Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 18, 2026

1. Who we are

"Watch Sim", "we" and "us" mean the independent developer of the Watch Sim iPhone app and of this website. You can reach us at support@example.com.

2. Information we collect

We do not operate a server for the app and we do not receive data from it automatically. We do not use third-party analytics, advertising, attribution or crash-reporting SDKs.

3. Information stored on your device

The app saves the following only on your device, so the game can remember where you left off:

• The display name you choose (shown on your own rankings row and on share images you create)
• Game progress: cash, completed jobs, unlocked and owned parts, collection, saved builds, achievements, settings, hint counts and lesson progress
• Technical state used to keep the app working: a short log of recent app errors, and counters that help detect an unexpected close

This information is not sent to us. It is removed when you delete the app, or when you use Settings › Account › Delete account.

4. Information you choose to send us

Inside Settings › Help & feedback you can report a bug, report a crash, report a purchase problem or suggest an idea. Nothing is sent unless you press Send, Share or Copy yourself.

• You write the message. You may also include optional device details: app version, iPhone model, iOS version, screen size, the screen you were on, the watch or job open, whether Pro is owned, launch and unexpected-close counts, and the last few app error messages.
• The device details do not include your name, Apple ID or email. A preview shows exactly what will be included before you send.
• The report goes out through your own email app or the iOS share sheet. We receive it only if you send it to us, and we use it only to investigate the problem and reply to you.

5. Purchases

Optional purchases (Pro and the Style Pack) are one-time, non-consumable in-app purchases handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. We never see or store your payment details, name or Apple ID. The app only receives confirmation from Apple that a product is owned so it can unlock features. See Apple's Privacy Policy.

6. Game Center

The app can use Apple Game Center for leaderboards and achievements. If you are signed in to Game Center, your scores, achievements and your Game Center alias are shared with Apple and displayed to other players in line with your Game Center settings. That data is controlled by Apple, not by us. You can manage Game Center visibility in the iOS Settings app. Deleting your data in Watch Sim does not remove scores held by Apple.

7. Permissions

The app does not request access to your contacts, location, camera, microphone, photos, tracking identifier or health data. The app plays sound and haptics and can use the iOS share sheet when you ask it to. Sound plays even when your ringer is off, so keep your volume in mind.

8. Tracking and advertising

We do not track you across other companies' apps or websites, we do not show ads, and we do not sell or share personal data with data brokers or advertisers.

9. This website

This website is static. It uses no cookies, no analytics, no scripts, no forms and no third-party resources. The hosting provider, Cloudflare, may process standard technical data such as IP addresses in server logs to deliver and protect the site, under its own privacy policy.

10. Children

The app collects no personal information from anyone, including children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information in a message, email us and we will delete it.

11. Data retention and deletion

Because game data lives on your device, you control it. Use Delete account in Settings to remove all of it, or delete the app. Emails you send us are kept only as long as needed to help you, and you can ask us to delete them at any time by emailing support@example.com.

12. Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example Canada, the EU/UK or California), you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal information we hold about you. We hold only what you email us. Contact us and we will respond within a reasonable time, and within any period required by law.

13. Security

We keep data collection to a minimum, which is the strongest protection available. Game data stays in the app's private storage on your device, protected by iOS. No system is perfectly secure, but we do not hold databases of player data for anyone to breach.

14. Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will update the date above and, for significant changes, note it in the app's release notes. Please check this page occasionally.
