Wedo Alarm Privacy Policy

1. Scope

This policy applies to Wedo Alarm (“the App”) and its alarm, weather, and related features.

Data controller/operator: Wedo Alarm Project Team (Individual Developer) (“we”, “us”).

2. What we process & purposes

2.1 Location Necessary

• Categories: precise/approximate location (with your consent).
• Purposes: display city and weather; optional low-frequency background updates for Premium users based on significant location changes.
• Processing:
  • Default: queries are completed via Apple Weather (obtained through WeatherKit) only; we do not send coordinates to other weather providers in normal cases.
  • Automatic fallback: when WeatherKit returns errors/timeouts, hits quota, or is unavailable, we temporarily call QWeather under a data-minimization principle to complete the request; results are cached briefly for performance and the source is labeled in-app.
• Note: Air Quality (AQI) is requested from QWeather only in supported countries/regions; elsewhere we use WAQI.

2.2 Alarms & app settings On-device

• Categories: alarm time, label, ringtone, snooze, preferences.
• Purpose: provide alarm/reminder functionality.
• Processing: stored only on your device (e.g., Core Data / App Group cache); not uploaded to our servers.

2.3 Media access (Apple Music/local media)

• Categories: identifiers of tracks/media used for alarms (e.g., track ID), not audio content.
• Purpose: play as alarm tones.
• Processing: only necessary references are saved; we do not upload your media.

2.4 Notifications

• Categories: system authorization state.
• Purpose: local notifications/alarm firing.
• Processing: no third-party push service in this version; we do not collect device tokens for remote push.

2.5 Purchases & subscriptions

s
• Categories: purchase/subscription records handled by Apple.
• Purpose: verify entitlement to unlock Premium features.
• Processing: we do not access your card data; we only keep necessary subscription status (e.g., expiry, hashed/summary identifiers).

2.6 Diagnostics & usage data (optional) Optional (can be turned off)

• Categories: crash stacks, performance metrics, limited feature usage statistics (for example, how often alarms are opened, snoozed, or dismissed, and common error codes), and desensitized application logs.
• Purpose: to understand stability and aggregated usage patterns, troubleshoot issues, and improve alarm effectiveness and UX. We do not use this data for personalized advertising or cross-app tracking.
• How it is collected: When you first use the App, we show a brief explanation of “Diagnostics & Usage Data”, this option is enabled by default so that a small amount of anonymized or de-identified diagnostics and usage data is sent. You can turn this off at any time in Settings → Diagnostics & Usage Data. Once disabled, we will stop collecting new diagnostics and usage data from that device (except where required by law or when you intentionally submit feedback).
• Linking & tracking: we use a random installation identifier (such as an install ID) to distinguish devices. We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, or similar direct identifiers with these events, and we do not combine this identifier with data from other apps or third parties to track you across apps or websites.
• Retention: diagnostics and usage data are typically retained for no longer than 30 days for analytics and debugging, unless a longer period is required by law.

3. What we do not do

• No cross-app or cross-site tracking.
• No ads; we do not sell your personal data.
• No collection of sensitive data unrelated to functionality (e.g., health, contacts, photos) unless you explicitly consent for that feature.

4. Third-party services, data sources & fallback

Weather and air-quality data come from the following partners:

• Apple Weather (obtained via WeatherKit). We follow the attribution requirements and provide Apple’s Legal / Data Source Attribution page.
• QWeather (Heweather). We show “Powered by QWeather / 天气服务由和风天气提供” and link to qweather.com. For QWeather air-quality/alerts, we display the full refer.sources field in details.
• WAQI (World Air Quality Index Project). We attribute both WAQI and the originating EPA. Per WAQI’s terms, observations may be unvalidated at publication time and subject to subsequent quality-control revisions. See Terms of Service.

With your location permission, we may send your city or coordinates to Apple Weather, QWeather, or WAQI to obtain results. We send only what’s necessary to fulfill the request, never for ads or tracking. Depending on region, availability, and quality, the App automatically chooses/switches sources and labels the source in the UI.

5. Storage, retention & security

• Encrypted in transit: TLS/HTTPS between client and server.
• Minimal retention: diagnostics/logs are deleted after troubleshooting or upon expiry; alarm data remains on your device and can be cleared in-app.
• Access control: only authorized personnel can access necessary diagnostics under least-privilege; all access is audited.

6. Your rights & controls

• Permissions: you can revoke location, media, and notification permissions in iOS Settings; you can also turn off “Diagnostics & Usage Data” in the app at any time to stop this collection on that device.
• Access, rectification & deletion: export or delete local data in-app; to delete server-side diagnostics or subscription records, contact us below.
• Jurisdictions: where applicable (e.g., GDPR/CCPA/PIPL), you may exercise access, deletion, restriction, portability, and withdrawal of consent.

7. Children

The App is not primarily directed to children. If you believe we collected data from a minor without guardian consent, contact us and we will delete it promptly.

8. Changes

For material changes (e.g., categories/purposes, new third parties, or operator change to a company), we will notify in-app and update this page with the latest version and effective date.
