Summary
Hard Wake is an alarm app designed to make wake-up dismissal more intentional using user-scheduled alarms, wake-up challenges, wake routine tasks, task check-ins, optional cloud backup, and optional accountability features. This policy explains what data is stored on your device, what data may be sent to service providers, and how account deletion works.
Hard Wake does not sell personal information. Hard Wake does not request location, contacts, microphone, SMS, phone-call, camera, or photo-library permissions in the current app code.
Data Hard Wake stores locally
Hard Wake stores core alarm data on your device using local app storage. This includes alarm times, labels, repeat days, mission choices, Awake Check settings, wake routine tasks, custom task names, task completion or follow-up dates, onboarding status, active alarm state, wake-up history, cached premium status, and app preferences.
Motion samples from Shake, Soldier Walk, and Jump missions are processed locally for mission progress. They are not stored as raw motion recordings in a Hard Wake cloud database.
Data collected or processed by service providers
Some data is transmitted off your device when you use account, purchase, analytics, crash reporting, or subscription features. The table below summarizes the main data types reflected by the current app code.

Analytics and crash reporting
Firebase Analytics is optional in Settings. When enabled, Hard Wake logs product events such as onboarding, permission checks, alarm actions, mission completion, paywall views, purchases, and restores.
Analytics events are designed to avoid raw personal content. Hard Wake does not intentionally send alarm labels, passwords, exact location, photos, or user-entered sensitive text in analytics events.
Firebase Crashlytics may receive crash logs, stack traces, app version, operating system information, device state, and non-fatal error reports to help diagnose reliability issues.
Permissions and device features
Hard Wake requests notification, exact alarm, full-screen alert, vibration, wake lock, foreground service (including media-playback type for alarm audio), audio settings, lock-screen display (DISABLE_KEYGUARD), reboot completion, and battery optimization access where supported so user-scheduled alarms can appear clearly and close to the time you set.
Hard Wake alarm notifications are local notifications created on the device. Companion, Rescue Mode, cloud backup, account, purchase, support-form, analytics, and crash-reporting features may transmit limited account or event data when those features are used.
Hard Wake does not collect location data. Hard Wake does not use camera/photo challenge functionality in the current app. If photo-based challenges are added later, this policy should be updated before release.
Children's privacy
Hard Wake is not designed for children and is not intended to target users under 13. If you believe a child has provided account information to Hard Wake, contact support so the issue can be reviewed.
Retention and deletion
Local alarm data stays on your device until you delete alarms, reset local app data, uninstall the app, clear app storage, or delete your account from the Account screen.
Deleting your Hard Wake account removes the Firebase account, deletes account-linked cloud backup where available, and clears local Hard Wake alarms, routine tasks, custom task names, settings, active alarm state, and cached premium status from that device. Visit Account & Data Deletion for step-by-step instructions.
Some purchase, fraud-prevention, tax, security, abuse-prevention, analytics, crash, or compliance records may remain with Apple, Google, RevenueCat, Firebase, or other service providers according to their own policies and legal requirements. Aggregated or deidentified analytics and diagnostics may also remain after account deletion.
Security
Hard Wake relies on platform security, Firebase Authentication, app store billing systems, encrypted network transport used by its service providers, and local device storage. No app or network service can promise perfect security.
Use a secure device passcode, keep your operating system updated, and do not share passwords or payment information with support.
International users
Hard Wake and its service providers may process information in the United States and other countries where Firebase, Google, Apple, RevenueCat, or related service providers operate.
Policy updates
Hard Wake may update this Privacy Policy when app features, service providers, legal requirements, or store requirements change. The "Last updated" date shows when this page was last revised.
