Run / Walk privacy policy

This policy describes version 1.1 and later. Version 1.0 does not save workouts to Apple Health or record outdoor routes.

Your data stays with you

Run / Walk by Emily’s Apps has no account, advertising, analytics SDK or developer-operated server. The app does not send your personal data to us or track you across apps or websites.

What the app stores

Your interval settings and current or most recent timer state are stored locally so the timer can recover after you leave the app. The app does not keep a separate workout history; recordings you choose to save are stored in Apple Health. When you use the companion Watch app, your settings and timer state are shared between your paired devices through Apple’s WatchConnectivity service.

Apple Health

Phone-only mode does not start a Health workout or open the Watch app. In Phone + Watch mode, Health permissions let the Watch record your workout, heart rate, active calories and walking/running distance, and provide background interval alerts. You choose Save workout or Discard at the end. Saved workouts appear in Apple Health and Fitness. Health data is processed on your devices; it is not sent to Emily’s Apps. We use live workout measurements, not queries of your past workout history. Apple Watch activity may count toward your Activity rings.

Outdoor routes

For outdoor Watch workouts only, optional location access records your route. A route is saved with your workout in Apple Health. Indoor and phone-only workouts do not request or record location. You can deny location and still record a workout without a route map.

Notifications and Live Activities

Notifications provide interval alerts. Live Activities show timer information on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. This information may be visible to someone who can see your screen. These features use Apple’s system services; the app does not send remote push notifications.

Your choices and deletion

You can change Workouts access in the Health app or your device’s privacy settings, and change notifications and Live Activities in Settings. The timer remains usable without Health access, although background live updates and wrist alerts may be limited. End stops the current timer; save or discard the recording on your Watch. Deleting the app does not delete workouts already saved to Apple Health; manage those in Health or Fitness. To remove locally stored app data, delete the app from both your iPhone and Apple Watch. Device backups may retain app data according to your Apple backup settings. Apple manages its own Health and Activity data separately.
