We take the protection of your personal data seriously. This privacy policy explains how the Gallus application collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you use it. It applies to all Gallus users, regardless of where you reside.
In short: Gallus runs entirely on your device. We have no backend server, no user account, and we collect no personal data. No advertising tracking.
The data controller is Gallus, based in France. Contact: contact@gallus-app.com
Gallus uses no backend server and provides no user account system. No personal data is transmitted to our servers (because we don't have any).
The application stores the following data only on your device, in the application's private sandbox:
| Data | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Your alarms (time, days, label, sound) | Schedule alarm triggers |
| Your custom engagement phrases | Voice challenge to dismiss the alarm |
| Motivation photo (if you add one) | Personalized display during the challenge |
| Favorite quote (if you set one) | Personalized display during the challenge |
| Preferences (theme, language, vibration) | App personalization |
| Subscription state (RevenueCat local cache) | Verify access to features |
This data stays on your device. It is removed when you uninstall the application.
| Permission | Purpose | Required? |
|---|---|---|
| Microphone | Voice recognition for the challenge (speak the phrase to dismiss) | Yes (otherwise keyboard fallback) |
| Speech recognition | Verify that you correctly pronounce the phrase | Yes (otherwise keyboard fallback) |
| Notifications | Trigger alarms and chained reminders | Yes |
| Alarms (AlarmKit, iOS 26+) | Allow alarms to ring even in silent mode or Do Not Disturb | Yes (iOS only) |
| Photo library | Pick a motivation photo | No, optional |
The voice challenge relies on the operating system's speech recognition:
Gallus does not record your voice, does not store transcriptions, and does not send any audio to its own servers (we have none). Only the text result returned by the system is locally compared to your engagement phrase, then immediately removed from memory.

Access to Gallus is gated by a paid subscription (monthly or yearly with a free trial). Payments are handled by the app stores, not by Gallus:
RevenueCat's policy: revenuecat.com/privacy
Gallus shows no ads and performs no cross-app tracking. The app's PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy file formally declares to Apple: NSPrivacyTracking = false and an empty NSPrivacyCollectedDataTypes.
The advertising identifier (IDFA on iOS, AAID on Android) is never read or used.
We share no personal data with third parties for commercial or advertising purposes. The only technical third parties involved are:
We never sell your data.
All your data is retained locally as long as the application is installed. To erase everything, uninstall Gallus: iOS and Android automatically wipe the app's private storage.
Purchase history is kept by Apple or Google according to their respective policies, independently of Gallus.
Since we collect no data on the server side, most GDPR rights are exercised directly within the app:
| Right | How to exercise |
|---|---|
| Access | All your data is visible inside the application itself. |
| Rectification | Edit alarms, phrases, and preferences directly in the app. |
| Erasure | Uninstall the app: the OS wipes all local data. |
| Portability | Not applicable: no data is held by Gallus outside your device. |
| Objection / consent withdrawal | Revoke permissions (microphone, notifications) in system Settings. |
For any further question, contact contact@gallus-app.com. Response time: 30 days.
Notifications are essential to Gallus: they trigger alarms and maintain the chained-alarm mechanism (which keeps reminding you until you complete the challenge). Disabling notifications means alarms cannot be reliably triggered.
Gallus is intended for users aged 13 or older, in line with app store terms. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If you believe a minor has provided information, contact us at contact@gallus-app.com.
As we store no data on a server, no international data transfer occurs through Gallus. Any transfers performed by Apple, Google, or RevenueCat as part of their own services are governed by their respective policies (EU Standard Contractual Clauses, EU-US Data Privacy Framework).
