WearStream Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 23, 2026
Overview
WearStream is a local-first companion app system that can read heart-rate data from a supported Wear OS watch, send it to the paired Android phone, and optionally forward it to the user's Windows desktop app on the same local network.
WearStream is designed to work without a cloud account, without a WearStream backend service, and without third-party advertising or analytics services.
Data We Access
- Heart-rate data from the user's watch
- Basic device-to-device connection status
- Local network connection details needed to pair the phone app with the user's desktop relay
How We Use Data
WearStream uses this data only to provide the app's core functionality:
- Displaying live BPM and connection status
- Relaying telemetry from watch to phone
- Forwarding telemetry from phone to the user's local desktop app when the user starts the relay
Local-Only Design
At the time of this policy:
- WearStream does not require a WearStream account
- WearStream does not upload heart-rate data to a WearStream cloud service
- WearStream does not use advertising SDKs
- WearStream does not use analytics SDKs in the Android apps contained in this repository
Sharing
WearStream does not sell personal data and does not share heart-rate data with advertisers or data brokers. The only device-to-device transfer performed by the app is the user-initiated relay between the user's own watch, phone, and optional desktop app.
Retention
WearStream is intended for live relay and local display. The Android apps in this repository do not include a server-side account or cloud retention system for heart-rate history. Temporary connection and relay logs may be shown locally on the user's device for troubleshooting.
Permissions
WearStream may request heart-rate or body sensor access on the watch, background health/body-sensor access on supported Wear OS versions so streaming can continue after the watch screen sleeps, and local network / foreground service related permissions on the phone. These permissions are used only for the features described in this policy.
Medical Disclaimer
WearStream is not a medical app and not a medical device. It is not intended for diagnosis, treatment, prevention, or monitoring of medical conditions.
