Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 5, 2026

WristPlay ("the app," "we," "us") is a YouTube client for Apple Watch. This policy explains what data the app accesses, how it's used, where it's stored, and who it's shared with.

WristPlay is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Google LLC or YouTube. "YouTube" and "Google" are trademarks of Google LLC.

What the app accesses

If you sign in with Google, the app requests read-only access to:

  • Your YouTube subscriptions (the channels you follow)
  • Your YouTube playlists (to show and manage a "Watch Later" list)

The app does not request access to upload videos, post comments, manage your channel, or read your Google account's email, contacts, or other Google services.

Signing in is optional. Trending and Search work without signing in at all.

Where your data is stored

  • Your Google sign-in tokens are stored only in your Apple Watch's Keychain — Apple's encrypted, on-device credential store. They are never written to app preferences, plain files, or logs, and never leave your device except to communicate directly with Google's own servers.
  • Your watch history (videos you've opened) is stored locally on your Apple Watch only, is never uploaded anywhere, and is capped to a limited number of recent entries.
  • We do not operate a WristPlay account system and do not store your Google data, subscriptions, playlists, or watch history on any server we control.

How the app talks to Google and to our infrastructure

WristPlay uses two different paths for network requests, deliberately kept separate:

  • Public data (trending videos, search results) is fetched through a caching service we operate, which uses our own YouTube API key. This path never sees or handles your Google account or sign-in information.
  • Your personal data (subscriptions, playlists) is fetched directly from your device to Google's servers, using your own Google sign-in token. This traffic does not pass through, or get logged by, any server we operate.

What we don't do

  • We don't sell, rent, or share your Google user data with third parties.
  • We don't use your Google data for advertising, and the app has no ads.
  • We don't run analytics or tracking SDKs that collect your Google data.

Deleting your data

Tapping "Sign Out" in the app immediately clears your sign-in token from Keychain. Deleting the app from your Watch removes all locally stored data (tokens, watch history, saved videos) from your device. Because we don't store your Google data on our own servers, there is nothing further to delete on our end. You can also review or revoke WristPlay's access at any time from your Google Account permissions page.

Children's privacy

WristPlay is not directed at children under 13. If a child uses WristPlay on a family or supervised Apple Watch, we recommend a parent or guardian manage the associated Google account and sign-in.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes in a way that affects how your data is handled, we'll update this page and change the "Last updated" date above.
