Skew is designed with privacy as a default. The app does not collect, transmit, or share any personal data with third parties. Your data syncs privately between your own devices via iCloud.
Skew stores the following data using Apple's SwiftData framework. Data syncs privately across your devices via iCloud and is only accessible through your Apple ID, governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.
Skew requests microphone access to detect your watch's ticking sound. Audio is processed entirely on-device to measure the beat rate. No audio is recorded to a file, stored externally, or transmitted anywhere.
Skew requests photo library access so you can attach certificates, receipts, or other images to your watch records. Selected photos are stored in the app and sync via iCloud. They are never shared with third parties.
Skew makes outbound network requests solely to obtain an accurate time reference for drift calculations. These requests are sent to:
time.apple.compool.ntp.orgtime.cloudflare.comThese are standard NTP (Network Time Protocol) queries. No user data, device identifiers, or app data are included in these requests.
Skew contains no analytics, crash reporting, advertising SDKs, or any form of user tracking.
Skew uses only Apple's built-in frameworks. No third-party code or SDKs are included.
Skew is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from children.
If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at this URL with a new "Last updated" date.
