Why is Sleep as Android recommended? Privacy policy of the service looks not so good on the first glance. I recommend replacing it with plees.

Why is Sleep as Android recommended? Privacy policy of the service looks not so good on the first glance. I recommend replacing it with plees.

Tl;dr: I think the privacy policy seems reasonable for what I expect the majority of user's threat models to be. I've summarized as best I can, and my main notables are opt-out defaults for anonymous usage analytics and personalized ads. I haven't tested it, but I suspect that disabling network access would be also be effective.

I'm not an expert but Urbandroid's privacy policy seems to commit them to:

• User-identifying information for bug reports; user-generated app data for backups; anonymous usage analytics; coarse geo location data (+/- 10km), stored locally (except for inclusion with user-approved backup via SleepCloud).

• Ability to delete user data (varies for third-parties). Usage analytics cannot be deleted (although they can be turned off) because Urbandroid claims that they are anonymous data.

• No transfer of personally identifiable information to third parties, except those necessary for services (i.e. the ones listed) or for legal compliance.

• Third-parties:

Opt-out:

1. Facebook Audience Network, via the Device Advertising ID.
2. Google Analytics for Firebase, for anonymous usage analytics.

---

Opt-in:

1. Gmail and Help Scout for bug reports.
2. Data backup via Google Drive.
3. Data backup via Dropbox.
4. Data backup via SleepCloud, owned and maintained by Urbandroid; uses Google Cloud Platform (Datastore).
5. Google Fit.

Summary:

The majority of data usage seems to be opt-in integrations with third-party services. Two usages stood out to me: personalized ads, and anonymous usage analytics. It sounds like they are enabled by default but it seems that they can be disabled in the app's settings. The coarse geo location data seems to be stored locally, unless the user approves backup via SleepCloud.
