PaceBuzz Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 5, 2026

PaceBuzz is a track stopwatch for iPhone and Apple Watch. It is built so that your data stays yours: everything PaceBuzz records lives on your own devices. We operate no servers, no accounts, no analytics, no advertising, and no tracking. We never see your data.

What the app records, and where it goes

• Run sessions and splits — times, splits, workout names, and any lactate or R.P.E. values you log by voice — are stored on your Apple Watch and iPhone only.
• Health data. With your permission, the Watch app runs HealthKit workout sessions: it reads your heart rate and walking/running distance during a run, and saves the workout to Apple Health. This data is displayed in the app and stored on your devices. PaceBuzz never transmits health data anywhere, and never uses it for advertising or shares it with third parties or data brokers.
• Location. If you turn GPS on in Setup, the Watch app uses your location during a session to record distance and a route trace. Location is never collected outside an active GPS-enabled session, and it stays on your devices.
• Motion. With your permission, the Watch app reads pedometer data during sessions to record your running cadence.
• Watch ↔ iPhone sync. Workouts and completed sessions transfer directly between your own Apple Watch and iPhone using Apple's WatchConnectivity. Nothing passes through us.

Exports you choose to make

You can export a session as text or as a Strava-compatible TCX file. Exports can include your splits, workout names, heart rate, cadence, distance, and route. Exports happen only when you tap an export button, and go only where you send them (for example, the Strava app or a message). Once you share an export, it is governed by the receiving service's policies.

Purchases

PaceBuzz Premium is a one-time purchase processed entirely by Apple through your App Store account. We receive no payment details and store no purchase information beyond what StoreKit provides on-device to unlock the features.

Support email

If you choose to email us for support or feature requests, the prefilled message includes your app version, build, device model, and system version to help us help you. Sending it is always your choice.

Data retention and deletion

Because your data is stored only on your devices, you are in full control: delete sessions or workouts in the app, remove PaceBuzz's data from Apple Health in the Health app, or delete the app to remove everything. We hold nothing to delete on our side.

Children

PaceBuzz is not directed at children under 13 and collects no personal information from anyone.

Changes

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this address with a new date above.
