Privacy Policy

FanWake, version 3.1 · Last updated November 10, 2026

The short version. FanWake collects nothing and sends nothing. There is no account, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking. Your alarms, themes and settings stay on your device.

What we checked

Before publishing this policy we read FanWake 3.1's code. It contains no analytics, advertising or tracking software, and its own code opens no network connection. Its privacy manifest declares no collected data and no tracking, and its App Store privacy label reads "Data Not Collected". Versions of FanWake before 3.0 included a privacy-focused analytics tool; it was removed in version 3.0.

Data we collect

None. We run no server and receive no information about you or about how you use FanWake.

Data stored on your device

Your alarms, your saved themes, your settings and your wake-up streak are stored by FanWake on your device. They are not sent anywhere and we have no access to them. They are part of your device backup if you keep one. Deleting FanWake deletes them.

Permissions

Alarms (iOS 26 and later): so your alarms ring on the lock screen. The alarms are set with iOS on your device.
Notifications (iOS 17 to 25, and for the optional wake-up check and streak reminder): delivered by iOS on your device.
Motion: only during the Shake challenge, to count shakes. Motion data is read on your device and never stored or sent.
Flashlight: FanWake turns the flashlight on and off. It does not use the camera to take pictures or video, and asks for no camera access.
Siri and Shortcuts: if you use FanWake's shortcuts, iOS passes the request to FanWake, which answers from the alarms on your device.

FanWake asks for no location, contacts, photos, microphone or health data.

Connections made by Apple's software

A few things you may choose to do reach the internet, as they would from any app. They are handled by Apple's software, not by FanWake's code:

Subscribing to FanWake Pro, restoring a purchase, or managing your subscription, which Apple handles.
Opening an App Store page: Rate FanWake, or the app shown under More Apps.
Opening this policy, the Terms of Use or the Support page from FanWake. They are shown by Safari and hosted on GitHub Pages, so GitHub receives the request as it would for any web page. These pages use no cookies, analytics or tracking of their own.

Purchases

Subscriptions are handled entirely by Apple. We never see your name, Apple Account or payment details. Apple gives us anonymous, aggregated sales reports that cannot identify you. FanWake asks the App Store whether you subscribe, and remembers the answer on your device.

Children

FanWake is rated 4+ and collects no data from anyone, including children.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will appear on this page with a new date. As FanWake collects nothing, a change is likely to be about wording, not practice.
