Last updated: January 1, 2025

Your privacy is critically important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how SleepLink ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards your information when you use our CPAP data tracking and analysis service.

1.2 CPAP Device Data

When you upload your CPAP data, we collect and process:

  • Sleep session data (duration, timestamps, therapy hours)
  • Device settings and configurations
  • Therapy metrics (AHI, pressure levels, leak rates)
  • Respiratory event data (apneas, hypopneas)
  • Waveform and detailed therapy data
  • Device identifiers and model information

1.3 Usage Information

We automatically collect:

  • Log data (IP address, browser type, access times)
  • Device information (operating system, device type)

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • Generate AI Insights: Use artificial intelligence to analyze patterns in your data and provide educational explanations
  • Improve our Service: Understand usage patterns to enhance features and user experience
  • Communicate: Send service-related notifications, updates, and support responses
  • Ensure Security: Detect, prevent, and address technical issues and security threats
  • Legal Compliance: Comply with applicable laws and regulations

3. Health Information Notice

Important: While your CPAP data may be considered health-related information, SleepLink is not a healthcare provider and is not subject to HIPAA regulations. We are an educational technology service that helps you understand your CPAP device data. We do not provide medical advice, diagnoses, or treatment recommendations.

Your CPAP data is treated with the highest level of confidentiality and security. We implement industry-standard encryption and security measures to protect this sensitive information.

4. AI Processing and Data Analysis

Our service uses artificial intelligence to analyze your CPAP data:

  • Third-Party AI Services: We use Google's Gemini AI (via Vertex AI) to process and analyze your data
  • Data Sent to AI: Anonymized and aggregated session metrics (no personal identifiers are sent to AI services)
  • Purpose: To generate educational explanations and pattern recognition insights
  • No Training: Your data is not used to train AI models

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information only in these circumstances:

  • Service Providers: With trusted third parties who assist in operating our service (cloud hosting, AI processing) under strict confidentiality agreements
  • Legal Requirements: When required by law, court order, or governmental authority
  • Safety: To protect the rights, safety, or property of SleepLink, our users, or the public
  • Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets (you will be notified)
  • With Your Consent: When you explicitly authorize us to share specific information
  • User-Created Share Links: When you create a share link, your CPAP data for that day becomes accessible to anyone with the link URL. This is a user-initiated action and you control who receives the link. Shared data includes session metrics, events, waveforms, and device settings. Machine serial numbers are partially masked. You can revoke share links at any time.

6. Data Storage and Security

We implement comprehensive security measures:

  • Encryption: All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256)
  • Access Controls: Strict role-based access controls and authentication
  • Infrastructure: Hosted on secure cloud infrastructure with SOC 2 compliance
  • Monitoring: Continuous security monitoring and incident response procedures
  • Backups: Regular encrypted backups with geographic redundancy

While we implement industry-standard security measures, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Data Retention

We retain your data as follows:

  • Account Data: Retained while your account is active and for 30 days after deletion request
  • CPAP Session Data: Retained while your account is active; deleted upon account deletion
  • AI-Generated Insights: Cached temporarily (up to 24 hours) for performance; regenerated as needed
  • Log Data: Retained for up to 90 days for security and debugging purposes
  • Share Links: Share link metadata (token, access count, timestamps) retained while link is active; deleted when you revoke the link or delete your account. Shared data access ends when the link expires or is revoked.

  • Deletion: Request deletion of your account and associated data
