4.3. Upon account deletion, all personal data will be irreversibly deleted in accordance with Art. 17 of the GDPR (Regulation (EU) 2016/679).

5. License to Use

The Provider grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use the Application on one mobile device for personal, non-commercial purposes. Decompiling, reverse engineering, distributing, or commercializing the Application without the Provider’s express written consent is prohibited.

6.4. Subscriptions may be cancelled at any time. Upon cancellation, Premium features remain active until the end of the paid period.

  • Alarms / Exact Alarms – to ring the alarm at the precise time;
  • Notifications – for reminders and alarms;
  • Accelerometer – for tracking movement during sleep;

Each permission is granted voluntarily. Denying a permission may limit certain features but does not block use of the Application.

8. Availability

The Application depends on your device hardware, operating system, and Android alarm scheduling APIs. We make no guarantee that alarms will fire under all conditions (e.g. battery optimisation, manufacturer-specific restrictions, or OS updates may affect alarm delivery).

If you choose to enable Smart Home integration, the Application will send event data (alarm fired, sleep started/ended) to third-party platforms explicitly selected and configured by you (e.g. Home Assistant, custom webhooks). The Provider has no control over those platforms’ data practices. No smart home data is sent without your explicit configuration.
