2. Data We Collect
Account Data (Stored)
- Apple ID, email, name (if shared during Sign in with Apple)
- Privacy consent date, account deletion timestamp (if applicable)
- Usage counters for service limits
Alarm Settings (Stored)
- Times, labels, preferences, your name, daily goals, morning routine actions
Cancellation Feedback (Stored)
- If you cancel your subscription and choose to share feedback, we store your selected reasons and optional free-text comments
- Raw feedback is kept for 180 days, then anonymized (user link and free text removed; only structured reasons and timestamps are retained for product analysis)
Retention Offer State (Stored)
- Whether you declined or redeemed a retention offer, and the offer identifier
- This is kept permanently to honor your opt-out choice and enforce one-time redemption
Session Data (Processed in Real-Time)
During alarm sessions, the following is sent to our server and to OpenAI to generate the wake-up conversation:
- Text transcripts of your speech (converted on-device by Apple before transmission)
- Your alarm configuration: name, wake time, daily goal/affirmation, morning routine action, voice and personality preference, language preference, temperature-unit preference
- Weather data (temperature, conditions) — if you enabled weather context
- Calendar events (title, time, location) — if you enabled calendar context
Our server does not persist this data after the session ends. OpenAI retains API requests for up to 30 days for abuse monitoring (see Section 4).
Data That Never Leaves Your Device
- Voice recordings — converted to text on-device by Apple
