Watch faces privacy policy

This policy applies to every Wear OS watch face that HOLLINGSWORKS LLC (“Hollingsworks”, “we”, “us”) publishes on Google Play, under package names that start with com.hollingsworks.face.. Hollingsworks is a small software studio in Michigan, run by Jesse Hollingsworth.

How these watch faces work

The faces are built with Google’s Watch Face Format. A face of this kind is a design: a description of shapes, text, images and settings that your watch draws by itself. It contains no app code, so it cannot open a network connection, run tracking or advertising tools, read your files, or save anything about you. The faces request no Android permissions of their own.

Data the faces display

To show useful information, a face asks your watch to draw values that the watch already has. Depending on the face and the settings you choose, that can include:

• time, date, time zone, battery level and unread notifications;
• step count, step goal and heart rate from your watch’s own sensors and health services;
• weather, chance of rain, UV index, sunrise and sunset, moon phase and your next calendar event;
• anything else shown by a complication you pick, such as another app’s data or an app shortcut.

These values are drawn on your watch screen and nowhere else. The face does not store, copy, analyze or transmit them. Complications are supplied by your watch’s system or by other apps you have installed, and those apps have their own privacy policies.

If your watch asks for permission before a face can show certain data (for example heart rate or calendar events), that request comes from your watch’s own software. You can turn the permission off at any time in the watch’s settings. The face keeps working and simply shows less.

Buying a face on Google Play

Purchases, payments and refunds are handled by Google Play under Google’s privacy policy. Like every Play developer, we see limited order details from Google (such as an order number, date, price and country or region) and anonymous, combined statistics (such as install counts, ratings and public reviews). We use these only to keep accounts, handle refunds and pay taxes. We never sell or share them.

If you contact us

If you email us, we use your address and message only to answer you. We keep them only as long as needed for that and delete them sooner if you ask.

This website

The help and policy pages for the faces are part of hollingsworks.com. What that site collects (visit statistics you can turn off) is described in the Hollingsworks privacy policy.

Children

These watch faces are not directed at children under 13. Because the faces collect no data, they collect none from children either.

Your choices and rights

The watch faces hold no data about you, so there is nothing for us to show, correct or delete. For purchase records, you can contact Google Play or write to us. Removing a watch face from your watch removes it completely.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date at the top. We will never start collecting data quietly: a face that needed to collect data would say so in its Google Play listing first.
