Privacy Policy for Alarm iota

Last updated: January 17, 2026

Alarm iota ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information when you use our mobile application.

1. Information We Collect

A. Sensor Data (Physical Activity)

To provide the core functionality of the alarm (Step Challenges), the app uses your device's accelerometer.

  • Nature of Data: We process raw motion data to calculate step counts.
  • Storage: This data is processed locally on your device and is not uploaded to any servers.

B. Camera Access

The app requires camera access for the QR Code Challenge.

  • Usage: The camera is used solely to scan and verify QR codes selected by you.
  • Privacy: We do not capture, store, or transmit any images or videos from your camera.

C. Advertising Data

We use Google AdMob to display advertisements. AdMob may collect and use certain data, such as:

  • Device identifiers (e.g., Android Advertising ID or iOS IDFA).
  • General location information (IP-based).
  • Ad interaction data. You can read Google’s Privacy Policy here.

2. Permissions Used

  • Physical Activity / Accelerometer: To track steps for alarm dismissal.
  • Camera: To scan QR codes.
  • Notifications & Alarms: To trigger the alarm at your set time.
  • System Alert Window (Android): To display the alarm screen over other apps.

3. Data Retention

We do not maintain user accounts. All settings (alarms, labels, challenge configurations) are stored locally on your device. Clearing the app data or uninstalling the app will permanently delete this information.

4. Children's Privacy

Our app does not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13.
