Roust and your data
Today, in version 1.0: nothing leaves your device
Roust 1.0 works entirely on your iPhone or iPad. It shows no ads, makes no ad request and sends nothing about you: Google's ad code is inside the app but switched off, and your alarms, your missions and your mornings never leave the device. Ads (Google AdMob) and the settings that steer them will come with a later version; this page will list them then.
When ads arrive, in a later version
Roust works on your iPhone or iPad. Your alarms, your missions and your mornings never leave it. Two things do: the ads, and the settings that decide which ads may show.
Ads
→ Google AdMob
- your device model, system version and language
- an identifier limited to this app's publisher — never your advertising identifier
- your IP address, from which Google estimates your general area
- which ads were shown and tapped, and crash and performance data from Google's ad code
Only on calm screens (Home and Settings) and once after you're up — never while the alarm rings, never during a mission. Where the law requires it (the EU, the UK, some US states), Google asks for your consent first; change your choice anytime in Settings › Privacy choices. After you buy “Remove ads”, Roust no longer loads Google's ad code at all.
Ad settings
→ Google Firebase
- a random installation identifier created by Firebase
- your country, language, time zone and system version
- the app's version
When Roust opens, at most once an hour, to read which ad placements are switched on. It carries nothing about your alarms or your mornings. Not after you buy “Remove ads”.
Remove ads
→ Apple
- the purchase, handled by the App Store
Only when you buy or restore. Apple handles the payment; we never see your card, your name or your Apple Account, and no server of ours sits in between.
Your alarms and mornings
→ This device only
- your alarms, your missions, your settings, and how fast you got up
Always on the device. Delete the app and they are gone.
What never happens
- No account. No name, no email, no password — nothing to sign up for.
- Roust never asks to track you, so Apple keeps your advertising identifier hidden from Roust and from Google.
- No ads while the alarm rings or during a mission.
- No location, contacts, camera or microphone. The only permission Roust asks for is to ring alarms.
- No analytics of our own: we never see what you do in the app.
What we keep
- Nothing. Roust has no server and no account; everything it keeps stays on your device.
- Google keeps ad data under its own privacy policy, linked on our website.
Google's policies
Ads are served by Google AdMob and the ad settings are read from Google Firebase. Google processes that data under its own terms: Google Privacy Policy and how Google uses information from apps that use its services.
Your choices
Where the law requires consent, change your ad choice anytime in Roust › Settings › Privacy choices. Buying “Remove ads” stops ads and Google's ad code entirely. Deleting the app deletes everything Roust kept on your iPhone or iPad.
Children
Roust is not directed at children under 13. Ads are limited to content suitable for all ages.
Changes
