Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 27, 2026

This policy explains how Jordan Evans ("we," "us") handles information in the Morning Launch app ("the App"). Using the App means you accept this policy.

The short version

• Your data lives on your device. There is no Morning Launch account and no server of ours that stores or syncs your personal data.
• We don't track you. There are no ads, and no analytics SDK watching how you use the App.
• The personal data the App uses to run its core features is your location. If you buy Premium, Apple and RevenueCat also handle your purchase history — see "A note on purchases".

What the App uses

Location

With your permission, the App uses your location (approximate and precise) to calculate commute times and arrival estimates. In our App Store privacy details this is declared as:

• Purpose: app functionality only.
• Not linked to your identity.
• Not used to track you across other apps or websites.

The permission prompt says exactly this: "Morning Launch uses your location to calculate commute times and arrival estimates." You can change or revoke location access whenever you like in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services.

Things you create, kept on your device

Alarms, morning plans, saved destinations, imported or recorded sounds, and your preferences are stored on your device using Apple's SwiftData and an app-group container. This stays on the device. We don't receive it, and it isn't synced to any server.

What we don't collect

We don't collect your name, email, contacts, photos, or browsing history, and we don't run user accounts or profiles.

Connecting other services

The App can connect to other services so you can search for and play media, see maps and weather, and sign in where a service needs it. When you use one of these, that service's own terms and privacy policy govern what it does with your information.

YouTube

The App uses YouTube API Services. By using the YouTube features you agree to the YouTube Terms of Service, and the Google Privacy Policy applies to information handled through the YouTube API.

• What's accessed: the search terms you type and the resulting video details — titles, thumbnails, video IDs — so you can pick a video to open at alarm time.
• If you sign in with Google: signing in is optional and only powers the "browse your own YouTube library" feature (your playlists). Google handles the sign-in and returns your account details to Google's SDK on your device so it can call the YouTube API on your behalf. We display your account name in Settings so you can see you're signed in. We don't store your Google name or email ourselves, and we don't send them to any server of ours.
• Revoking access: you can revoke the App's access to your Google data anytime at Google security settings, or sign out in the App.
• Questions: support@morninglaunch.app.

Spotify

If you connect Spotify, the App uses the Spotify Web API and Spotify's authentication so you can search for and choose tracks or playlists and open or control playback in Spotify. Spotify's terms and privacy policy govern this. You can disconnect Spotify anytime in the App's Settings or in your Spotify account.

Apple services

The App uses Apple frameworks that process data on-device or through Apple:

• MusicKit / Apple Music and Apple Podcasts — to search for and open content.
• MapKit / Apple Maps — to search destinations and show routes.
• WeatherKit — to show weather for your destination. Weather comes from Apple Weather, and the App shows the required attribution.

Apple's use of this information is covered by Apple's Privacy Policy.

A note on purchases

Morning Launch offers an optional paid upgrade ("Premium") as an in-app purchase — a subscription and a one-time lifetime option. Apple processes the payment through the App Store; we never see or store your card or payment details.

We use RevenueCat to manage purchases and unlock Premium. RevenueCat receives your purchase history (which products you bought, and their renewal or expiration status) and an anonymous identifier it generates for your install. Because the App has no account, this isn't tied to your name or email, and it isn't used to track you across other apps or for advertising. We also look at this purchase data in aggregate through RevenueCat — for example, how many people start a trial or subscribe — to understand how Premium is doing; that's our own product analytics, never advertising or cross-app tracking. RevenueCat handles this data under its own privacy policy, and Apple handles payment under Apple's. You can restore prior purchases and redeem offer codes from Settings. Our App Store privacy details and the App's privacy manifest reflect this purchase data.

How we use information

We use this information only to run the App: to work out your wake, leave, and arrival times, show maps and weather, and let you search for and open media. We don't use it for advertising or to build a profile of you.

How information is shared

We don't sell your personal data, and we don't share it for advertising or tracking. Information goes only to the services listed above, and only as much as a feature needs — for example, sending a search term to YouTube or Spotify when you search. We expect any such service to protect your data consistent with this policy and the law.

How your data is protected

Everything the App sends to a connected service — Google/YouTube, Spotify, Apple — travels over an encrypted connection (HTTPS/TLS). We use encryption to protect your information in transit.

If you sign in with Google, the tokens Google issues are kept in the iOS Keychain on your device, which is Apple's encrypted store for credentials. The App doesn't copy them anywhere else. The App has no servers, so your Google data, and any other sensitive data, is never stored, logged, or backed up on a server of ours.

You can revoke the App's access to your Google account at any time in Google security settings, which makes a token unusable wherever it is. Signing out in the App also removes the stored tokens from your device.

Morning Launch's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Keeping and deleting your data

Because your data is on your device, you're in control:

• Delete individual alarms, plans, destinations, or sounds in the App.
• Disconnect Google or Spotify in the App's Settings, or in that service's account settings.
• Deleting the App removes the data it stored on your device. Sign-in tokens are a separate case: they live in the iOS Keychain, which can outlive the App's removal, so sign out first, or revoke access at Google, to be certain they're gone.

Your privacy rights

EEA / UK (GDPR). Where it applies, you have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to processing of your personal data, and to data portability. Because the App keeps data on your device and runs no account, you exercise most of these rights directly on the device. Our legal basis for processing location is performing the App's core function at your request, together with your consent through the system permission.

California (CCPA/CPRA). We don't "sell" or "share" personal information as those terms are defined, and we don't use it for cross-context behavioral advertising. California residents have rights to know, delete, and not be treated differently for using those rights.

To make a request or ask a question, email support@morninglaunch.app.

Children

The App isn't directed to children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them. If you think a child has given us personal information, email support@morninglaunch.app.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll change the effective date above, and for material changes we'll add an in-app notice where it makes sense.
