Privacy Policy

Brisingr App Studio ("we", "us") builds Stride ("the app"). This policy explains what data the app uses and how. Stride is designed to keep your data on your device.

Summary

• We do not run our own servers and we do not collect personal profiles.
• Your health and Screen Time data stay on your iPhone.
• The only third party that processes data is our subscription provider, RevenueCat / Apple, and only to manage purchases.
• We do not sell your data or use it for advertising.

1. Health data (Apple Health / HealthKit)

With your permission, Stride reads your step count from Apple Health to calculate how many minutes of app time you've earned. Access is read-only. Stride never writes data to Apple Health. Manually entered Health steps are excluded from earned minutes. Your Health data is processed on your device and is never sent to us, never used for advertising or marketing, and never shared or sold.

2. Screen Time data (Family Controls / Device Activity)

Stride uses Apple's Screen Time framework only to block the apps you choose and to re-lock them when your earned time runs out. Apple's framework is privacy-protected and one-directional: Stride cannot see which apps you use, your browsing, or your Screen Time numbers. It can only display Apple-rendered Screen Time summaries to you; even the app itself cannot read those numbers. Your app selections are stored only on your device.

3. Information stored on your device

Your chosen display name, app selections, earned/used minutes, step history, and preferences are stored locally on your device and in a private app group shared only with Stride's own extensions. This data is not transmitted to us.

4. Subscriptions and purchases

Purchases are processed by Apple. We use RevenueCat to manage subscription entitlements, such as whether you have Stride Pro. RevenueCat may process purchase information and a randomized app/device identifier to deliver this service. See RevenueCat's privacy policy and Apple's privacy policy. We do not receive your name, email, or payment details from Apple.

5. Notifications

Stride sends local notifications, such as session reminders, from your device. These are not sent through our servers.

6. Data we do not collect

We do not collect accounts, contacts, location, advertising identifiers, or analytics about your in-app behavior. We have no login.

7. Children

Stride is not directed to children under 13. If Stride is used by a minor under a Family Sharing organizer, the organizer is responsible for that use.

8. Your choices

You can revoke Apple Health or Screen Time access anytime in iOS Settings. You can delete all locally stored data by deleting the app.

9. Changes

We may update this policy; we'll change the "Last updated" date above.
