For the purposes of the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation, I12Y LTD is the data controller for any personal data processed by the app.

TARS is built so that we know as little about you as possible.
To write and voice a TARS+ briefing we send to our server: the current date, the titles and times of today's (or, for the evening debrief, tomorrow's) calendar events and reminders (if you enabled those sources), the single line of weather your phone has already composed (if you enabled weather — the coordinate itself never leaves your device), the voice and the order of sections you selected, the note you attached to that alarm (if you wrote one), your agent's name and the form of address you chose — including your first name if you chose "By my name". Legal basis: performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) — this is the service you subscribed to.
So that your morning briefing is ready the moment you ask for it, the app sends this same material once in the evening, together with the time of your next alarm, and our server composes and voices the briefing shortly before that alarm rings. The evening copy is deleted within 24 hours and the briefing itself is cleared the next day. Your coordinate is still never sent — only the single line of weather your phone composed. Free briefings send nothing at all: they are written and spoken entirely on your device.
Payments are processed by Apple. We never see your payment details. Our subscription infrastructure (RevenueCat) receives an anonymous, app-generated identifier and your subscription status so the app knows whether TARS+ is active. This identifier is not linked to your name, email, or any other identity — we do not have those.
If you enable weather, your iPhone requests the forecast directly from Apple Weather using the rounded coordinate. The request goes from your device to Apple and does not pass through our servers; we never receive the coordinate. Weather data is provided by Apple Weather — the underlying data sources are listed at Apple's data source attribution page.
TARS uses local notifications only — they are scheduled and shown by your iPhone, not sent from our servers, and we do not use a push service. There are three of them: the optional evening reminder about tomorrow's alarm; with TARS+, the wake-up check that asks whether you are really up and rings again if you do not answer; and a note left on your lock screen when the alarm was switched off with a button, so you know that it rang. Their text is composed on your device; nothing about them leaves your phone. You can turn the first two off in the app, or all notifications off in iOS Settings.
To understand whether TARS works — whether people finish setup, whether the alarm leads to a briefing, where the app fails — we send anonymous usage events to Amplitude, our analytics provider: app opens, setup steps viewed, alarm set or not (and whether alarm permission was granted), briefing started and finished, paywall shown and purchase outcome, plus device model, OS and app version, language and country. Events carry a random identifier generated by the app on your device — not the advertising identifier, not the vendor identifier, not your name or email. Event data never includes calendar entries, reminder text, your location, or the content of your briefing. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in improving the app (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). You can stop analytics at any time in Settings → About → Anonymous analytics; the identifier is reset when you reinstall the app.
If the app crashes or hits an unexpected error, it sends a crash report so we can find and fix the cause. A report contains technical details only: the app version, the device model and iOS version, and the state of the app's code at the moment of the error. It contains no name, email, location, IP address, calendar entries, reminder text, or the content of your briefing, and it is not linked to you. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in keeping the alarm reliable (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The same switch, Settings → About → Anonymous analytics, turns crash reports off.
No email, no contacts, no photos, no health data, no precise location or location history, no advertising identifier, no cross-app or cross-site tracking. The app contains no advertising or tracking frameworks and shares nothing with data brokers.
We do not sell, rent, or share your data with anyone else. We add nothing to this list without updating this policy.
Our servers and the providers above may process data in the United States and the European Union. Transfers are covered by standard contractual clauses or equivalent safeguards provided by each processor.
Under GDPR and similar laws you have the right to access, rectify, delete, and port your data, to object to processing, and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. In practice: almost everything lives on your device, where you already have full control — deleting the app deletes it. For anything server-side or analytics-related, contact support@tarsalarm.space and we will resolve it within 30 days.
Your briefing text is composed by an AI model from the inputs described above. It produces a spoken summary of your day; it makes no decisions about you and has no legal or similar effect on you.
TARS is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly process children's data.
Server communication is encrypted in transit (TLS). API keys never ship inside the app. Server-side data is minimised by design and short-lived (see 7).
If we change this policy, we will update the date above and, for material changes, note it in the app's release notes. Continued use after a change means acceptance.
This policy is governed by the laws of the Republic of Cyprus.
