Privacy Policy

PaceWise · Last updated 4 July 2026

Data we collect

None. PaceWise does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal information or usage data. We have no servers, no accounts, and no analytics.

Data stored on your device

Any information you enter into PaceWise stays on your device. It is not sent to us or to any third party. Deleting the app removes this data from your device.

PaceWise can back up your data to a file when you ask it to. The backup is created on your device and saved wherever you choose (for example the Files app, or a cloud folder you control). It is never sent to us — where it goes is entirely up to you.

Device permissions

PaceWise works fully offline and needs no permissions for its core features. A few optional features use device permissions; each is off until you use it, and everything they touch stays on your device. One — Add to Calendar on a dated race — uses your device's calendar. If you choose to use it, PaceWise adds a single all-day event for your race to the calendar you pick, and may update or remove that same event when you change or delete the race. PaceWise reads your calendar only to find the event it created (so it can keep it in sync rather than adding duplicates); it does not read, store, or transmit any of your other calendar data. You can deny or revoke Calendar access at any time in your device's Settings (iOS or Android), and the rest of PaceWise keeps working. This all happens on your device — nothing is sent to us.

On iPhone, some optional features use Apple Health. All of them are read-only — PaceWise never writes anything back to Health — and everything it reads is processed entirely on your device; nothing is sent to us. If you grant Health access, PaceWise reads your running workouts for two things: Import from Health on the Personal Bests screen (finding your fastest 5K, 10K, half, and full marathon times and offering them to you as Personal Bests — only the race times you choose to save are kept), and the Weekly distance view and its home-screen widget (your recent weekly running volume, refreshed when you use the app). By default PaceWise never reads Health in the background; if you turn on “Update widget in the background” (off unless you enable it), it also checks for new runs in the background so the widget stays current after a run. Separately, if you tap “Fill age & sex from Apple Health” in the athlete profile, PaceWise reads your date of birth and biological sex once, to set up age-graded times — never in the background, and it reads no other health data. You can deny or revoke Health access at any time in the iOS Settings or Health app, and the rest of PaceWise keeps working. On Android, the equivalent import reads from Health Connect — see the next section.

Two more optional features use device permissions in the same on-device way. A profile photo in the athlete editor can use your camera or photo library; the photo is stored only on your device, alongside the rest of your PaceWise data. And as described above, Add to Calendar touches only the race-day events PaceWise itself creates.

Health Connect (Android)

On Android, PaceWise can read your recorded running workouts from Health Connect — the on-device, encrypted health store — to help you find your fastest recorded times. This is entirely optional and off until you ask for it.

What we read. With your permission, PaceWise reads your exercise sessions (running and treadmill runs) and their distance from Health Connect. It uses these only to identify your fastest recorded 5K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon, which you can then choose to save as Personal Bests.

When we read it. Only when you tap Import from Health, or — if you have already granted permission — to show how many new results are available. PaceWise never reads your health data in the background.

What we never do. PaceWise never writes anything back to Health Connect, never sends your health data off your device, and never shares it with us or any third party. PaceWise has no internet permission; all of this happens on your phone. We keep only the personal-best entries you explicitly choose to save, stored locally on your device.

Your control. You can grant or revoke PaceWise's access to Health Connect at any time in Settings → Health Connect (or the Health Connect app). Revoking it simply hides the import feature; nothing else changes.

Third-party services

PaceWise does not integrate any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services.

Children's privacy

Because PaceWise collects no data, it does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children under 13.
