Privacy

The short version: Gaitway runs no servers and collects nothing. There are no accounts, no analytics, no third-party SDKs, and nothing is transmitted anywhere except between your own Apple Watch and iPhone.

What the app stores, and where

• Workouts (distance, heart rate, energy, effort score, GPS route) are saved to Apple Health on your devices, under Apple Health's protections and your control.
• Route history used for fork predictions, segment comparisons and ghosts is stored only on your watch, and runs older than 12 months are deleted automatically (favourites excepted).
• Shoes and run history are stored only on your iPhone.

Permissions it asks for

• Health — to record workouts and show live heart rate.
• Motion & Fitness — step cadence, for telling walking from running and for auto-pause.
• Location — GPS during outdoor sessions, for distance, pace, maps and route learning.
• Notifications (iPhone) — only to tell you when a pair of trainers is due for replacement.

What leaves your devices

Nothing. Sync between watch and phone uses Apple's WatchConnectivity directly between your own devices. Deleting the apps deletes everything they stored outside Apple Health; Health data stays under your control in the Health app.
