Privacy
Nodding Off is made by Bananify Creative LLC. The short version: there’s no account to create, and we don’t run ads or sell your information.
What stays on your phone
Your place in each story, the times you listened, your sound settings, your player settings and any stories saved for offline listening are kept on your phone. They aren’t sent to us. Deleting the app deletes them.
What reaches our servers
To show the catalog and play stories, the app requests files from our servers, which run on Cloudflare. As with any web request, these requests include your IP address and basic device details. We use them to deliver the files and keep the service running. We don’t use them to identify you or build a profile.
The first time your phone downloads a story, our server adds one to that story’s count, so we can see which stories people start. Each count records only the story, the voice and when it happened. It doesn’t include your IP address or anything about your device, and it can’t be linked back to you.
This website
The noddingoffapp.com website uses Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics, and Cloudflare Web Analytics, to count visits and see which pages people read. This is limited to the website. The app itself doesn’t include Google Analytics. Google may set cookies and receives your IP address and basic browser details when you visit. Cloudflare Web Analytics doesn’t use cookies. You can opt out with a browser extension or by blocking analytics in your browser, and the website works the same without it.
Subscriptions
Google Play handles purchases made in the Android app. To unlock stories, the app sends our servers the subscription product ID and purchase token. Our servers check the subscription with Google Play. We don’t receive your Google account password or payment details.
The app doesn’t offer Blanc Suite sign-in right now. If this phone already has a stored license, the app keeps that license key on your phone and sends it to our servers and to Polar, which handles Blanc Suite payments, to check that your subscription is active. We never see your payment details.
Android beta sign-up
If you sign up to test the Android app on our website, we ask for one thing: an email address. We keep it with Resend, which sends our email, and use it only to invite you to the beta and write to you about it. We don’t add it to other lists. To have your address deleted, email support@noddingoffapp.com.
What we don’t do
- The app doesn’t ask for your name, email address or location. Only the optional beta sign-up on this website asks for an email address.
- We don’t use advertising, and the app doesn’t track you. The only analytics we run are on this website.
- We don’t sell your information.
Children
Nodding Off is meant for adults. It isn’t directed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect their information.
Changes and questions
If this policy changes, we’ll update this page and its date. Questions go to support@noddingoffapp.com.
