Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 8, 2026

Introduction

AskWatch ("we", "our", or "the app") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our Apple Watch and iOS application.

Key Point: AskWatch is designed with privacy first. We do not collect, store, or transmit any of your personal data to our servers. All your data stays on your device.

Information We Do NOT Collect

AskWatch does not collect:

  • Personal identification information
  • Usage analytics or statistics
  • Location data
  • Device identifiers
  • Advertising identifiers
  • Your conversations with AI providers

Data Stored Locally on Your Device

The following data is stored exclusively on your device and never transmitted to us:

API Keys

  • Your AI provider API keys are stored in Apple's Keychain
  • Keychain provides hardware-level encryption
  • Keys never leave your device except when communicating directly with your chosen AI provider

Conversation History

  • Your chat history is stored locally with AES-256 encryption
  • History is only accessible with Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode (if enabled)
  • You can delete your history at any time within the app

Settings and Preferences

  • Your app preferences (selected provider, model, voice settings) are stored locally
  • Synced between your iPhone and Apple Watch via Apple's secure WatchConnectivity framework

Third-Party AI Providers

When you send a query through AskWatch, your message is transmitted directly from your device to your selected AI provider. We support:

  • OpenAI
  • Anthropic
  • Google AI
  • Perplexity
  • xAI
  • Groq
  • Mistral
  • DeepSeek
  • OpenRouter

Important: Each AI provider has their own privacy policy and terms of service. By using their services through AskWatch, you agree to their respective policies. We encourage you to review:

  • Your provider's data retention policies
  • How they handle conversation data
  • Their API terms of service

AskWatch acts only as a client interface—we have no access to the communications between you and the AI providers.

Security Measures

We implement multiple layers of security:

  • Keychain Storage: API keys secured with Apple's hardware-backed Keychain
  • AES-256 Encryption: Conversation history encrypted at rest
  • Biometric Protection: Optional Face ID/Touch ID lock for app access
  • Session Timeout: Automatic lock after period of inactivity
  • HTTPS Only: All API communications use encrypted connections
  • No Cloud Sync: Your data is not synced to any cloud service

Children's Privacy

AskWatch is rated 4+ on the App Store. However, use of AI services may be subject to age restrictions imposed by individual AI providers. Parents should review the terms of service of any AI provider before allowing children to use the app.

Data Deletion

You have full control over your data:

  • Delete conversation history: Settings → Clear History
  • Remove API keys: Settings → Providers → Delete
  • Uninstall the app to remove all local data

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
