This Privacy Policy describes the privacy practices of Zzz ("Zzz", "we", "us", or "our") and how we collect, use and disclose personal information about individuals who use our application and any related services (collectively, the "Services"). For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, "you" and "your" means you as the user of the Services.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using any of the Services, you agree to the collection, use, storage, processing, and disclosure of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, please do not use or access the Services.

1. Introduction
Zzz is a social alarm app that connects you with your friends. Here is how it works:
The Zzz app allows users to add friends via invite codes. Friends can record short audio clips (up to 25 seconds) which are stored and used as alarm tones for one another. When your alarm fires, a randomly selected friend's recorded audio plays. To stop the alarm, you must complete a physical mission (push-ups or squats) tracked by your device's camera using computer vision. After completing your mission, you are shown which friend's recording played.
To protect the safety and integrity of our users, we may employ content moderation practices where appropriate.
2. How We Collect and Use Your Personal Information
We collect information about you from a variety of sources, and the type of information we collect depends on how you interact with our Services. You have the responsibility to ensure that any personal information you provide to us is accurate and current.
Information You Provide to Us
Account information — When you use the Services, we collect the name you provide during onboarding. We use this to create your account and allow your friends to identify you within the app.
User-generated content — The Services allow you to record and upload audio clips that are sent to and played for your friends as alarm tones. We store these audio recordings in order to provide the core functionality of the Services.
Invite codes — We generate and store unique invite codes associated with your account so you can connect with friends.
Feedback or correspondence — If you contact us with questions, feedback, or support requests, we collect the information you provide in order to respond to you and improve the Services.

Device data — We may collect information about your mobile device, such as operating system type and version, device model, and unique device identifiers. We use this to provide the Services, troubleshoot issues, and keep the Services secure.
Camera data — When you use the exercise mission feature, your device's camera is used in real time to track body pose for rep counting. This camera data is processed entirely on-device and is not transmitted to or stored on our servers.
Information Collected From Other Sources
We may receive limited information from third-party service providers that help us operate the Services, such as cloud infrastructure, analytics, and authentication providers.
3. How We Disclose Your Personal Information
We may disclose your information to third parties for legitimate purposes subject to this Privacy Policy, including the following:
Service providers — We may disclose your personal information to third-party companies and individuals that provide services on our behalf or help us operate the Services, such as cloud hosting, database management, analytics, and customer support. These providers are only permitted to use your information as necessary to provide services to us.
Friends within the app — Your name and recorded audio clips are shared with the friends you connect with inside the app, as this is the core function of the Services. Your name is visible to friends you have mutually added.
Business transfers — We may transfer some or all of your personal information in connection with a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets. In such a case, we will make reasonable efforts to require the recipient to honor this Privacy Policy.
Legal compliance and safety — We may disclose your information as needed to comply with applicable law, cooperate with law enforcement or regulatory inquiries, enforce our Terms of Service, prevent fraud, and protect the safety of our users and the public.
4. How You Share Information With Others
By using the Services, you share your name and audio recordings with friends you mutually connect with inside the app. You are responsible for the content of the audio you record and send. Please do not record or send content that is illegal, harmful, harassing, or that violates the privacy of others.
5. Age
Our Services are intended for users who meet the minimum age required by the laws of their country or region. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals who do not meet the applicable minimum age requirement. If we learn that we have collected personal information from such an individual without the consent of a parent or guardian as required by law, we will delete it. If you believe we have collected information from an underage user, please contact us at info@zzzalarm.com.
6. Data Transfers
Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. These countries may not provide the same level of data protection as your home country. Where we transfer your personal information internationally, we will take reasonable steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.
7. Retention of Personal Information
We retain your personal information only for as long as is reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, in accordance with applicable laws, or until you request deletion. To determine the appropriate retention period, we consider the nature and sensitivity of the information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, and our legal obligations.
Audio recordings associated with your account may be deleted when you remove a friend connection or delete your account.
8. Security
We use reasonable organizational, technical, and administrative measures designed to protect against unauthorized access, misuse, loss, disclosure, alteration, and destruction of personal information. However, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed as completely secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
