WatchTool Privacy Policy & Support

Last updated: 2026

WatchTool (“the app”) helps users turn spare iPhones into smart alerts for mailboxes, appliances, doors, and other events. We respect your privacy and collect only the information necessary for the app to function.

Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

Account Information

When you sign in with Apple, we receive a unique user identifier.

Your email address may be provided by Apple on your first sign-in only.

Device Information

The app stores device identifiers and settings required to link your phones and send notifications.

Detection Data

If you enable monitoring tasks (light, sound, vibration, etc.), the app stores task settings and event timestamps so alerts can be delivered.

Sensors and Permissions

WatchTool may request access to:

• Camera — used only when you enable light detection tasks (such as mailbox monitoring)
• Microphone — used only when you enable sound detection tasks
• Motion sensors — used only when you enable vibration or movement detection
• Notifications — used to send alerts to your devices

These permissions are used only to provide the features you choose to enable.
