Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how Type Alarm (“we”, “the app”) handles information when you use the iOS application Type Alarm / 打字闹钟.
1. Overview
Type Alarm is an alarm and typing-challenge app. We design it to work primarily on your device. We do not operate a user account system and we do not sell your personal information.
2. Information we process
2.1 Data stored on your device
The app stores data locally on your iPhone, which may include:
- Alarm times, labels, and repeat schedules you create
- App preferences (for example sound choice, onboarding flags)
- Free-trial start time and related access status
- Optional usage stats such as wake streaks (stored on device)
- Recently used typing-challenge phrases (to avoid immediate repeats)
This information stays on your device unless you back up your device with Apple services.
2.2 Purchases and subscriptions
If you subscribe to Type Alarm Pro, purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store and StoreKit. We receive an entitlement signal (whether Pro is active) so the app can unlock real alarms after the free trial. We do not receive your full payment card details. Apple’s privacy policy applies to payment processing.
2.3 System permissions
With your permission, the app uses AlarmKit / alarm scheduling so alarms can ring at the times you set. You can change this in iOS Settings. Without permission, real alarms cannot ring.
2.4 App Store review prompts
After certain positive moments in the app, we may request an App Store rating using Apple’s standard review prompt. That interaction is handled by Apple.
3. Analytics, advertising, and tracking
As of this policy, Type Alarm does not use third-party advertising SDKs and does not sell data to data brokers. We do not use your data for cross-app tracking as defined by Apple’s App Tracking Transparency.
4. How we use information
- Provide and improve alarm and typing-challenge features
- Enforce free trial and Pro subscription access
- Restore purchases when you ask
- Respond to support requests you send us
5. Data sharing
We do not sell your personal information. Data may be processed by Apple as needed to provide App Store distribution, subscriptions, device backup, and system services. If required by law, we may disclose information to comply with legal obligations.
6. Data retention
Local app data remains on your device until you delete the app or clear app data. Subscription records are retained by Apple according to their policies. Support emails you send us are retained as long as needed to resolve your request.
7. Children’s privacy
Type Alarm is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
8. International users
The app is distributed via the Apple App Store. Your data may be processed in the country where your device is located and by Apple in other countries as described in Apple’s policies.
9. Your choices
- Revoke alarm permission in iOS Settings
- Manage or cancel subscriptions in iOS Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions
- Delete the app to remove local data from the device
- Contact us for privacy questions (see Support)
10. Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the app after updates means you accept the revised policy.
