ClawHark Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 28, 2026

Overview

ClawHark is an open-source audio recording app for Wear OS. It records audio on your watch and uploads it to your own Google Drive account. We do not operate any servers or collect any data.

Data Collection

ClawHark does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to us or any third party.

What the app accesses

Data Purpose Where it goes
Microphone audio Recording conversations Saved locally on watch, then uploaded to YOUR Google Drive
Google Drive (scoped) Cloud backup of recordings Your personal Drive account only, in a "ClawHark" folder

What we do NOT collect

  • No analytics or telemetry
  • No crash reporting to external services
  • No advertising identifiers
  • No location data
  • No contact information
  • No usage tracking

Data Storage & Transfer

  1. On-device: Audio is recorded as WAV files and stored temporarily on the watch
  2. Google Drive: Files are uploaded to a "ClawHark" folder in your Google Drive using the drive.file scope (the app can only access files it created — it cannot read your other Drive files)
  3. Auto-cleanup: Local files are deleted after successful upload

All data transfer uses HTTPS encryption. Audio files are not encrypted at rest on the watch or in Drive.

Google OAuth

ClawHark uses Google's Device Authorization flow to link your Google account. The app requests only the drive.file scope, which limits access to files created by the app. You can revoke access at any time via Google Account permissions.

Third-Party Services

The app uses only:

No other third-party services, SDKs, or analytics tools are included.

Your Rights

  • You can stop recording at any time
  • You can sign out to revoke Drive access
  • You can delete all recordings from your Google Drive
  • You can uninstall the app to remove all local data
  • You can revoke OAuth access via your Google Account settings

Open Source

ClawHark is fully open source. You can inspect the complete source code to verify these claims: https://github.com/etticat/clawhark

Children's Privacy

ClawHark is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
