Privacy Policy - GetUp Alarm

Effective date: 14/12/25

GetUp Alarm (“we”, “us”, “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information the GetUp Alarm iOS app (the “App”) handles and how.

Summary

We do not create accounts.
We do not collect or sell personal data.
We do not use advertising, analytics SDKs, or tracking.
Your alarm settings and brick pairing are stored only on your device.
NFC is used only to pair and use your GetUp Brick locally.

Information We Collect

Information you provide

We do not ask you to create an account and we do not collect personal information such as your name, email address, or phone number inside the App.

Information collected automatically

The App does not collect analytics data, does not include third-party analytics SDKs, and does not collect device identifiers for tracking.

Apple may provide us with aggregated App Store performance information (e.g., downloads, crashes, and usage statistics) through App Store Connect. This information is provided by Apple and is not used to identify you.

How the App Uses Data (On-Device Only)

The App stores certain information locally on your device to function, such as:

Alarm configuration (time, repeat days, sound selection, etc.)
Your local pairing state with your GetUp Brick (so the App knows which NFC tag is your brick)

This information stays on your device unless you choose to remove the App (which may delete this data depending on iOS settings and backups).

NFC (Near Field Communication)

The App uses NFC to read your GetUp Brick so you can silence your alarm by tapping your phone to the brick.

NFC reading is used only for the App’s core functionality
We do not send NFC data to our servers
We do not share NFC data with third parties

Notifications

The App uses iOS notifications to alert you when alarms go off. Notification permissions are controlled by you in iOS Settings.

We do not access the content of your notifications outside of scheduling and presenting alarm alerts.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share personal information with third parties.

We do not use third-party advertising, analytics, or tracking services in the App.

Data Retention

Because we do not collect data to our servers, we do not retain personal information on our systems.

Any alarm settings and brick pairing information remain on your device until you change them or remove the App.

Your Choices

You can:

Disable notifications in iOS Settings (this may prevent alarms from functioning as intended)
Remove the App to stop all App functionality and remove on-device App data (subject to iOS behavior and backups)

Children’s Privacy

GetUp Alarm is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will update the “Effective date” at the top of this page.

Frequently asked questions

GetUp is a physical “brick” + app that forces you out of bed.

You set your alarm in the GetUp app.
You place your GetUp brick somewhere away from your bed.
When the alarm goes off, the only way to turn it off is by physically getting up and tapping your phone on the brick (via NFC).

No endless snoozing, no lying there half-awake scrolling – you have to move, and once you’re up, you stay up.

Right now, GetUp is iOS only.

Works with iPhone models that support NFC (iPhone 8 or newer)
Requires iOS 16+

We’re already planning an Android version. If you're on Android and want in, you can join the waitlist and we’ll email you as soon as it’s ready.

GetUp is literally built for heavy sleepers.

Because you have to physically get out of bed and go to your brick, it breaks that half-asleep “just 5 more minutes” loop. You can also:

Put the brick somewhere that forces more movement (like outside your bedroom or by the bathroom sink).
Use your usual system of backup alarms alongside GetUp if you want a belt-and-braces setup.

It’s not magic, but it does add the friction you’ve been missing.

Technically, nothing can stop you if you’re truly determined to sabotage yourself.

GetUp works by changing the default: instead of a giant snooze button in your hand, you now have a system that makes getting up the easiest option:

Your alarm won’t stop until you scan your brick.
Your brick is away from your bed, so lying there scrolling becomes the “harder” choice.
You’ve made a small commitment to future-you when you set the alarm and placed the brick.

If you really go as far as powering your phone off / deleting the app, that’s no longer an alarm problem – that’s a “you vs you” problem. We’re here to help you win that battle, not dodge it.

Short answer: far enough away that you have to properly get up.

Great spots:

On your bedroom door or just outside your room
By your bathroom sink or mirror
In the kitchen next to your kettle / coffee machine
On your desk where you plan to start your day

We’re a small operation, so every GetUp brick is prepared with a lot of care.

Handling time: orders ship within2–4 working days

UK delivery: usually 1-2 working days after dispatch (Royal Mail 48)

You’ll get an email as soon as your brick ships, and tracking details if they’re available.

I want GetUp to genuinely help you wake up better – not become another gadget in a drawer.

If you use GetUp for 30 days and it doesn’t help your mornings, email me and I’ll refund you.

If your brick arrives damaged or there’s a problem with the NFC or magnet, I’ll repair or replace it at no cost to you.

Just reply to your order email or message me via the contact page and I’ll get it sorted.
