Privacy Policy - Phone Battery Complication
Last Updated: August 25, 2026
Privacy Ethos
This app is designed as a direct helper utility to display your phone battery, watch battery, calendar events, media playback, and phone notifications directly on your watch face via Wear OS complications. We believe your device status is personal. Our core principles are:
- No Advertising: We do not include any ad SDKs or tracking pixels.
- No Location Tracking: We do not request, access, or track your location coordinates.
- No User Profiles: We do not collect names, emails, or hardware identifiers (IMEI/Serial).
- Local & Direct Sync: All synchronized data (battery levels, calendar events, media playback info, and notifications) is transmitted directly between your phone and watch using Google Play Services Wearable APIs. No proprietary cloud servers are used to store or route this data.
Data Access & Permissions
The following permissions and services are used to synchronize and display device status, calendar events, active media, and notification information:
| Permission / Service | App Scope | Usage & Purpose | Feature Powered |
|---|---|---|---|
RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED |
Mobile & Wear App | Allows the application/complication service to automatically re-initialize battery and data synchronization tasks when the device boots up. | Automatic background sync on boot. |
QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES |
Mobile App | Because the app doesn't know in advance which apps will post notifications or play media, it cannot
use the more restrictive <queries> element (which requires listing specific package
names). This permission is the only way to ensure full compatibility with all third-party apps on newer
Android versions. |
Notification & Media sync compatibility. |
READ_CALENDAR |
Mobile App | Accesses local calendar events to enable syncing of event-based details to the watch complications (if enabled). | Next Event complication. |
NotificationListenerService (Notification Access) |
Mobile App | Allows the companion application to read active notifications and active media session metadata from the phone status bar to transmit them to your watch. | Phone Notifications & Media Playback complications. |
Google Play Services (Wearable API) |
Mobile & Wear App | Establishes a local communication channel to transfer battery levels, calendar events, media states, and notification data between devices. | Real-time complication synchronization. |
Data Sharing & External Services
All core synchronization operates entirely between your own paired devices. The only external service present in the app is optional diagnostics:
Crash Reporting & Diagnostics (Optional)
To help improve application stability and diagnose bugs, the app contains optional crash reporting integrations:
- Data Types: Crash logs & Device or other IDs.
- Collected, Shared, or both? Collected only (not Shared, as Google/Firebase processes this data solely on our behalf).
- Ephemeral Processing: No (Firebase stores crash logs and installation IDs on its servers for analysis).
- User Choice: Users can choose whether this data is collected (collection is completely optional and controlled by an in-app toggle).
- Purpose of Collection: App functionality and/or Analytics.
Data Storage & Retention
- Local Storage: Only the current active device status (battery levels, calendar event details, active media track/play state, and notification list) is temporarily cached locally on your device to feed the watch complications.
- Retention: Synced values are overwritten immediately whenever a new status update is received. No historical records, message contents, or track listings are kept.
- Uninstall: All settings, configurations, and cache are immediately deleted by the system when you uninstall the app from your device.
No Data Sale
We do not sell, rent, or trade your data to third parties. We do not track your device behavior or usage patterns.
User Rights & Control
You have full control over the sync status and options:
- Stop Sync: You can pause synchronization or uninstall the companion app at any time to halt communication.
- Crash Reporting Opt-out: You can enable or disable crash reporting at any time via the application settings on your device.
Children's Privacy
This app does not knowingly collect any personal information from children. Our services are intended for a general audience.
