CHARGE DASH / PRIVACY

Privacy, by design.

Updated 16 September 2026

Your battery data never goes to our servers. Charge Dash does not send your battery readings, device names, device identifiers, history or app preferences to NIMBLESITE PTY LTD. We do not run a server for the app and cannot access your private iCloud battery database.

Charge Dash is made by NIMBLESITE PTY LTD. This policy covers the Charge Dash apps and widgets for Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch.

What stays on your devices and in your iCloud

The app handles battery percentages, charging states, device types, names and identifiers, measurement times, recent battery history and display preferences. It uses these to match your devices, show their batteries and estimate when they may need charging.

This information is stored locally on your devices, including a local copy for widgets. When iCloud is available, the Mac and iPhone/iPad apps sync through your private iCloud database, using Apple's CloudKit service. Your paired iPhone also exchanges battery information with your Apple Watch through Apple's WatchConnectivity service. None of this passes through a NIMBLESITE server.

Apple provides the iCloud service

Apple operates iCloud and controls its storage, security, encryption, account recovery and availability. Your use of iCloud depends on your Apple Account settings, Apple's Privacy Policy and the iCloud terms. Charge Dash does not control Apple's infrastructure or your account's encryption keys.

Apple may also process information through the App Store, system diagnostics and other operating-system services according to its policies and your settings. These services are separate from a Charge Dash backend: we do not operate one.

Encryption and Advanced Data Protection

Apple encrypts third-party app data in iCloud while it travels between your devices and its servers, and while it is stored on its servers. With standard iCloud protection, Apple holds the keys needed to decrypt that data. See Apple's iCloud data security overview.

Advanced Data Protection is an optional Apple setting that adds end-to-end encryption to supported iCloud data, including eligible backups and app data. For covered data, the keys stay with your trusted devices and Apple cannot decrypt it.

Turning on Advanced Data Protection does not currently make Charge Dash's iCloud sync end-to-end encrypted. Apple's coverage for third-party app sync depends on using specific encrypted CloudKit storage features. Charge Dash currently uses standard CloudKit fields for its synced battery data. A private iCloud database alone does not mean end-to-end encryption.

You can read Apple's guide to turning on Advanced Data Protection for availability, device requirements and recovery options. If you lose access, you need one of your recovery methods; Apple cannot decrypt that protected data for you. Charge Dash does not enable or manage this setting.

Notifications

Charging alerts are optional. The Watch asks for notification permission after you enable alerts. Notifications identify a device that needs charging and may include its estimated empty time. Apple controls notification delivery and settings.

No ads, tracking or sale of your data

The apps contain no advertising, third-party analytics or cross-app tracking. We do not sell your battery data or share it with advertisers or data brokers. There is no separate Charge Dash account.

This website is separate from the apps. chargedash.app uses Google Analytics, which sets cookies and sends your page views, approximate location and device and browser details to Google. That measures visits to this site only. It has no access to your battery data, which never leaves your devices and your private iCloud. You can opt out with Google's browser add-on.

Retention and deletion

Saved readings remain locally and in your private iCloud database until they are replaced or removed. The app's Delete all battery data action clears saved readings and preferences, then starts collecting current readings again, so active devices can reappear. If iCloud is unavailable, cloud deletion waits until the app can reconnect. Apple controls removal from its services and backups.

Removing the app from one device does not by itself remove copies on your other devices or in iCloud. We cannot retrieve or delete your private iCloud battery data on your behalf.

Contact

If you contact us, we receive the contact details and message you choose to send so we can respond. This is separate from the app's battery sync.

Send privacy questions through the Nimblesite contact form. It is the only contact channel we publish; we do not publish an email address.
