Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how AlarmMe (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you use the AlarmMe mobile application and related services (the “Service”).

1. Who is responsible for your data

Controller: AlarmMe

Contact: alarmme.contact@gmail.com

If you have any questions about this policy or your privacy rights, contact us at the email above.

2. What information we collect

We collect the following categories of information, depending on how you use the Service and which permissions you grant:

A. Information you provide

  • Account information (if you create an account): name, email, login credentials.
  • Support requests: the content you send to us (messages, attachments).

B. Information collected automatically

  • Device and app information: device model, operating system version, app version, language, time zone.
  • Usage information: screens viewed, features used, in-app actions, crash logs, performance diagnostics.

C. Information from optional permissions (only if you grant them)

  • Notifications: if you enable alarms/notifications, we store your preferences and schedules needed to deliver reminders.
  • Display over other apps (“Appear on top” / overlay permission): if you enable this permission, AlarmMe may display alarm/reminder UI elements on top of other apps (for example, a full-screen alarm screen or a small overlay) so you can see and dismiss alarms reliably. We do not read, record, or capture the content of other apps on your screen as a result of this permission.

Note: AlarmMe does not intentionally collect sensitive categories of information (such as health, biometric, or precise financial data) unless you choose to include it in content you submit to us (e.g., a support message).

3. How we use your information

We use information to:

  • Provide and operate the Service (create and manage alarms/reminders, sync settings).
  • Personalize your experience (e.g., preferred settings).
  • Improve reliability and safety (debugging, analytics, fraud prevention, security).
  • Communicate with you (service messages, updates, and responding to support).
  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

4. Legal bases (EEA/UK)

If you are in the European Economic Area or the UK, we process personal data under these legal bases:

  • Contract: to provide the Service you request.
  • Legitimate interests: to secure, maintain, and improve the Service (balanced against your rights).
  • Consent: for optional permissions (e.g., notifications, calendar, contacts, location) where required. You can withdraw consent by changing device/app settings.
  • Legal obligation: where we must comply with law.

5. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information:

  • Service providers (processors): hosting, analytics, crash reporting, customer support tools—only as needed to provide the Service and under contractual safeguards.
  • Legal and safety: if required by law, subpoena, or to protect rights, safety, and security.
  • Business transfers: if we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your information may be transferred, subject to this policy.

6. Data retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described:

  • Account data: until you delete your account (plus a short period for backup, security, and legal compliance).
  • Alarm/reminder settings: while your account is active or until you delete them.
  • Diagnostics logs: typically kept for a limited period to troubleshoot and improve stability.

You may request deletion at any time (see “Your rights”).

7. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to:

  • Access, correct, or delete your personal data.
  • Object to or restrict certain processing.
  • Withdraw consent for optional permissions (via your device settings).
  • Data portability (where applicable).
  • Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

To exercise rights, contact: alarmme.contact@gmail.com

9. Children’s privacy

AlarmMe is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country), and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

10. International transfers

Your information may be processed in countries other than where you live. When we transfer data internationally, we use appropriate safeguards as required by applicable law (such as standard contractual clauses where relevant).

11. Third-party services and links

The Service may include links to third-party sites or integrations. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. We are not responsible for third-party content or practices.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version in the app or on our website with a new effective date. If changes are material, we will provide additional notice where required.
