At TGWatch, we prioritize the protection of your privacy while delivering a seamless Telegram experience on Apple Watch. This privacy policy outlines our commitment to safeguarding your personal information and explains how we handle data within our Apple Watch client for Telegram.
1. Our Privacy Commitment
As a specialized Telegram client for Apple Watch, TGWatch is designed with privacy at its core. We operate with complete transparency regarding data handling and implement industry-leading security measures to protect your information. Our practices align with international privacy standards and regulations while maintaining the secure nature of Telegram's platform.
2. Information Handling
TGWatch functions as an interface to Telegram's services, processing only the data necessary for providing you with a responsive messaging experience on your Apple Watch. We minimize data collection to essential operations, focusing solely on enabling seamless communication through your watch. All message content remains protected by Telegram's end-to-end encryption protocols.
3. Watch-Specific Data Processing
Our app processes certain watch-specific data to optimize your experience, including notification preferences, watch face complications settings, and interaction patterns. This information remains locally on your device and is used exclusively to enhance your messaging experience. We do not track or store your location, health data, or any other sensitive information from your Apple Watch.
4. Local Storage and Security
TGWatch employs local storage on your Apple Watch for caching messages and preferences, ensuring quick access while maintaining privacy. We utilize Apple's secure enclave and encryption standards to protect any locally stored data. No personal messages or media are ever stored on our servers - everything stays between your device and Telegram's secure infrastructure.
5. Analytics and Improvements
To improve our service, we may collect anonymous usage statistics about app performance and feature interaction. This data is strictly technical in nature and contains no personal information or message content. You can opt out of analytics sharing through the app settings while continuing to use all core messaging features.
6. Notification Management
TGWatch processes notification data to deliver timely alerts on your Apple Watch. We respect your device's notification settings and provide granular controls for managing how messages appear on your watch. All notification content is processed locally and follows Apple's privacy guidelines for watch-based notifications.
7. Data Access and Control
You maintain complete control over your data within TGWatch. Through the app settings, you can manage caching preferences, clear local data, and control how the app interacts with your watch. Your Telegram account data remains under Telegram's privacy policy and security protocols.
8. Third-Party Integration
TGWatch integrates exclusively with Telegram's services and essential Apple Watch features. We do not share data with third parties or integrate with external services that could compromise your privacy. Any interaction with Telegram's platform is governed by their privacy policy and security measures.
9. Continuous Protection
We regularly update our privacy measures to align with the latest security standards and watchOS capabilities. Our team actively monitors for potential privacy impacts when implementing new features, ensuring that convenience never compromises security.
10. Contact and Support
