Privacy
Wearclock stores your timer, schedule, log, and photos only on your phone. There is no account, no server, and no analytics. Nothing about how you use the app is ever collected or sent anywhere. The only network call the app makes is the purchase screen, handled by Google Play, Apple, or RevenueCat.
Deleting your data
Because Wearclock keeps your timer, schedule, log, settings and photos only on your phone, deleting the app deletes them. There is no account to close and no copy of them held anywhere else. The steps:
- On Android. To erase everything without uninstalling, open Settings → Apps → Wearclock → Storage → Clear storage. Uninstalling Wearclock does the same thing.
- On iPhone. Delete the app from the Home Screen or from Settings → General → iPhone Storage → Wearclock. That removes its entire container, log and progress photos included.
- Your backup file. An export is an ordinary file in whatever place you chose to save it. It is yours, and you delete it the way you delete any other file.
- Your Pro purchase record. This is the only thing that is not on your phone. It is held by RevenueCat so a purchase can be restored. To have it deleted, email [email protected] and say you want your purchase record deleted. You do not need an account number and there is nothing to fill in. Deleting it means a past purchase can no longer be restored on a new phone.
One thing no developer can delete for you: Apple and Google keep their own record of any transaction, because tax and refund law requires it. That record sits with them, not with us, and it is reachable through your Apple or Google account.
What data does Wearclock collect?
None. Everything you enter (when trays are out, your tray schedule, your settings, your log, your progress photos) is stored only in a local database on your own phone. Wearclock has no account system, no sign-in, and no server to send any of it to. There are no analytics and no crash-reporting SDKs collecting usage data in the background, and there are no ads, so there is no ad network to share anything with either.
What about the purchase screen?
The only time Wearclock talks to the internet at all is the Pro purchase screen. That screen is handled by Google Play or Apple's App Store, and purchases are processed through RevenueCat. Read RevenueCat's privacy policy for what that step involves. Wearclock itself never sees your payment details.
Does my phone's own backup include Wearclock?
No, on either platform. Wearclock opts out of Android's automatic backup, so your log and your progress photos are never copied to Google. On iPhone it asks iOS to keep its documents out of your iCloud backup, and re-marks them every time you open the app, so they are not copied there either. The consequence is worth being clear about: nothing carries to a new phone on its own. The deliberate way to move your history is the backup file you export yourself.
What happens to my backup file?
Backup exports your Wearclock data to a single file that you choose where to save: your phone's storage, a cloud drive you control, wherever you like. Wearclock never uploads it anywhere itself. Restoring reads that same file back in, which is how you move your history to a new phone.
Frequently asked questions
- What data does Wearclock collect?
- None. Your timer, tray schedule, log, settings, and photos are stored only on your phone, in a local database Wearclock never transmits anywhere. There is no account to create and nothing to sign in with.
- What about the purchase screen?
- The one network call Wearclock makes is the Pro purchase screen, handled by Google Play or Apple and processed by RevenueCat. See RevenueCat’s own privacy policy for what that step involves.
- Does my phone's own backup include Wearclock?
- No, on either platform. Wearclock is excluded from Android's automatic backup, and on iPhone it asks iOS to keep its documents out of your iCloud backup. It re-marks them every time you open the app. So your log and progress photos are not copied to Google or to iCloud. Nothing carries to a new phone on its own: the way to move your history is the backup file you export yourself.
- What happens to my backup file?
- Backup is a single file you export yourself, to wherever you choose. It is never uploaded to us or anyone else. Restoring reads that same file back in on whichever phone you put it on.
- How do I delete my Wearclock data?
- Almost all of it is already only on your phone, so deleting the app deletes it. On Android you can also clear it without uninstalling: Settings → Apps → Wearclock → Storage → Clear storage. On iPhone, deleting the app removes its whole container. Your exported backup file is yours and is deleted the way you delete any other file. The one thing that is not on your phone is the record of a Pro purchase, held by RevenueCat: email [email protected] from any address and say you want your purchase record deleted, and we will delete it. Apple and Google keep their own record of the transaction for tax and refund law, which no developer can delete.
