Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what information Drift (“Drift,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects when you use the Drift mobile app, visit driftnightly.com, or join our waitlist (together, the “Service”), and what we do with it. Drift is a sleep-and-relaxation wellness product. It is not a healthcare provider and does not provide medical advice. See our Medical Disclaimer.

1. Who we are

Drift is a product of Resolvent Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”), which operates the Service. For privacy questions or requests, email support@resolventtech.com.

2. Information we collect

In the Drift app

• No account information. The app has no sign-up or sign-in. It never asks for your name, email address, or phone number, and it has no set-up questionnaire.
• Purchase and subscription information. Subscriptions are sold through the Apple App Store and Google Play, and we use RevenueCat to check whether you have an active subscription. The app connects to RevenueCat when it starts and when you view plans, subscribe, or restore purchases. RevenueCat creates a random, anonymous ID for your installation of the app and receives your purchase and subscription records from Apple or Google, such as which plan you bought, when, and whether it is in a free trial, active, or cancelled. The RevenueCat software also sends basic technical details with each request, such as your device model, operating-system version, app version, store country, and preferred language. On iPhone this includes the identifier Apple assigns to apps from the same developer on your device (the “identifier for vendor”). It does not use your device’s advertising identifier, and the app never sends RevenueCat your name or email address.
• Payment information. Apple or Google processes your payment. Neither we nor RevenueCat receive your card number or other payment details.
• Story downloads. The app downloads the list of stories and the story audio from our content server, which runs on Cloudflare. These requests contain no account and no ID for you or your device. Like any web server, the content server sees your IP address, which file was requested, and standard technical request details.

Stored only on your phone

The app keeps the following on your device and does not send it to us or anyone else:

• Your listening history: which stories you played and when, your nightly streak, last night’s story, and how many free plays you have used.
• Your settings: playback pace, sleep timer, the 3am screen and headphone options, and when you acknowledged the medical disclaimer.
• Downloaded story audio and the story list.
• A diagnostics log of playback events (see below).

The “Tonight” story pick is worked out on your phone from this history. Deleting the app deletes all of it. Your phone’s own backups (for example, iCloud or Google backup) may include it, under Apple’s or Google’s terms.

Diagnostics you choose to share

The app keeps a playback log on your phone to help us fix problems such as audio stopping during the night. It records events like which story played, timer and playback changes, errors, and the names of audio devices that connect or disconnect (for example, the name you gave your headphones). The app never uploads this log. It leaves your phone only if you tap “Share diagnostics” in Settings and choose where to send it, for example by email to us.

On our website and waitlist

• Waitlist. If you join the waitlist on driftnightly.com, we store your email address, which sign-up form you used, and your browser’s user-agent string (a short description of your browser and operating system) in a database hosted by Supabase.
• Website visits. driftnightly.com is hosted by Vercel, and its fonts load from Google Fonts. As with any website, these providers receive your IP address and standard request details when you visit.

When you contact us

If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you include in your message.

We do not collect your location, contacts, photos, microphone audio, or health records, and the app shows no ads.

3. How we use information

• To check whether you have an active subscription, process purchases and restores, and unlock stories.
• To deliver the story list and audio to the app.
• To answer your emails and fix problems you report, including from a diagnostics log you send us.
• To tell people on the waitlist about Drift. You can ask us to remove you at any time.
• To protect the Service against fraud and abuse, and to meet legal, tax, and accounting obligations.

RevenueCat also shows us summary subscription reports, such as how many trials started or renewed. We do not use any of this information for advertising or to build a profile of you.

4. Legal bases for processing (EEA/UK)

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we rely on the following legal bases under the GDPR/UK GDPR:

• Contract: to provide the subscription you buy and deliver the stories.
• Legitimate interests: to keep the Service working and secure and to answer your messages.
• Consent: for the waitlist. You can withdraw consent at any time by emailing us.
• Legal obligation: to keep tax and accounting records.

5. Who we share information with

We share information only with the service providers below, which handle it for us to run the Service. We do not sell personal information.

We may also disclose information if required by law, to enforce our Terms of Service, or in connection with a merger or acquisition.

6. Health & wellness data

7. Data retention

• On your phone: until you delete the app. Removing a downloaded story deletes its audio.
• Purchase records: RevenueCat, Apple, and Google keep them as long as needed to provide your subscription and to meet legal, tax, and accounting requirements.
• Waitlist: until you ask us to remove you, or until we no longer need it.
• Emails and diagnostics logs you send us: as long as we need them to help you.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you.
• Correct inaccurate information.
• Delete your information (“right to be forgotten”).
• Port your data to another service.
• Object to or restrict certain processing.
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To exercise any of these rights, email support@resolventtech.com. Because the app has no accounts and uses an anonymous ID, we can’t find your purchase records from your name or email alone. For a request about purchase records, include details that help us find them, such as the order ID on your Apple or Google receipt, and we will tell you what we found. For waitlist or support data, email us from the address you used. Deleting the app deletes everything it keeps on your phone. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription; cancel it in your Apple or Google account settings.

We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

9. California privacy rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request deletion, to correct it, and to not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. In the past 12 months we have collected the categories described in Section 2: identifiers (the anonymous app ID, the identifier for vendor on iPhone, IP addresses, and waitlist email addresses), commercial information (purchase and subscription records), and internet activity (requests to our content server and website).

We do not “sell” or “share” personal information as those terms are defined under the CCPA/CPRA, and we do not use it for cross-context behavioral advertising. To exercise your California rights, email support@resolventtech.com.

10. International data transfers

We are based in the United States. Our providers may process information in the United States and other countries.

11. Security

The app and the website use encrypted connections (HTTPS) for all their network traffic, and we use reputable infrastructure providers. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. If a security incident affects your information, we will notify you and regulators where the law requires.

12. Cookies & analytics

The Drift app contains no analytics, advertising, or crash-reporting software, and it does not track you across other companies’ apps or websites. Our website does not set cookies and does not use analytics or advertising trackers.

13. Children

The Service is not directed to children under 16 (or under 13 in the United States), and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact support@resolventtech.com and we will delete it.

14. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the new version on this page and change the “Last updated” date above.
