Privacy Policy

Last Updated: August 12, 2025

Welcome to Halarmony, an application developed and owned by Neon Native LLC ("Neon Native," "we," "us," or "our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring a secure experience while you use our Halarmony alarm management application ("Halarmony" or "the App"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and safeguard your information, as well as your rights and choices regarding your data.

1. Information We Collect

  • Account Information: If you create an account within Halarmony (e.g., using email and password, or through a third-party provider like Google Sign-In), we collect information necessary for account creation and authentication, such as your email address and a securely hashed password.
  • Alarm Data: Information you provide when creating and managing alarms within Halarmony, including alarm times, labels, repeat settings, ringtone choices, and group associations.
  • Usage Data: We may collect anonymous or aggregated data about how you interact with the Halarmony app (e.g., features used, crash reports) to help us improve app performance and user experience. This data does not personally identify you.
  • Advertising Data: When you use the free version of Halarmony, we may collect advertising-related data through Google AdMob, including device identifiers, IP address, and ad interaction data to serve personalized advertisements. Premium users do not see advertisements.
  • Purchase Information: When you purchase premium features through Google Play Billing, we collect transaction data including purchase confirmation, product IDs, and subscription status to manage your premium account.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To provide and maintain Halarmony's features and services.
  • To authenticate users and secure access to the app.
  • To process premium subscriptions and manage billing.
  • To serve personalized advertisements to free users via Google AdMob.
  • To communicate important updates or support messages.
  • To analyze usage and improve our services and user experience.
  • To comply with legal obligations and protect our rights.

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with trusted third-party services only as necessary to operate Halarmony:

  • Google Firebase: For authentication, analytics, and cloud storage services.
  • Google AdMob: For serving advertisements to free users (premium users are exempt).
  • Google Play Services: For processing in-app purchases and managing premium subscriptions.

These third parties have their own privacy and security policies, and we encourage you to review them.

4. Data Security

The security of your personal information and alarm data within the Halarmony app is a top priority. We employ a variety of industry-standard security technologies and procedures to help protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. While no system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, we strive to maintain a high level of security for the Halarmony application.

  • Ongoing Security Measures: We regularly review and update our security practices, which may include vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, and internal security audits.
  • Security Incident Response: In the event of a security breach, we have an established incident response plan to promptly address the situation, mitigate potential harm, and notify affected users as required by applicable laws and regulations.
  • Data Encryption: When your data is sent between your device and our servers (if cloud features are used), it is encrypted using industry-standard protocols like HTTPS/TLS. Data stored on cloud servers is encrypted at rest.
  • Device Security: Alarm data stored solely on your device is protected by the Android operating system's built-in security features, including the application sandbox.
  • Limited Internal Access: Access to your data by Neon Native personnel is strictly controlled and limited to individuals who require it to provide support, maintain the application, or perform necessary business functions. All personnel are bound by confidentiality obligations.

5. Data Retention and Deletion

  • You can delete individual alarms and alarm groups within the Halarmony app.
  • If you delete your Halarmony account, we will take steps to delete your associated personal information and alarm data from our active systems in accordance with our data retention policies and applicable law. Some data may remain in secure backups for a limited period (typically up to 30 days) for disaster recovery purposes.
