Delete Data

Scanning setting

Keep Screen Lit For Scanning
Enabled by default in Garmin Connect IQ settings. Code pages request full backlight brightness for a bounded scanning window when the watch permits it.

Privacy

CodesWallet stores your code labels, values, groups, Favorites and settings locally on your Garmin watch. The watch app has no network permission and does not send this data to the developer. The developer does not collect, sell or share your saved codes or other personal data through the watch app.

If you configure CodesWallet with Garmin Connect IQ, Garmin handles delivery of those settings under Garmin's own privacy practices. If you voluntarily use this website's Feedback & Support form, the message, feedback type, optional rating, optional email address and submission time are stored so the developer can read and respond to it. The submission is processed using Cloudflare and may be emailed to the developer using Resend; it is not sold or used for advertising.

Treat saved codes as credentials. PIN Lock helps prevent casual viewing, but it is not encryption. Avoid storing passwords, financial secrets or credentials whose issuer prohibits copying.
