Privacy Policy
Bellwatch (“the app”) is a personal organizer for Android with alarms, reminders and lists. This policy explains what the app does with your information.
What stays on your phone
The app keeps the following only on your phone. It is never sent to us or to anyone else:
- your alarms, with their times, names and repeat rules
- your reminders, with their dates, descriptions and notification times
- your lists and their items, and the items the app remembers to suggest later
- your settings (home layout, theme, snooze lengths, alarm sound, language)
What is sent over the internet
Nothing. The app does not ask for the internet permission and has no features that need the network.
What we do not do
- We have no servers that receive your data, and we do not collect any.
- No accounts, no advertising, no analytics, no crash-reporting libraries, no tracking.
- We do not sell or share your data.
- The app does not use the camera, the microphone, your contacts or your location.
Permissions
- Alarms and exact alarms: to ring and notify at the time you set, even when the phone is idle.
- Notifications: to show reminders, and the alarm when the screen is on or locked.
- Full-screen alerts: to show the alarm screen over the lock screen when an alarm rings.
- Foreground service, vibration and wake lock: to keep an alarm sounding until you answer it.
- Start at boot: to set your alarms and reminders again after the phone restarts.
Backup
In the app’s settings you can export everything to one file and import it again. The file is saved where you choose, using Android’s file picker, so it can go to the phone’s storage or to a cloud drive you use. The app does not upload it. The file is plain text and holds your alarms, reminders and lists, so it is as private as the place you keep it. The app does not use Android’s automatic backup to your Google account.
Deleting your data
Uninstall the app, or clear its storage in Android settings > Apps > Bellwatch, and everything the app saved is removed. A backup file you exported stays where you saved it until you delete it.
Children
The app is a general organizer and is not directed at children under 13. It collects no personal information from anyone.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be published at this address with a new date.
