Privacy

PowerWatt can optionally send anonymous usage statistics to help improve the app. This is off by default.

Consent

• Telemetry is disabled by default.
• On first launch, PowerWatt asks if you want to share anonymous usage stats.
• You can enable/disable telemetry at any time in Preferences.

What we collect (minimal, anonymous)

When enabled, PowerWatt may send events such as:

• app_first_launch
• app_launch
• view_opened (e.g. Preferences)
• setting_changed (setting name and a bucketed value)
• feature_used (feature name)
• error_nonfatal (error domain/code and short context)

Events include a random install_id and basic app/device context:

• App version and build number
• macOS version
• Locale (language/region)

What we do NOT collect

• No name, email address, or account identifiers
• No macOS username, computer name, or serial number
• No precise location data
• No session replay

Processor / hosting

Telemetry is processed by PostHog Cloud (EU region). The endpoint used is https://eu.i.posthog.com.

How to opt out

Open PowerWatt Preferences and turn off “Share anonymous usage stats”. When disabled, PowerWatt does not initialize telemetry and does not send events.
