We collect no personal data.
Drift does not collect, transmit, or store on any server:
Drift stores the following data in local storage on your phone, accessible only to the Drift app:
| Data type | Purpose | Stored on |
|---|---|---|
| Saved scenes (sound combinations and volumes) | Quick resume of favourite mixes | Your device only |
| Timer preferences (last used duration) | Convenience — remembers your last timer | Your device only |
| Alarm settings | Wake-up alarm time and days | Your device only |
| App settings (theme, volume defaults) | Personalisation | Your device only |
This data is never transmitted. It never leaves your device.
All 20 sound files are bundled with the app at download. Drift does not stream audio from any server. No network requests are made to play sounds.
By default, Drift excludes its stored data from iCloud Backup (iOS) and Android Auto Backup. Your scenes and settings are not included in your device backup unless you manually change this in your phone's settings.
If you manually include Drift in your backup, your encrypted backup may contain Drift data. This backup is between you and Apple or Google — Drift has no access to it.

The only network calls the app may make are to fetch the App Store receipt for purchase validation — a standard Apple/Google process that does not involve your personal data.
Drift is not designed for or marketed to children under 13 (under 16 in the EU/UK). We do not knowingly collect information from children. Since we collect no data from any users, this is moot — but we state it for completeness.
Drift does not process any personal data within the meaning of GDPR or UK GDPR, because no personal data is collected or stored on our systems.
If you are a UK or EU resident and believe we have processed your personal data, please contact us. We are required to respond within 30 days.
We do not sell personal information. We do not share personal information with third parties for cross-contextual behavioural advertising. We collect no personal information. CCPA rights therefore do not apply in a meaningful way — we have no data to provide, correct, or delete on your behalf.
Since your data is stored only on your device, you exercise your rights directly:
We have no server-side copy of your data to act upon.
We may update this policy when the app is updated. The “last updated” date at the top of this page will change. Significant changes will be noted in the app's release notes. Continued use of the app constitutes acceptance.
