Privacy Policy

Last updated: 29 September 2026

1. Controller

The person responsible for data processing on this website and in the awake apps (the "Controller") according to Art. 4 (7) GDPR is:

Alec Winter
Blumenau 89, 22089 Hamburg, Germany

2. This website

When you visit this website, the hosting provider (Vercel) automatically processes information that your browser transmits, to deliver the pages and keep the website stable and secure. This can include your IP address, browser type, operating system, referrer URL and the time of the request.

This website does not use cookies, analytics, tracking, a contact form, or any external fonts or scripts. All files are loaded from this website's own domain.

3. Purpose and legal basis

The processing described above is based on legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR): providing a functional, secure and stable website.

4. Hosting

This website is hosted by Vercel Inc. I have entered into a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with Vercel. Vercel may process data in the United States and other countries. Vercel states that it participates in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and uses other appropriate transfer mechanisms where required.

Server logs are retained according to the limits of the Vercel account plan and service configuration.

5. Downloads and source code on GitHub

Download links, install commands and source code links point to GitHub, operated by GitHub, Inc. When you follow them, GitHub processes your data under its own responsibility. See the GitHub General Privacy Statement.

6. The awake apps

• The awake tray app and CLI collect no telemetry and send no usage data to me.
• Settings and log files are stored locally on your device only.
• When you click Check for updates in the tray app, it downloads release information and, if you choose to install it, the update from GitHub Releases. GitHub receives your IP address and standard request data for this. No other data is sent.
• If you install via Homebrew or the install scripts, those services process your request under their own privacy policies.

7. Your rights

As a data subject, you have the following rights under the GDPR:

• Right to access (Art. 15): request information about your data stored by me.
• Right to rectification (Art. 16): correct inaccurate data.
• Right to erasure (Art. 17): request the deletion of your data.
• Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18).
• Right to object (Art. 21): object to processing based on legitimate interests.
• Right to lodge a complaint (Art. 77): complain to a supervisory authority, for example the Hamburg Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information.
