Cadence Coach
Privacy

Privacy policy

The short version: Cadence Coach works without an account, your training data stays on your devices, and nothing is shared unless you switch it on.

Last updated 30 September 2026Applies to Cadence Coach for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch

1. No account, no personal profile

Cadence Coach has no login and no user profile on any server. We — Fysiohverdag, Ronny Eliassen — do not receive your name, email address, location or training data from the app.

2. Data stored on your device

  • Sessions and settings: saved interval sessions, preferences, heart-rate zones and profile values (for example age and resting heart rate).
  • Session archive and insights: heart rate, cadence and speed recorded during a session (about once per second), and the insights and coaching history created from them.

You can see what is stored, export it (JSON or CSV) and delete it in Settings → Your data. Deleting the app also deletes this data.

3. Apple Health

With your permission, the app reads workouts, heart rate, steps, walking/running distance, running-form metrics (stride length, ground contact time, vertical oscillation, running power), resting heart rate, date of birth and biological sex from Apple Health, to show your session history, heart-rate zones, trends and coaching on your device. With your permission, it writes your running sessions to Apple Health as workouts.

Health data is never sent to us, never used for advertising and never sold. You can change access at any time in the Health app.

4. Sensors and devices

  • Motion sensors measure cadence and running form in real time.
  • Bluetooth connects to heart-rate straps and compatible (FTMS) treadmills.
  • Camera (optional): the front camera analyses running form on a treadmill. Video is processed on your device only and is never recorded or saved.
  • Local network (Studio): heart rate and cadence from Apple Watch are passed from your iPhone to your iPad on your own network. Nothing leaves your devices.
  • Apple Watch exchanges session data directly with your iPhone.

5. On-device AI coach

Coaching tips are generated on your device using Apple’s on-device model (Apple Intelligence), or by built-in templates on devices without it. Your data is not sent to any AI service.

6. Anonymous usage statistics

To improve the app we use TelemetryDeck, a privacy-focused analytics service. It receives anonymous events such as “session started”, “paywall shown” or “setting changed”, together with app version, device model, operating-system version and language, using a random, hashed identifier that cannot be linked to you. It never receives heart rate, cadence, speed, location or other health data.

If you installed the app from an Apple Search Ads campaign, the app asks Apple’s AdServices framework for the campaign attribution (campaign and keyword identifiers) and includes it in these anonymous events. It is not linked to your identity.

7. Strava (optional)

If you connect Strava, finished workouts are uploaded to your Strava account as FIT files (duration, heart rate, cadence, distance). The connection uses Strava’s own sign-in, and the access token is stored in your device’s Keychain. Strava’s privacy policy applies to data you upload. You can disconnect at any time in Settings → Strava & Apple Health.

8. Purchases

Premium is a one-time in-app purchase processed by Apple. We never see your payment details. We receive anonymous purchase events (for example “purchase completed” and the price shown) through TelemetryDeck, and aggregated sales reports from Apple.

9. Children

The app is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from them.

10. Changes and contact

If the way the app handles data changes, this page will be updated and the date above changed.
