When you use the App, you can choose to enter your child’s date of birth (YYYY-MM-DD) and your child’s name or nickname. You also have the option to enter information about your child’s sleep routines and to upload a picture of your child. This information will also constitute personal data that we will process.

If you wish to share your account on the App with a babysitter, for example, you can easily do this. To do this, enter the name of the person you wish to share the account with and their role, such as a babysitter. This information will also constitute personal data that we will process.

When you use the App, BabyNaps collects statistics about how you use the App in your capacity as a user, known as user data. Your user data is anonymized, which means that neither BabyNaps, nor any other party, can trace back such user data to you as an individual.
