Privacy Policy for SoulWake
Effective Date: September 14, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to SoulWake. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our mobile application.
2. Data We Collect and How We Use It
SoulWake requires access to certain device permissions strictly to provide core app functionality.
Location Data
We use your location data (Approximate and Precise Location) to calculate accurate daily prayer times and to enable the "Trip Tracker" alarm feature. When using the Trip Tracker, your location is temporarily transmitted to external mapping services strictly to calculate the distance to your destination. This data is processed ephemerally; we do not permanently store your location data on any servers, nor do we track your movements.
Health Data
SoulWake integrates with Health Connect to access health-related data, specifically your daily Step Count and Distance. We use this data exclusively to power the "Walk to wake up" alarm challenge, and to display your physical activity progress on our app widgets. This data is processed locally on your device. We do not transmit, store, or process your health data on any external servers.
3. Third-Party Services, Analytics, and Data Sharing
SoulWake does not share, sell, rent, or transfer your personal, location, or health data to any marketing or advertising third parties.
However, to ensure app stability and fix bugs, we use Google Analytics for Firebase and Firebase Crashlytics. These services automatically collect anonymous app performance data, crash logs, and device IDs. This anonymous data is transmitted to and stored by Google solely to help us monitor app health and fix crashes.
4. Data Security
Since your data (including your customized alarms, location-based calculations, and local settings) is stored locally on your device using Android's standard local storage mechanisms (Room Database/DataStore), it is secured by your device's operating system.
5. Data Retention and Deletion
SoulWake is designed to be privacy-first. Because we do not store your personal, location, or health data on any external servers, there is no remote account to delete.
You retain full control over your data:
App Data Deletion: You can delete all your local SoulWake data at any time by uninstalling the app or by clearing the app's data in your device's Settings (Settings > Apps > SoulWake > Storage > Clear Data).
Health Data Management: SoulWake only reads health data from Health Connect. You can revoke SoulWake's access to your health data or delete your underlying health data directly through the Health Connect app on your device.
6. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by updating the "Effective Date" at the top of this policy.
