Privacy Policy
Last Updated: December 15, 2025
MAXOLA LABS LLC ("we," "our," or "us") built the WatchTower app as a commercial application. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our app. The short version: we don't collect your personal data.
Information We Do Not Collect
WatchTower is designed with your privacy in mind. We do not collect, store, or transmit:
- Personal identification information (name, email, phone number)
- Location data
- Device identifiers or fingerprints
- Usage analytics or behavioral data
- Financial information or investment data
- Any data requiring an account or login
Local Data Storage
WatchTower stores your preferences locally on your device using Apple's standard UserDefaults system. This includes:
- Theme preference (light, dark, or auto)
- Sound effects setting (on/off)
- Haptic feedback setting (on/off)
This data never leaves your device and is not accessible to us or any third party. You can reset this data by deleting the app.
Third-Party Services
WatchTower integrates with the following third-party services to provide market data and charting functionality:
- Yahoo Finance API — Used to fetch real-time market index data. Your device makes direct requests to Yahoo's servers. Please review Yahoo's Privacy Policy for information on how they handle requests.
- TradingView Widget — Used to display interactive stock charts. The widget loads within the app via an embedded web view. Please review TradingView's Privacy Policy for information on their data practices.
We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party services.
No Account Required: WatchTower does not require you to create an account, sign in, or provide any personal information to use the app. All features are available without registration.
Data Security
Since we do not collect personal data, there is no personal data to secure on our end. Your local preferences are protected by your device's built-in security features, including device passcode, Face ID, or Touch ID.
Children's Privacy
WatchTower is a financial information app intended for general audiences. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone, including children under the age of 13. Since our app does not collect personal data, no special provisions for children's data are necessary.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
