GeoAlarm ("the app") is a location-based alarm that notifies you when you approach a place you selected on a map. This policy explains what data the app uses and how.
The app accesses your device's precise location (GPS), including in the background, for a single purpose: to measure the distance to the alarms you set and to alert you when you arrive. Background access is used only while at least one alarm is armed, so the alarm can trigger when the app is minimized or the screen is off.
Your location never leaves your device. It is not transmitted to us or to any third party, and it is not stored on any server. Distance calculations happen locally on the device.
Your alarms (name, coordinates, radius) and a local history of triggered alarms are saved in your device's local storage so they persist between launches. This data stays on your device and is removed when you delete it in the app or uninstall the app.
When you use the search box, the text you type is sent to the OpenStreetMap
Nominatim service (nominatim.openstreetmap.org) to find matching places.
Only your search query is sent — not your location. See the
OpenStreetMap Foundation privacy policy for details on that service.
The app uses local notifications to alert you when you arrive. Notifications are generated on your device; no push server is involved.
We do not collect, sell, or share any personal data. The app has no analytics, no advertising, and no user accounts.
The app is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from them.
We may update this policy; the "Last updated" date will change accordingly.

GeoAlarm stores your places on your device and uses location only to trigger the alarms you set. Nothing is uploaded.
