Privacy Policy

Wakely is an alarm app that helps users set alarms and complete short tasks before dismissing them. We care about your privacy and design Wakely to work with as little data as possible.

Quick Summary

• Wakely does not currently create user accounts.
• Wakely does not show ads, collect advertising identifiers, or use third-party tracking technologies.
• Your alarm settings and app preferences are stored on your device. Your alarm names and the sentence you set for the typing task never leave your device.
• Wakely uses privacy-focused usage analytics (TelemetryDeck) to improve the app. This data is pseudonymized and is not used for advertising.
• Face ID images or biometric data are not collected or stored by Wakely.
• Purchases and subscriptions are handled by the Apple App Store. Wakely uses RevenueCat to verify purchases and provide access to Pro features.

Information We Collect or Process

Wakely’s core features run on your device. Your alarm settings may include alarm times, alarm names, repeat days, selected alarm sound, selected tasks, task difficulty, wake-up check preference, volume preference, and the sentence you set for the typing task. Wakely also keeps a history of your completed wake-ups to show your statistics in the app.

This information is stored locally on your device. Wakely does not have its own servers. Your alarm names, the sentence you set for the typing task, and what you type during the task are never sent anywhere. Wakely shares limited usage and purchase information with the two services described below.

Usage analytics. To understand how Wakely is used, find problems, and improve the app, Wakely sends pseudonymized usage events to TelemetryDeck. These include actions in the app and when they happened (such as going through onboarding, creating or editing an alarm, an alarm ringing, completing a task, and viewing or making a purchase), some of your choices (such as onboarding answers, selected tasks, difficulty, alarm sound, repeat days, and whether you granted permissions), and device and app information (such as device model, iOS version, app version, language, region, time zone, and accessibility settings). Events are tied to a hashed identifier for your installation of Wakely, not to your name, email address, or Apple Account. TelemetryDeck does not store IP addresses.

Purchase information. Wakely uses RevenueCat to check whether you have Pro, manage purchases, and restore them. Wakely contacts RevenueCat when the app opens and when you view, make, or restore a purchase, even if you have never bought anything. RevenueCat receives a random user ID it creates for your installation of Wakely, your App Store purchase and subscription history for Wakely (such as products, dates, price, free trial status, and Apple transaction IDs), Apple’s record of your download of Wakely, device and app information (including the device identifier iOS provides to Wakely), and the country it estimates from your IP address (it does not keep the IP address). We use this to provide and restore Pro features, remind you before a free trial ends, prevent fraud, and understand how subscriptions perform.

Apple Ads attribution. Once after installation, Wakely asks Apple, through RevenueCat, whether the download came from one of our ads on the App Store and, if so, which campaign, keyword, and ad. The result is stored with your RevenueCat record and is used only to measure which of our own ads lead to downloads, trials, and subscriptions. According to Apple, this information does not identify you or your device and is not tracking under Apple’s App Tracking Transparency rules, so Wakely does not ask for tracking permission. Wakely does not access your advertising identifier (IDFA).

Information We Do Not Collect

Wakely does not currently collect user accounts, names, email addresses (unless you email us), precise location data, contact lists, photo library data, camera or microphone recordings, Health data, advertising identifiers, or data used to track you across other companies’ apps and websites.

Wakely does not use your alarm routine to create advertising profiles, track you across services, or share it with third parties for marketing purposes. Wakely does not sell your data.

Notifications and Alarm Permissions

Wakely may request notification, alarm, and live activity permissions so that alarm and wake-up check features can work. These permissions are used to ring alarms on time, manage the alarm task flow, continue the alarm flow when needed, and send a wake-up check reminder when enabled.

You can manage these permissions in your device settings. Disabling certain permissions may affect the Wakely alarm experience.

Wakely may also remind you before a free trial ends and, in the evening, when no alarm is set for the next morning. You can turn off the evening reminder in the app’s settings. These notifications are created on your device, and their contents are not sent anywhere.

Face ID

The Face ID task works through your device’s built-in authentication system. Wakely does not collect, store, or send your face image, biometric data, depth data, or camera recordings to a server. The authentication result is used only to determine whether the task has been completed. Usage analytics may record that a Face ID task was completed, but never any Face ID data.

Face ID permission and biometric authentication settings are managed by your device’s system settings.

Motion Data

Tasks such as Shake and Maze may use device motion sensors. This data is processed on your device during the task. Wakely does not store motion data, use it for profiling, or send it to a server.

Purchases and Subscriptions

Wakely Pro purchases and subscriptions are completed through the Apple App Store. Payment, billing, cancellation, and refund processes are managed by Apple. Wakely does not see, collect, or store your payment card information.

Apple-provided purchase information is processed through RevenueCat to verify purchase status, restore purchases, and provide access to Pro features.

Support Contact

If you email us, your email address and message content may be processed so we can respond to your request, understand the issue, and provide support. This information is not used for purposes other than support.

Support correspondence may be processed by email infrastructure providers. You may contact us to request deletion of relevant support correspondence.

Third-Party Services

Wakely includes software from TelemetryDeck and RevenueCat that collects the information described above while you use the app. We share data only with the services below and only for the purposes in this policy. They process it on our behalf and must protect it at the same or an equal level as described in this policy.

• TelemetryDeck (TelemetryDeck GmbH, Germany): privacy-focused usage analytics. The data is not used for advertising or to track you across apps. Privacy policy: https://telemetrydeck.com/privacy
• RevenueCat (RevenueCat, Inc., United States): purchase and subscription management, including the Apple Ads attribution described above. Privacy policy: https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy
• Apple: App Store purchases and refunds, the system alarm, notification, and Face ID features, and Apple Ads attribution. Apple’s Privacy Policy: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/

These services may process your data in the European Union and the United States. Wakely does not use third-party advertising networks, crash reporting services, or cross-app tracking.

If we add other advertising, analytics, or crash reporting services, or change how the services above are used, this policy will be updated and appropriate notice will be provided.

Children’s Privacy

Wakely is not designed for children and does not knowingly collect personal data from children.

Data Retention and Deletion

Alarm and app preferences are stored on your device. If you delete the app, this local data may be removed from your device. App Store purchase records are managed by Apple. If you contacted us by email, you may ask us to delete the relevant support correspondence.

Usage analytics are kept by TelemetryDeck, which currently expects to delete them after 7 to 10 years. Because they are tied only to a hashed identifier, we cannot find or delete the analytics data of a specific person.

Purchase records, including any Apple Ads attribution result, are kept by RevenueCat for as long as Wakely offers Pro purchases, so that purchases can be restored, and afterwards only as long as needed for accounting and legal obligations. Deleting the app does not delete these records. If you ask us, we will delete your RevenueCat record within 30 days. Because Wakely has no user accounts, we may ask for something that helps us find it, such as the order ID from your Apple purchase receipt.

Security

Wakely aims to reduce privacy risks by processing as little data as possible. Information sent to TelemetryDeck and RevenueCat is transmitted over encrypted (HTTPS) connections. However, no digital system can be guaranteed to be completely risk-free.

Changes

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. The current version will always be posted on this page. For significant changes, we may provide notice through appropriate means.

Contact

Wakely is developed by Onur Kuşaksızoğlu, who is responsible for the personal data described in this policy.

You can ask for access to your data, its correction or deletion, or object to its use (including usage analytics) at any time by emailing support@wakelyapp.com. Because Wakely has no user accounts and most of this data is pseudonymized, we may not always be able to find data that relates to you. Deleting Wakely stops all data collection from your device.
