What happens at night stays on your phone.

Who we are

NightDial is made by Even So Pty Ltd (ABN 54 131 923 450), a company registered in Western Australia, Australia. In this policy, "we" and "us" mean Even So Pty Ltd, and "NightDial" means the iPhone app and this website.

What stays on your phone

NightDial keeps everything it needs in your iPhone's own storage. We never receive it, and it isn't uploaded or synced anywhere. This includes:

• your settings, such as your chosen face, brightness, time format and night red mode
• your alarms, including any names, colours and icons you give them
• your bin reminders
• the overnight report, a short log of what happened in the night (for example, the charger disconnecting) used to explain a missed alarm
• the latest forecast, kept so the alarm never has to wait for the internet

Deleting NightDial deletes all of this from your phone.

Your location

If you allow it, NightDial uses your approximate location while the app is open, for two things:

• Your morning forecast. Your location is sent to Apple Weather (WeatherKit), Apple's weather service, to get the forecast shown on the alarm screen. Apple's handling of it is covered by Apple's own privacy policy.
• Sunset and sunrise for the Night horizon face. These are worked out on your phone, and nothing is sent anywhere for this.

We never receive your location. NightDial works without it: you can say no, or change your mind at any time in Settings › Privacy & Security › Location Services. Without it, there's no forecast, and the Night horizon face uses 6 PM to 6 AM.

Other permissions

NightDial may ask for these, each for one purpose, all handled on your phone:

• Alarms (AlarmKit) and notifications, to ring your alarm.
• Focus status, to warn you if a Focus could silence your alarm. NightDial only sees whether a Focus is on, not which one.
• The torch, to turn the camera light on from the Nightlight. NightDial never takes photos or uses the camera.

NightDial also reads your battery level and charging state, the screen's orientation and brightness, and the phone's motion (for faces that sway when the phone is nudged). None of this is stored beyond what the app needs or sent anywhere.

Getting NightDial

NightDial is free to download from Apple's App Store. If we later offer an optional purchase in the app, Apple will handle it and its payment, and we won't receive your name, Apple Account or payment details. Apple shares sales figures with us without identifying you. If you choose to share crash reports or app analytics with developers in your iPhone's settings, Apple may pass us anonymous diagnostic information, which we use only to fix problems.

This website

This website doesn't use cookies, analytics or advertising trackers, and it doesn't ask for any personal information. Like any website, our hosting provider may keep short-term technical logs (such as IP addresses) to deliver the site and protect it from abuse.

If you contact us

If you email us, we'll use your email address and what you tell us only to reply and help you. We won't add you to a mailing list or share your details, and we delete support emails when they're no longer needed.

Children

NightDial doesn't collect personal information from anyone, including children.

Changes to this policy

If NightDial ever changes how it handles information, we'll update this page and the date at the top before the change takes effect. If a change means collecting something new, the app will ask you first.
