Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 14, 2025

Overview

Falcata Run ("the App") is a sprint training application for Apple Watch and iPhone. Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains what data the App collects, how it is used, and your rights.

Data Collection

Falcata Run does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data on external servers. All data stays on your devices and in your personal iCloud account.

Data Stored Locally on Your Devices

  • Sprint data: Duration, distance, reaction time, G-force, step count, cadence, stride length, arm drive metrics, and acceleration/gyroscope curves.
  • Session data: Training session timestamps, weather conditions, and aggregate statistics.
  • User statistics: Personal bests, averages, and lifetime totals.

HealthKit Data

The App reads and writes data to Apple HealthKit with your permission:

  • Written: Running workouts (HKWorkout), including duration, distance, calories, heart rate, and route data.
  • Read: Heart rate variability (HRV) and resting heart rate for recovery insights.

HealthKit data is governed by Apple's privacy policies and is never shared with third parties by the App.

Location Data

The App uses GPS location during active workouts for:

  • Distance verification (sprints 60m and above)
  • Route recording for Apple Fitness map display
  • GPS Doppler speed fusion for accurate velocity estimation

Location data is only collected during active workouts and is stored locally on your device and in HealthKit. It is never sent to external servers.

iCloud

If you have iCloud enabled, the App may sync sprint curve data to your personal iCloud Drive for backup and cross-device access. This data is protected by your Apple ID and Apple's iCloud encryption.

No Third-Party Services

Falcata Run does not use any third-party analytics, advertising, tracking, or data processing services. There are no SDKs, no telemetry, and no external network requests beyond Apple's own services (HealthKit, iCloud, App Store).

Data Sharing

We do not sell, share, or transfer any of your data to third parties. Period.

Data Retention

All data remains on your devices until you delete it. You can delete individual sessions from within the App, or remove the App entirely to delete all local data. iCloud data can be managed through your Apple ID settings.

Children's Privacy

The App does not knowingly collect data from children under 13. The App does not require any account creation or personal information input.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
