Privacy policy
Applies to RideHC for iPhone, version 1.0. Last updated 25 October 2026.
The short version
RideHC keeps everything on your phone. It has no account, no server and no analytics. The app contains no network code at all: nothing you record leaves the phone unless you export or share a file yourself.
What the app stores, and where
- Your rider profile: the name you enter, FTP, weight, threshold and maximum heart rate, resting heart rate, birth date, and your training-zone settings. Each is optional.
- Your rides: every value your sensors send during a session — power, cadence, heart rate, speed, core and skin temperature, muscle oxygen and total haemoglobin, battery levels — with the sensor it came from, its units and quality flags; the workout you rode; the targets the app set; and a raw log of the Bluetooth traffic, kept for diagnosing sensor problems.
- Your sensors: the Bluetooth identifiers, names and nicknames of the devices you have connected, so the app finds them again.
- Your workouts: the workout library, including files you import.
All of it is stored in the app's own storage on your iPhone, protected by the device's encryption and your passcode. The app does not use HealthKit and does not read or write Apple Health.
Heart rate and other health-related data
Heart rate, body temperature and muscle oxygen are health-related measurements. RideHC records them only to show them to you during the ride and to write them into your ride files. They are never sent anywhere by the app, never used for advertising, and never shared with anyone unless you share a file.
Bluetooth
RideHC asks for Bluetooth so it can read your sensors and set the resistance on a smart trainer. It keeps Bluetooth running in the background so a ride keeps recording with the screen off. It does not use Bluetooth for anything else.
Files you export or share
You can export a ride as a FIT file, a CSV file and a JSON archive, and share them with the system share sheet, AirDrop or Files. Those files contain the ride's data and the profile values the ride used, such as your name, FTP and weight. Once a file has left the phone it is governed by whatever service you sent it to, not by RideHC.
Deleting your data
Deleting the app from your iPhone deletes everything it stored. Exported files you have saved elsewhere are not affected.
Children
RideHC is not directed at children under 13.
Changes
If a future version changes what the app does with your data — for example, an optional link to a coaching platform — this page will say so before that version is released, with the date of the change.
