FaceAlarm: privacy policy
Last updated November 2, 2026. Checked against the app's code on that date.
The short version
Your selfies are saved to a FaceAlarm album in your Photos library and are never uploaded by the app; face detection runs on the phone. The iPhone app sends anonymous usage counts to our own counter; the Android app has no internet access at all.
- Account: none. The app has no sign-in and no account.
- What reaches us: iPhone only: anonymous usage counts (see Analytics). Android: nothing; the app has no internet permission.
- Selling or sharing data: never. No advertising, no ad identifiers, no data brokers.
What the app sends to us
- iPhone only: anonymous usage counts (see Analytics). Android: nothing; the app has no internet permission.
What stays on your device
- Selfies (FaceAlarm album in Photos)
- Face detection results (bounding box only, in memory)
- Alarm settings, streaks, preferences (UserDefaults, Core Data)
- Skin test answers and result
Other services the app connects to
Each of these receives only what is listed, plus the IP address any network request carries. Services run by others handle it under their own privacy policies.
| Service | What it receives | When |
|---|---|---|
Apple App Store | Purchases and restores | When you buy or restore |
Permissions
iOS asks you before the app can use any of these, and you can change your answer in Settings at any time. The app keeps working without them, minus the feature that needs it.
- Camera: Taking the selfie that dismisses the alarm
- Photos (read): Showing the FaceAlarm album, syncing and importing old photos
- Photos (add): Saving each selfie to the FaceAlarm album
- Alarms (AlarmKit, iOS 26+): Full-screen alarm
- Notifications: Alarm alerts on iOS 17-25
- Android: CAMERA, READ_MEDIA_IMAGES, POST_NOTIFICATIONS, SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM/USE_EXACT_ALARM, USE_FULL_SCREEN_INTENT, FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PLAYBACK, RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED, ACCESS_NOTIFICATION_POLICY: Selfie, gallery, alarm that rings through Do Not Disturb and survives reboot
Analytics and crash reports
The app counts its own use with our self-hosted, open-source counter at analytics.superduperai.co (superduper-analytics). Each event carries its name, the app version, a timestamp and a random id created on first launch. That id lives only in the app, is deleted with it, and is not the advertising identifier or tied to any account. The server keeps the country Cloudflare reports for the request and does not store your IP address. No third-party analytics, no tracking across apps or websites. FaceAlarm on iPhone sends: app launched; photo taken (by the alarm or by hand, how many photos the series has, days since the first photo); the support screen shown; and purchase steps with the product, currency and price. There is no switch for it in the app yet. The Android app sends nothing.
No crash reporter in the app. If you chose to share analytics with app developers in iOS Settings, Apple sends us anonymous crash logs; you can turn that off under Settings > Privacy & Security > Analytics & Improvements.
Purchases
StoreKit 2: facealarm.removenag (Support the App) and facealarm.course.faceyoga (Face Yoga Course). Restore Purchase on the support screen.
Sync and backup
FaceAlarm has no sync of its own. Selfies go into your Photos library, so if iCloud Photos is on, Apple syncs them like any other photo.
Children
The app is for a general audience. It asks no one, children included, for a name, email, age or any other personal detail.
Deleting your data
Your selfies are in the FaceAlarm album of your Photos library: keep or delete them there. Alarms and settings live on the device and go when you delete the app, as does the random counter id. We hold no account or profile of you, so there is nothing on our side to export or erase; if you think we hold something, write to us.
