Privacy Policy
Last Updated: April 7, 2026
Clock: Alarm Clock is a smart alarm clock app developed by Capital Active. It offers features like a clock, stopwatch, alarms, and world clocks to help you manage your time effectively.
This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our app. We respect your privacy and are committed to being transparent about our practices. Please read this policy carefully.
This Privacy Policy applies to the Clock: Alarm Clock Android app developed by Capital Active (referred to as "we", "us", or "our"). It describes the types of information we may collect, how we use and protect it, and your rights regarding that information.
The app does not require you to create an account or provide any personal information. All alarm and clock data are handled locally on your device. We do not collect or store personal data that identifies you directly.
We do not collect any personal data that can identify you, such as your name, email address, phone number, or location.
Local Data Only: Your alarms, stopwatch sessions, and world clock preferences are stored locally on your device using Room database. This data never leaves your device through our app and is not transmitted to us or any third parties.
App Usage and Crash Data: Through Firebase, we collect anonymized, non-personal information about how you use the app (such as which features you engage with) and crash reports. This helps us improve stability and performance. This data does not identify you personally.
Advertising Data: The app shows ads through Google AdMob, AdX, and Meta (Facebook) Audience Network. These services may collect device identifiers and other non-personal data for showing relevant ads. We do not control or have access to the specific data these ad networks collect.
No other personal information is collected.
For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), we rely on the following legal bases under the GDPR where processing occurs:
Legitimate Interests: To improve app performance, fix crashes, and provide a better user experience through anonymized analytics.
Consent: Where required for certain third-party services like advertising and analytics (you can manage this via device settings).
Contractual Necessity: To deliver core app functions, such as scheduling alarms (handled via device permissions).
We process only the minimum data necessary for these purposes.
To provide reliable alarm, stopwatch, and notification features, the app requests the following Android permissions. You can manage or revoke these permissions at any time in your device settings.
Alarm and Scheduling Permissions:
SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM and USE_EXACT_ALARM: These allow the app to schedule alarms that trigger at precise times, even when the device is optimizing battery usage. This ensures your alarms ring reliably without delays.
Foreground Service Permissions:
FOREGROUND_SERVICE: Enables essential services to run in the foreground for reliable operation.
FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SPECIAL_USE: Helps manage high-priority alarm ringing or alerts that should not be interrupted.
FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PLAYBACK: Allows the app to play alarm sounds continuously, even if the app is in the background.
Notifications:
POST_NOTIFICATIONS: Shows important notifications for upcoming alarms, ringing alerts, and reminders so you stay informed.
System and Device Access:
ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE and INTERNET: Detects internet connectivity to support services like Firebase Cloud Messaging (for optional notifications) and analytics.
WAKE_LOCK and DISABLE_KEYGUARD: Wakes the device or keeps the screen active when an alarm triggers.
USE_FULL_SCREEN_INTENT: Displays a full-screen alarm interface even when the device is locked or another app is open.
SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW: Shows alarm screens over other apps when needed.
REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS: Helps the app run reliably in the background so alarms are not delayed by battery restrictions.
VIBRATE: Triggers vibration for alerts, ensuring you are notified even on silent mode.
These permissions are used strictly for the core functionality of the alarm clock and related features. We do not use them for any other purposes.
All user-created data (alarms, settings, etc.) is stored locally on your device. It does not leave your device through our application, and we do not have access to it.
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect any anonymized data processed through third-party services. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We use the following third-party libraries and SDKs to provide app functionality, performance, and features. None of these libraries collect personal data directly through our app beyond what is described.
Firebase Services (provided by Google):
Firebase Bill of Materials, Firebase Analytics, Firebase Crashlytics, and Firebase Cloud Messaging.
Used for: Anonymized usage analytics, crash reporting to improve stability, and sending optional notifications.
Firebase processes data in accordance with Google's privacy practices. For details, see the Firebase Privacy and Security page and Google Privacy Policy.
Glide (com.github.bumptech.glide:glide): Efficient image loading, caching, and display to optimize memory and performance. (Open-source library with no separate privacy policy for its core functionality.)
RoundedImageView (com.makeramen:roundedimageview): Displays images with rounded corners for better UI. (Open-source library.)
Koin (io.insert-koin:koin-android): Dependency injection framework to make code modular and testable. (Open-source.)
EventBus (org.greenrobot:eventbus): Decoupled communication between app components. (Open-source.)
Gson (com.google.code.gson:gson): JSON serialization/deserialization for internal processing. (Open-source.)
Lottie (com.airbnb.android:lottie): Renders beautiful animations from JSON files. (Open-source library by Airbnb.)
Room (androidx.room:room): Local database to store and manage your alarm data securely on your device. This data stays on your device and is not shared with any third parties.
For open-source libraries, their use is governed by their respective licenses (available on GitHub or Maven repositories). We do not share personal data with these libraries beyond necessary technical operations.
The app displays advertisements using Google AdMob, AdX, and Meta (Facebook) Audience Network. These services may use device advertising identifiers and other non-personal data to show ads that may be relevant to you.
We use Firebase Analytics for anonymized insights into feature usage and app performance.
These third-party services have their own privacy practices:
Google Advertising: Google Advertising Privacy & Terms and Google Privacy Policy.
Meta Audience Network: Meta Privacy Policy.
You can manage advertising preferences through your device settings (e.g., opt out of personalized ads).
As this is a mobile app, we do not use traditional web cookies. Third-party advertising and analytics services may use similar technologies (such as SDK identifiers or device signals) for their operations. See section 7 for more details.
We do not process personal data that identifies you. Any processing is limited to anonymized technical data for analytics, crash reporting, advertising, and essential app functions (alarms and notifications). All user content remains local on your device.
Anonymized analytics and crash data are retained by Firebase/Google according to their policies (typically for a limited period to support improvement).
Local data on your device remains until you delete it or uninstall the app. Uninstalling the app removes all associated local data from your device.
The app offers in-app purchases and paid subscriptions for premium features.
All payments and subscriptions are handled safely and securely by Google Play Billing. We do not collect, store, or see your payment details such as credit card information or Google account passwords.
Subscriptions: Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel them before the next billing date. You can manage or cancel your subscription anytime from your Google Play account settings. If you cancel, you will continue to enjoy premium features until the current billing period ends.
Purchase Information: Google may share limited, non-personal purchase details with us, such as subscription status or validity, so we can unlock premium features.
Refunds & Cancellations: All refund requests must be made through Google Play, following Google Play’s refund rules.
Third-Party Sharing: We do not share your purchase or subscription information with any third parties, except when required by Google for payment verification.
Policies: All in-app purchases and subscriptions follow Google Play Terms of Service and Google Privacy Policy.
If you are in the EEA, you have rights including:
Access: Request a copy of any data we hold about you (contact us for anonymized data summaries).
Correction or Deletion: Request correction or deletion where applicable.
Restriction or Objection: Object to certain processing.
Portability: Request transfer of your data in certain cases.
Since most data is local or anonymized, many rights can be exercised by managing device permissions or uninstalling the app. Contact us for assistance.
If you are a California resident, you have rights to:
Know what personal information is collected and shared.
Delete personal information.
Opt out of the sale of personal information (we do not sell personal information).
Non-discrimination for exercising your rights.
We do not sell or share personal data for cross-context behavioral advertising in a way that requires opt-out beyond standard ad settings.
California law requires us to respond to “Do Not Track” signals. Our app does not respond to Do Not Track browser signals as it is a mobile application. You can manage tracking preferences through device advertising settings or by limiting ad personalization.
Any anonymized data sent to Firebase or advertising partners may be transferred and processed in countries outside your home country, including the United States. These transfers comply with applicable data protection laws through standard contractual clauses or other safeguards where required.
We design the app to avoid malware or network misuse. We do not engage in or support any activities that could harm your device or misuse your network. If you encounter suspicious behavior, please contact us.
The app may contain links to third-party websites or services (for example, in help sections or ads). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. Please review their privacy policies before using them.
This app is not targeted at or intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have collected such data, please contact us so we can address it promptly.
We may disclose anonymized or limited data if required by law, court order, or government request, or to protect our rights, safety, or the app's integrity.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The "Last Updated" date at the top will be revised. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
