Privacy Policy

Who we are

Waike is made by Abdelaali ES SALMI, an independent developer ("we", "us"). We are the controller of the data described here. Contact: support@waike.app. Our full details are in the legal notice.

Data that stays on your iPhone

Most of what Waike does happens only on your iPhone and is never sent to us:

• Your wake-up schedule, streak, shields, mission results and history.
• The barcode or QR code you register for the Easy mission.
• The apps you lock. You choose them with Apple's own picker, and Apple gives Waike only private tokens. We can't see which apps you picked, and the tokens never leave your iPhone.
• Photos and camera frames. The sky check and code scanning run on the device. Photos and frames are never stored or uploaded.
• Step counts, read from Motion & Fitness only while you do the 30-step mission.

You can erase this data in the app (Settings › Privacy & data › Erase all data on this iPhone) or by deleting the app.

Anonymous usage statistics

To understand which parts of the app work and which don't, the app sends anonymous usage events to PostHog, hosted in the EU (Frankfurt, Germany). Examples: onboarding steps, paywall shown or closed, purchase started or completed, mission completed, morning result, emergency unlock used, app opened. Each event includes the app version, iOS version, device model and language.

Events use a random identifier that isn't linked to you. They never include your name, email, photos, codes or the apps you lock. IP addresses are anonymised. We keep this data only as long as we need it to improve the app, and no longer than 24 months.

Legal basis: our legitimate interest in improving Waike (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). You can turn it off at any time in Settings › Privacy & data › Share anonymous usage.

Subscriptions and purchases

Payments are handled by Apple. We never see your payment details. To check whether your subscription is active, we use RevenueCat (RevenueCat, Inc., USA). RevenueCat receives an anonymous app user ID, your purchase history (product, dates, price, currency and country) and basic device information.

Legal basis: providing the subscription you bought (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). RevenueCat may process data in the USA, protected by the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

Optional backup with Sign in with Apple

Waike never requires an account. If the app offers backup and you choose to sign in with Apple, we store your Apple account identifier, your email address (or Apple's private relay address), your streak, mission results (passed or failed, and when) and your schedule with Supabase in the EU (Frankfurt, Germany). Photos, camera frames and the apps you lock are never uploaded.

You can delete your account in the app at any time (Settings › Account › Delete account). The backup is erased right away; the data on your iPhone stays. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Alarms and notifications

Alarms and reminders are scheduled on your iPhone through Apple's AlarmKit and notification system. We don't keep a copy.

This website

• Hosting: this site is hosted by Vercel (Vercel Inc., USA). Its servers process your IP address and request details to deliver pages and protect against abuse, and keep these logs only briefly.
• Statistics: we use Vercel Web Analytics, which counts page views without cookies and without tracking you across sites.
• Cookies: the site sets one cookie, NEXT_LOCALE, only if you pick a language, to remember your choice. Nothing else.

No ads, no tracking, no selling

We don't show ads, don't track you across other apps or websites, and never sell or rent your data.

Age

Waike is for people aged 16 and older. We don't knowingly collect data from younger children.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you can ask for access to your data, correction, deletion, restriction, a portable copy, and you can object to processing based on legitimate interest. Most of your data exists only on your iPhone, where you control it directly. For anything else, write to support@waike.app. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.

Changes

If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top of this page. For important changes, we'll also let you know in the app.
