Alarm & Clock Permissions
- SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM / USE_EXACT_ALARM: Allows the App to trigger alarms, timers, and reminders at precise times down to the second, even when the device is in sleep mode.

- FULL_SCREEN_INTENT / DISABLE_KEYGUARD: To bypass the lock screen and display the alarm interface for immediate user interaction.
- FOREGROUND_SERVICE (including Media Playback / Alarm types): Ensures alarms and active timer countdowns run reliably in the background without being killed by the Android operating system.

advertising partners to maintain services.
