Max Watch Privacy Policy

Effective Date: November 15, 2026

Short Summary: Max Watch for Mac and Windows is 100% offline. It collects zero personal data, zero video or audio data, zero analytics, and has zero network access on both macOS and Windows.

1. Zero Data Collection

Max Watch does not collect, transmit, upload, rent, or share any information of any kind. There are no user accounts, no cloud servers, no analytics SDKs, and no telemetry.

2. Local Camera & Microphone Processing

Camera video frames and microphone audio samples are processed exclusively in memory on your Mac or Windows PC to detect motion and write AES-256-GCM encrypted recordings into your local application vault folder (~/Library/Containers/app.c60.maxwatch/Data/Library/Application Support/MaxWatch/Vault on macOS, or %LOCALAPPDATA%\MaxWatch\Vault on Windows).

3. Local Encryption & Passwords

Your vault password is used solely on your computer via PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 (310,000 iterations) to protect your local Curve25519 + AES-256-GCM encryption keys. Because no password or recovery key is ever transmitted or stored externally, forgotten passwords cannot be recovered by anyone.

4. Offline Enforcement on macOS & Windows

On macOS, Max Watch runs inside the macOS App Sandbox without client or server network entitlements (com.apple.security.network.client and com.apple.security.network.server are omitted). On Windows, Max Watch is compiled natively with zero network socket or HTTP DLL imports, verified automatically on every build.
