Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 18, 2026

IsoRide is built with privacy as a core principle. We collect the minimum data necessary to provide weather-based cycling recommendations, and we never track, profile, or sell your information.

Information We Collect

Location data. IsoRide accesses your device's precise location while the app is in use, for two purposes: to fetch weather conditions for your area, and to calculate distances on your device — such as how far you are from a saved shelter. Your coordinates are sent to Apple WeatherKit to retrieve local forecasts. Your location is never transmitted to any server we operate, logged, or sold.

For performance, IsoRide caches your most recent location on-device (in Apple's UserDefaults, scoped to the app's sandbox) so the first forecast on cold launch and background weather updates can render without waiting on a fresh GPS fix. Only the most recent point is retained — no history, no trail, no aggregation. The cached value is replaced on every new GPS fix and is erased entirely when you delete the app.

Third-Party Services

Apple WeatherKit. We use Apple's WeatherKit service to provide forecast data. When the app fetches weather, your latitude and longitude are included in the API request. Apple's use of this data is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.

Apple StoreKit (In-App Purchase). If you purchase IsoRide Pro, the transaction is handled entirely by Apple's StoreKit framework and the App Store. IsoRide receives only a cryptographically signed transaction receipt indicating you own the Pro entitlement — we do not see or store your payment method, billing address, full Apple ID, or any other purchase metadata. Apple's handling of your purchase is governed by Apple Media Services Terms.

No ads. No analytics. IsoRide does not include any advertising SDK, analytics SDK, or third-party tracking framework. There is no AdMob, no Firebase, no Mixpanel, no Amplitude, no Sentry, no Crashlytics. We do not display advertisements of any kind.

Data Stored on Your Device

The following preferences and caches are stored locally on your device using Apple's UserDefaults and are never transmitted to any server we operate:

• Unit system preference (metric or imperial)
• Appearance and color theme settings
• Safety buffer duration
• Shelter location, name, and saved favorite shelters (if configured)
• Notification permission status and alert level
• Ride-style preferences (temperature comfort, wind sensitivity, AQI tolerance, UV warnings, fallback profile, and morning / evening commute hours)
• Calendar sync preference + chosen sync style
• Most-recent device location (cached so cold launches and background weather updates have somewhere to start; replaced on every new GPS fix)
• Pro entitlement status, cached from your App Store receipt so locked features don't flash on cold launch (the actual receipt is held by iOS, not us)
• Whether you've completed onboarding

Diagnostic data. IsoRide subscribes to Apple's MetricKit framework, which provides daily app-performance metrics (launch counts, hangs, scroll responsiveness) and diagnostic payloads on crashes. These payloads are stored on-device in the app's Documents folder and capped at 30 files. This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly tap "Share diagnostic data" in Settings, in which case the data is exported to whichever app you choose (Mail, Messages, AirDrop, etc.).

What We Do Not Collect

• No user accounts or registration
• No email addresses or personal identifiers
• No analytics or usage tracking
• No third-party analytics SDKs (no Firebase, Mixpanel, Amplitude, Sentry, etc.)
• No advertising identifiers, advertising SDKs, or cross-app tracking
• No user-level location history
• No payment information (handled entirely by Apple)

Data Retention

IsoRide has no server infrastructure of its own. All user data exists solely on your device. Deleting the app removes all stored data.

Children's Privacy

IsoRide does not knowingly collect any information from children under 13. The app does not require registration or collect personal data of any kind.

Changes to This Policy

If we update this privacy policy, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
