Privacy Policy
Effective October 27, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how Veil: White Noise & Sleep Sounds ("Veil", "we", "our") handles information when you use our mobile application or website. Veil has no account system and no Veil-operated application backend. Sound generation and your listening preferences stay on your device. A limited set of third-party services processes purchase, analytics, and diagnostic data as described below.
Information We Collect
Veil does not ask for your name, email address, or account credentials. The app assigns a random anonymous identifier for analytics and reliability reporting. This identifier is not used to identify you by name.
Veil saves the following preferences locally to your device using iOS Secure Storage or Android Keystore:
- Your last-used sounds and volume settings, so the app restores your session on reopen
- Your premium unlock status
- Your saved sound mixes and custom names
- Your visualizer and greeting preferences
- Your bedtime reminder time and whether the reminder is enabled
Your sounds, mixes, volume settings, and customization preferences are not uploaded. Uninstalling the app removes those locally stored preferences.
Third-Party Services
Veil integrates a small number of third-party SDKs. Each service operates under its own privacy policy. Veil serves no advertisements.
RevenueCat (in-app purchases). When you view plans, purchase, manage, or restore Premium, RevenueCat processes store product and entitlement information. It may receive an app-specific identifier, purchase history, subscription status, and transaction receipt. Veil and RevenueCat do not receive your payment card details; Apple or Google handles billing. RevenueCat Privacy Policy
Google Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics. Veil uses Firebase Analytics to understand anonymous product usage and purchase funnels, and Crashlytics to diagnose crashes and playback reliability. These services may process an anonymous app identifier, your device's advertising identifier for install and campaign measurement, device and operating-system information, app interactions, purchase events, diagnostics, performance data, and crash logs. Analytics collection is disabled while Veil is in the background. You can reset or limit the advertising identifier in your device settings. Google Privacy Policy
Website Analytics and Campaign Measurement
Our website uses Google Analytics to measure page visits, referrals, player interactions, generated-audio listening milestones, and clicks to app stores. Google may process browser and device information, IP addresses, cookie identifiers, referral information, and campaign identifiers under its Privacy Policy. Sound is generated in your browser; we do not record your microphone or upload audio.
For our tagged Google Ads fan-player campaign, we report a conversion after 30 cumulative seconds of generated audio. This measures player activity, not whether you heard the sound or installed the app. Browser session storage retains campaign attribution, a listening counter, and a sent marker to avoid reporting the same conversion again after a reload in that tab. Closing the tab clears this session storage.
The Google Ads tag may use advertising cookies and campaign click identifiers to attribute this conversion. This measurement is configured for nonpersonalized advertising, with advertising personalization and enhanced conversions disabled. We do not send names, email addresses, or phone numbers for this conversion or use it to build remarketing audiences. Your browser controls let you block cookies and scripts or clear website storage; blocking measurement does not prevent playback.
Permissions
Veil requests only the permissions needed for the features you use:
- Audio session (iOS): required to play sound through the speaker and continue playback when the screen locks
- Foreground service / media playback (Android): required to maintain playback when the app is in the background
- Modify audio settings (Android): required to control system audio routing
- Notifications (optional): used only if you turn on a local bedtime reminder
- Do Not Disturb access (Android, optional): used only if you turn on Reduce interruptions
Veil does not request microphone, camera, location, contacts, or any other sensitive permission.
Children's Privacy
Veil is designed for adults and is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children. If you have concerns, please contact us at the address below.
Data Retention and Deletion
Deleting Veil removes locally stored preferences and settings. RevenueCat and Google retain information according to their own policies and legal obligations. Device settings may provide additional analytics or advertising controls.
Changes to This Policy
If we update this Privacy Policy, the new version will be published at this URL and within the app. The effective date at the top of this page will be updated accordingly. Continued use of Veil after any change constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
