Overview
Effective 2026-09-15. HushLog is provided by HushLog (“we”). HushLog is a local-first sleep-sound journal. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, prevent, monitor, predict, treat, or cure any disease or condition.
Information HushLog accesses and stores
When you start a recording, HushLog accesses your device microphone, stores audio in app-private storage, and processes the audio on the device to identify candidate sound moments.
The app may also store session times, event labels and corrections, notes, mood, factors, custom labels, favorites, recording context, body weight, neck measurement, and one respiratory-rate value you choose to save.
Collection, sharing, and third parties
HushLog does not require an account and contains no advertising. It uses Google Analytics for Firebase to measure app launches, engagement, and feature usage, and Firebase Crashlytics to receive crash and stability reports. These services may send an app-installation identifier, app interaction events, an approximate geographic region derived from an IP address, app/version information, general device and operating-system information, crash traces, and related diagnostics to Google as our service provider.
We do not attach your name, email address, recordings, sound-event content, notes, factors, body measurements, Health Connect data, or exported files to Analytics or Crashlytics events. Advertising-ID collection and ad-personalization signals are disabled. HushLog does not automatically transmit recordings or night history to us, advertisers, or data brokers, and we do not sell personal or sensitive data.
If you deliberately export, share, or back up information, Android sends it only to the app, person, or storage destination you choose. That recipient’s privacy practices then apply.
Health Connect
Health Connect access is optional and separately initiated by you. With permission, HushLog can write only a reviewed time-in-bed interval, read a nearby weight for review, or read one respiratory-rate sample within the reviewed interval.
HushLog does not send audio, events, names, notes, mood, factors, neck measurements, or recordings to Health Connect. It performs no automatic or background Health Connect synchronization.
Storage and security
Audio is stored in app-private no-backup storage. Android automatic backup and device transfer can include only four non-history settings files: appearance, recording plan, storage retention, and time-in-bed target. Cloud backup additionally requires device encryption capability. Recordings, the event database, app-lock state, permission/disclosure state, alarms and reminders, playback state, diagnostics, and recording recovery state are not included. Manual history backups use AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption and a passphrase you choose.
An optional app lock can hide the interface, screenshots, and recent-app previews until your device screen lock is confirmed. It protects the interface; it does not mean every local file is individually encrypted. No storage method is completely secure, so protect your device and backup passphrase.
Retention and deletion
You control audio-retention and storage-limit settings. HushLog can delete eligible old, unprotected audio while retaining a non-audio summary. You can delete one night’s audio, a whole night and summary, unprotected audio in bulk, the local activity log, or all HushLog local data.
Removing the app removes its app-private data under Android’s normal behavior. Exports and backups outside HushLog must be deleted from their destination by you. Health Connect records are managed in Health Connect. Analytics and Crashlytics data is retained according to the Firebase project settings and Google’s service terms; Crashlytics states that crash traces and associated identifiers are retained for 90 days before removal begins. You may contact us about a privacy request at the address below.
Permissions
HushLog requests microphone access for user-started recording; notifications and foreground-service access for visible recording, playback, and alarm status; alarm/full-screen access for a wake alarm you configure; and optional Health Connect permissions for the actions above.
Permissions are requested in context and can be changed in Android settings. Refusing or revoking a permission can make its related feature unavailable or less reliable. Internet access is used for Analytics and Crashlytics reporting and, in a Pro build, Google Play Billing. It is never used to upload recordings or journal content automatically.
Children
HushLog is intended for people aged 18 and older. It is not directed to children below that age. The Play Console target-audience selection must match this statement.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy when HushLog’s behavior, SDKs, or applicable requirements change. The effective date above identifies the current version.
