Privacy Policy

Wakeprint analyzes how you react to your alarms on your iPhone without requiring an account. Your notes, recordings and full wake history are stored on your device. Starting with Wakeprint 1.0.4, you can also back them up to your own private iCloud database, which Wakeprint's developer cannot access (see iCloud backup). Limited usage and alarm-reaction metrics and technical error reports are sent to PostHog as described below.

Information processed by Wakeprint

The app stores information you create or generate on your device, including:

• Alarm times, labels, schedules, snooze settings, selected sounds, Morning Notes, Voice Notes, First Steps, and optional wake phrases you approve.
• How you react to alarms, such as reaction time, snooze count, and whether another alarm was needed.
• Sound performance scores, wake-up insights, and reminder settings.
• Subscription entitlement status supplied by Apple.

Location

If you allow location access, Wakeprint uses your approximate location on your iPhone only to work out the local sunrise, when you turn on the Daylight reminder or open Reminders in Settings. Starting with Wakeprint 1.0.4, it also does this at most once a day while the Daylight reminder is on, so the reminder follows the sunrise. The coordinates are not stored, sent to a Wakeprint server, used for advertising, or shared with third parties. Location access is optional and is not required for alarms.

Microphone and speech recognition

A text Morning Note can be dictated instead of typed. Dictation uses Apple's on-device speech recognizer; if your language does not support on-device recognition, dictation is declined rather than falling back to a server. Pro users may also choose an optional wake phrase and repeat or type it before cancelling Wake Rescue. Recognition audio and transcripts are not retained. The saved phrase stays in Wakeprint's private local storage. Pro users may separately choose Voice Note, record up to 30 seconds, or import an audio file. That recording is retained locally so it can play after the alarm. It is not uploaded to Wakeprint or sent for transcription. Starting with Wakeprint 1.0.4, it is also part of your iCloud backup while Back up to iCloud is on (see iCloud backup).

Morning Notes and First Steps

If you ask Wakeprint to turn a text note into a First Step, it uses Apple’s on-device language model to draft one first step. The control appears only when that model is available. The note and draft are processed on your device and are not sent to a Wakeprint server. You review the draft before it is saved. If drafting fails, your original note remains unchanged. When you stop the alarm, Wakeprint can play the approved synthesized text or the Voice Note selected for that alarm while remaining in the background.

Wake check-in notifications

If you allow notifications, Wakeprint schedules a local check-in on your iPhone after an alarm is stopped. It normally arrives after five minutes. While an alarm’s Wake Rescue countdown is running, that alarm’s check-in is not sent; it comes about five minutes after Wake Rescue ends. Answering it does not cancel Wake Rescue; “I’m up” does. Tapping it opens the unanswered wake check-in. No server or push-notification provider is involved. Dismissing the question without answering leaves the result unknown and does not affect Wakeprint’s learning.

Apple services

Wakeprint uses Apple frameworks including AlarmKit, StoreKit, notifications and on-device Foundation Models where available, and, starting with Wakeprint 1.0.4, CloudKit for the optional iCloud backup. Subscription purchases and payment information are processed by Apple under Apple’s privacy terms. Wakeprint does not receive your full payment card details.

iCloud backup

Starting with Wakeprint 1.0.4, you can turn on Back up to iCloud. While it is on, Wakeprint keeps a copy of your alarms, wake history, settings, Voice Notes and imported sounds in your private iCloud database. Apple stores this copy in your iCloud account, and it counts toward your iCloud storage. It is not sent to a Wakeprint server, and the developer cannot access it. Apple's iCloud terms and data protection apply; with Advanced Data Protection on, the backup's contents are end-to-end encrypted. Wakeprint keeps up to seven daily copies per iPhone. You can turn the backup off or delete it in Settings › Data & privacy (see Your choices). Deleting the app or deleting local data does not delete the iCloud backup unless you choose to.

The backup never includes the usage analytics identifier, pending usage events, or your analytics choice. Restoring a backup brings back your alarms switched off; they ring on an iPhone only after you turn them on there. Permissions and your subscription are not part of the backup: you allow permissions again on a new iPhone, and Apple restores Wakeprint Pro with your Apple Account.

Data sharing and tracking

Wakeprint uses PostHog Cloud in the EU for usage analytics and error reporting. Usage analytics is on by default. You can turn it off in Settings at any time and, starting with Wakeprint 1.0.4, also while you set up the app (see Your choices). It includes screen and feature usage, purchase flow results, limited alarm reaction and sound-selection metrics, and selected operation durations such as app startup, alarm scheduling, and sound selection, associated with a random app installation identifier. Each usage event also carries the app version and build, the iOS version, and whether the app was installed from the App Store or TestFlight. Starting with Wakeprint 1.0.4, purchase flow results also include whether a free trial was offered and for how long and, for a purchase or renewal that Apple verifies, the offer type, whether it is a free trial or paid, whether it is a renewal, and which visit to the Wakeprint Pro screen led to the purchase. To make that link, Wakeprint keeps the purchase attempt on your device for up to seven days. Notes, recordings, alarm names, imported file names, receipts, transaction identifiers and location coordinates are not included. This is not advertising tracking across apps or websites.

Starting with Wakeprint 1.0.4, usage analytics also include: the language the app is shown in; the prices and currency the Wakeprint Pro screen shows, and the price and currency of a purchase you start or that Apple verifies, never your country or App Store storefront; app opens, as a cold or warm start and the kind of entry (the app icon, a notification, a widget, a Home Screen quick action, Siri, a Live Activity or a link), and the first open after installation; once a day, a coarse summary of the app's state: whether alarm and notification permissions are allowed, how many alarms are on, how many of them use Wake Rescue, “Repeat until you tap I’m up” or a Voice Note, and the size of the largest group of alarms set close together on one day (in ranges), whether Pro is active, which kinds of widgets are added, the appearance setting, whether the Wake-up Analyst is available and whether the iCloud backup is on; changes to settings, as the setting and the option chosen, never reminder times or a location; when you save an alarm, a summary of its settings such as the repeat pattern, the kind of note and the Wake Rescue delay, never the alarm's time or label; when a morning’s Wake Rescue ends, how it ended, how many times it rang and roughly how long after your alarm rang you ended it (in ranges, never a time); when a written Morning Note plays after you stop an alarm, whether it was read in the app's language or in another language, never the note itself or its language; when you export or delete your data, and whether the iCloud backup was deleted too; and the iCloud backup's status: whether iCloud is available, when you turn the backup on or off, whether a backup or restore succeeded and why not, the backup's size and age in broad ranges, and how many alarms were turned back on after a restore, never your iCloud account, device name, dates or the backup's contents. Each of these takes only fixed values.

Disabling usage analytics clears pending usage events and stops new collection. Re-enabling creates a new identifier. It does not recall data already received by PostHog. Pending usage events are limited to 1,000 events and seven days on the device. Starting with Wakeprint 1.0.4, turning usage analytics off is also kept in your iPhone backup, so it stays off when you restore your iPhone from that backup; only the choice is kept, never the identifier.

Error and native crash reports are sent separately, including when usage analytics is disabled. They include sanitized technical error information, stack addresses, app/build and OS versions, with a separate identifier per report, not an installation or analytics identifier. Network connections necessarily expose an IP address to the service provider; location enrichment is disabled. There is no session replay, advertising identifier collection, or Wakeprint account.

PostHog stores the telemetry it receives under the project retention settings. On Wakeprint’s current PostHog plan, usage analytics are kept for up to one year. For data handling or deletion requests, email the address under Contact. Because diagnostics have no persistent user identifier, a particular person's reports may not be identifiable. See PostHog's privacy policy.

Feedback you choose to send

Starting with Wakeprint 1.0.4, Settings › Feedback & ideas lets you send a bug report, idea or other message without a mail app or account. Only tapping “Send feedback” transmits your message, feedback type, optional reply email, app/build version, iOS version, device family and app language to PostHog Cloud in the EU. No wake-up history, Morning Notes, Voice Notes, recordings or other attachments are automatically included. Please do not include sensitive information in your message.

This explicit support submission works independently of the usage analytics setting. It has a random identifier per submission, is not joined to your usage installation identifier and does not create a person profile. Your email, if supplied, is used for support replies, not marketing. Unsent text stays in memory while the form is open and is not automatically saved or uploaded. A failed submission can be retried; success means the service accepted it, not that it has been read. Submitted feedback is retained under the PostHog project settings, for up to one year on Wakeprint’s current PostHog plan. For deletion requests, email the address under Contact with the reference shown after sending, or from the email you supplied. Deleting local app data does not delete submitted feedback.

Retention and deletion

Local Wakeprint data, including saved Voice Note audio, remains on your device for as long as the app keeps it. Removing a Voice Note or alarm removes its retained audio after the alarm update succeeds. Deleting Wakeprint removes its locally stored app data, but does not delete your iCloud backup or telemetry already received by PostHog. iCloud backup copies are kept as described under iCloud backup until you delete them. Subscription records maintained by Apple are governed by Apple’s retention practices and can be managed from your Apple Account subscription settings.

Your choices

Wakeprint needs no account. Each choice below is made in the app or in iOS Settings. The Settings paths here are those of Wakeprint 1.0.4 and later; earlier versions use older names for some of them.

Usage analytics

• Starting with Wakeprint 1.0.4, the privacy step you see while you set up Wakeprint has a Share usage analytics switch. It is on by default. Turn it off there, and no usage analytics are sent from then on.
• You can turn it off or on at any time in Settings › Data & privacy › Share usage analytics.
• Turning it off clears the usage events still waiting on your iPhone and stops new collection. It does not recall data PostHog has already received; for that, email the address under Contact. Turning it back on starts with a new identifier.
• Technical error and crash reports are separate and stay on. They carry no installation or analytics identifier.
• Starting with Wakeprint 1.0.4, your choice stays in effect when you restore your iPhone from an iPhone backup. Wakeprint’s iCloud backup doesn’t include it.

Your data on this iPhone

• To export it, go to Settings › Data & privacy and choose Export CSV or Export JSON. The JSON export includes personal text such as wake phrases, and saved Voice Note audio encoded inside the file, so treat an exported file as private.
• To delete it, go to Settings › Data & privacy › Delete all local data. This cancels scheduled alarms and reminders, removes imported sounds and Voice Notes, deletes your wake history, which also resets what Wakeprint has learned, and discards any export file written earlier. If you use the iCloud backup (Wakeprint 1.0.4 and later), it is kept unless you also turn on Also delete the iCloud backup.
• Deleting the app also removes its locally stored data, but not your iCloud backup.

iCloud backup (Wakeprint 1.0.4 and later)

• To turn it off, switch off Back up to iCloud in Settings › Data & privacy. Choose Stop backing up to keep your last backup in iCloud, or Stop and delete iCloud backup to remove it as well.
• To delete it, go to Settings › Data & privacy › Manage backups › Delete iCloud backup. This deletes this iPhone’s copies in iCloud; everything on this iPhone stays. Backups from your other iPhones are listed there under Other backups, and Delete from iCloud removes one.

Permissions and subscription

• You can deny or revoke location access without losing the core alarm features.
• You can turn reminders off in the app, and notification access in iOS Settings.
• You can manage or cancel a subscription in your Apple Account settings.

Children’s privacy

Wakeprint is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children, and it does not operate an account or advertising system.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated when Wakeprint’s features or data practices change. The effective date above will be revised when an update is published.
