Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 23, 2025

1. Overview

Pace & Plates helps you log workouts, runs, and body weight on your iPhone. Your data stays on your device and, if you enable iCloud for the app, in your private iCloud account. We do not run our own backend for your content, do not sell your data, and do not use tracking/advertising SDKs.

2. Data We Handle

  • Workout data (your content): exercises, sets/reps/weight, notes.
  • Running data (your content): distance, duration, route (encoded GPS points), optional notes.
  • Body weight (your content): dated weight entries.
  • Health data (optional): read/write via Apple Health (HealthKit), e.g., saving a run as a workout.
  • Location (optional): precise location for run tracking and local weather. Location is not collected by the developer.
  • Diagnostics: none sent to us. Apple may provide anonymized crash info if you opted in at the OS level.
  • Identifiers: no IDFA; no cross-app tracking.

3. How We Use Data

  • App features: show, edit, and chart your workouts, runs, and weight.
  • Integrations: save runs to Apple Health (with permission); show local weather; optionally show a Live Activity.
  • Preferences: unit selection (metric/imperial) only affects on-device formatting.

4. Storage Locations

  • On-device: all logs and preferences are saved locally.
  • iCloud (CloudKit, Private Database): if enabled, your data syncs privately under your Apple ID. We (the developer) cannot access your private CloudKit data.
  • Apple services: HealthKit, WeatherKit, MapKit, ActivityKit operate under Apple's terms. We do not receive those requests.

5. Third-Party SDKs/Services

Apple frameworks only: HealthKit, CloudKit (Private DB), MapKit, WeatherKit, ActivityKit, Core Location, SwiftData. No advertising or analytics SDKs.

6. Sharing

  • We do not share your data with third parties.
  • We do not sell your data.
  • We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or cross-app tracking.

7. Permissions You Control

  • Health (HealthKit): grant/deny per data type in Health app → Sharing.
  • Location: grant/deny in Settings → Privacy → Location Services.
  • Notifications/Live Activities: grant/deny in Settings → Notifications.
  • iCloud sync: enable/disable in Settings → [Your Name] → iCloud → Show All → Pace & Plates.

8. Retention

Your data remains until you delete it. You can remove entries individually in the app at any time.

9. How to Delete Your Data

  • In-app: delete workouts, sets, runs, and weight entries directly, or in the app's settings.
  • Health data: Health app → delete items saved by Pace & Plates.
  • iCloud data: Settings → [Your Name] → iCloud → Apps Using iCloud → Pace & Plates → turn off and remove data.
  • Remove app: deleting the app removes on-device data; use the iCloud step above to remove cloud copies.
  • Export/Import: Settings → Backup lets you export a JSON backup and re-import it later.

10. Children's Privacy

Pace & Plates is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

11. Security

We rely on Apple platform security for on-device data and CloudKit's authentication/encryption for iCloud. We do not run independent servers.

12. International Transfers

Data stored in iCloud is handled by Apple under your Apple ID and Apple's terms. We do not operate separate servers or transfers.

13. Changes

We may update this policy when features change. We will update the effective date and our App Store disclosures accordingly.
