Privacy Policy — IOVION Watch Apps for Garmin

Last updated: 6 November 2026

This policy applies to every activity app IOVION publishes for Garmin watches in the Connect IQ store under the name Iovion. A new tracker app is covered by it from its release. It does not apply to our watch faces, to other IOVION products or to this website, which are covered by our

.

We collect nothing.

Our Garmin apps are written in Monkey C and run on Garmin's Connect IQ platform. None of them requests the Communications permission, so they have no network access at all and cannot send anything anywhere. There is no analytics, no advertising, no crash reporting and no third-party SDK of any kind. We receive no data from them.

What the apps ask for.

Connect IQ shows you the permissions an app asks for before you install it, so here is what ours ask for and why. All of them request Fit and FitContributor, to record an activity and to add their own values to it — the score, the load, the minutes of heat and cold, the strokes and the metres off a rowing machine, the grade and result of every route, the races and their starts, the jumps, the swim strokes and splits, the speed runs and kite jumps, the dance time and the concert score, the time danced and the breaks, the time per discipline of a race, the runs, lifts and descent of a day on the snow, how far ahead of or behind your target time you are, the route of a ride, the time against its best and the climbs. The heart rate your watch measures is stored in the activity, as in any Garmin recording. All except Climbing Tracker, Sail Race Timer and Run Pace Tracker declare Sensor. Rowing Tracker, Jump Rope Tracker, Paddle Tracker, Open Water Swim Tracker, Windsports Tracker, Concert Tracker and Ballroom Dance Tracker read a continuous stream from the accelerometer through that permission, because they count your strokes or jumps, or tell dancing from standing, from the movement of your wrist; the raw motion readings are not saved anywhere, what reaches the activity is the count and its rate curve, for Concert Tracker the dance and standing time and a movement curve, for Ballroom Dance Tracker the time danced, the breaks and a movement curve. Windsports Tracker also reads the barometer, for the height of a jump; Ski + Snowboard Tracker reads it, where the watch has one, for the altitude that tells a lift from a run; Everyday Bike Tracker reads it, where the watch has one, for the altitude of a climb. Concert Tracker also reads the watch's temperature sensor for the wrist temperature it shows. UserProfile gives them your body weight and your heart rate zones, Concert Tracker also your resting heart rate. Multi-Tracker, Ruck Tracker, Climbing Tracker, Sail Race Timer, Paddle Tracker, Open Water Swim Tracker, Windsports Tracker, Triathlon + Duathlon, Ski + Snowboard Tracker, Run Pace Tracker and Everyday Bike Tracker additionally request Positioning, for the GPS track, distance and speed of an outdoor session; Climbing Tracker uses it only on rock and multi-pitch routes, Sail Race Timer also for the start line you set. Concert Tracker and Ballroom Dance Tracker request it too, but only to place the venue: shortly after the start they turn GPS off for the rest of the session. Multi-Tracker also lists SensorLogging, PersistedContent and PersistedLocations; without network access it cannot pass on anything through them either.

Your recordings stay with you.

A recording is saved on the watch as an activity, just like one you start from Garmin's own activity list, and reaches your Garmin account the same way when you sync the watch. From then on it is your data held with Garmin; we have no access to it. The few values an app keeps between sessions — the last sport, your favourites, the pack weight and distance goal, the weekly totals, the last climbing type, grade scale, start sequence, boat, programme and goal, your own interval set, and the correction Jump Rope Tracker has learned from your corrected counts — stay on the watch and are removed when you uninstall the app.

Purchases.

Our apps are distributed through the Garmin Connect IQ store. Garmin handles the purchase, the installation and any refund and acts as the data controller for the payment; we receive only sales reports without your name or payment details (at most the country, region or postal code of the purchase). Garmin's handling of that data is described in the

Children.

Our apps are not directed at children and send no data to us from anyone, regardless of age.
