Privacy Policy
Last updated May 4, 2026
Short version: Computer Wake Up does not collect, sell, or share your personal data. The app stores the computers you save on your device and can sync them through your iCloud account. We do not run a server full of your machines. That would be weird.
This policy explains what Computer Wake Up touches, what stays on your device, and what gets handed off to Apple when you choose to use iCloud sync.
1. What the app keeps
Computer Wake Up does not ask you to create an account, and it does not include advertising, analytics, or third-party tracking.
The app stores only the details you enter for the computers you want to wake, including:
- the name you give each computer
- its MAC address
- its local IP address or hostname
- optional notes, icon choices, and color choices
2. Where that data lives
Your saved computers live on your device. If you enable iCloud sync, they can also sync across your devices through Apple CloudKit using your own iCloud account.
- Apple handles that sync under its own privacy policy.
- We do not have direct access to your iCloud data.
- If you turn iCloud off, the data stays local to each device instead.
3. Local network access
The app uses local network access for exactly two reasons: to discover devices on your network and to send Wake-on-LAN magic packets to the machines you save.
That traffic stays on your local network. We do not receive a list of your devices, your IP addresses, or a log of what you woke up at 2:13 a.m.
4. Third-party services
Computer Wake Up does not include third-party analytics, ad networks, or crash tracking SDKs. The only outside service involved is Apple CloudKit, and only if you choose to use iCloud sync.
5. Children’s privacy
The app is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
6. Changes to this policy
If this policy changes in a material way, the updated version will appear here with a new date at the top.
