Power Nap Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 24, 2026
Power Nap is a Garmin Connect IQ watch app for short rest sessions. The app is designed to run on the watch without an account, server, companion phone service, advertising, third-party analytics, or internet access.
Data handled by the app
The app may handle the following data on the Garmin watch:
- App preferences, including nap duration, selected profile, timer delay, and Do Not Disturb reminder setting.
- Active timer state while a nap or Settle delay is running.
- A locally generated session identifier and start, end, and save timestamps.
- Selected profile and planned nap and Settle durations.
- Actual Settle, nap, and total elapsed durations.
- Whether the session ended during Settle or Nap, manually or when the timer completed.
- An optional post-nap rating selected by the user.
- Average, minimum, and maximum heart rate when provided by the Garmin device.
- Average SpO2 when provided by the Garmin device.
- Average respiration rate when provided by the Garmin device.
- Daily calorie delta when provided by the Garmin device.
- Do Not Disturb status at nap start and nap end.
Available health values may be sampled while the timer is running. The app stores only the compact summary values listed above, not a raw sample-by-sample health timeline.
Local history and insights
Power Nap calculates recent history, 7-day and 30-day summaries, and personal duration insights on the watch from locally stored nap summaries and optional ratings. These calculations do not upload data or create a cloud profile.
Data sharing
Power Nap does not send data to an external server, does not sell user data, and does not include third-party analytics or advertising.
Network access
Power Nap does not request Connect IQ internet communication permissions.
Location data
Power Nap does not request location permissions and does not collect GPS or location data.
Garmin Connect activities
Power Nap does not record Garmin FIT activities. Nap summaries are kept only in the app's local Connect IQ app storage on the watch.
Data retention and deletion
Power Nap retains up to the 60 newest compact nap summaries on the watch. The user can delete an individual saved nap and can change or clear its optional rating. Deleting the app removes its local Connect IQ app storage.
Medical use
Power Nap is a wellness timer and history app. It is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or health condition.
