How WakeGuard handles your data

Creating a WakeGuard account is optional. The app still works locally without sign-in.

If you sign in, WakeGuard uses Firebase to store your account identifier, email address, display name, optional profile photo, cloud alarm backups, and basic sync metadata.

Users can delete their account inside the app. That deletes the WakeGuard cloud profile, profile photo, and cloud alarm backups.

WakeGuard uses Firebase Analytics to understand onboarding progress and failed sync events, and Firebase Crashlytics to diagnose crashes.

These events are used for app quality, reliability, and sync troubleshooting. They are not used for advertising or cross-app tracking.

Alarms, timers, display settings, app preferences, dismissal history, wake-challenge configuration, and backup dismissal code material are stored locally unless the user signs in for cloud backup.

Wake-challenge camera images are processed on the phone for QR or object verification and are not saved by WakeGuard.

WakeGuard requests permissions only when needed, including camera access for QR or object verification, Bluetooth for optional accessory pairing, location when required by the operating system for nearby Bluetooth scanning, photo library access for optional profile pictures, and notifications for alarm reminders.

If optional weather display features are used, the phone may request approximate weather information from third-party services such as ipapi.co and Open-Meteo.

WakeGuard does not retain this weather lookup data.

WakeGuard is a routine-support tool and is not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent narcolepsy, sleep disorders, or any other medical condition.

Users should talk with a qualified clinician before making medical decisions.
