Privacy policy
Last updated: October 1, 2026
The short version: the Alawako website has no accounts, no cookies and no trackers. The Alawako iPhone app works without an account and keeps your alarms, recordings and photos on your device. We don’t show ads and never sell your data.
This policy covers the website at alawako.app (the “Site”) and the Alawako app for iOS (the “App”), operated by HumanAI. Questions: [email protected].
1. The website
- Your alarm time, chosen sound, 12/24-hour setting, day/night mode and language are stored only in your browser’s local storage, so they survive a refresh. They never leave your device.
- If you allow notifications, the browser shows one when your alarm rings. We don’t send push messages and store no notification tokens.
- Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts. Our host, Vercel, keeps standard server logs (IP address, browser, time) for security and reliability.
2. The iPhone app — data kept on your device
Alarms, schedules, wake-up history and streaks, voice recordings, reference photos and QR codes for missions, and your first name for the morning briefing are stored on your iPhone or iPad and are not uploaded to us. Deleting the App deletes them.
3. App permissions
| Permission | Used for |
|---|---|
| Alarms / Notifications | Ringing on the Lock Screen, in Silent mode and Focus. |
| Camera | Photo and QR wake-up missions, processed on the device. |
| Microphone | Recording your own voice as an alarm sound. |
| Motion | Shake and Steps missions. |
| Calendar (optional) | Reading today’s events aloud; read on the device, never uploaded. |
| Photos (optional) | Saving your QR code or streak card. |
4. Service providers (App)
- Apple (App Store / StoreKit) processes purchases. We only learn whether you have Pro.
- Google Firebase Analytics & Remote Config: anonymous usage events, device model, OS and app version, language and country, linked to a random app-instance ID, used to fix bugs and improve features. See Firebase privacy.
We don’t use the advertising identifier (IDFA) and don’t track you across other companies’ apps or websites.
5. Retention, rights, children
Analytics data is kept up to 14 months. Depending on where you live (e.g. GDPR, CCPA) you may ask to access or delete data: email [email protected], we reply within 30 days. Alawako isn’t directed at children under 13.
6. Changes
We’ll update the date above when this policy changes, and tell you in the App about important changes.
