StrideLoop processes GPS and health data locally. Routes are not uploaded to any server. No ads, no tracking, no data selling — ever.
About StrideLoop
StrideLoop is a smart workout companion that plans distance‑based loop routes and tracks every step — from your iPhone to your Apple Watch. Whether you walk, run, or hike, StrideLoop generates routes from your current location, tracks real‑time stats with GPS, and provides detailed post‑workout breakdowns. The Apple Watch companion works standalone and syncs seamlessly with your iPhone.
What StrideLoop Collects
- Apple ID authentication — Sign in with Apple provides a secure, anonymous identifier; we never see your email unless you choose to share it
- Location data (GPS) — used in real time to generate routes, track your workout, and display your position on the map; processed entirely on your device
- HealthKit data — steps, distance, calories, heart rate, and exercise minutes are read from and written to Apple Health; this data never leaves your device
- Workout history — distance, duration, pace, heart rate, elevation, and GPS track stored locally on your device
- User preferences — daily goals, unit preferences, and saved routes stored on your device
All data is processed and stored locally on your device. StrideLoop does not operate any remote servers that store your personal or health data.
What StrideLoop Does Not Collect
- No background location tracking — GPS is only active during workouts; StrideLoop never tracks you in the background
- No health data uploads — HealthKit data stays on your device via Apple's secure framework
- No advertising identifiers — no IDFA, no ad SDKs, no tracking pixels
- No analytics that share or sell data
- No contacts, photos, or microphone access
- No route uploads — your GPS tracks are never sent to any server
What StrideLoop Never Does
- Never sells your data — to anyone, under any circumstances
- Never shares your location or health data with third parties
- Never uploads your GPS routes to remote servers
- Never displays ads or uses ad-tracking technology
Data Storage & Security
- On-device only — workout history, routes, and preferences are stored locally on your iPhone and Apple Watch
- HealthKit — health data is managed by Apple's HealthKit framework with its own encryption and access controls
- Sign in with Apple — authentication is handled entirely by Apple's secure identity service
- Account deletion — delete the app to remove all locally stored data; HealthKit data can be managed in the Health app
Core Features & Data Use
Generates distance-based loop routes from your current location using Google Maps. Your location is sent to Google's API to calculate the route — Google's privacy policy applies to this data. Routes are displayed on your device and can be saved locally.
GPS tracks your position during workouts to calculate distance, pace, and elevation. All processing happens on your device. GPS is only active during workouts, never in the background.
Tracks heart rate, distance, pace, and calories directly on your wrist. Workout data syncs to iPhone via WatchConnectivity — a direct device-to-device transfer with no cloud intermediary.
Reads steps, distance, calories, heart rate, and exercise minutes from HealthKit. Saves completed workouts back to Apple Health so they appear in your Activity rings. All health data stays on your device — we never access it remotely.
Third-Party Services
- Google Maps — used for route display and generation. Your approximate location is sent to Google to calculate routes. See Google's Privacy Policy
- Sign in with Apple — authentication handled by Apple. See Apple's Privacy Policy
StrideLoop does not use any advertising SDKs, analytics services, or tracking frameworks.
