Horizontal Alarm Privacy Policy
Effective date: 19 October 2026
1. About This Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how the Horizontal Alarm app (the "App") handles information. The App is provided by its developer ("we", "us" or "our").
The App is designed to work without collecting personal data. We do not collect, receive, store, sell or share any personal data through the App.
2. Information Kept on Your Device
To work properly, the App saves the following on your device only:
• the alarms you create, including their times, labels, repeat days, sounds and snooze choices
• the state of the timer and stopwatch
• your display choices, such as clock style, colours, brightness, time zone and custom time
This information is stored using the standard storage that iOS provides to each app, in a space shared only between the App and its own widgets. If you add the App's widgets, they read this information on your device to show the time, your next alarm, the timer and the stopwatch, and the stopwatch widget's buttons save their changes there. It never leaves your device through the App or its widgets, and we cannot see it or access it.
3. Information We Do Not Collect
The App does not collect your name, email address, phone number, location, contacts, photos, health information, device identifiers, usage data, diagnostics or crash data.
The App has no accounts and no sign in. It contains no advertising, no analytics and no tracking, and it does not include any third party software development kits. The App does not connect to the internet.
4. Permissions
On iOS 26 and later, the App asks for permission to schedule alarms using Apple's AlarmKit framework. This allows your alarms and timers to ring on your device, including when it is on silent or in a Focus.
On earlier versions of iOS, the App asks for permission to send notifications. These are local notifications, created and delivered on your device, that let your alarms and timers ring when the App is closed. The App does not use push notifications and does not send you marketing messages.
In both cases your alarms are handled by iOS on your device and are not sent to us. You can turn these permissions on or off at any time in the Settings app on your device. If you turn them off, alarms and timers may not ring.
5. Apple and Device Backups
You download the App through Apple's App Store. If you pay for anything, Apple processes the payment under its own terms and privacy policy, and we do not receive your payment details.
If you have chosen to share analytics with app developers in your device settings, Apple may provide us with combined, anonymous statistics, such as the number of downloads or crashes. These statistics do not identify you.
If you back up your device, for example with iCloud Backup, the information described in section 2 may be included in that backup. Backups are managed by Apple or your chosen provider under their own terms.
6. Our Website
Our website for the App, where this Privacy Policy and our Terms and Conditions are published, is hosted by Google using Google Sites.
When you visit the website, Google may automatically collect technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device information and the pages you view, and may use cookies, to run, secure and improve the site. Google handles this information as an independent service provider under its own privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.
We have not added any analytics, advertising or tracking of our own to the website, and we do not use it to collect personal data. We do not receive information from Google that identifies you.
7. If You Email Us
If you choose to email us, we will receive your email address and anything you include in your message. We use this only to reply to you and to deal with your enquiry. We keep it only for as long as needed for that purpose, we do not add you to any mailing list, and we do not share it with anyone else unless the law requires us to.
8. Children
The App is suitable for a general audience. Because the App does not collect personal data from anyone, it does not knowingly collect personal data from children.
9. Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights under data protection laws, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation, the Data Protection Act 2018, the EU General Data Protection Regulation and the California Consumer Privacy Act. These may include the right to access, correct or delete personal data held about you.
Because the App does not collect personal data, we do not hold any App data about you. If you have emailed us, you may ask us to access or delete that correspondence by contacting us at the address below.
You also have the right to complain to a data protection authority. In the United Kingdom this is the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
10. Deleting Your Information
All information the App saves is stored on your device. You can delete it at any time by deleting the App.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example if the App changes. The updated version will be available in the App and on our website with a new effective date. If a change means the App would begin collecting personal data, we will tell you clearly before that happens.

Effective date: 19 October 2026
These Terms and Conditions (the "Terms") apply to your use of the Horizontal Alarm app (the "App"), provided by its developer ("we", "us" or "our"). By downloading or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
These Terms are in addition to Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the "Standard EULA"). If there is any conflict between these Terms and the Standard EULA, the Standard EULA applies to the extent of that conflict.
We grant you a limited, personal, revocable licence to use the App on Apple devices that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. This licence is not exclusive and cannot be transferred.
You must not copy, modify, distribute, sell, rent or lend the App, or reverse engineer, decompile or try to extract its source code, except where the law allows you to do so.
The App is available through the App Store on the terms shown there. Any payment is handled by Apple. Refund requests are dealt with by Apple under its own policies, and you can request one through reportaproblem.apple.com.
Nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer.
The App uses features provided by iOS to sound alarms and timers. Whether an alarm or timer sounds depends on your device and its settings. An alarm or timer may not sound, or may sound late or quietly, if for example:
your device is switched off, out of battery or damaged
the Alarms or Notifications permission for the App is turned off
your volume, Focus or other device settings prevent it
on versions of iOS earlier than iOS 26, the App is closed and your device is set to silent, because notifications follow your device's Ring and Silent switch
iOS, an update to iOS or another app affects how it works
Please check your alarms regularly and keep your device charged. Do not rely on the App as your only alarm where missing an alarm could lead to harm, loss or danger, for example for medication, travel, work or anything involving safety.
The Time Zone and Custom Time features change only the time shown on the clock. Alarms always ring at your device's real time.
The App, including its design, code, sounds, graphics and text, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the licence in section 2, no rights are given to you.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the App is provided "as is" and "as available". We do not promise that the App will always be available, uninterrupted, error free or suitable for your particular needs, and we make no other warranties or representations, whether express or implied, except those that cannot be excluded by law.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, or for any loss of earnings, opportunity, appointments, travel, data or goodwill, arising from your use of, or inability to use, the App, including any alarm or timer that does not sound.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability to you for all claims relating to the App is limited to the amount you paid for the App, if any.
Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded by law. If you are a consumer in the United Kingdom or the European Union, you have legal rights in relation to digital content that is not as described, not of satisfactory quality or not fit for purpose, including under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. These Terms do not affect those rights.
You and we acknowledge that:
These Terms are between you and us only, and not with Apple Inc. ("Apple"). We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the App and its content.
Apple has no obligation at all to provide any maintenance or support for the App.
If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund any amount you paid for the App. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation at all with respect to the App.
We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App or your possession or use of it, including product liability claims, any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection, privacy or similar laws.
If any third party claims that the App or your possession and use of it infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of that claim.
You confirm that you are not located in a country that is subject to a United States Government embargo, or that has been designated by the United States Government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not listed on any United States Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
Apple and its subsidiaries are third party beneficiaries of these Terms, and once you accept these Terms, Apple will have the right to enforce them against you as a third party beneficiary.
We may update these Terms from time to time, for example if the App changes or the law requires it. The updated version will be available in the App and on our website with a new effective date. If you keep using the App after an update, the updated Terms will apply.
Your licence to use the App ends automatically if you break these Terms. You may stop using the App at any time by deleting it.
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction over any dispute relating to them. If you live elsewhere as a consumer, you keep the protection of any mandatory laws of your country, and you may also bring proceedings in your local courts.
If any part of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the rest will continue in effect. If we do not enforce any part of these Terms straight away, we can still enforce it later. These Terms, together with the Standard EULA and our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us about the App.
If you have any questions about these Terms, please contact us at max.im.enterprize@gmail.com.
