Time Stride

Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 21, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Time Stride handles information when you use the app. The short version is simple: Time Stride is designed to work primarily on your device, and we do not sell your personal information.

Information We Collect

Time Stride may access or store the following information to provide its core features:

• Your device location, if you grant location permission.
• Walk data such as route points, distance traveled, speed, and where narrated cards appeared during a walk.
• App settings and preferences, such as narration mode, cue settings, frequency settings, and sofa mode preferences.
• Bookmarks and other content you choose to save in the app.

How Information Is Used

Time Stride uses this information to provide the features of the app, including to:

• Track your progress during a walk or run.
• Trigger narrated timeline events based on your movement.
• Show your walked route and event pins on the in-app map feature.
• Remember your settings, saved cards, and bookmarks on your device.
• Support lock screen and Live Activity controls during an active walk.

Location Data

If you allow location access, Time Stride uses location to run walk-based features such as distance tracking, timeline pacing, route display, and map pins. If you enable background walking behavior and your device permissions allow it, the app may continue receiving location updates while the app is not in the foreground. You can change location permissions at any time in your device settings.

On-Device Storage

Time Stride stores app preferences, bookmarks, and walk-related state locally on your device. Some temporary shared state may also be stored locally through Apple app-group storage so the main app and its lock screen / Live Activity features can stay in sync.

Speech, Maps, and Apple System Features

Time Stride uses Apple system frameworks such as speech synthesis, maps, and Live Activities to provide app features. These features may process data needed for their operation on your device under Apple’s platform rules.

External Links

Some actions in the app may open external web pages or searches in your browser, such as research links. Those websites are not operated by Time Stride, and their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.

Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information. Based on the current app design, walk data, settings, and bookmarks are primarily handled locally on your device rather than sent to a developer-operated server.

Your Choices

• You can disable location permission in your device settings.
• You can stop using map and route-based features by not granting location access.
• You can delete the app to remove locally stored app data from your device.
