Dayside: World Clock
What stays on your devices
Your clocks, people, working hours, trips, reminders and widget designs are stored on your device. Dayside works fully offline: city search, time zone rules and public holidays are built into the app.
Optional features that use Apple services
These features are off until you use them, and they talk only to Apple, never to us:
- iCloud sync. If iCloud is on, your clocks sync through your private iCloud database. Apple stores it under your Apple Account; we can't see it. Apple Watch receives your clocks from your iPhone directly.
- Weather. If you turn weather on, the coordinates of the cities you've added are sent to Apple Weather to fetch conditions. They aren't linked to you.
- Map search. When a place isn't in the built-in list, what you type is sent to Apple Maps to find it.
- Siri and Shortcuts. Requests are handled by Apple under Apple's privacy policy.
Permissions
- Calendar (optional): read on your device to show when you're busy. Nothing is copied or uploaded. Events you choose to add are saved to your own calendar.
- Contacts (optional): used on your device to show a linked contact's photo.
- Notifications and alarms (optional): scheduled locally on your device.
Shared links
When you share a time, the meeting details are encoded in the part of the link after the "#". Browsers never send that part to a server, so the details are decoded on the recipient's device. The share page is served from dayside.world through Amazon CloudFront, which, like any web host, keeps standard request logs such as IP addresses and the page requested.
Dayside Alarm
What stays on your device
Your alarms, the days you skip or change, shift patterns and settings are stored on your iPhone or iPad. Alarms are scheduled on the device with Apple's alarm system. Public holidays are built into the app.
Permissions
- Alarms: scheduled locally on your device so they ring in Silent mode and through Focus.
- Calendar (optional, only for calendar alarms): the start times of your timed events are read on your device to work out when to ring. Titles, places and attendees aren't kept, and nothing is uploaded.
Purchases
The free trial and the one-time unlock are handled by the App Store. Apple processes the purchase; we receive no payment or personal details, only Apple's anonymous sales reports.
Dayside Flights
What stays on your device
Your flights, trips, the flights you've marked as not yours and your settings are stored on your iPhone. Airport coordinates, time zones, distances and totals are all worked out on the device, and the app shows your logbook with no connection at all.
iCloud sync
If iCloud is on, your logbook syncs through your own private iCloud database. Apple stores it under your Apple Account, where we can't see it. There is no account of ours, and nothing of your logbook reaches a server of ours.
Filling in a flight's details
When a flight is missing its aircraft or its scheduled times, the app can look them up through a small service of ours. It sends only the flight number and date, or an aircraft's registration — and, for older flights, the flight's airports and scheduled departure. It never sends anything about you, it asks once, and only the schedule and the aircraft come back. There is no live status, gate or delay, because the app doesn't deal in them.
Finding flights in your email
This is optional, off until you set it up, and only ever reads. You can connect a mailbox over IMAP — its app password is kept in the device Keychain, and the mailbox is only read, never written — or set up a forwarding address and forward confirmations to it. Mail sent to that address is sealed on arrival to a key that never leaves your phone: the forwarding service can't read it, keeps nothing it could read, and deletes each message once your phone has collected it. Nothing read from a message leaves your device, and the app works fully without ever connecting a mailbox.
Permissions
- Calendar (optional): the calendars you choose are read on your device to find the flights in them. Your upcoming flights can be written to a "Dayside Flights" calendar of the app's own. Titles of other events aren't kept, and nothing is uploaded.
Purchases
The one-time purchase is handled by the App Store. Apple processes it; we receive no payment or personal details, only Apple's anonymous sales reports. One purchase covers your Family Sharing group.
Crash reports
If you choose to share analytics with app developers in iOS Settings, Apple may give us anonymous crash reports and usage statistics. You control this in Settings › Privacy & Security › Analytics & Improvements.
Children
No Dayside app collects information from anyone, including children.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update this page and its effective date.
