Privacy policy

Watch Winder does not collect, store or share any personal data. Everything you enter stays on your own devices and, if you use iCloud sync, in your own iCloud account.

The app

  • Your watches, photos and history are stored on your iPhone or iPad, inside the app's own storage. They are never uploaded to us or anyone else.
  • iCloud sync. If you are signed in to iCloud, the app keeps your watches, photos, history and settings in step across your iPhone and iPad by storing them in your private iCloud database, run by Apple under Apple's privacy policy. Only your own devices can read it; we have no access to it. You can turn sync off in the app's Settings, and remove the stored data in iCloud settings under Manage Storage.
  • Apple Watch. Your iPhone sends watch details and small photo thumbnails directly to your paired Apple Watch using Apple's WatchConnectivity. This data doesn't pass through our servers; we don't have any.
  • Reminders are scheduled locally with iOS notifications. No push notification service is involved.
  • Camera and photos. The app asks for camera access only when you choose to photograph a watch. Photos you pick or take are stored with that watch on your device.
  • Siri and Shortcuts requests are handled by Apple under Apple's privacy policy. The app only receives the action, such as marking a watch as wound.
  • No analytics, advertising or tracking SDKs are included. We do not know who uses the app or how.
  • Purchases are processed by Apple. We never see your payment details.

Your data is included in your normal iCloud or computer backup of your device, under Apple's terms. Deleting the app deletes its data from that device; a copy synced to your iCloud stays there until you remove it.

Beta sign-up
