Privacy Policy

ShareTheStoke is built to be private. There is no account to create, no social feed and no advertising. Your sessions live on your own iPhone and Apple Watch. This policy explains the few cases where information does reach us: when you share a session as a web link, when you visit this website, and when you email us.

The short version

• Your tracked sessions, location, motion and health data stay on your devices. We never see them unless you choose to share a session as a link.
• Sharing a session as a link publishes only what you choose to share, and you can delete it.
• The app sends anonymous usage events, such as "a session was recorded", so we can improve it. They never include your location, route or health data, and you can turn them off in Settings.
• This website uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors find us. In Europe it only does so after you accept.
• We don't sell personal information, and we don't use it for advertising.

The app

The app records your sessions on your Apple Watch and iPhone, using GPS location, motion sensors, the barometer and, with your permission, heart rate. Each session is saved as a file on your iPhone, where you can see it in the Files app, export it or delete it. We do not receive this data, and the app doesn't ask you to sign in.

If you allow it, the app saves your workouts, including the route and heart rate, to Apple Health. Health data stays in Apple Health on your devices. We never use it for advertising or marketing, and we never sell it or share it with anyone.

The app sends anonymous usage events to Google Analytics for Firebase, so we can see which features are used and where people get stuck. An event says what happened, such as a session recorded, a replay opened, a card shared or Lifetime Access unlocked, with summary details like the sport, duration, distance and number of jumps. Events never include your location, route, spot names, titles, notes, heart rate or anything else that identifies you. The app doesn't use the advertising identifier and doesn't track you across other apps. You can turn usage events off at any time in the app's Settings.

The map in the app loads map tiles from OpenFreeMap, which sees the area of the map being shown and your IP address, as any web request does. It doesn't receive your track.

Shared pages

When you choose to share a session as a web link, the app uploads what you picked to share and publishes it at an unlisted address on sharethestoke.app. That can include:

• the image or video you made in the app
• the stats, sport, date and route shown on it
• any title or spot name you added

The app also sends a random identifier made on your phone, so that only your device can change or delete your links. It isn't tied to your name, email address or Apple ID.

Anyone who has the link can see the page, and the people you send it to may pass it on. We ask search engines not to list shared pages. A shared page stays up until you delete it from the app, until you ask us to remove it by emailing privacy@sharethestoke.app with its link, or until we remove it for breaking our Terms. Visits to shared pages are counted with Google Analytics, as described below.

This website

We use Google Analytics (measurement ID G-EKD04CE5S1) to understand how many people visit, which pages they read, where they came from (for example a search engine, a social post or an ad), and whether they go on to the App Store. Google Analytics sets cookies named _ga and _ga_* and receives your IP address, browser and device type, approximate location, the pages you view and the links you click. Google doesn't keep IP addresses for Analytics, and we don't send Google your name, email address or anything that identifies you directly.

When you arrive from a link that carries campaign details, such as utm_source or utm_campaign, a referral code like ?ref=, or an ad network's click identifier, we record which campaign or code brought you so we can tell which campaigns work. For an ad click identifier we record only which network it came from. Once analytics is allowed, the site keeps that campaign in your browser's storage (sts_first and sts_touch) so that a later visit to the App Store is credited to the right campaign. Your consent choice is kept the same way (sts_consent).

Your choice. If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, analytics cookies stay off until you accept them, and Google only receives basic cookieless signals until then. You can change your mind at any time with Cookie settings at the bottom of every page. Declining clears the analytics cookies and the stored campaign from your browser. Anywhere, you can also block analytics with Google's opt-out browser add-on or your browser's tracking protection. Advertising features of Google Analytics are turned off.

The site is hosted by Cloudflare, which processes your IP address and request details to deliver pages and protect the site from abuse. We also use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts page loads and measures how fast pages load without cookies or any identifier for you.

Email

If you email us, we keep your message and our reply so we can help you and follow up. We don't add you to a mailing list unless you ask to be added.

Purchases

Any purchases in the app are handled by Apple. We don't receive your payment details. Apple tells us about each purchase, refund or revocation: the product, price, currency, country and date, with Apple's transaction number. That doesn't include your name, email address or Apple ID. If you write to us about a purchase, we can look up its order number from Apple's receipt to help you.

Who we share information with

We don't sell or rent personal information, and we don't share it for cross-context behavioural advertising. We use these service providers, which process information on our behalf:

We may also disclose information if the law requires it or to protect people's safety. These providers may process information in the United States and other countries, under safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

How long we keep it

• Shared pages: until you or we delete them.
• Google Analytics data: 14 months, then deleted by Google.
• Emails: as long as needed to help you, and no longer than three years after our last exchange.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, including under the GDPR, the UK GDPR and California law, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or get a copy of your personal information, to object to or restrict how we use it, and to withdraw consent. To use any of these rights, email privacy@sharethestoke.app. Because there are no accounts, include the link of any shared page you are asking about. We won't treat you differently for using your rights. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.

Children

ShareTheStoke isn't directed to children under 13, and in Europe under 16. We don't knowingly collect personal information from them. If you think a child has shared a page, email us and we'll remove it.

Changes

If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the bottom of this page. If a change is significant, we'll say so on this site and in the app.
