Privacy Policy.

With your permission, Pace reads the following from Apple Health so your daily plan and progress screens reflect your real activity:

• Steps, distance, flights climbed, calories, and workouts
• Heart rate and heart rate variability
• Weight, height, and body measurements
• Sleep, stand hours, walking speed, and walking steadiness

This data is read directly from HealthKit on your device and is used only to power the app's own screens (Today, Health, Progress). It is never transmitted to us, to any server, or to any third party.

When you log a weight entry or complete a walk in the app, Pace writes that entry back to Apple Health, with your permission, so your records stay consistent across apps.

When you start a tracked walk, Pace uses your location to draw the route map and calculate distance and pace, including while your screen is locked so the recording isn't interrupted. This route data is stored only on your device (and, if you use iCloud, may sync privately across your own devices via Apple's infrastructure). It is never uploaded to us and is only shared if you explicitly choose to share a walk or a progress card.

If you choose to add a photo as the background of a shareable progress card, Pace accesses your camera or photo library only for that purpose, with your permission. Photos you don't explicitly choose are never accessed.

Your profile, goals, weight history, walk history, and streaks are stored locally on your device using Apple's on-device storage (and, if enabled, synced privately between your own devices via your personal iCloud account — Apple's infrastructure, not ours). We do not operate a database of user data and cannot see it.

Pace uses a privacy-respecting analytics tool (PostHog) to understand which features are used, so we can improve the app. This is limited to anonymous product events (for example, “onboarding completed” or “walk logged”) and never includes your name, health data, location, weight, or any other personal or identifying information. We do not use this data for advertising, and we do not build cross-app or cross-site profiles of you.

Pace Essential is a one-time purchase handled entirely by Apple through the App Store's In-App Purchase system. We never see or store your payment details — Apple processes the transaction and tells the app whether you're entitled to Essential features. See Apple's own privacy policy for how App Store purchases are handled.

If you enable reminders, Pace schedules a local notification on your device at your chosen time. This is handled entirely by iOS on-device and involves no server or push service.

You can delete all data Pace has stored at any time from Settings → Delete My Data. This permanently removes your profile, weight history, walk history, streaks, and plan from your device. It does not delete data already written to Apple Health — you can manage or delete that separately from the Apple Health app, under your own control.

Pace is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.

If this policy changes, we'll update the effective date above. Continued use of the app after a change means you accept the updated policy.
