Privacy Policy

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.

Information We Do NOT Collect

AskWatch does not collect:

• Personal identification information
• Location data
• Advertising identifiers
• Your conversations with AI providers
• Your API keys or credentials

Anonymous Analytics

We use Firebase Analytics to collect anonymous usage data that helps us improve the app:

• App Events: Screen views, feature usage (e.g., voice input, templates, settings changes)
• Technical Data: App version, device model, operating system version
• Usage Patterns: Which AI providers are used (not the content of queries)

This data is anonymous and cannot be used to identify you personally. No conversation content, API keys, or personal information is ever transmitted.

Firebase Analytics is provided by Google. You can learn more about how Google uses data at Google's Privacy Policy.

Data Storage and Security

The following data is stored securely and never transmitted to us:

API Keys

• Your AI provider API keys are stored in Apple's iCloud Keychain with end-to-end encryption
• Keys sync securely between your iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch
• Keys are only transmitted to your chosen AI provider when making queries
• Never sent to our servers

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

Data Sent to Third-Party AI Providers

When you use AskWatch, the following data is transmitted to your selected AI provider:

• Text questions: Your typed or dictated queries
• Conversation context: Previous messages in the current conversation (the number depends on your context limit setting)
• System prompt: Your custom system prompt, if configured for the provider

This data is sent directly from your device to the provider's API servers using encrypted HTTPS connections. AskWatch does not intercept, store, or have access to these communications.

We support the following AI providers:

• OpenAI
• Anthropic
• Google AI
• Perplexity
• xAI
• Groq
• Mistral
• DeepSeek
• OpenRouter
• Cerebras
• Cohere
• Together AI
• SiliconFlow

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.

Voice Transcription (Speak & Voice Chat Modes)

When you use Speak AI or Voice Chat modes, your voice recordings are processed as follows:

• Audio data: Your voice recording is sent to Groq's Whisper API for speech-to-text transcription
• Secure proxy: Audio is transmitted through our Cloudflare Worker proxy, which forwards it to Groq without storing or logging the content
• No storage: Audio recordings are not stored after transcription is complete
• Own API key: If you configure your own Groq API key, audio is sent directly to Groq, bypassing our proxy entirely

The resulting text transcription is then sent to your selected AI provider as described above.

User Consent

Before using AskWatch, you are presented with a privacy consent screen that explains what data is shared and with whom. You must acknowledge this information before the app can be used. By accepting and using AskWatch, you consent to the data handling practices described in this policy.

Security Measures

We implement multiple layers of security:

• iCloud Keychain: API keys secured with Apple's end-to-end encrypted iCloud Keychain, synced across your devices
• 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

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.
