Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

• Health & Fitness data: sleep duration, heart rate variability (HRV), resting heart rate, and workout records read from Apple HealthKit and written back after each run.
• Location data: GPS coordinates, route, pace, and elevation recorded during outdoor runs via CoreLocation (when-in-use only).
• Photo Library: when you share a run card, the exported image is saved to your photo library. We do not read or browse your existing photos.
• Training and run data: distance, duration, splits, heart rate, workout type, and personal records stored locally and, where applicable, synced to our custom API backend.
• Usage data: in-app events such as feature taps, screen views, and session lengths collected for analytics purposes.
• Device identifiers: an advertising identifier or anonymous device ID collected in connection with App Tracking Transparency and analytics.
• Subscription and purchase information: transaction receipts processed by StoreKit to verify and manage your subscription status.

How We Use Information

• Generating and adapting your training plan based on your recovery signals (sleep, HRV, resting heart rate).
• Delivering personalised coaching insights, post-run summaries, and weekly load analysis.
• Tracking streaks, XP, ranks, achievements, and personal records.
• Enabling the ghost-pacer feature by referencing your past run data.
• Verifying subscription status and unlocking premium features via StoreKit receipts.
• Analysing aggregate, de-identified usage patterns to improve app features and performance.
• Diagnosing crashes and technical issues to maintain app stability.

Device Permissions And Sensitive Data

• Health (Read & Write): reads recovery metrics from Apple Health and writes completed workouts back. Data is processed on-device and, where synced, sent to our backend over an encrypted connection.
• Location (When In Use): records your GPS route during an active run. Location is not collected in the background and is not used for advertising.
• Photo Library (Add Only): saves shareable run cards you choose to export. We do not access, read, or transmit your existing photos.
• App Tracking Transparency: we request permission before linking your device identifier to analytics or advertising data. You may decline and core app functionality will not be affected.

How We Share Information

• Service providers: our custom API backend processes run and training data to support coaching features. These providers are contractually bound to use your data only as directed by us.
• Analytics partners: de-identified or aggregated usage data may be shared with analytics services to help us understand how the app is used.
• Legal requirements: we may disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of users or the public.
• Business transfers: if Cadence Running is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your data may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any change in ownership or use of your data.
