Awake privacy policy
The short version
Awake keeps your device from going to sleep while you want it awake. It has no internet permission, no accounts, no ads, analytics or trackers, and it collects and shares nothing. Its settings stay on your device, and Meridian11 receives nothing from it.
Permissions and what they are for
| Permission | What Awake uses it for |
|---|---|
| Keep the device awake | Holding the screen and processor awake while you have Awake turned on, and letting go when you turn it off or its timer ends |
| Foreground service | Staying active while it keeps the device awake, with a notification that shows it is on and turns it off in one tap |
| Notifications (optional) | That notification, with its Turn off and +30 minutes buttons |
| Run at startup | Resetting the app icon and the switch to off after the device restarts or Awake is updated |
Awake can turn itself off when the battery runs low or the lid closes; you choose which of these it does in its settings. It learns of them from Android's own signals, which need no permission and are never stored or sent.
What Awake keeps
Your settings (whether Awake is on, the timer you chose, and its options) stay in Awake's private app storage on your device. If you have Android backup turned on, Android may include them in your device backup, in your own Google account. That backup is managed by Android and your account; Meridian11 can't see it. Uninstalling Awake deletes its data from the device.
Google Play
If you install Awake from Google Play, Google Play gives Meridian11 statistics such as install counts, and reports of crashes and freezes from people who chose to share them with app developers. These come from Google Play, not from Awake; they don't identify you, and Google's privacy policy covers them.
Children
Awake isn't directed at children under 13, and Meridian11 receives nothing from anyone who uses it.
