Privacy Policy
Last updated 18 October 2026
- We only collect what the game needs: your email, a display name, your groups and the times you went to bed and woke up.
- Your group can see your name, your sleep stats and whether you've logged tonight. Nobody else can.
- The camera, motion sensor and any music you upload stay on your phone. We never record or upload them.
- We don't sell your data, show tracking ads, or use your location.
- You can see, change or delete your data at any time.
Who we are
Snooze or Lose (“we”, “us”) is a sleep game for flats and friend groups. We are the controller of the personal data described here under UK data protection law (the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018). You can reach us at contact@snoozeorlose.app.
What we collect, and why
| What | Why | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Email address | To sign you in with a one-time link (there are no passwords). | Contract: we need it to give you an account. |
| Display name | So your group knows who you are. It starts as the first part of your email; you can change it. | Contract |
| Groups and membership | Group names, join codes, who is in which group and when they joined. | Contract |
| Sleep logs | The night, the time you went to bed and woke up, how long you slept, and whether it came from the alarm or was added by hand. This is what the weekly league is built from. | Contract. Sleep times are not medical records, but we still treat them with extra care. |
| Basic technical data | Our hosting and database providers keep short-lived logs (such as IP address, device and browser type) to keep the service secure and working. | Legitimate interests: security and fixing problems. |
What stays on your phone
These are stored only on your device and never sent to us:
- Your alarm time, alarm sound, wake-up challenge, theme and other settings.
- Music files you add as an alarm sound.
- The barcode you save for the “scan an item” challenge (we keep the code itself, not a photo).
- Camera images for the jumping-jacks and scan challenges. They are analysed live on your phone and never recorded, saved or uploaded.
- Motion-sensor readings for the shake and jumping-jack challenges.
- Demo content, practice chats and nudge counts.
Uninstalling the app or clearing your browser's site data removes them.
What we don't do
- We don't sell or rent your personal data.
- We don't use advertising trackers or build ad profiles. If we ever add ads, we'll update this policy first and ask for any permission the law or your phone requires.
- We don't collect your location, contacts or photos.
Who can see your information
- People in your groups can see your display name, your weekly sleep and bedtime averages, your nightly status (logged, asleep or not yet logged) and your league position. Leave a group and they no longer see new data from you.
- Service providers that run the app for us, and only to do that:
- Supabase: our database and sign-in provider. Your account and game data are stored there.
- Netlify: hosts the website and app files.
- jsDelivr, Google Fonts and Google Cloud Storage: deliver code libraries, fonts and the on-device pose-tracking model. Like any website, they receive your IP address when your device downloads these files.
- Authorities, if the law requires it.
Some providers may process data outside the UK. Where they do, they use legal safeguards such as the UK International Data Transfer Addendum or adequacy regulations.
How long we keep it
We keep your account and game data while you have an account. When you delete your account, we delete your profile, memberships and sleep logs within 30 days. Backups expire on their normal cycle, usually within a few weeks. Provider security logs are kept for their standard short periods.
Your rights
You can ask to access, correct, export or delete your data, or object to or restrict how we use it. You can change your name in the app, leave groups at any time, and delete your account by emailing contact@snoozeorlose.app (in-app deletion is coming). We'll reply within one month. If you're unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
Age
Snooze or Lose is for people aged 16 and over. If you think someone younger has signed up, tell us and we'll delete the account.
Security
Data travels over encrypted connections. Our database uses row-level security, so you can only read data for yourself and the groups you're in. No system is perfect; if a breach affects you, we'll tell you as the law requires.
Health
Snooze or Lose is a game, not a medical device. The sleep numbers are estimates from when you tap “going to bed” and “I'm up”. They aren't used to diagnose anything, and we don't use them for anything except the game.
Changes
If we change this policy in a way that matters, we'll tell you in the app before it takes effect. The date at the top shows the latest version.
