Watchsmith

I take your privacy very seriously. I neither want nor need to know anything about your personal data. To that end I've designed Watchsmith from the ground up to ensure that your data stays completely private.

Watchsmith can optionally access a variety of your personal data for display within the app. This includes your health and activity data, your calendar data and your location data. All of this access is handled using the standard iOS/watchOS privacy prompts. If you give Watchsmith access to this data it will be read and displayed only within the app, with the following exceptions:

• A GPS coordinate (either provided by your search or current location) is necessarily sent along with any weather data requests. This goes to Apple Weather and is governed by their privacy policy.
• A GPS coordinate (either provided by your search or current location) is necessarily sent along with any tide data requests. This goes to WorldTides and is governed by their privacy policy.
• When viewing maps the general geographic area of the map is used to request the relevant map tiles. This does not include your specific location, however, it likely provides a general sense of where you are or at least the area in which you are interested. These requests are made to MapBox and their handling of your privacy is outlined in their privacy policy.
• When viewing radar maps the general geographic area of the map is used to request the relevant map tiles. This does not include your specific location, however, it likely provides a general sense of where you are or at least the area in which you are interested. These requests are made to RainViewer and their handling of your privacy is outlined in their privacy policy.

Other than these cases, no personal data ever leaves your devices. Unless you email me for support, I will have no information about you or what you do within the app.

I don't want the responsibility of managing your data correctly, so I don't collect it, which I think is better for both of us.

If you sign-up for a Watchsmith Premium subscription, additional non-personally identifiable data will be kept. Your billing information, address, and name are all maintained by the App Store and are not visible to me. I will simply get information about whether or not you have purchased a subscription, the term you signed up for and when it is due to expire. This is all made available to me in an anonymous fashion. This anonymous data is also shared with my purchase provider (RevenueCat).

(Now for the legal boilerplate part of the Privacy Policy. I always prefer to start with plain English before I get into that part of things.)

Personally-Identifying Information

Watchsmith does not gather or transmit any Personally-Identifying Information outside of your local device. It only stores preferences about the user interface within its local database.

Business Transfers

If Watchsmith, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that Watchsmith goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, this policy and its effects may change or be amended. (As Watchsmith does not collect any information about you there is very little effect this would likely have in practice.)

Privacy Policy Changes

Although most changes are likely to be minor, Watchsmith may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and at Watchsmith's sole discretion. Your continued use of this app after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.

Indemnity

You hereby indemnify us and undertake to keep us indemnified against any losses, damages, costs, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, legal expenses and any amounts paid by us to a third party in settlement of a claim or dispute on the advice of our legal advisers) incurred or suffered by us arising out of use of this app or any breach by you of any provision of these terms of use, or arising out of any claim that you have breached any provision of these terms of use.
