Babyphone Nachtwache

Baby monitor with cry detection — audio and video directly between your devices, no cloud

Privacy policy

Last updated: 5 September 2026

Babyphone Nachtwache connects a baby station (the device next to the baby) with one or more parent stations. We run no server for this app, and there is no account or login. Audio, video and status messages travel directly over your Wi-Fi or – when the devices are close together – over a direct wireless link between the devices. The connection is encrypted with the pairing code that only your devices know. We receive no data.

3. Permissions on your device

The app requests only the following permissions. Each of them can be revoked at any time in your device settings; the app remains usable afterwards, with reduced functionality.

Microphone — On the baby station: listening and detecting crying. On the parent station: only while you hold the talk button.
Camera — Live image from the baby station, only when a parent turns on video; scanning the pairing code. No image is stored.
Local network — So that the baby and parent stations can find each other on Wi-Fi and connect directly.
Notifications — Alarm on the parent station when the baby cries or the connection is lost.
Media library / Apple Music — Only if you choose favourite music on the baby station. Playback via Apple Music is subject to Apple's privacy policy.

4. Legal bases

We process personal data under the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (revFADP). Where the GDPR applies, we rely on:

Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) — everything needed for the app to deliver the function you requested.
Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) — secure and stable operation, abuse prevention, troubleshooting.
Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) — for anything you actively enable in this app: the microphone (baby station: listening; parent station: only while talking), the camera (live image and scanning the pairing code), the local network (direct connection of your devices), notifications (alarms) and the media library (only if you choose music). Consent can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future by revoking the permission in your system settings.
Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR) — in particular commercial and tax retention duties for payments.

5. Recipients and third parties

No disclosure. This app does not transmit any data to us or to third parties. No analytics, advertising or tracking components are embedded.

6. Retention and deletion

We store nothing because we run no server for this app. Audio and video are transmitted live only and are not recorded. The night log and the pairing are kept only on your devices and disappear on uninstall.

Step-by-step instructions are available at Delete data.

7. Children and young people

This app is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16. If we learn that such data has been submitted without parental consent, we delete it without delay.

8. Data security

Wherever the app transmits data at all, connections are encrypted via HTTPS/TLS. On the server side we use access restrictions, tenant separation and regular backups. Nobody can, however, guarantee absolute security for data transmission over the internet.

9. Your rights

Access to the personal data we process
Rectification of inaccurate data
Erasure or destruction of your data
Restriction of and objection to processing
Receiving or porting your data in a common format
Withdrawal of consent with effect for the future

An informal message to info@babala.ch or a call to 076 792 63 50. We normally respond within 30 days. To verify your identity we may request suitable proof. You may also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Switzerland: FDPIC; EU: your competent authority).
