Valt Relay collects nothing. There is no account, no sign-in, no analytics and no crash reporting. The app does not hold the internet permission, so it cannot make a network request even if it wanted to: nothing about you reaches us, because there is nowhere for it to reach.
Relay reads your heart rate from the watch's own sensor and broadcasts it over Bluetooth, using the standard heart rate service that a chest strap uses. It goes to whichever device you have paired and nothing else.
It is not stored. Relay keeps a short buffer of recent readings in memory to draw the graph behind the number on screen, and that is discarded when the broadcast stops. Nothing is written to the watch, and nothing is sent to us.
What the receiving app does with the reading is between you and that app, and covered by its own privacy policy rather than this one.
We declare this transfer on Google Play's data safety form even though it never reaches us, because the data does leave the watch and we would rather over-declare than have you find out from somewhere else.
Two settings are stored on the watch: what the screen does while broadcasting, and which language the app uses. If you have Android's backup switched on, Google may include them in your account backup so they survive a new watch. That backup is Google's and is covered by their privacy policy. We never see it.
There is no location permission. Relay does not know or ask where you are.
Relay is not directed at children and is not designed for them.
If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it. Anything that materially affects what Relay does with your data would come with an app update, and would be described in that release's notes.
Relay is made by Rob Kinsella. For anything about this policy, email relay@valt.fitness, or see the support page.
