Privacy Policy

Introduction

Chalk Track ("the App") is a climbing workout tracking app that helps you log your climbing sessions, track progress, and analyze your training. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data.

Information We Collect

1. Climbing Workout Data

The App stores information about your climbing sessions, including:

• Workout type (Bouldering, Lead, Top Rope, Hangboard, etc.)
• Date and time of sessions
• Climbing grades and attempts
• Session notes
• Hangboard protocol data (hangs, rests, reps)

Storage: This data is stored locally on your device using SwiftData (Apple's local database).

2. HealthKit Data (Optional)

If you grant permission, the App can:

• Write climbing sessions to HealthKit as workouts
• Read your HealthKit workouts to display in the App's metrics

Important: HealthKit data is stored solely in Apple's Health app on your device. We do not access, transmit, or store HealthKit data on any external servers.

3. iCloud Sync (Optional)

If you enable iCloud sync, your workout data is backed up to your personal iCloud account. This allows you to sync data across multiple iOS devices.

• Storage: Your personal iCloud account (encrypted by Apple)
• Transmission: End-to-end encrypted between your devices
• Access: Only you can access your iCloud data

4. App Session Data

The App uses App Groups to share data between the main app and the Live Activity widget (Lock Screen/Dynamic Island). This data is stored locally on your device and never transmitted externally.

5. Crash Logs (Optional)

We do not use third-party crash reporting or analytics services (such as Firebase or Sentry). We only receive anonymized crash reports and basic usage statistics provided by Apple through App Store Connect if you have opted-in to share that information with developers in your iOS settings

6. In-App Purchases (Pay What You Want) (Optional)

If you choose to support the App through a "Pay What You Want" purchase:

• Transaction Handling: All transactions are processed securely by Apple via the App Store.
• Financial Data: We do not collect or have access to your name, credit card number, billing address, or any other financial information.
• Purchase Records: We receive an anonymized transaction identifier from Apple to confirm the purchase and unlock features. This data is not linked to your identity.

Information We Do NOT Collect

We do not collect:

• Personal identity information (name, email, phone number)
• Location data
• Device identifiers
• Usage analytics
• Any data for advertising purposes

Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for any purpose.

Your data is only shared in the following ways:

1. iCloud Sync: With your personal iCloud account (if enabled)
2. HealthKit: With Apple's Health app on your device (if you grant permission)
3. Widget: Between the app and the widget via App Groups (local only)
4. Apple: For processing In-App Purchases and validating your transaction status.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your data:

• Local storage: Data is stored using SwiftData (Apple's secure local database)
• iCloud sync: Encrypted via Apple's end-to-end encryption
• HealthKit: Protected by Apple's HealthKit security framework
• No external servers: We do not operate any external servers that receive your data

Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to:

1. Access your data: All your data is visible within the App
2. Delete your data: You can delete individual workouts or all data via the App's settings. Because your data is stored locally and in your personal iCloud, we cannot recover deleted data for you. Once you delete a workout or use the 'Delete All Data' feature, it is permanently removed from your device and iCloud sync

   You have full control over your data. Because the App operates without a central database or user accounts, the following technical details apply to data deletion:

   Deleting Individual Records

   You can delete specific workouts or hangboard sessions within the App. Once deleted, the record is removed from your local SwiftData database and the change is pushed to your iCloud (if enabled).

   "Clear All Data" (The Nuclear Option)

   Within the App Settings, you can choose to "Clear All Data."
   • Local: This wipes the local database on your device immediately.
   • iCloud: If sync is active, this will also remove the records from your personal iCloud container.
   • Permanence: This action cannot be undone. Since we do not store your data on our own servers, we have no "backup" to restore for you.

   Deleting the App

   Deleting the App from your device will remove all locally stored data. However, if iCloud sync was enabled, your data remains in your personal iCloud storage. To fully wipe your data, we recommend using the "Clear All Data" feature within the App before deleting it.
3. Disable iCloud sync: You can turn off iCloud sync in your device settings. Go to iOS Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud > Show All > Toggle off Chalk Track.
4. Revoke HealthKit access: You can revoke HealthKit permissions in iOS Settings > Health > Data Access & Devices > Toggle off Chalk Track.

HealthKit Disclosure

HealthKit data is used solely for the purpose of recording and viewing your climbing workouts within the App and Apple's Health app. We will not:

• Access HealthKit data for any other purpose
• Sell or disclose HealthKit data to third parties
• Use HealthKit data for advertising or marketing

Children's Privacy

The App is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Business Transfer

If the App is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your data (which remains local to your device or iCloud) remains subject to this policy.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by:

• Updating the "Effective Date" at the top of this policy
• Providing 30 daysnotice within the App (for significant changes)
