Charger Alarm Privacy Policy
Last updated: 6 November 2026
Charger Alarm ("the app") is an anti-theft alarm that rings when your charging phone is unplugged or moved. It is published by Fdaytalk. This page explains what the app does with data. In short: the app works on your phone, has no ads, no account and no tracking, and sends only a small amount of anonymous data to our server to run the free trial fairly.
Stays on your phone
- Your settings (alarm sound, battery alert level, charging screen options).
- A history of alarm and charging events, shown in the app's History screen.
- The dates of your free trial.
This data is never sent to us. Removing the app deletes it.
Sent to our server
When you open the app, it checks your free trial with our server. This is what we receive and store:
- A device identifier. A one-way hash created from your phone's Android ID. We cannot turn it back into the original ID, and it is not linked to your name, email or Google account.
- Phone make and model (for example "realme RMX3710").
- Approximate location. The country, worked out by our hosting provider from your internet connection's IP address. We do not store the IP address. The app does not use GPS and does not ask for location permission.
- Usage dates: when the app was first and last opened, and how many times it was installed on the same phone.
We use this only to keep the 7-day free trial fair (so uninstalling and reinstalling does not restart it), to prevent abuse, and to understand in which countries the app is used. We do not sell this data, share it with advertisers or use it for advertising. The server runs on Cloudflare, which processes it for us. The connection is encrypted (HTTPS).
What the app does not collect
- No name, email address, phone number or account.
- No GPS or precise location, contacts, photos, microphone or camera recordings.
- No advertising ID and no ads.
- No fingerprint or face data. To stop the alarm, the app asks Android to verify you with your phone's own screen lock. Android does this; the app never receives your biometric data or PIN.
Payments
The full version is a one-time purchase handled entirely by Google Play. We never see your card or payment details. Google tells the app only whether the purchase exists, so it can unlock. Google's own privacy policy applies to the purchase.
Permissions the app uses, and why
- Notifications and foreground service: to keep protection running and show its status.
- Full-screen alert: to show the alarm over the lock screen.
- Ignore battery optimisation: so Android does not stop the alarm while your phone is locked.
- Vibrate, wake lock, flashlight: to make the alarm loud and noticeable.
- Motion sensor: for the optional pocket alarm. Sensor readings are used on the phone only and are never stored or sent.
- Biometric / screen lock: to confirm it is you before the alarm stops.
- Start at boot: to restart protection after the phone restarts.
- Internet and network state: for the trial check and Google Play purchases.
Keeping and deleting data
Server records are kept while the app is in use. Your data is not tied to your name or email, so to have it deleted, follow the steps on our data deletion page: email us your phone model and the approximate date you installed the app, and we will remove the matching record. Uninstalling the app stops any further data being sent.
Children
The app is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Changes
If we change this policy, we will update the date above. Continued use of the app means you accept the updated policy.
