ProveAwake Privacy Policy

Last updated: 31 October 2026

ProveAwake is an alarm. It is built for people who cannot rely on sound, and it is built to be trusted with a bedroom, a camera and a morning. This policy says plainly what it does with your information. Where the answer is “nothing”, it says that too, rather than dressing it up.

ProveAwake is published by Royal Nation LLC, 539 W Commerce St, Dallas, TX 75208-1953, United States.

What stays on your device

All of the following is stored only in ProveAwake’s private storage on your phone, and is never transmitted to us or to anyone else:

• Your alarms, including times, repeat days and labels
• Your Wake Plans, including which signals and Awake Checks you chose
• Your Wake Points, including the codes you print
• Your Wake Records, including whether a wake sequence was completed, whether it escalated, and whether you used Override
• Your onboarding and permission preferences

Deleting the app deletes all of it. We have no copy, so there is nothing for us to delete on request and nothing for us to hand over if asked.

The camera

ProveAwake uses the camera for two optional Awake Checks: scanning a QR Wake Point, and Face Response, which asks you to make a movement and checks that you made it.

Both run entirely on your device.

• No photo or video is saved. Frames are examined as they arrive and discarded immediately.
• No image ever leaves your device. Nothing is uploaded, and there is no server to upload it to.
• Face Response does not recognise you. It measures whether a face is present, roughly how large it is in the frame, which way the head is turned, how open the eyes are, and how bright the scene is. Those measurements are numbers. They are used for a few seconds to decide whether you performed the movement you were asked for, and are then gone.
• It is not identity verification and must not be relied on as such. It confirms that someone performed a movement, not that a particular person did.

Both camera checks are optional. ProveAwake is fully usable without granting camera permission at all, and refusing it never leaves you unable to turn off an alarm.

What leaves your device

Three things. The first is needed for the app to work; the second is limited to what is listed and can be switched off; the third happens only if you ask for it.

1. Your ProveAwake Plus purchase status

Purchases are handled by Apple or Google, and are managed for us by RevenueCat, Inc., which tells the app whether your subscription or one-time purchase is active. For this to work, RevenueCat receives:

• A randomly generated identifier for your installation of the app. It is not your name, your email or your Apple or Google account. We never set it to anything that identifies you, and we do not ask you to create an account.
• Your purchase and subscription status, including which product you bought, whether a free trial is running, and whether it has renewed, lapsed or been refunded.
• Basic technical information sent by the store, such as device model, platform version and country, which the stores use to validate a purchase.

We use this to decide whether to unlock ProveAwake Plus features. It also means RevenueCat’s dashboard shows us purchase and subscription totals — how many people subscribed, how many refunded — which is how we know whether the paid tier works. Those records are tied to the anonymous identifier above, not to you. We do not use any of it for advertising or profiling, and it is not sold.

Your payment details are never seen by ProveAwake or by RevenueCat. Apple and Google handle payment entirely, and we receive only the answer to “is this purchase valid”.

RevenueCat’s own privacy policy is at https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy.

If you never buy ProveAwake Plus, this section still applies in a small way: the app asks the store whether you have an entitlement, which requires the same anonymous identifier. It does not require anything about you.

2. Usage events and crash reports

ProveAwake uses Google’s Firebase service (Analytics and Crashlytics), operated by Google LLC, to learn whether the app is working and to fix it when it is not. You can switch this off at any time in Settings, under “Share usage and crash data”.

Usage events. The app records exactly three of its own events:

• that the app was opened for the first time after being installed
• that a wake sequence ended, and how it ended: awake confirmed, required escalation, no confirmation, or manual override
• that the Plus purchase screen was shown

Nothing else about how you use the app is recorded by us. The events carry no alarm labels, no alarm times, no Wake Point names and nothing you have typed. Firebase also records some things automatically that cannot be switched off individually: when the app is opened and for how long, that the app was updated, and basic technical details — app version, operating system version, device model, language, and a general location (country or city) worked out from your network address, which is not stored. Automatic screen tracking is turned off.

Crash reports. If the app crashes, Crashlytics and our own error server each receive a report containing the technical state of the app at that moment: what code was running, the app and operating system version, and the device model. It does not contain your alarms or anything you entered.

Both use a randomly generated identifier for your installation. It is not your name, email, or Apple or Google account, and we do not link it to you. Advertising identifiers are not used or collected, and advertising features of these services are switched off.

Google’s own privacy information for Firebase is at https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy.

3. Product-update messages, only if you switch them on

Settings has a switch, Product updates, which is off by default. Until you turn it on, ProveAwake does not contact the messaging service at all — it is not even started.

If you turn it on, the app asks your permission to send notifications and registers your device with our own push server so we can send you occasional messages about ProveAwake. It receives a notification token for your device, a randomly generated identifier, your operating system and app version, language and time zone, and records whether messages are delivered and opened. Your IP address is used only to limit abuse and is not stored, and traffic passes through Cloudflare. Turning the switch off withdraws this, and stops the service being started on later launches.

Your alarms never depend on this. They are scheduled on your device and fire without any connection.

What we do not do

• We do not track which screens you open or how you move around the app. The only usage we record is the three events listed above, and you can switch that off.
• We do not use advertising, advertising identifiers or advertising trackers.
• We do not start the messaging service unless you switch Product updates on.
• We do not have accounts, logins, or a server holding your data.
• We do not access your contacts, location, microphone, health data, photos or calendar. The app does not request those permissions.
• We do not sell or rent information to anyone.

Permissions, and why each exists

Permission	Why ProveAwake asks
Alarms and reminders	To schedule an alarm that fires at an exact time, including when the device is idle. Without it the alarm cannot be relied on.
Notifications	To show the alarm and its Live Activity. Without it the alarm may be silent.
Full-screen intent (Android)	To show the wake screen over the lock screen when the alarm fires.
Camera (optional)	Only for the QR Wake Point and Face Response checks, if you choose them.
Vibration, wake lock, boot completed (Android)	To vibrate, wake the screen, and restore your alarms after a restart.

You can refuse any of them. ProveAwake tells you plainly what it will not be able to do rather than failing silently.

Children

ProveAwake is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone. We hold no name, email or account for anyone, so there is nothing identifying a child to delete.

Your rights

Because your alarm data never reaches us, most data rights have no work for us to do: there is nothing to export, correct or erase on our side. Deleting the app removes everything.

For the purchase record held by RevenueCat and the stores, and for usage events, crash reports or product-update registration held by Google or on our own servers, you can ask us to delete it using the contact address below, and we will pass the request on. Because none of it is tied to your name, we may not be able to tell which records belong to your device, and we will say so rather than guess. Depending on where you live, you may have rights under the GDPR, the UK GDPR or the CCPA. We do not sell personal information under the CCPA, and we have never done so.

Changes

If this policy changes we will update the date at the top. If a change ever means information starts leaving your device that did not before, we will say so clearly in the app rather than only here.
