• Your password, which you provide when you sign up for an account. Your passwod is stored in an irrecoverable format. We use this to authenticate you.
• Your sleep time for each day, which you provide as you use the app. We use this to show you your sleep overview, send you reminder notifications, and determine your donation amount.
• Any information about your charity donations you've told us. We use this to show whether you have any pending donations to make.
• Other account information you give to us, such as your target sleep time. We will only use this to provide you with the app.
• Anonymous device information to allow sending push notifications, which may be collected from your device, browser, or your push notification service provider.
