Privacy policy

Last updated: May 28, 2026

Flow operates this store and website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products and services, in order to provide you, the customer, with a curated shopping experience (the "Services"). Flow is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services to you. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and disclose your personal information when you visit, use, or make a purchase or other transaction using the Services or otherwise communicate with us. The "Services" include our online store and the Flow Alarm mobile app ("Flow Alarm: Wake Up"). If there is a conflict between our Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy, this Privacy Policy controls with respect to the collection, processing, and disclosure of your personal information.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using and accessing any of the Services, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy and understand the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as described in this Privacy Policy.

Personal Information We Collect or Process

When we use the term "personal information," we are referring to information that identifies or can reasonably be linked to you or another person. Personal information does not include information that is collected anonymously or that has been de-identified, so that it cannot identify or be reasonably linked to you. We may collect or process the following categories of personal information, including inferences drawn from this personal information, depending on how you interact with the Services, where you live, and as permitted or required by applicable law:

Contact details including your name, address, billing address, shipping address, phone number, and email address.
Financial information including credit card, debit card, and financial account numbers, payment card information, financial account information, transaction details, form of payment, payment confirmation and other payment details.
Account information including your username, password, security questions, preferences and settings.
Transaction information including the items you view, put in your cart, add to your wishlist, or purchase, return, exchange or cancel and your past transactions.
Communications with us including the information you include in communications with us, for example, when sending a customer support inquiry.
Device information including information about your device, browser, or network connection, your IP address, and other unique identifiers.
Usage information including information regarding your interaction with the Services, including how and when you interact with or navigate the Services.
Google Calendar data, if you choose to connect your Google Calendar account through our iOS app. Specifically, we access your list of calendars and upcoming calendar events using read-only permissions (Google OAuth scopes: calendar.readonly and calendar.events.readonly). This data is used solely to display a personalized daily briefing within the app after you dismiss an alarm. Google Calendar data is processed transiently and is never stored on our servers, sold, or shared with third parties.
App account information, if you create an account in the Flow Alarm mobile app. You sign in with Google, and we receive your name, email address, and a user identifier to create and synchronize your account.
Health and fitness data, if you use the sleep-tracking and step features of the Flow Alarm mobile app, including sleep sessions, sleep stages, and step counts. With your permission, this data may be read from and written to Android Health Connect, and is used to show your sleep history and personalize your wake-up experience.
Audio data, if you use sleep tracking in the Flow Alarm mobile app. The app records ambient sound through your device microphone only while a sleep session is active, in order to detect sleep stages and sounds. This audio is processed entirely on your device, is automatically deleted after analysis, and is never uploaded to our servers, sold, or shared.
Approximate location, if you enable weather features in the Flow Alarm mobile app, used only to show local weather. We do not use this location for advertising.
App activity for app blocking, if you enable the app-blocking feature in the Flow Alarm mobile app. The app detects which application is currently in the foreground (using Android's Accessibility Service and Usage Access) so that it can block distracting apps during your alarms and focus sessions. This information is processed on your device and is never collected, stored, or shared.

With business and marketing partners to provide marketing services and advertise to you. For example, we use Shopify to support personalized advertising with third-party services based on your online activity with different merchants and websites. Our business and marketing partners will use your information in accordance with their own privacy notices. Depending on where you reside, you may have a right to direct us not to share information about you to show you targeted advertisements and marketing based on your online activity with different merchants and websites. You can exercise your rights to opt-out of those uses here.

This data may be read from and written to Android Health Connect. You can revoke Health Connect permissions at any time in your device settings.

Approximate location. Used only to display local weather, and only if you enable weather features. It is not used for advertising.
App blocking and the Accessibility Service.

You can disable app blocking and revoke the Accessibility permission at any time in your device settings.
