Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what data the Early Alarm mobile app ("the App") collects, why, and how it's handled. Early Alarm is built to keep as much as possible on your device: alarms, mission history, streaks, and reference photos live in local storage on your phone, not on our servers. Where data does leave your device, it's limited to what's needed to run subscriptions, understand product usage, and catch crashes — described below.

The following never leaves your device unless you explicitly export or share it:

• Your alarms, schedules, mission settings, and sound choices;
• Photo-mission reference images — captured, compared, and matched entirely on-device; we do not upload, view, or store these photos;
• Shake and workout mission sensor readings (accelerometer data), used in real time to detect motion and never retained beyond the mission;
• Your streak history, wake-up heatmap, gradual-wake schedule, and mood check-ins.

This data is stored in a local database and local preferences on your device. Deleting the App, or using Settings → Delete My Data inside the App, removes it.

We (or the service providers described in Section 4, acting on our behalf) receive:

• Onboarding answers — e.g. your preferred wake-up goal — sent as user attributes to our analytics and subscription providers to personalize your experience and measure which onboarding steps work;
• Subscription and purchase data — receipt/entitlement status handled by RevenueCat and the Apple App Store / Google Play Store, so we can unlock paid features and manage trials and renewals. We do not see or store your payment card details — Apple and Google handle billing directly;
• Product analytics events — such as which screens you open, whether a mission was completed on the first attempt, or whether onboarding was finished — used to understand and improve the App. These events are tied to an anonymous or pseudonymous installation identifier, not your name;
• Crash and diagnostic reports — sent automatically if the App crashes, to help us fix bugs. These may include device model, OS version, and a stack trace of the failure.

We share the data described in Section 3 with:

• RevenueCat — subscription and entitlement management, receipt validation, and paywall delivery.
• Apple App Store / Google Play — payment processing and purchase records for your subscription.
• Our analytics provider — aggregated, anonymized product-usage analytics to understand feature adoption and onboarding performance.
• Our crash-reporting provider — automatic crash and error diagnostics.

These providers process data under their own privacy and security terms and are contractually limited to using it to provide their service to us. We do not sell your data, and we do not share it with advertisers.

The App requests the following permissions, each used only for its stated purpose:

• Camera — for the Photo mission only. Images are processed on-device and never transmitted or stored by us;
• Motion & fitness sensors — for the Shake and Workout missions, to detect movement in real time;
• Notifications — to deliver alarms, reminders, and trial-ending notices;
• Exact alarm scheduling (Android 12+) — so alarms fire at the precise time you set.

You can review or revoke any of these permissions in your device's system settings at any time; doing so may prevent the related mission type or notification from working.

On-device data is retained until you delete the App or use Settings → Delete My Data, which clears your local alarm, mission, and progress history immediately. That action also triggers deletion requests to our analytics and subscription providers for the data described in Section 3. Deleting your data does not cancel an active subscription — subscriptions must be canceled through the App Store or Google Play.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. You can exercise most of these directly in the App via Settings → Delete My Data, or by contacting us at support@earlyalarm.app. We will respond to verified requests within the time required by applicable law.

Early Alarm is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country), and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we will delete it.

We rely on industry-standard security practices from our infrastructure and service providers, and on your device's own OS-level protections for locally stored data. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Our service providers may process data in countries other than your own. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) for any such transfer.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, announced inside the App.

Questions about this Privacy Policy or your data can be sent to support@earlyalarm.app.
