Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 11, 2026

The short version: FollowMyCast collects nothing. Your heart-rate and sleep data are read from Apple Health directly on your iPhone, used only to detect when you fall asleep, and never leave your device. The app has no servers, no accounts, no analytics, and no ads.

What the app reads

With your explicit permission, FollowMyCast reads the following from Apple Health (HealthKit), strictly on your device:

Heart rate and resting heart rate — to notice your heart rate settling as you drift off;
Sleep analysis — Apple's own sleep records, used to stop playback and to refine the resume bookmark the next morning.

How that data is used

All processing happens locally on your iPhone. Health data is used for exactly two things: pausing playback when you fall asleep, and placing the resume bookmark a few minutes before that moment. Computed values (such as the time you fell asleep for a given listening session) are stored only in the app's local storage on your device.

What never happens

No health data is transmitted anywhere — the app makes no network requests with your data;
No data is written back to Apple Health;
No analytics, tracking, advertising, or third-party SDKs;
No accounts and no cloud storage. Your audio files stay on your device.

Your control

You can revoke Health access at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Health → FollowMyCast. Deleting the app deletes all of its local data, including listening history and bookmarks.

Not a medical device

FollowMyCast is not a medical device and provides no medical advice. Sleep detection is approximate and exists purely for playback convenience.
