PaceIQ by Audio Spot

PaceIQ — Developed by Audiospot

Last Updated: July 2026

1. INTRODUCTION

PaceIQ ("the App") is developed and operated by Audiospot ("we," "us," or "our").

This Privacy Policy describes how the App collects, uses, and stores information

when you use PaceIQ on iPhone and Apple Watch.

By using PaceIQ, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

2. DATA COLLECTION AND USE

2.1 Health Data (Apple HealthKit)

PaceIQ requests access to your Apple Health data for the sole purpose of

displaying and analyzing your workout performance. The following data types

may be read from Apple HealthKit, subject to your explicit authorization:

- Workout data (type, distance, duration, calories burned)

- Walking and running speed

- Heart rate (during workout and resting heart rate)

- Heart rate recovery (one-minute post-workout)

- Step count

- Running dynamics (stride length, ground contact time,

vertical oscillation, running power — Apple Watch Series 6+ only)

- Body mass and height (used for physiological calculations)

- Date of birth and biological sex (used to personalize

heart rate zone calculations)

When you complete a guided workout on your Apple Watch, PaceIQ saves that

workout — including its route and the standard workout metrics recorded

during the session — to Apple Health, so your training history stays together

with your other activity data. Apart from saving your own completed workouts,

PaceIQ does not write any other data to Apple Health. All HealthKit data

remains on your device. It is never transmitted to our servers, shared with

third parties, or used for advertising purposes.

2.2 Location Data

PaceIQ uses your device location for the following purposes only:

Apple Watch: GPS coordinates are used during active workout sessions to

calculate distance, pace, and route tracking.

iPhone: Location is used contextually when you access the Weather-Adjusted

Pace feature to fetch real-time weather conditions.

Location data is processed only for these purposes. Aside from your completed

workout's route, which is saved to Apple Health as described in Section 2.1,

it is not stored beyond the active session context.

PaceIQ does not operate its own servers, so your location is never

sent to any Audiospot server. When weather is needed, your location coordinates

are sent to a weather provider solely to retrieve conditions for that location:

Apple WeatherKit by default, or, if WeatherKit is unavailable,

a third-party weather service, Open-Meteo (https://open-meteo.com).

Only the coordinates required for the forecast are sent — no health data

or personal identifiers are included — and your location is never used for

advertising or to track you across other apps or websites.

2.3 Weather Data

When you use the Weather-Adjusted Pace feature, PaceIQ requests current

weather conditions (temperature, humidity, wind speed) for your location

via Apple WeatherKit. This data is used solely within the App to calculate

pace adjustments and is not stored on external servers.

2.4 Purchase and Subscription Data

PaceIQ uses Apple StoreKit 2 and a third-party service, RevenueCat,

to manage subscriptions (Free, Pro, and Elite tiers) and validate

in-app purchases. When you make a purchase, the payment is securely

processed by Apple. PaceIQ does not collect, store, or have access to

your payment information (such as credit card details). To manage your

subscription status across your devices and securely validate entitlements,

we share anonymous purchase receipt data and an anonymous App User ID

with RevenueCat. RevenueCat does not receive personal identifiable

information (like your name or email) from PaceIQ.

2.5 User Preferences and App Data

PaceIQ stores the following preferences locally on your device:

- Unit system preference (metric/imperial)

- Color scheme preference

- Language selection

- Default workout type

- Notification preferences

- Birth year (if provided during onboarding)

This data is stored in Apple UserDefaults and an App Group shared container

(used to share data between the iPhone app and Apple Watch app). It is never

transmitted externally.

2.6 AI Analyst Feature

The AI Analyst feature generates a structured workout summary that you may

voluntarily copy to your clipboard. This summary is assembled entirely on

your device. PaceIQ does not transmit this data anywhere. Any use of the

copied content with a third-party AI service is governed by that service's

own privacy policy.

2.7 Social Sharing

PaceIQ includes an optional sharing feature that lets you create a

shareable image of a completed workout. This image may include

your workout statistics (such as pace, distance, elapsed time,

and top speed), a drawing of your route, weather conditions,

and — if you choose photo mode — a photo you select from

your device. The image is composed entirely on your device.

Sharing only happens when you actively choose it.

When you do, PaceIQ hands the finished image to your

chosen destination — Instagram, Facebook, or the standard

iOS share sheet — using Apple's standard sharing mechanisms.

PaceIQ does not transmit this image to any Audiospot server, and it

uses no Instagram, Facebook, or Meta software development kit, analytics,

or tracking. Once the image reaches a third-party app such as Instagram

or Facebook, that app's own privacy policy governs how it is handled.

To support this feature, PaceIQ may access a photo you select as

the background of your share image, and — with your permission — may

save a generated share image to your device's photo library. Neither

action transmits your photos anywhere; they remain on your device

unless you choose to share them.

3. DATA STORAGE AND RETENTION

All health and fitness data collected by PaceIQ is stored on your device

using Apple's native frameworks: SwiftData, UserDefaults, and HealthKit.

PaceIQ does not operate its own external servers, databases, or cloud storage;

the only information held off your device is the anonymous subscription

data processed by RevenueCat, as described in the Data Sharing section.

Your data remains under your full control at all times.

Workout records stored within PaceIQ can be deleted at any time

from within the App or from Apple Health.

4. DATA SHARING

PaceIQ is designed with privacy in mind.

We do not sell your personal data, and we do not share your health

or personal fitness data with any third party for that third party's

own purposes. Your data leaves your device only in these limited cases:

- Weather: your location coordinates are sent to a weather provider

— Apple WeatherKit, or, as a fallback, the third-party service Open-Meteo (https://open-meteo.com)

— solely to retrieve current weather for your location.

- Subscriptions: anonymous purchase receipt data and an anonymous app

user identifier are processed by RevenueCat to validate your

subscription and manage your access tier.

- Install attribution: an anonymous Apple Search Ads attribution token

may be collected through Apple's AdServices framework (via RevenueCat)

to measure whether your installation originated from an Apple Search Ads campaign.

- Social sharing: when you explicitly choose to share a workout, the share image you generated — which may include your workout statistics, route, weather, and any photo you selected — is handed to your chosen destination (Instagram, Facebook, or the iOS share sheet) through Apple's standard sharing mechanisms. This happens only at your initiative.

We do not use third-party advertising networks, we do not display ads in the app,

and we do not track you across other companies' apps or websites.

Specifically, we continue to guarantee:

- No health or personal fitness data leaves your device automatically. It leaves your device only when you explicitly choose to share a workout image via the in-app sharing feature. Location data leaves your device only to fetch weather, as described above.

- No analytics services tracking your behavior (no Firebase, Mixpanel, etc.)

- No third-party advertising networks and no in-app ads.

PaceIQ collects only an anonymous Apple Search Ads attribution token

(via Apple AdServices, through RevenueCat) to measure install-campaign attribution;

it is never used to display ads or to track you across other apps.

- No crash reporting services that transmit personal data

- No cloud backends operated by Audiospot

5. THIRD-PARTY FRAMEWORKS AND SERVICES

PaceIQ uses the following Apple-provided frameworks that operate under

Apple's own privacy policies (https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/):

- Apple HealthKit — health and fitness data

- Apple WeatherKit — real-time weather data

- Apple StoreKit 2 — subscription processing

- Apple WatchConnectivity — communication between iPhone and Apple Watch

- Apple CoreLocation — GPS and location services

In addition, we use the following third-party service:

- RevenueCat — backend subscription validation and entitlement management.

By purchasing a subscription, you acknowledge that anonymous receipt data

is processed by RevenueCat. You can review RevenueCat's Privacy Policy at:

https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy/

- Open-Meteo (https://open-meteo.com)

— a third-party weather service used as a fallback when Apple WeatherKit is unavailable.

It receives your location coordinates for the sole purpose of returning current weather for that location.

- Apple AdServices (Apple Search Ads attribution) — used, through RevenueCat,

to collect an anonymous attribution token that indicates whether your

installation originated from an Apple Search Ads campaign.

Each third-party service named above is contractually required to protect the

limited data it receives to a standard consistent with this Privacy Policy,

and to use that data only to provide the service described here.

6. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

PaceIQ is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly

collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child

has provided personal information through the App, please contact us at the

address below.

7. YOUR RIGHTS AND CONTROLS

You retain full control over your data at all times:

- HealthKit access: Manage or revoke at any time via

iOS Settings → Health → Data Access & Devices → PaceIQ

- Location access: Manage via iOS Settings → Privacy & Security →

Location Services → PaceIQ

- Workout records: Delete from within the App or Apple Health

- Subscription: Manage via iOS Settings → [Your Name] → Subscriptions

- Data deletion requests: Because PaceIQ keeps almost no data off your

device, you can remove essentially all of your information yourself using

the controls above. For the limited anonymous subscription data held by

RevenueCat, you may request deletion at any time by emailing

sagi@audiospot.audio.

8. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in App features or

applicable law. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this document will

reflect any changes. Continued use of the App after an update constitutes

acceptance of the revised policy.
