Your Privacy, Clearly Explained
NapStop does not collect personal data directly. We use Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics to improve app
stability and experience. The app accesses your device location solely to provide location-based alarm
functionality. All alarm settings and preferences stay entirely on your device.
01 — Overview
What This Policy Covers
This Privacy Policy explains how NapStop handles your information. NapStop is an Android alarm app that helps
you avoid oversleeping during naps and commutes. Your alarm settings, preferences, and saved locations are stored
locally on your device and never transmitted. However, we do use Firebase services (Analytics and Crashlytics) to
help improve app stability and user experience. The app also accesses your device location to power
location-based alarms.
02 — Data Collection
What We Do & Don't Collect
NapStop does not directly collect any of the following:
✕ Personal information
✕ Contacts or messages
✕ Photos or media
✕ Device identifiers
✕ IP addresses
✕ Biometric data
✕ Browsing history
✕ App usage statistics
Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics may collect anonymous technical data such as device model, OS version, and
crash logs. This is used solely to improve app performance and fix bugs. It cannot be used to identify you
personally.
Location Data
NapStop accesses your device location to provide location-based alarm functionality (e.g., waking you up when you
arrive near your destination). Your location data is processed locally on your device and is never transmitted
to our servers or shared with any third party. We do not store or collect your location history.
03 — Permissions
Why We Request Permissions
NapStop requests only the permissions necessary to function as an alarm app. No permission is used to collect or
transmit personal data.
| Permission |
Purpose |
| ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION |
Determine your precise location for location-based alarms |
| ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION |
Approximate location for location-based alarm triggers |
| ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION |
Continue monitoring location while the app is in the background so alarms trigger correctly |
| POST_NOTIFICATIONS |

| FOREGROUND_SERVICE |
Keep the alarm service running reliably |
04 — Third Parties
Third Party Services
NapStop does not use any advertising SDKs or cloud sync services. Specifically, we do not use:
- Advertising SDKs — the app is 100% ad-free
- Cloud storage or sync services
Firebase (Google)
We use Firebase services provided by Google LLC for the following purposes:
Firebase Analytics — collects anonymous usage data such as screen
views and app events to help us understand how the app is used and improve the user experience. This data is
aggregated and cannot be used to identify you personally.
Firebase Crashlytics — automatically collects crash reports when
the app encounters an error. This helps us identify and fix bugs quickly. Crash reports may include device
model, OS version, and app version at the time of the crash.
Firebase is governed by Google's Privacy Policy. You can learn more at

05 — Local Storage
All Data Stays On Your Device
The app stores your preferences locally on your device. This includes your alarm settings, saved locations,
notification preferences, and app configuration.
This local data is entirely under your control. Uninstalling the app removes all stored data from your device.
We have no copy of it and no way to access it.
06 — Security
Your Data is Private
All your alarm settings, saved locations, and preferences are stored locally on your device. We have no access
to your data because we never receive it in the first place. Your location is processed on-device only and is
never sent to any server.
07 — Children
Safe for All Ages
Since NapStop does not collect personal data, there is no risk of collecting information from users of any age,
including children under 13. The app is safe for all users.
08 — Updates
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated
date at the top. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the app after changes means
you accept the updated policy.
