Minimal Complications (“the app”) is developed by Midnight Dev Lab (“we”, “us”). We built Minimal Complications to be private by design: it has no account, no login, and collects no personal information. This policy explains the little data that is involved and why.
To understand which features are used and to fix problems, the app sends anonymous usage events (for example: “a complication was added”, “Pro was unlocked”) through TelemetryDeck, a privacy-focused analytics service hosted in the European Union. They are of two kinds:
sync.pushFailed, with the channel that failed), a weather
or air-quality fetch that failed (weather.fetchFailed, with the sensor type), and how
promptly the watch complication reloaded — how long watchOS held back a reload the app asked
for, and how long the face went between refreshes (complication.reload and
complication.gap, as a coarse time range and the reason for the reload). The watch
records these and sends them to your iPhone, which reports them; the watch itself sends no
analytics.Your choice: analytics are optional. You can disable them at any time under Settings → Share anonymous usage data in the app. When turned off, no analytics events are sent.
If you configure a weather or air-quality sensor, the app sends the location coordinates you chose for that sensor, rounded to two decimal places (about a kilometre), to a relay server we run. The relay passes them to WeatherAPI.com (Zoomash Ltd) to fetch the values. This request is used only to fetch weather and is not linked to your identity: it carries the coordinates and nothing else about you.
As with any internet request, the relay sees your network address while the request passes through. It writes neither the address nor the coordinates to its log or to disk, and it does not pass the address on to WeatherAPI.com. WeatherAPI.com’s handling of requests is governed by their own terms and privacy policy.
In App Store terms this is coarse location, used for app functionality, not linked to your identity and not used to track you.
The optional one-time Pro unlock is sold through Apple’s App Store using StoreKit. Apple processes the payment; we never receive or store your payment details. Whether you own Pro is determined by your App Store purchase history on your Apple ID — we don’t keep a separate record of it.
Your complications, thresholds, and settings are stored locally on your iPhone and synced to your Apple Watch (using Apple’s on-device App Group storage and WatchConnectivity). This information stays on your devices and is not uploaded to us.
Minimal Complications is a general-audience utility and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone, including children.
If this policy changes, we will update the date at the top and post the revised version at this URL. Material changes will be reflected in a future app update.
