This policy explains what the Wakey app keeps on your iPhone, what leaves it and why, who it is shared with, and how to delete all of it. Three things shape everything below: we never sell, license or share your personal information for anyone else's purposes, there is no advertising and no cross-app tracking, and the app measures how it is used through a short list of events that never include your alarm labels or times, your name or your email — Usage analytics says exactly what that involves.
It covers the Wakey iPhone app and this website (together, the "App"). Wakey is made and run by an independent individual developer, not a company. Who is responsible for your data, and how to reach them, is set out under Contact.
"Personal information" means information relating to an identified or identifiable person, as defined by Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and British Columbia's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK Data Protection Act 2018, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA) and other applicable privacy laws. Which parts of this policy apply to you depends on where you live; the sections on your rights say so explicitly.
Wakey is a convenience, not a safety device. Do not rely on it as your only alarm for anything critical. Whether an alarm rings depends on your iPhone: the alarm permission, the ringer volume, the Focus settings you chose, and the phone being on and charged.
| What | Details |
|---|---|
| Alarms | Label, time, weekdays, sound, missions and their difficulty, retry interval, and when each was created and changed. |
| Wake history | When an alarm fired, when you finished, how many times you pressed Stop, and which missions you completed or swapped. |
| Settings | Whether you finished the welcome screens, a notice about Wakey Pro, and which account last signed in on this phone. |
| A random install identifier | A random code generated once per install. It identifies this install to our server for the camera mission's daily limit; it is not tied to you, your Apple ID or your device's advertising identifier. |
None of this leaves your iPhone while you are signed out, except what the sections on the camera mission, purchases and usage analytics describe.
Wakey works fully without an account. If you choose to sign in:
| What | Details |
|---|---|
| What we receive | From Apple or Google: your email address and whether it is verified; your name, where the provider supplies it (from Google also your first and last name and the link to your Google profile photo, and, for a Google work or school account, that organisation's domain); whether you chose Apple's Hide My Email; which provider you signed in with; and when you last signed in. We keep these in your account record so we can look after accounts, and we use them for nothing else. Sign-in is handled by Apple or Google through Supabase, our authentication and database provider; we never see or store a password. If you use Sign in with Apple and choose Hide My Email, we only ever receive Apple's private relay address. |
| What is stored under the account | Your alarms and your wake history, so they follow you to another iPhone and survive reinstalling the app. |
| Where | On Supabase, hosted in the United States (Oregon). |
| Signing out | Leaves your data in the account and leaves the alarms on your iPhone in place. |
| Deleting the account | Settings → Account → Delete account removes the account and everything stored under it, immediately and permanently, on our servers. If you signed in with Apple, Apple asks you to confirm once more and we then ask Apple to disconnect Wakey from your Apple ID; if that cannot be done, the App tells you how to remove the connection yourself (Settings → your name → Sign-In & Security → Sign in with Apple). The alarms on your iPhone stay. |
When you play this mission, single camera frames (about one every half second while the mission runs) are sent to our server and on to OpenAI's API, which answers whether the asked-for object, hand, face or gesture is in view. Because some prompts ask for a selfie, a frame can show your face.
Wakey Pro is sold through the App Store and billed to your Apple ID. We never see your payment details. RevenueCat processes the purchase receipt so the app knows whether Pro is active; it holds an app user identifier (random while you are signed out, your account identifier when you are signed in), the receipt, and device information such as model, operating system and locale. Superwall shows the Wakey Pro screen and receives the same app user identifier and device information to decide which screen to show. Apple's own terms apply to the purchase itself.
To see which parts of Wakey work and which do not, the App records what people do in it, using PostHog as the analytics provider. There is no switch for this in the App. If you object, contact us and we will delete the events already recorded under your identifier; events keep being recorded while you use the App.
alarm_created: which mission types the new alarm has and how manywake_completed: the mission types, how many times you pressed Stop, and how many
missions were swapped through the safety valvesigned_in (with the provider, Apple or Google), signed_out,
account_deletedAlarm labels, alarm times, your name, your email address, camera frames, anything you type in a mission. Analytics sees that a wake was completed, never what the alarm was called or when it rang.
Our hosting provider, Supabase, records standard server logs — IP address, timestamps and the request made — as a normal part of running a service and for security. We do not use them to profile you.
We do not collect your location, contacts, photos library, health data, calendar or advertising identifier. We show no ads, build no advertising profiles and do not track you across other apps or websites. This website sets no cookies and has no tracking pixels, which is why you were not asked to consent to any.
The legal-basis column applies where the GDPR or the UK Data Protection Act governs your data.
| Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|
| Running alarms and missions on your iPhone | Not processed by us — it stays on your device |
| Creating and running your account, and syncing your alarms between your iPhones | Performance of a contract |
| Checking a camera frame during the mission you chose | Performance of a contract |
| Selling and honouring Wakey Pro | Performance of a contract |
| Measuring how the App is used so it can be improved | Legitimate interests (you can object — see Usage analytics) |
| Keeping the service secure and diagnosing faults | Legitimate interests |
| Replying when you contact us | Legitimate interests |
| Recipient | What and why |
|---|---|
| Apple | Your purchase of Wakey Pro, under Apple's terms |
| RevenueCat | The purchase receipt and the app user identifier, to tell the app whether Pro is active |
| Superwall | The app user identifier and device information, to show the Wakey Pro screen |
| Supabase | Hosting, authentication and the database for accounts, alarms and wake history |
| OpenAI | Camera frames during the "Hunt an object (AI)" mission, for the decision only |
| PostHog | The usage events listed under Usage analytics |
Nobody else. We do not sell personal information, share it with data brokers, or allow anyone to train artificial-intelligence models on it.
Supabase hosts our data in the United States (Oregon). RevenueCat, Superwall, OpenAI and PostHog also process data in the United States. If you are in the EU or the UK, these transfers rely on the providers' standard contractual clauses.
In the App: Settings → Account → Delete account, then confirm. Deletion is immediate and permanent. It removes the account and the alarms and wake history stored under it, and the App starts a fresh analytics identifier. It does not remove the alarms on your iPhone (they keep ringing, as for someone who never signed in) or your purchase with Apple, which you can bring back any time with Restore Purchases. Events already sent to analytics stay pseudonymous under the old identifier; contact us to have that person record deleted as well. Deleting the App from your iPhone does not delete the account.
Everything between the App and our providers travels encrypted. The App keeps your session in the iOS keychain. Access to our servers is limited to the developer.
Wakey is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.
Under PIPEDA and BC's PIPA you can ask what personal information we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected, and withdraw your consent. Deleting your account withdraws consent for everything held under it. You can complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for British Columbia.
Under the GDPR and UK GDPR you have the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection, and the right to withdraw consent at any time. You can complain to your supervisory authority. Deleting your account in the App erases everything held under it; contact us for the analytics person record.
Under the CCPA/CPRA, the VCDPA and similar state laws you can know what we collect, delete it, correct it, and opt out of sale or sharing — we do not sell or share personal information for advertising. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.
To exercise any of these rights, delete your account in the App or contact us.
When this policy changes, the date at the top changes. A material change is noted here and in the App's release notes.
16 October 2026: the account record now keeps more of what Apple or Google send at sign-in (see Accounts), deleting an account signed in with Apple also disconnects Wakey from that Apple ID, and email is the only contact channel.
15 October 2026: the App no longer has an in-app switch for usage analytics; see Usage analytics for how to object.
