Privacy policy
The counting happens on your iPhone. Nothing the camera sees is uploaded.
This policy covers RepClock (“Clock”), the iPhone alarm app, and the pages under repvaultapp.com/clock. Clock is published by Matthew Alunni, an individual based in Ontario, Canada. “We” below means him.
The short version
- Clock has no account. It never asks for your name or email address.
- Your alarms, history, clips and taught movements are stored on your iPhone. We do not have a copy and cannot see them.
- Camera frames are analysed on the device to count reps. They are not sent anywhere.
- The only information that leaves your phone is what a subscription needs, and it goes to Apple and to RevenueCat, described below.
- Clock contains no analytics, advertising or tracking software.
Camera and microphone
Clock uses the camera to count your reps when an alarm rings, when you preview an alarm, and when you teach it a movement. Each frame is read on your iPhone by Apple’s Vision framework, which finds the position of your body. The frames and the body positions stay in the app and are not uploaded.
If “Record the reps” is on for an alarm, Clock also saves a video clip of you clearing it, with sound, which is why it asks for the microphone. You can turn recording off for any alarm.
What is stored on your iPhone
- Alarms and settings: times, days, movement, rep target, sound, and which camera you prefer.
- History: when each alarm rang, the reps you did, whether you snoozed, cleared or skipped it, your streak, and the vault rewards you have won.
- Clips: the recorded videos. Clock deletes a clip’s video file automatically 30 days after the alarm it belongs to; the History entry stays. A clip recorded during a preview is temporary and is deleted afterwards.
- Taught movements: when you teach Clock a movement, the video you record or choose is read on the device and then discarded. What Clock keeps is the name you gave it and a small numeric description of the motion, not the video.
All of this is deleted when you delete the app. If you back up your iPhone to iCloud or a computer, Apple includes Clock’s alarms and history in that backup under your own Apple Account. Clips are excluded from backups.
Photos and sharing
Clock cannot browse your photo library. When you choose a video to teach a movement, you pick it in Apple’s own picker and Clock receives only that one video. When you tap Save to Photos, iOS asks for permission to add to your library, and Clock uses it only to save that clip.
When you share a clip, it goes to the app or person you choose in the iOS share sheet. From there it is covered by that service’s privacy policy, not this one.
Purchases
Subscriptions are sold and billed by Apple through the App Store. We never see your card or billing details, and Apple does not tell us who you are.
To know whether a subscription is active, Clock uses RevenueCat, a subscription service that acts as our processor. Clock sends RevenueCat:
- a random identifier created on your phone the first time it is needed. It is not linked to your name, email address or Apple Account;
- your purchase records for Clock from the App Store: the product, the dates, and whether a trial or subscription is active;
- technical details that come with the request, such as the app version, iOS version, device model, region, IP address and the identifier Apple gives this developer’s apps on your device.
RevenueCat’s own policy is at revenuecat.com/privacy, and Apple’s is at apple.com/legal/privacy. Both companies may process this information outside Canada, including in the United States.
What we do not collect
- No name, email address, phone number or contacts.
- No location.
- No photos or videos. They stay on your phone unless you share them.
- No usage analytics, no advertising identifier, no tracking across apps.
If you have chosen to share analytics with app developers in your iPhone’s settings, Apple may show us anonymous crash and usage statistics. Clock adds nothing to them.
Email and this website
If you email us, we receive your address and whatever you write, and keep the message for as long as it takes to deal with it. This website sets no cookies and runs no analytics. It is hosted by Vercel, which, like any web host, logs requests, including IP addresses, to keep the service running.
How long things are kept
Everything on your phone lasts until you delete it or the app, apart from clips, which expire after 30 days as described above. Purchase records are kept by Apple and RevenueCat for as long as they are needed to provide the subscription and meet legal and accounting obligations.
Children
Clock is not intended for anyone under 16, and we do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has made a purchase, write to us and we will ask RevenueCat to delete the record.
Your choices and rights
You can revoke camera, microphone, Photos and alarm permissions at any time in iOS Settings; without the camera Clock cannot count reps. You can delete your data on the phone by deleting the app.
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what is held about you, to have it corrected or deleted, or to complain to your privacy regulator. The only record that exists off your phone is the purchase record above. To ask about it or have it deleted, email us.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new effective date. If a change means more information leaves your phone, this page will say so at the top.
