Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 12, 2026
This Privacy Policy covers the Wakory app (iPhone & Apple Watch) and this website.
1. Data Controller
Entwicklung und Beratung Zeuch e.K. (Andreas Zeuch)
Fiedelhof 31
34270 Schauenburg, Germany
Email: wakory@zeuch.net
2. Data Wakory Processes
To analyze your sleep within your chosen wake window, Wakory processes:
- Via HealthKit (read-only): sleep analysis data (sleep stages) and heart rate.
- Via the Apple Watch motion sensors (Core Motion): wrist accelerometer / motion data. This is evaluated live only and is not stored.
Wakory does not write any data back to HealthKit. The app additionally processes local settings data (wake window, reminder times, alarm status) to run the alarm and reminder mechanism.
3. How This Data Is Processed
All processing happens exclusively on-device, on your iPhone and Apple Watch. Wakory is offline-first: there is no backend server, no cloud sync, and no transmission of your health or usage data to us or to any third party. Alarm and reminder state is shared only via a local App Group between the iPhone app, Watch app, and Watch complication — this stays entirely on your device and never leaves it.
4. Health Data: Our Commitment
Wakory will not use, disclose, or share data obtained through HealthKit with third parties for advertising, marketing, or other use-based data mining purposes. Wakory does not sell data obtained through HealthKit to data brokers or other information resellers. HealthKit data is used exclusively to provide the Smart Wake feature.
5. Legal Basis
Processing is based on your explicit authorization granted through iOS system settings (HealthKit access) and on the performance of the functionality you requested (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR); for health data specifically, additionally on your consent (Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR). You can revoke HealthKit access at any time in iOS Settings.
6. Notifications
Arming reminders and alarms are triggered via local notifications (UserNotifications) and AlarmKit. No push server is involved; scheduling happens entirely on your device.
7. No Tracking, No Analytics
Wakory contains no third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs. An App Tracking Transparency prompt is not required, as no cross-app or cross-device tracking occurs.
8. This Website
This website does not set cookies and does not embed analytics or tracking scripts. Our hosting provider, mittwald, processes technically necessary server log data (e.g. IP address, timestamp) to serve and secure the site. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in secure operation).
9. Retention & Deletion
All app data remains on your device. You can delete it at any time via the in-app delete function or by uninstalling the app. HealthKit permissions can be revoked at any time in iOS Settings.
10. Your Rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to access (Art. 15), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20), and objection (Art. 21). Since Wakory does not transmit data to us, exercising these rights in practice mainly involves your own device settings. For requests, contact us at the email above. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.
11. Changes to This Policy
We will update this Privacy Policy whenever the app's functionality or the legal situation changes. The current version is always available on this page.
