Privacy Policy
ArrowTempo ("we", "us", "the app") is an archery practice tracker for Apple Watch and iPhone, operated by ArrowTempo ("the developer"). This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have. ArrowTempo has no user accounts — there is nothing to sign up for and we hold no login or profile data.
1. Data we collect
- Practice data you create — sessions, arrow counts, scores, ends, distances, bow setups, notes, and tags.
- Health & motion data — heart rate and workout/motion samples read from Apple HealthKit during a session, plus draw-hold timings derived on-device. We only read the data types you grant in the HealthKit permission sheet.
- Microphone audio — Apple Watch uses the microphone only during an active recording session to detect the sound of a release. Audio is processed on-device in real time and is not recorded, stored, or transmitted.
- Purchase data — your subscription status, provided by the App Store. We never see your payment card details.
- Diagnostics — anonymous crash reports and basic usage events (e.g. "session completed") if you leave analytics enabled. No practice content is included.
2. How we use it
- To run the app's features — counting arrows, charting heart rate and hold time, scoring, heatmaps, and history.
- To sync your data between your devices and, if enabled, your private iCloud account.
- To provide support, fix bugs, and improve the app.
- To process and restore purchases.
We do not sell your data, and we do not use it for advertising or share it with data brokers.
3. Where your data lives
Your practice data is stored on your device and, if you enable iCloud sync, in your personal iCloud account (encrypted in transit and at rest by Apple). Health data stays in Apple Health and is read into the app under the permissions you grant; you can revoke access at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Health. If we operate any server-side backup or sync service, that data is stored with reputable cloud providers under contractual data-protection terms.
4. Third parties
We use a small number of service providers strictly to operate the app, which may include:
- Apple — App Store, iCloud, HealthKit, StoreKit.
- Crash/analytics provider — to receive anonymised crash and usage diagnostics (only if analytics is enabled).
These providers process data on our behalf and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes.
5. Your choices & rights
- Decline or revoke HealthKit and microphone permissions in iOS/watchOS Settings.
- Turn off optional analytics in the app's Settings.
- Export your sessions from within the app.
- Delete your data: deleting the app removes on-device data; disabling iCloud sync and deleting the app's data in iCloud removes the synced copy.
- Depending on where you live (e.g. EEA/UK, California), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data. Contact us to exercise them.
6. Children
ArrowTempo is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country), and we do not knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we will delete it.
7. Data retention
Your practice data stays on your device (and in your iCloud, if sync is on) for as long as you keep the app installed. Deleting the app and its iCloud data removes it. We hold no separate copy on our own servers.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the new version here with a revised "Last updated" date and, for material changes, notify you in the app.
