Privacy Policy

1. Controller

2. Overview

Ember is a wake-up alarm app for iOS and Android, with this marketing website. It is designed to run on your device.

• No account is required to use the app.
• Your alarms, wake-up history, streaks, and scores are stored locally on your device, not on our servers.
• The app does not integrate advertising or third-party analytics tracking SDKs.

3. Data Processed When Visiting the Website

When you visit bonkalarm.app, technical connection data is processed by hosting infrastructure to deliver the pages securely.

• IP address
• Date and time of the request
• Requested URL and referrer, if sent
• Browser and user-agent metadata

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, legitimate interest in secure and stable operation of the website.

4. Data Processed in the App

The app stores the data you create on your device so it can ring and track your progress. This includes alarms and their settings, saved barcode/QR values for scan checks, wake-up history, streaks, scores, and your chosen display name and handle.

• This data is kept locally and is not transmitted to us.
• Removing the app removes this on-device data, subject to any OS-level backups you have enabled.

5. Device Permissions

Ember only requests permissions needed for the features you use, and explains each at the point of use:

• Alarms and notifications to ring at your scheduled wake-up time and keep ringing until the wake-up check is completed, including on the lock screen.
• Camera to scan wake-up barcodes and QR codes for the scan check. Camera frames are processed on your device to read the code; images are not stored or transmitted by us.
• Motion and fitness / step data to count steps for the walk challenge and keep walk-challenge alarms suppressed while you are actively walking. Ember does not read your Health data.

6. Scores, Ranks and Future Accounts

Scores and ranks are currently calculated and stored locally. Friend leaderboards are shown with demo rivals until online accounts are available. If account-based syncing is introduced, this policy will be updated before that processing begins.

7. Contact Requests

If you contact us by email, your message and contact details are processed to handle your request. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

8. Recipients

Data may be disclosed to technical service providers where necessary to operate the service, for example website hosting. App distribution and updates are handled by the Apple App Store and Google Play under their own privacy terms.

9. Retention

Personal data is stored only as long as necessary for the respective purpose or to meet legal retention duties. On-device app data remains until you delete it or remove the app.

10. Your Rights

Under the GDPR, you have the right to:

• access your personal data, Art. 15 GDPR
• rectification, Art. 16 GDPR
• erasure, Art. 17 GDPR
• restriction of processing, Art. 18 GDPR
• data portability, Art. 20 GDPR
• object to processing, Art. 21 GDPR
• lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, Art. 77 GDPR

11. Security

We apply appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect data against unauthorized access, manipulation, loss, or destruction.

We may update this privacy policy to reflect legal, technical, or product changes.
