WakeMate

🔒 Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 6, 2026

Your privacy is fundamental to how WakeMate is built. This policy describes how WakeMate handles your data.

1. Data Collection and Usage

• No Personal Information: We do not ask for, collect, or store your name, email address, phone number, or location.
• No Analytics or Tracking: WakeMate contains zero third-party tracking SDKs, advertising frameworks, or data brokers.
• Local Storage (UserDefaults): Your configured alarms, mission settings, snooze preferences, and audio choices are stored strictly in local device memory and never leave your phone.

2. Device Permissions Used

• Notifications: Used solely to alert you when your scheduled alarm time arrives and deliver reminder bursts if the app is in the background.
• Motion & Accelerometer (CoreMotion): Used locally in real-time to detect physical shakes and count steps during active wake-up missions. Motion data is processed on-device and is never logged or transmitted.
• Background Audio: Used to play alarm sounds reliably when the alarm triggers.

3. Third-Party Services

WakeMate does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising networks, or external cloud storage providers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why do I need to allow notification permissions?
A: iOS requires notification permissions to schedule and ring alarms when your iPhone is locked or when the app is in the background.

Q: How do I turn off an alarm?
A: Tap "START MISSION" on the ringing alarm screen, complete the wake-up challenge (e.g., solve math problems or shake the phone), and the alarm will turn off automatically.

Q: What is Anti-Cheat & Strict Mode?
A: Strict mode ensures you cannot simply reboot your phone to bypass an alarm. If a scheduled alarm time was interrupted by a power-off, a penalty challenge is presented immediately upon wake-up. This is optional and defaults to OFF.
