Ekiro
Privacy Policy
Effective date: July 15, 2026
The short version: Ekiro does not collect, store, or share any of your personal data. Everything stays on your devices. No accounts, no analytics, no ads, no tracking.
What data the app works with
Ekiro is an interval run/walk timer for iPhone and Apple Watch. To do its job it works with the following data — all of it locally, on your devices only:
- Your workouts — the interval plans you build and your workout history are stored on your device.
- Heart rate (Apple Watch) — during a workout, Ekiro reads your heart rate from the watch sensor via Apple HealthKit to display it and to give optional voice guidance when you leave your chosen heart-rate zone.
- Workout records — completed workouts are saved to Apple Health (with your permission), so they appear in your Activity rings and Health app.
HealthKit
Ekiro uses Apple HealthKit to read your heart rate during workouts and to save completed workouts to Apple Health. Health data:
- never leaves your devices and is never transmitted to the developer or to any third party;
- is used only to provide the app's core features (live heart-rate display, zone guidance, workout recording);
- is never used for advertising, marketing, or data mining, and is never sold or shared.
You control HealthKit permissions in the Health app and can revoke them at any time.
Syncing between your devices
Workouts you build on iPhone are sent to your paired Apple Watch using Apple's WatchConnectivity — a direct connection between your own devices. Nothing passes through our servers, because we don't have any.
Location
During a workout on iPhone, Ekiro keeps a location session active — iOS requires this so the lock-screen widget (Live Activity) can update while the app is in the background. Coordinates are not stored, not shown to anyone, and never leave your device. The session ends with the workout. You can decline location access — everything keeps working except the lock-screen widget updates.
What we don't do
- No user accounts or registration.
- No analytics or crash-reporting SDKs.
- No advertising and no third-party trackers.
- No collection of contacts, photos, or any other personal data; location is used only as described above and is never stored or transmitted.
Changes to this policy
If the app ever changes how it handles data, this page will be updated first, and the effective date above will change.
