StrideWise Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 14, 2026

This policy explains what information the StrideWise iOS app ("StrideWise", "the app") uses, what stays on your device, what is shared if you choose to join The Herd, and the choices you have. StrideWise is published by Atlantic Software Group LLC ("we", "us").

The short version

• Your Health and Screen Time data stay on your iPhone. We never upload your step counts, workouts or app usage.
• The Herd is optional. If you join, we store an account identifier, the nickname you choose, and a short progress summary so your friends can see how you're doing.
• We do not sell your data, use it for advertising, or track you across other apps and websites.
• You can delete your Herd account at any time inside the app, even without an active subscription.

Information that stays on your device

Apple Health (HealthKit). With your permission, StrideWise reads your step count, workouts and active energy from Apple Health. It uses this to calculate the unlock time you earn, your daily scores and your progress. HealthKit data is processed only on your device. It is never sent to us or to anyone else, never sold, and never used for advertising or marketing. StrideWise does not write any data to Apple Health.

Screen Time. StrideWise uses Apple's Screen Time frameworks (Family Controls, Device Activity and Managed Settings) to block the apps and websites you choose and to lift those blocks during sessions you start. Apple gives the app anonymous tokens for your selections, not the names of the apps or what you do inside them. Your selections, schedules and session history stay on your device.

Your progress and settings. Your step goal, earned and spent minutes, daily scores, stage, streak history, schedules and other settings are stored locally on your iPhone.

Notifications. Reminders and session alerts are scheduled locally on your device. We do not send push notifications through our servers.

Motion data. StrideWise does not use motion and fitness data from the device's motion coprocessor. Steps come from Apple Health only.

Information we collect if you join The Herd

The Herd lets you connect with friends and see each other's progress. Using it is optional, and nothing described in this section leaves your device unless you sign in to The Herd.

When you sign in with Apple, our Herd service receives:

• A user identifier. An identifier issued by Sign in with Apple. We use it to keep your Herd account separate from everyone else's.
• Your name and email address, if you choose to share them. Apple lets you hide your email address; in that case we receive a private relay address. We do not use your email address for marketing.

While you use The Herd, we store:

• Your nickname. The name you choose is shown to the friends you connect with.
• A progress summary. Your Strideling stage, your strong-day streak, a simple status for today (for example "on track" or "rest day"), and the date you were last active. This summary does not include your step counts, workouts, Health data or Screen Time data.
• Your friend connections and invite codes. Who you are connected with, who you have blocked, and the invite codes you create.
• Reports. If you report another member, we store the reason and any details you add so the report can be reviewed.

We use this information only to run The Herd: to show your nickname and progress to your friends, to let you add, remove and block people, and to review reports. Your nickname and progress summary are visible only to the people you have connected with.

Purchases

Subscriptions are sold and billed by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive your payment card details. The app checks your subscription status with Apple to unlock its features.

Service providers

Herd data is stored with Supabase, which provides our database and authentication service, on servers in the United States. Supabase processes this data on our behalf and only to provide the service. Sign in with Apple is provided by Apple. We do not share Herd data with any other company.

What we don't do

• We don't sell your personal information.
• We don't use your information for advertising or share it with advertisers or data brokers.
• We don't track you across apps or websites owned by other companies.
• We don't include third-party analytics or advertising tools in the app.

Keeping and deleting your information

Information on your device stays until you delete it or delete the app.

Herd information is kept while your Herd account exists. You can delete your Herd account at any time in the app under the Herd account settings, including when you don't have an active subscription. Deleting your account removes your Herd account, nickname, progress summary, friend connections and invite codes from our service, and asks Apple to revoke StrideWise's Sign in with Apple access. Reports you filed are removed; reports other people filed about you are kept without your identity attached. Deleting your Herd account does not cancel your subscription, which you manage in your Apple Account settings.

Security

Herd data is sent over encrypted connections and protected by access rules that let each person read only their own information and the information their friends share with them. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information and keep what we collect to a minimum.

Children

StrideWise is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through The Herd. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal information, or to object to how we use it. You can delete your Herd account in the app, and you can contact us for any other request. We will not treat you differently for exercising these rights.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page. If a change materially affects how we use your information, we will let you know in the app.
