Privacy Policy — IOVION Watch Apps for Wear OS

Last updated: 14 October 2026

This policy applies to every activity app IOVION publishes for Wear OS on Google Play under the name Iovion, together with its companion app on the phone. A new tracker app is covered by it from its release. It does not apply to our apps for Garmin watches, to our watch faces, to other IOVION products or to this website, which are covered by our

.

We collect nothing.

The apps have no account, no advertising, no analytics and no internet access — neither the watch app nor the companion app on the phone requests the internet permission. Nothing you record is sent to Iovion or to anyone else.

What the apps ask for.

Each app asks only for what its own sport needs; the store listing of an app names its permissions. What a kind of data is used for:

The readings come from the watch's own sensors through Android's Health Services and sensor framework. They are used while a session runs and are not sent anywhere but to your own phone, as described below.

Your recordings stay with you.

What stays on the watch: • Your settings (e.g. targets, weekly goals, units, body weight, max heart rate). • The summaries of the sessions you save (newest 100) and what an app shows from them later, such as the progress towards a weekly goal or the details of a saved session. A discarded session is not kept. • Where an app learns from your own saved sessions to show an estimate during the next one (a calibration, e.g. metres per stroke), that calibration. You can reset it in the app's settings.

The companion app on the phone, and Health Connect.

Each app comes with a small companion app for the phone. Its job is to put a session you saved on the watch into Health Connect, so that it appears where you look for your training rather than only inside our app, and — for an app that records a GPS track — to let you share that track as a GPX file. Each companion asks only for what its own app writes: always the session, its heart rate and its calories; the distance and the ascent only in an app that measures them.

What travels from the watch to the phone.

The session itself — when it started and ended, what kind of session it was, its title, its heart rate (the readings of the recording time, at most one a second, none from a pause) and the calories, distance and ascent the watch measured; for an app with rounds or rest phases, their times (written as the session's notes and rest phases); for an app that records a GPS track, that track (below). Nothing else. It goes over the Wear OS Data Layer, the local connection between your watch and your paired phone, which reaches only the companion app of the same app. A distance the app merely estimated is not written at all, and a distance you typed in yourself is marked as entered by hand.

Where it is written.

Health Connect, which is a store on your own phone. The companion app only writes; it never reads your Health Connect data. Writing happens only after you grant the Health Connect permission, and you can withdraw it at any time in Health Connect — the watch keeps working exactly as before, and its own history stays complete.

Who else sees it.

Whatever you allow in Health Connect. If another app (for example Samsung Health or Strava) reads the session from there, it does so because you gave that app access, not because we sent anything anywhere.

The GPS track, for every app that records one.

The positions of the recording time, about one a second, travel with the session to the phone over the same local connection. The companion keeps the tracks of the last 20 sessions, with their heart rate, in its own private storage and shows them under “Recent sessions” with a “Share GPX” button. A GPX file is created only when you tap that button; it holds the track and, where recorded, the heart rate at each point, and it goes only where you send it with Android's share sheet (for example to a file manager, Strava or Komoot). We receive nothing; the track is not written into Health Connect. Uninstalling the companion or clearing its data deletes the kept tracks.

The watch stays the original.

The bridge is an addition, never a replacement: if the transfer fails or you have no phone, nothing is lost.

Uninstalling an app or clearing its data deletes what that app keeps. Sessions already written into Health Connect belong to Health Connect from then on and are deleted there.

Purchases.

Our apps are distributed through Google Play. Google 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). Google'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.

Changes.

A changed policy is published at this address with a new date. Material changes will be reflected in the affected Google Play listings. A new tracker app is covered by this policy from its release.
