Launchwatch privacy policy

Launchwatch is made by Zephy Studio in Singapore. It tells you when a product launch is announced, when pre-orders open and when stock appears at a store. This page says what it keeps and what it does not.

What we keep

• Your sign-in. If you sign in with Apple we keep the opaque identifier Apple gives us for this app. We never see your Apple password, and we do not ask for your name or email.
• Your watchlist. The products, stores, country and postcode or city you chose to watch, so we can check the right stores.
• Your push token. The address Apple gives us for sending notifications to your phone.
• Alerts sent to you. A short history, so you can see what fired and when.

What we do not do

• No advertising, no analytics software, no tracking across other apps or sites, and no selling or sharing of your data.
• We never ask for your Apple Account, card or Apple Pay details, and we cannot buy anything for you. You finish any purchase in the Apple Store app yourself.
• Your phone's precise location is used only when you tap "Use my location", on the phone, to find a nearby postcode. The postcode or city, not your coordinates, is what we keep.

Where it is kept

On our servers (hosted on Cloudflare) and in your private iCloud container for the app, so a new phone or a restarted server can pick up where you left off. Records in iCloud are readable only by the account that created them.

How long

Until you delete your account. In the app, Settings, Delete account and data removes your data from our servers and from iCloud. Records of our own check timings are deleted after 8 days. Stock sightings that carry no information about you may be kept to show how long stock lasts.

Your choices

You can delete everything at any time in the app. You can turn off notifications in the iOS Settings app.
