Privacy Policy – Place Alarm

1. Data the app stores on your device

• Places you save: name, coordinates and radius.
• Items you add, their done/not-done state and repeat settings.
• Settings (alarm sound, snooze time, theme…).
• An event log of arrivals, departures, alarms and recent location fixes, so you can see History and Diagnostics. Location entries are deleted automatically after 7 days, other entries after 30 days.

This data is kept only in the app’s private storage on your device. It is not uploaded, synced or backed up to any server operated by us. Uninstalling the app deletes it.

2. Location

The app needs your device’s location, including in the background (“Allow all the time” on Android, “Always” on iOS), for one purpose only: to detect when you arrive at or leave the places you saved, so it can alert you even when the app is closed or not in use.

Location is processed on your device only. It is never sent to us, never shared with third parties, never sold and never used for advertising or analytics. You can withdraw permission at any time in your device settings; reminders then stop working in the background.

3. Data we collect

None. The app has no account, no server, no analytics, no crash reporting service, no advertising and no tracking. We cannot see your places, items or location.

4. Third-party services (only when you use the map or search)

• Google Maps SDK shows map tiles when you add or edit a place and are online. Google receives the map area being displayed and technical data needed to serve the map, under the https://policies.google.com/privacy (Google Privacy Policy).
• Place search uses your phone’s built-in geocoding service (Google on Android, Apple on iOS) and sends the text you search for, under Google’s (https://policies.google.com/privacy) or Apple’s (https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/) privacy policy.

Your saved places, items and location history are never sent to these services. Reminders work fully without them.

5. Sharing a diagnostics log

Settings › Advanced (for support) › Share log creates a text file on your device (places, coordinates and recent events) to help with support. It is only shared if you choose to send it, for example by email to us. We use a log you send only to answer your support request and delete it afterwards.

6. Children

The app is not directed at children under 13 and collects no personal data from anyone.

7. Security

Data is stored in the app’s sandboxed storage protected by your device’s operating system and lock screen.

8. Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be published at the same address with a new effective date, and summarised in the app’s release notes.
