Log – Privacy Policy
Last updated: 20 February 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how the Log application (“Log”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) handles information when you use the Log app on your Android phone and the companion Wear OS app.
Log is a personal logging tool. It allows you to create timestamped entries using speech recognition and optional location metadata. Log does not send your entries to our own servers.
Log processes the following types of data on your devices:
1.1. Audio (microphone input)
When you create a log entry using speech input on your phone or Wear OS watch, Log invokes the system speech recognition API.
Your spoken words are converted to text by Google’s speech recognition service (as provided by your device and Google Play Services).
Log itself does not store audio recordings.
Only the transcribed text is stored as part of your log entry.
Permissions involved:
android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO (required to capture your voice input for speech recognition).
1.2. Location (GPS or network location)
When enabled, Log attempts to attach the device’s last known location (latitude, longitude) to entries created on the phone.
Location is used only to enrich your log entry with context.
Location is stored locally in the app’s database as part of each entry.
Permissions involved:
android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION or equivalent (depending on device and Android version).
You can choose to deny location permission; in that case, Log will simply not store location data.
1.3. Log entries and metadata
For each entry, Log may store:
Text of the entry (from speech or manual input)
Tag selected at the time of logging
UTC timestamp of the entry
Optional metadata such as project number, site ID, role, author name, and author email (if you configure these in Settings)
Optional location (latitude, longitude)
All of this is stored locally on your phone using an embedded database.
A subset of information (tag label and text content) may be transmitted between phone and watch to keep your logs in sync.
2.1. Local storage
All entries and metadata are stored locally on your Android device in the app’s private storage.
On Wear OS, the app sends log content to your paired phone via the Google Play Services Wear OS Data Layer.
2.2. Synchronization between phone and watch
When you start a log on the watch, the watch sends:
The selected tag
The recognized text
The phone receives this and creates a new entry in the local database.
Tag configuration (tag labels and their colors) may be sent from the phone to the watch so the tag selector on the watch matches the phone.
No data is sent to any server owned by the developer. Data transmission happens only between your own devices (phone and watch) using Google’s wearable APIs.
2.3. No third-party analytics or advertising
Log does not include third-party advertising SDKs.
Log does not use third-party analytics libraries.
We do not sell or share your log data with third parties.
Log may provide CSV export of entries so that you can back up or process your own data.
Responsibility for the security of exported files (e.g., if you store them in cloud storage or email them) rests with you.
Log is intended for use by adults and is not specifically targeted at children under 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child is using the app and providing personal information, you may uninstall the app and remove local data at any time.
You can control data collection via system permissions and app settings:
Microphone permission – If you deny RECORD_AUDIO, speech input will not work, and you’ll need to create entries via other input methods (if available).
Location permission – If you deny location access, entries will not include GPS data.
Uninstalling the app – You can uninstall the app at any time to remove local data stored on your device.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
If we make significant changes, we will update the “Last updated” date above. We recommend reviewing this page occasionally.
