1. General Information

Hooclock was developed to run entirely without a server. This means we do not collect, store, or share any personal data. All settings and content remain solely on your device.

2. Data Processing in the App

The app processes the following data locally on your device only:

  • Wake-up times and sleep modes
  • Personalized settings (colors, sounds, backgrounds)
  • Custom soundscapes using nature sounds

This data is not transmitted to us or to any third party.

3. In-App Purchases via Google Play

Hooclock offers optional in-app purchases (e.g., additional sounds or features) through Google Play. These transactions are handled entirely by Google. In doing so, Google may process the following personal data:

  • Your Google account
  • Payment information
  • Purchase history

This data is processed solely by Google, not by us. For more information, please review the Google Privacy Policy.

4. No Ads, No Tracking, No Cookies

Hooclock does not use advertisements, tracking technologies, or cookies. Your experience is private by design.

5. Your Rights

Since we do not process personal data, most rights under the GDPR (e.g., access, deletion) do not apply to us. If you have questions about data collected by Google (e.g., related to purchases), please contact Google directly.
