Privacy Policy
Last updated November 9, 2026
SleepFade is made by Edelkees LLC (“we”). This page explains, in plain language, what information SleepFade and this website handle and why. We collect as little as we can.
What SleepFade collects
- Nothing about what you watch or listen to. SleepFade reads Now Playing information on your Mac only to time the fade, and it never leaves your Mac.
- When you activate a license, your license key and your Mac's name (so you can tell your Macs apart) are sent to Polar to check the key.
- Once a day, SleepFade checks for updates. That request includes the app version, like any download.
- Settings such as your sleep hours are stored on your Mac only.
Services we rely on
These companies process information on our behalf, only for the purposes listed:
- Polar: Checkout, receipts, tax and license keys.
- Cloudflare: Hosts this website, update downloads and support messages.
Support messages
If you use the support assistant or email us, we receive what you write and the email address you give us. Assistant questions are sent to Cloudflare Workers AI to generate an answer. We keep support conversations so we can help you and improve our help articles, and delete them on request.
This website
This site doesn’t use advertising or tracking cookies. Our host, Cloudflare, keeps standard server logs (such as IP address and pages requested) for security and reliability.
Your choices
You can ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or ask any privacy question at support@edelkees.com. We’ll reply within 30 days.
Children
SleepFade isn’t directed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect their information.
Changes
If this policy changes, we’ll update the date above. For significant changes, we’ll note it in the release notes.
