Used to restore scheduled alarms after the device restarts.
Used to play alarm sounds reliably while an alarm is active.

Because all data is stored locally on your device, you can remove it at any time by:
Deleting shifts or holidays from within ShiftBell
Clearing ShiftBell’s app data in Android system settings
Uninstalling ShiftBell from your device (this deletes app data and private storage)
We may update this privacy policy from time to time, for example when new features are added.
