Privacy Policy
Pinwake for iPhone · Last updated October 24, 2026
The short version
Pinwake doesn't collect, store, or share any of your data on a server. There's no account, no analytics, no advertising, and no tracking. Your location and trips stay on your iPhone.
Your location
Pinwake uses your iPhone's location to show where you are and to sound the alarm before your stop. While a trip is running it keeps watching in the background, including while you use other apps or your phone is locked. Location is processed only on your iPhone and is never sent to us or to anyone else. When no trip is running, Pinwake doesn't track you in the background.
Motion
On train trips, Pinwake can use your iPhone's motion sensors to notice when the train stops at a station, so it can keep time underground. Motion data is processed on your iPhone as you ride and isn't saved or sent anywhere.
Maps and search
Maps, place search and driving times come from Apple Maps. When you search for a place or view the map, those requests go to Apple and are handled under Apple's Privacy Policy. Pinwake doesn't receive or keep them. Bus lines, stops and the rail map are built into the app, so looking at them sends nothing.
Your trips and favourites
Your trip history, favourite places and settings are saved only on your iPhone. You can delete trips in History, and everything is removed when you delete the app.
Live Activities and Siri
The Lock Screen and Dynamic Island show your trip using information already on your iPhone. If you use Siri or Shortcuts with Pinwake, Apple handles your requests under its own privacy policy.
Children
Pinwake doesn't collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13.
