Beamsleepkind Privacy Notice
sleepkind keeps your information on your phone. Here is exactly what that means.
1. Who we are
sleepkind is made by Gemma Eves Wellness & Life Coaching Ltd, trading as Find Your Beam (“we”, “us”). We are registered in England and Wales, company number 14559422. Registered office: 115 Hampstead Road, London, NW1 3EE. We are registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), registration number 00015983632.
For anything to do with privacy, email hello@findyourbeam.com or call 07849 898935.
2. The short version
- sleepkind has no accounts. We don’t ask for your name or email.
- Everything you set up in sleepkind is stored on your phone. We don’t receive it.
- sleepkind doesn’t use analytics, advertising or tracking tools.
- sleepkind doesn’t read your Health app, Google Fit or any wearable.
- If you allow location, it is used on your phone to work out sunrise and sunset times. Your exact position is never sent to us.
- Deleting the app deletes your sleepkind data.
3. What sleepkind stores on your phone, and why
| Information | Why sleepkind uses it |
|---|---|
| Your usual wake time and bed time, and whether you’re more of an early, middle or late person | To time your daily guidance and reminders |
| Your “I’m awake” and “I’m winding down” taps for the day, with the time | To show the right guidance for that part of the day. These reset each day. |
| Your answer to the morning check-in (for example “okay” or “really rough”) and your Sunday reflection (better, worse or the same) | To adjust the tone of the next day’s guidance, for example a gentler “fresh start” reminder after a harder week |
| A short history of recent wake-up times and reflections: up to your last 4 weekly reflections, and wake-up times from the last 21 days. Only your latest morning answer is kept. | So sleepkind can notice if things have been hard for a while and suggest speaking to a GP or professional |
| Your reminder choices, sleep sound, nap and wake light settings | So the app remembers your preferences |
| A city you choose for sunlight timing (if you pick one) | To work out local sunrise and sunset |
This information stays in sleepkind’s storage on your phone. We cannot see it and it is not sent to us or anyone else. Because there is no account, it doesn’t sync between devices.
Web version: if you use sleepkind in a web browser, the same information is kept in that browser’s own storage on your device, and is not sent to us either.
Security: sleepkind’s storage on your phone is protected by your phone’s own security, not by extra encryption inside the app. Keeping your phone up to date and locked with a passcode, Face ID or fingerprint protects it.
Device backups: if you have backups switched on for your phone (for example iCloud or Google backup), your phone may include sleepkind’s data in your own backup. That backup is controlled by you and your phone provider, not by us.
4. Location (optional)
You can choose how sleepkind times its morning light and evening light reminders:
- Current location: if you allow it, sleepkind asks your phone for your position while the app is open and uses it, on your phone, to calculate sunrise and sunset. Your coordinates are never sent to us. The app may save your time zone and that day’s sunrise and sunset times on your phone.
- Choose a city: pick from a built-in list. Only the city you chose is saved on your phone.
- General timing: sleepkind uses your wake and bed times only.
You can change this at any time in the You tab, or turn off location access in your phone’s settings.
5. Notifications
sleepkind’s reminders are scheduled by your phone’s own notification system. They are not sent from our servers. You can turn each reminder on or off in the You tab, or turn off notifications for sleepkind in your phone’s settings. On iPhone, the wind-down and bedtime reminders are marked as “time sensitive” so they can appear during a Sleep Focus; you can change this in your phone’s settings.
6. Sleep sounds, nap timer and wake light
All sounds are built into the app. Playing them does not use the internet and does not send any information to us.
7. Health information
Some of what you tell sleepkind, such as how you slept, could be seen as information about your health. Because it stays on your phone and we never receive it, we do not process it. sleepkind is a wellbeing tool, not a medical device, and does not diagnose or treat sleep problems.
8. What sleepkind does not do
sleepkind does not use analytics or crash-reporting tools, show adverts, sell or share data, use cookies or tracking technologies, or connect to Apple Health, Google Fit or wearables.
sleepkind does not track your sleep. It doesn’t record heart rate, sleep stages, breathing, blood oxygen or movement, and you don’t need a watch or tracker to use it.
9. Services that help us run sleepkind
Your sleep information is never sent to these services. They may see basic technical information, such as an IP address and device type, when the app is downloaded, updated or loads resources:
| Provider | What they do |
|---|---|
| Apple | App Store distribution |
| Expo | The tools used to build, distribute and update the app |
| Replit | Hosting for sleepkind’s web services and resources |
Each has its own privacy policy. Some may process this technical information outside the UK. Where we are responsible for that, we use the safeguards UK law requires.
10. Payments
sleepkind is currently free. If paid features are added, payments will be handled by Apple or Google, and we will update this notice before they launch.
11. How long your information is kept
Your sleepkind information stays on your phone until you change it or delete the app. Daily taps reset each day. The app keeps your last 4 weekly reflections and wake-up times from the last 21 days, and older ones are cleared when the app next updates them.
12. Deleting your information
Delete the sleepkind app from your phone. This removes all sleepkind data stored by the app. On iPhone, choose Delete App, not “Offload App”, because offloading keeps the app’s data. If you use the web version, clear the site’s data in your browser settings. If your phone has been backed up, the copy in your own backup is managed through your phone’s backup settings.
13. Your rights
Under UK data protection law you have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to and move your personal information. Because sleepkind keeps your information on your phone and we don’t receive it, we will not normally hold any sleepkind data about you. If you contact us, we’ll confirm this. We will only keep your email to us as long as needed to reply.
14. Children
sleepkind is designed for adults. It is not intended for anyone under 16.
15. Website
Our website, findyourbeam.com, has its own privacy and cookie information at /privacy/ and /cookies/.
16. Changes to this notice
If sleepkind changes in a way that affects your privacy (for example, adding accounts or paid features), we will update this notice before the change and show the new date at the top.
17. Questions and complaints
Email hello@findyourbeam.com, or write to us at our registered office. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.
