WakeBox Privacy Policy

This policy applies to the wake-up mission alarm rewards app WakeBox (package com.rewardfactory.wakebox, the "Service"). Effective: 2026-10-12

1. Information we collect

You can use the Service without creating an account. We collect and use the following.

TypeData
Alarm and wake-up records (collected automatically)The scheduled ring time of alarms that qualify for a box, the mission types and difficulty you chose, how you turned the alarm off (mission completed, woke up early, emergency off, missed), how long it took from ring to finishing your missions, snooze count, and whether you completed the wake-up check and morning routines
Alarm reliability records (collected automatically)Scheduled and actual ring time, plus your device manufacturer, model and Android version, so we can check that alarms ring on time
Collected automaticallyInstall identifier (an anonymous UUID generated on install), advertising identifier (AAID), device information (OS version, model), usage records (boxes opened, ads viewed, invites)
Collected automaticallyDevice language setting and time zone
Optional (when you sign in)Kakao account identifier, or Google account identifier, email and display name — only for the sign-in method you choose
When you request a payoutOnly what is needed to pay you. Outside Korea: your PayPal account email, or the mobile phone number to top up with airtime. Korea: account holder name, bank and account number

We do not collect national identification numbers or similar government identifiers. Alarm names, alarm sound choices and the barcodes you register are stored on your device only and are never sent to our server.

2. Permissions used for alarms and missions

At its core the Service is an alarm clock. We use the permissions below so that your alarm rings at the exact time, even over the lock screen.

PermissionWhy
Notifications (POST_NOTIFICATIONS)To show the ringing alarm and tell you about missed alarms
Exact alarms (USE_EXACT_ALARM or SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM)To ring at exactly the time you set
Full-screen notifications (USE_FULL_SCREEN_INTENT)To show the alarm screen over your lock screen
Foreground service (media playback)To play the alarm sound only while the alarm is ringing. The service stops when the ringing stops.
Receive boot completedTo schedule your alarms again after the device restarts
Camera (CAMERA)Requested only if you choose the barcode or photo mission. The barcode mission reads the barcode on your device; the photo mission compares on your device the spot you registered with the scene you capture now. Original photos are not stored (only comparison features and a small preview are kept on your device), and camera images are never sent to our server.
Display over other apps (SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW)Optional. Only if you grant it in Settings, it is used solely so that the alarm screen appears on time while you are using another app. We never draw windows or ads over other apps, and without it the alarm still rings as a notification.
Battery optimization exemption request (REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS)Used to show the system confirmation dialog when you tap it on the alarm check screen, so battery saving does not delay your alarms. You decide whether to allow it.
Physical activity (ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION)Requested only if you choose the steps mission. Steps are counted on your device only while the mission screen is open, and are never sent to our server.

2-1. Why wake-up records are sent to our server

2-2. About your device language and time zone

We check your device language and time zone to set where your day starts (local midnight) and to decide which payout options are available to you and at which rate.

3. Why we use your information

4. How long we keep it

We keep your information until the purpose is fulfilled or until you ask us to delete it, and for longer only where the law requires. Alarm reliability records (scheduled and actual ring times, device model) are deleted after 90 days. When you delete the app or ask for deletion, we promptly destroy the related identifiers and usage records. There is one exception.

Exception to prevent abuse — to stop people deleting their account and signing up again with the same account to collect invite rewards repeatedly, when you delete your account we replace your sign-in identifier with a one-way encrypted value that cannot be reversed. This value cannot identify you or restore your account or history; it is used only to check whether an invite reward has already been paid. It is created only for accounts that have received an invite reward; nothing is kept for anyone else.

5. Sharing and processors

To provide rewards and ads we share the minimum information needed (such as advertising and event identifiers) with the partners below. Your alarm and wake-up records are not shared with any of them.

6. Advertising identifier

Android: Settings > Google > Ads > Reset / Delete advertising ID

7. Your rights and data deletion

You can ask to access, correct or delete your personal information. You can delete it yourself in the app under Settings → Delete account; see account deletion for details.
