Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 26, 2026

Overview

AlarmUniversal ("the App") is an open-source, cross-platform alarm clock application. Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains what data the App collects, how it's used, and your rights.

Data We Collect

Data stored locally on your device

  • Alarm settings — time, label, repeat days, timezone, ringtone, challenge type, snooze duration
  • Sleep logs — bedtime, wake time, snooze count, dismiss method
  • Morning routines — routine names, steps, completion history
  • Preferences — 24-hour format, default snooze, target sleep hours, vibration settings
  • Nap logs — nap start time, end time, duration, nap type, ambient sound used
  • Chronotype quiz results — your answers and chronotype assessment

All of this data is stored locally on your device using an on-device database (Room). The app itself does not transmit or sync this data to any external server.

Website waitlist signups (optional)

  • Email address — used only to send prelaunch and launch updates for AlarmUniversal
  • Primary platform — Android, iPhone, or Desktop preference for launch notifications
  • Consent record — confirmation that you opted in to receive these emails

Waitlist submissions are stored in Firebase for launch communication. You can unsubscribe from emails at any time.

Data collected by third parties

  • Google AdMob (Android and iOS) — May collect device identifiers and usage data for ad personalization. See Google's Privacy Policy.
  • Crash diagnostics — Basic crash reports may be sent to help us identify and fix stability issues. These reports do not include your alarm data or personal information.
