Wear Logger

About this app

Wear Logger logs your GPS co-ordinates, your steps, your heart rate and heart points from your Wear OS watch and, only with your explicit permission, synchronises your workout data to your own personal accounts with fitness services. Wear Logger uses location services to record your distance and pace only while you are actively using the app. Wear Logger runs on your Android phone and on your Wear OS watch as companion devices.

Wear Logger does not encrypt your locally stored data, but such files are held in a secure sandbox. The app provides an option to delete some or all data stored on the device. You can optionally export your data to comma separated value (CSV) files, GPS Exchange (GPX) files or Training Data XML (TCX) files to visualise your data in other services.

Health Connect on Android phones allows the interchange of fitness and health information between various third-party apps. Wear Logger does not read or otherwise access any data from Health Connect. However you can choose to write data recorded in Wear Logger to Health Connect which can then be accessed by other third-party fitness apps to which you have granted permission. No data from Wear Logger are written to Health Connect unless you, as the user, make an explicit choice to do so. Such data can be deleted subsequently as needed.

Wear Logger's use of Health Connect fully adheres to the Health Connect Permissions policy including the Limited Use requirements: https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/9888170?sjid=8998901795904597274-NA#ahp
