Breathe: Pollen and Air Quality, a Garmin Connect IQ watch face.
Last updated: 11 August 2026
To show pollen and air quality for the place you are in, Breathe needs to know roughly where that is. Once per hour it sends a single request containing:
That is the entire content of the request. Breathe does not send your name, your email address, a device identifier, an account, your heart rate, your activities, or anything else the watch knows about you.
The coordinates are used to pick one cell of a weather forecast grid and to return the values for that cell. They are not written to any database, not attached to any profile, and not used to build a history of where you have been. Once the response is sent, the request is over.
The service runs on Cloudflare Workers. Requests therefore pass through Cloudflare's infrastructure, which processes them for delivery, security and abuse prevention under Cloudflare's own privacy policy.
Your last known coordinates and the most recent readings are stored locally on the watch, so the watch face can keep showing values between updates and so the background service knows where to ask about. This data never leaves the watch except as the hourly request described above. Removing the watch face removes it.
Because no personal data is retained on the server, there is no stored record to access, correct, export or erase. You can stop all transmission at any time by switching to a different watch face or uninstalling Breathe, and you can withhold location permission in the Garmin Connect app, in which case the watch face simply shows no data.
If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, the legal basis for processing your approximate location is your consent, given through the location permission on your watch, and it can be withdrawn at any time as above.
Breathe is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect data from them.
If the data the watch face sends ever changes, this page changes with it and the date at the top is updated.
