Pillowbook Sleep
Privacy Policy
Last updated October 31, 2026
The short version
- Pillowbook keeps your sleep journal on your iPhone. We have no servers that receive it, and we can’t see it.
- There are no accounts, no ads, no tracking and no analytics tools in the app.
- Apple Health is optional. Health data stays on your iPhone and is never used for advertising or marketing.
- Payments go through Apple. We never see your card details.
- If you email us, we use your email only to reply.
1. Who we are
Pillowbook Sleep (“Pillowbook”) is made by Peachblue Technologies Inc. (“Peachblue”, “we”, “us”). This policy explains what happens to your information when you use the Pillowbook app for iPhone and this website.
Our Privacy Officer is responsible for how we handle personal information. You can reach them at support@peachblue.io.
2. What stays on your iPhone
Pillowbook saves what it needs to work, on your iPhone only:
- Your profile: the name you enter (if you enter one), your wake and bed times and days, your sleep goal, and your answers about what keeps you up.
- Your nights: the feeling you pick, the guide and length of the wind-down, the night sound, when the night started and ended, the alarm and snoozes, your morning word, and any notes or tags you add.
- Your settings, such as your guide, night sound, alarm sound, volume and reminders.
- A count of the free nights you’ve used, kept in your iPhone’s Keychain so the three free nights don’t start over if the app is deleted and installed again. It holds only that count.
- A short diagnostics log of times, states and counts (for example, when an alarm was set), used to fix problems. It never includes your name, your notes or any Health values.
None of this is sent to us or to anyone else. It’s included in your iPhone’s own backups (iCloud Backup or a computer) if you have turned those on, under Apple’s terms. Pillowbook doesn’t store your journal in iCloud.
3. Apple Health
Connecting Apple Health is optional, and Pillowbook works fully without it. If you connect it, Pillowbook:
- reads your sleep data, to show how long you slept next to each morning’s check-in, and
- saves each wind-down to Health as Mindful Minutes.
Pillowbook never sends Health data to us or to anyone else, never uses it for advertising, marketing or data mining, and never stores it in iCloud.
You can change or turn off access at any time in the Health app (tap your picture, then Apps, then Pillowbook) or in Settings, under Privacy & Security, then Health. Mindful Minutes that Pillowbook saved stay in Health until you delete them there.
4. Other permissions
Pillowbook asks for each of these only when it needs it, and works without any of them, minus that one feature:
- Motion, to notice when you set the phone face down, which starts the wind-down. Motion readings are used in the moment and never saved.
- Notifications, for your bedtime reminder, a heads-up before a free trial ends and, while alarms are off, a notification at your wake time. They are scheduled on your iPhone.
- Alarms, to set your morning alarm with iOS so it rings even in silent mode.
- Siri and Shortcuts. Actions such as “Log how I slept” run on your iPhone. Siri’s handling of your voice is covered by Apple’s privacy policy.
You can change any of these in Settings, under Pillowbook.
5. Purchases
Subscriptions and free trials are bought through Apple, with your Apple Account. Apple processes the payment, and we never receive your name, card or billing details. The app checks with the App Store whether you have an active subscription. Apple gives us sales and trial reports that don’t identify you. Apple’s handling of your purchase is covered by Apple’s privacy policy.
6. Crash reports
If you have turned on Share With App Developers (in Settings, under Privacy & Security, then Analytics & Improvements), Apple may share crash reports and similar diagnostics with us in a form that doesn’t identify you. We use them only to fix problems, and you can turn this off at any time.
The diagnostics log in the app reaches us only if you choose to share it with us, for example by email.
7. When you contact us
If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you include. We use it only to answer you. We keep it as long as we need it to help you, and delete it within two years of our last message. Our email provider, Google (Google Workspace), stores these messages for us and gives them at least the same protection as this policy.
8. This website
This website has no accounts, no analytics and no advertising, and it sets no cookies. To show the page, your browser loads our typeface from Google Fonts and an animation library from jsDelivr. Like any request on the web, those services receive your IP address and browser details. Our web host, Vercel Inc., may keep standard server logs (IP address, browser and pages visited) for a short time to keep the site running and secure.
9. What we don’t do
- We don’t sell or rent your information, or share it for advertising.
- We don’t track you across other companies’ apps or websites.
- We don’t put ads, analytics or advertising tools in the app.
- We don’t use your information to make automated decisions about you.
10. Other companies
Pillowbook shares no information from the app with any other company. For the few services this policy names (our email provider and our web host), we use only providers who protect your information at least as well as this policy does.
11. Keeping and deleting your information
Everything in section 2 stays on your iPhone until you delete it:
- To delete your sleep journal, open Pillowbook and go to You, then Delete my sleep journal.
- Deleting the app removes its data from your iPhone, except the free-nights count in the Keychain (which holds nothing about you) and any Mindful Minutes saved to Health.
- Copies in your iPhone’s backups go away as those backups are replaced or deleted.
- To ask us to delete your emails with us, write to support@peachblue.io.
12. Your choices and rights
You can turn off any permission at any time (sections 3 and 4). Doing so never affects anything you have paid for.
Depending on where you live (for example in Canada, the European Union, the United Kingdom or California), you may have the right to ask what personal information we hold about you, and to have it corrected or deleted. Because Pillowbook keeps your journal on your iPhone, the only personal information we usually hold is email you have sent us. Write to support@peachblue.io and we’ll reply within 30 days. If you aren’t satisfied, you can complain to your local privacy regulator, such as the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
13. Children
Pillowbook isn’t directed to children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect information from children.
14. Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we’ll update the date at the top. If a change affects what Pillowbook does with your information, we’ll tell you in the app or on this site before it takes effect.
