owned by you.
🛡️ 1. Zero Data Collection
We have engineered the App with a Privacy-Locked architecture. Unlike mainstream sleep apps, we do not collect, store, or transmit any data.
- No User Accounts: We do not require emails, names, or logins.
- No Behavioral Tracking: There are no analytics scripts (like Google Analytics or Firebase) inside the App.
- Local Execution: Every sound mix and timer calculation happens on your device’s local processor. No data ever leaves your phone.
📱 2. Android System Permissions
To provide high-fidelity audio that doesn’t cut out during the night, the App requires specific system permissions used exclusively for local performance:
- Foreground Service: Required by Android 14+ to prevent the system from killing the audio engine when the screen is locked.
- Wake Lock: Ensures the CPU remains active enough to process audio signals without stuttering during deep sleep.
- Notifications: Powers the “Media Controller” on your lock screen for easy play/pause access.
🔋 3. Battery Integrity
The App includes a local diagnostic tool to check your Battery Optimization settings. This ensures your phone manufacturer doesn’t force-close your sleep sounds. This data is never sent to us; it is displayed only to you for troubleshooting.
👶 4. Children’s Safety
Because StarNoct does not collect, request, or share any information from any user, it is inherently safe for children and fully compliant with all international data safety regulations.
🔄 5. Policy Updates
StarNoct is designed to remain a private, offline tool forever. Should we ever introduce features that require cloud connectivity, this policy will be updated with full transparency.
