Privacy

Suntimes does not collect, store, or transmit personal user data. It contains no advertising, no analytics, no trackers, and no unnecessary permissions.

The app is configured using location data. This information (and other configuration data used by the app) is stored locally and does not leave the device.

Permissions

The app uses the following permissions..

Permission Since Version
ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION To get current location. v0.1.0
ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION To get current location (GPS). v0.1.0
BOOT_COMPLETED To restore active alarms after reboot. v0.11.0
POWER_OFF_ALARM To wake the device from the power off state. v0.14.0
READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE To play alarm sounds located on the SD card. v0.11.5, v0.13.8 (api<=18)
SET_ALARM To interact with the system AlarmClock app. v0.1.0
REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS To help ensure reliable delivery of alarms. v0.14.11
WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE To export data (places, themes, etc) to file. v0.2.2 (api<=18)

The app declares the suntimes.permission.READ_CALCULATOR permission and uses it to secure add-ons. The app uses this permission itself (since v0.13.2), and requires that add-ons request this permission during installation.


Version v0.13.8 removed the READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission for api≥19 (replaced with URI permissions).


Versions 0.9.* of the app contained the following permissions (removed in v0.10.0):

Permission Version
READ_CALENDAR To interact with the Calendar app (access events). v0.9.0
WRITE_CALENDAR To interact with the Calendar app (add/remove events). v0.9.0
READ_SYNC_STATS To interact with the Calendar app (access custom calendars). v0.9.0
WRITE_SYNC_SETTINGS To interact with the Calendar app (add/remove custom calendars). v0.9.0
