1. Who is responsible
AudoWatch is independently developed and operated by hezhuang, located in China. Contact address: Chaoyang District, Beijing, China. Privacy and support enquiries: hezhuangjs@gmail.com.
Intended distribution regions: Worldwide, subject to actual App Store availability.
2. Recordings, transcripts and local reviews
Recording begins when you choose to start it on Apple Watch. Audio, timestamps, markers and transfer status are used to record and transfer files to your paired iPhone. The iPhone stores recordings and transcripts locally, supports playback and text search, and uses bundled on-device models for transcription and daily reviews. These local operations do not send your audio or transcript to the developer’s server.
Saved reviews, AI notes, conversation context and user-managed memories may contain personal information from your recordings or entries. They are handled locally unless you explicitly include eligible text in an external AI request. AudoWatch does not require an AudoWatch account or provide its own cloud archive or automatic iPhone–iPad archive sync.
3. Optional HealthKit access
After you choose to connect Health or enable trends and grant relevant permissions, AudoWatch reads available steps, walking/running distance, active energy, exercise time, flights climbed, stand time, heart rate, resting heart rate, heart-rate variability, blood oxygen, respiratory rate, sleep and workouts. Availability depends on your device, permissions and existing samples.
Health charts, reports and experimental stress trends are calculated on your device. Health values and reports are currently kept in memory rather than stored in AudoWatch’s recording archive. Connection and trend preferences are saved locally. The app does not write data to HealthKit, upload these values to the developer or include them in its external AI request structure. Health data is not used for advertising, marketing or profiling for those purposes.
Health data is sensitive. Optional access supports your chosen health overview and personal reflection; access is not required for recording features. You can change permissions in Apple Health or system settings. Missing samples do not establish that permission was refused. Revoking access does not delete the original records held in Apple Health.
4. Optional location trails and Apple Maps
When you start a trail and grant location permission, the app saves coordinates, sample times, accuracy and reduced-accuracy indicators locally. An enabled trail may continue in the background and resume on a later launch while permission remains valid. Choose Stop to end sampling; leaving the page does not stop it. Stopping or revoking permission preserves existing samples.
Maps and nearby-address lookups use Apple services. Displaying a map or requesting an address may send location-related information, including coordinates for the visible record, to Apple over a network connection. Apple’s own privacy terms govern its service processing. Route lines connect saved samples in time order; gaps, approximate locations and missing samples mean they are not a complete road route or navigation record. Location history is sensitive and is not included in the app’s external AI request structure.
5. Optional external AI and credentials
External AI Chat is separate from the built-in local review. You supply an HTTPS service endpoint, a model and your own API key. Before each send you can inspect and confirm the outgoing content. Depending on your selection, this includes selected transcript text and associated times, your question, response language, recent conversation and enabled memory. The current request structure does not attach audio files, HealthKit values or location coordinates. Text you choose can itself reveal sensitive information.
Requests go directly to your configured endpoint. Your API key is sent to that endpoint for authentication. The key is stored in the device Keychain with device-only, unlocked-device access; endpoint and model settings are stored locally. Use the AI settings control to forget the configuration and key. Keep your key private and choose a provider you trust.
The provider may receive your IP address and request metadata, charge you, and retain or otherwise use submitted content under its own terms and applicable law. Providers and processing countries depend on your configuration. Review them before sending, especially for international transfers. AudoWatch cannot recall an already sent request or promise that a provider will not retain content or use it for training. Do not send other people’s or sensitive data without a lawful basis and any required consent.
6. Permissions, identifiers and tracking
Microphone permission enables Watch recording; Health permission enables optional read-only health features; location permission enables trails. You can refuse or revoke optional permissions, which limits the related feature. Granting a system permission is not consent to every possible use of the data.
The current app does not integrate advertising or third-party analytics tracking SDKs and does not use an advertising identifier. Apple may separately process App Store, device or diagnostic information under your Apple settings and its policies. This policy does not control that processing.
7. This website and support enquiries
These static information pages do not include analytics scripts, cookies, third-party fonts or a contact form. The hosting infrastructure may nevertheless handle IP addresses and ordinary request information needed to deliver and secure a page. Host: Vercel.
If you email hezhuangjs@gmail.com, we receive your email address, message and any details or attachments you choose to send, and use them to answer and resolve your enquiry. Mail delivery providers also process the correspondence. Do not send API keys, passwords, complete recordings, precise trails or unredacted health screenshots when a minimal description is enough.
8. Purposes and legal bases
We process information to provide the functions you request, manage optional permissions and confirmed AI requests, respond to support and privacy enquiries, and keep the information website secure. We do not sell personal information or use health or trail information for advertising.
Where consent is required for optional or sensitive processing, including separate or explicit consent under applicable law, that consent must be obtained before the relevant processing. You may withdraw consent for future processing without affecting earlier lawful processing. A system permission alone does not replace any additional legally required explanation or consent.
9. Recipients and international processing
Data may be handled by your paired Apple devices, Apple’s platform and map services, the AI endpoint you choose, and email or website hosting providers as described above. The developer does not receive the contents of your local archive merely because you use the app. We may disclose information actually held by us where legally required or necessary to protect lawful rights, subject to applicable safeguards.
AI destinations depend on your selected provider and must be reviewed separately. We do not represent that choosing a language determines where information is stored or which law applies.
10. Storage, retention and security
Local recordings, transcripts, saved notes, memories and trails remain until removed by an available control or by removing the relevant local app data. There is no single automatic retention period for all of them. Raw audio, AI storage and location storage are configured to be excluded from system backup; this is not a promise that every database, preference, device copy or system backup is excluded.
We use operating-system file protection and Keychain controls where implemented. No storage or transmission method is completely secure. Protect your devices and Apple account. Local-only files can be lost if an app or device is removed or fails, and AudoWatch does not provide a guaranteed cloud recovery service. Third-party retention is governed separately by that party’s terms and law.
11. Your controls and deletion limits
- Manage microphone, Health and location permissions in the relevant Apple settings. Stop trails to prevent further sampling. Disabling access does not erase already saved material.
- Delete saved AI notes and user-managed memories using their separate controls. Disabling memory does not delete it; deleting a memory does not remove separately saved notes or previously sent requests.
- Use AI settings to forget your API configuration and key before removing the app. Uninstalling is not a guarantee that Keychain items, a paired device’s files, Apple Health records, backups or provider-held data are deleted.
- The current interface has no per-recording or per-trail deletion control, one-step complete erase control, or general archive export. Contact us for guidance on removing local app data. We cannot remotely access or delete an archive that exists only on your device. Do not remove the app as a troubleshooting step unless you accept the potential loss of local material.
12. Privacy rights and contact
Depending on applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, an explanation, or object to processing, withdraw consent, and complain to a competent data-protection authority. Send requests to hezhuangjs@gmail.com. We respond within applicable legal time limits and request only proportionate information needed to verify and handle a request. Rights and exceptions depend on the law; local-only data and third-party-held data may require action on your device or with that party.
There are no automated decisions by the developer based on these features that produce legal or similarly significant effects. AI text and experimental health trends are assistance for personal reflection, not eligibility, employment, insurance or medical decisions.
13. Children and young people
AudoWatch is not specifically designed as a children’s service. Local age and consent rules apply. If you believe a child’s information has been provided to us improperly, contact hezhuangjs@gmail.com so we can address information actually held by us.
14. Changes to this policy
We will update this page when actual functions or processing change, and revise the date above. Material changes will be communicated as required by law; additional consent will be sought when required before new processing begins. Continued use does not waive statutory rights or substitute for consent that the law requires.
