Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 11, 2026

WRotate ("we", "us", or "our") operates the WRotate website and iOS application. This policy describes how we collect, use, and protect your information.

1. Information We Collect

Account information: When you sign up via Google or Apple, we receive your name and email address (and, from Google, your profile photo). We never receive or store your password.

Content you create: Watch collection data, wear logs, photos, comments, posts, club memberships, and any other content you add to WRotate.

Measurement data: When you use the timegrapher, your device's microphone listens to your watch. The audio is processed on your device into tick timings — we store those timings, the computed results (rate, amplitude, beat error), and session metadata, which we also analyze in aggregate to improve measurement accuracy. We do not upload or store audio recordings.

Device information: If you enable push notifications on iOS, we store your device token to deliver notifications. We also collect basic usage data such as device type and operating system version.

2. How We Use Your Information

To provide and maintain the WRotate service
To display your profile, collection, and posts to other users based on your privacy settings
To send push notifications about likes, comments, follows, and other activity (when enabled)
To send service emails such as reminders and product updates (you can opt out of each category)
To improve the app and fix bugs

3. Data Storage

Your data is stored securely on Supabase infrastructure (backed by AWS). Photos are stored in Supabase Storage. All data is transmitted over HTTPS.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share data only with service providers who process it on our instructions to run WRotate: Supabase (hosting and storage), Amazon SES (email delivery; some emails track which links are clicked), PostHog (product analytics), and Anthropic and Google (AI features: photos or watch details you submit are processed to generate the result). Your content is visible to other WRotate users only according to the privacy settings you choose (Public, Followers Only, Close Friends, or Private).

5. Your Privacy Controls

Visibility: You control who sees your posts, collection, and wishlist through granular privacy settings (Public, Followers, Close Friends, Private).
Account privacy: You can set your account to private so only approved followers see your content.
Push notifications: You can disable push notifications at any time through your device settings.

6. Data Deletion

You can delete your account at any time from your profile settings. This permanently removes your profile, watches, posts, comments, and all associated data from our servers.

7. Children's Privacy

WRotate is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

8. Cookies

We use browser local storage and cookies to maintain your login session, store your preferences, and (via PostHog) understand how WRotate is used so we can improve it. We do not use advertising cookies.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
