Privacy Policy
1. Introduction
TripWake is a location-based alarm application designed to alert you when your device enters a location radius that you choose. This Privacy Policy explains what information TripWake uses, why it is used, and how it is handled.
2. Location Information
TripWake requires access to your device location for its core location-alarm functionality. Depending on the permissions you grant, TripWake may access your location while the app is in use and while the app is running in the background.
- Your location is used to determine whether you have entered the radius of an active TripWake alarm.
- Background location access is used so active location alarms can continue to function when TripWake is not open on screen.
- TripWake stores the locations and radius settings you choose for your alarms on your device.
- TripWake does not require you to create a TripWake account to use its core alarm features.
3. Alarm Information and App Settings
TripWake stores information required to provide your alarms and preferences. This may include alarm names, selected coordinates, alarm radius, repeat settings, selected days, vibration settings, alarm volume, alarm sound choices, theme preferences, and whether an alarm is active.
This information is stored locally on your device so TripWake can provide its features and remember your preferences.
4. Custom Alarm Sounds
If you use the Premium custom alarm sound feature, you may choose a compatible audio file from your device. TripWake copies the selected file into the app's local storage so it can be used as an alarm sound.
TripWake does not upload your custom alarm sound to a TripWake server.
5. Advertising
The free version of TripWake may display advertising provided by Google Mobile Ads. Google and its advertising services may collect or process information such as device identifiers, advertising identifiers, IP address, app interactions, diagnostic information, and other information permitted by your device settings and applicable law.
The way Google processes information for advertising is governed by Google's own privacy policies and advertising policies. Premium users do not receive advertising within TripWake.
6. TripWake Premium and Purchases
TripWake Premium may be offered as an in-app purchase. Purchases are processed by the applicable app store, such as Google Play or the Apple App Store. TripWake does not directly receive or store your full payment card details.
TripWake may receive information from the app store that is necessary to determine whether a Premium purchase is valid, pending, restored, cancelled, or otherwise updated.
7. Notifications and Device Features
TripWake may request permission to send notifications and may use device features such as vibration and audio to alert you when an alarm is triggered. These permissions are used to provide the alarm functionality you choose to enable.
8. Third-Party Services
TripWake uses third-party services that may process information according to their own privacy policies. These services may include Google Maps Platform for map and place-search functionality, Google Mobile Ads for advertising, and Google Play or the Apple App Store for purchases and app distribution.
9. Data Sharing
TripWake does not sell your personal information. Information may be processed by third-party service providers where necessary to provide maps, place search, advertising, purchases, app distribution, security, diagnostics, or other functionality used by the app.
10. Data Retention and Deletion
Alarm information, preferences, and custom alarm files stored locally by TripWake remain on your device until they are changed, deleted, or the app's data is removed. Uninstalling TripWake or clearing its app data may remove locally stored TripWake information.
Information processed independently by third-party services is subject to the retention and deletion practices of those services.
11. Permissions
You can manage TripWake permissions through your device settings. Restricting permissions such as location, background location, notifications, or related device access may prevent some TripWake features from working correctly.
12. Children's Privacy
TripWake is not designed to knowingly collect personal information directly from children. If you believe information relating to a child has been handled inappropriately through TripWake, please contact us.
13. Security
Reasonable measures are used to design TripWake so that information required for its core alarm features remains on the device where practical. No method of electronic storage or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
14. Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated as TripWake changes, new features are introduced, third-party services change, or legal and regulatory requirements develop. The effective date shown at the top of this policy will be updated when appropriate.
