Privacy Policy

1. Information we collect

We are built to collect as little as possible. Depending on how you use the App, this may include:

• Alarm and mission settings. Your wake-up times, selected days, chosen missions, and difficulty preferences. These are stored on your device.
• Usage and streak data. Whether a mission was completed and your wake-up streaks, used to power habit tracking.
• Device and diagnostic information. Device type, operating system version, app version, and crash or performance logs that help us fix bugs and improve reliability.
• Subscription status. Whether you hold an active subscription, provided to us through Apple. We never receive your full payment card details.

We do not require you to create an account, and we do not collect your name, contact list, or precise location.

2. Missions, camera & motion data

Some missions need access to your device sensors so the App can confirm you completed them. How each mission handles your data is described below.

Processed entirely on your device

• Math mission. You solve an on-screen problem. No camera or sensor access is used.
• Pushup mission. Uses the camera and/or motion sensors to count repetitions. This analysis happens entirely on your device. No images or motion data are transmitted off your device or stored by us.

Verified using Google's Gemini API

• Sky-detection mission. You point your camera at the sky.
• Bed-check mission. You point your camera at your made bed.

For these two missions, the camera image is sent in real time to Google's Gemini API (Gemini Flash) so it can return a simple yes/no result confirming whether the mission was completed. We do this only at the moment you run the mission. The image is processed transiently to produce that result and is not stored by WakeUpPal, and is not saved to your photo library unless you choose to save it. Google processes the image to return the result and, under Google's paid API terms, does not use it to train its models. Google's handling of data sent to its API is governed by the Google Cloud Privacy Notice.

The App requests camera permission only when a camera-based mission runs. You can decline or revoke camera access at any time in your device settings, though camera-based missions will not function without it.

3. How we use information

• To provide core functionality — sound your alarm and verify mission completion.
• To save your settings and calculate streaks and progress.
• To diagnose crashes, fix bugs, and improve performance.
• To process and manage your subscription.

We do not use your information for advertising, and we do not build advertising profiles about you.

4. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share limited information only with service providers that help us run the App:

• Apple, to process App Store subscriptions and payments.
• Google, which processes sky and bed mission images in real time through the Gemini API to return a completion result, as described above.
• Analytics and crash-reporting providers, to understand aggregate usage and fix issues.

These providers may use your information only to perform services for us. We may also disclose information where required by law or to protect the rights and safety of our users and the public.

5. Subscriptions & payments

WakeUpPal offers an auto-renewing subscription at $1.99 per month or $12.99 per year, which may include a 3-day free trial for new subscribers. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple ID settings. We do not receive or store your full payment details, which are handled entirely by Apple.

6. Data retention

Alarm and mission settings remain on your device for as long as the App is installed and are removed when you delete the App. Mission images for the sky and bed missions are not retained after the verification result is returned. Diagnostic and aggregate usage data is kept only as long as needed for the purposes described above. You may request deletion of any data associated with you by contacting us.

7. Your rights & choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export your personal information, or to object to certain processing. You can also:

• Manage camera and notification permissions in your device settings.
• Cancel your subscription through your Apple ID.
• Delete the App to remove locally stored settings.
• Contact us to request access to or deletion of your data.

8. Children's privacy

WakeUpPal is rated 4+ and may be used by children with the consent and supervision of a parent or guardian. We do not require an account, we collect only the minimal information described in this policy, and we never use information to build advertising profiles or to serve advertising to children. The sky and bed missions send a camera image to Google's Gemini API solely to verify the mission, and the image is not stored by us. If you are a parent or guardian and have questions about your child's use of the App, or wish to have any information deleted, please contact us at wakuppal.alarm@gmail.com.

9. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, and data sent to the Gemini API is transmitted over encrypted connections. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. International users

WakeUpPal may be used worldwide. Information processed through our service providers, including Google and Apple, may be processed in countries other than your own, which may have different data-protection laws. By using the App, you consent to such processing.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice within the App. Your continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
