Effective date: October 15, 2026
Short version: WristPadel does not collect or share any personal data — we, the developer, never receive anything. Your match scores stay on your devices and, if you use iCloud, in your own private iCloud account, which we cannot access. Workout data (heart rate, calories) stays in your own Apple Health and is never put in iCloud by WristPadel.
Who We Are
WristPadel is developed and maintained by an independent developer. You can reach us at cushy_hull.2r@icloud.com.
Data We Collect
WristPadel does not collect any data from you. Specifically:
- No account or registration is required.
- No analytics or crash-reporting SDKs are included.
- No advertising identifiers or tracking of any kind.
- No data is transmitted to any server operated by us or by a third party.
Match History and iCloud
When a match finishes, WristPadel saves its result — date, duration, set and game scores, and whether games went to deuce or were decided by a golden or star point — so the iPhone app can show your match history and statistics.
- Match results are stored on your Apple Watch and in the WristPadel app on your iPhone or iPad.
- They are sent directly from your Apple Watch to your paired iPhone over Apple's encrypted watch-to-phone connection. This works without iCloud.
- If you are signed in to iCloud and iCloud is turned on for WristPadel, match results are also stored in your own private iCloud account (Apple's CloudKit private database). This keeps your history if you replace a device and syncs it to your other devices signed in to the same Apple Account, such as an iPad, which can't pair with an Apple Watch.
- Your private iCloud data is protected by Apple's iCloud security. Only you can access it; we, the developer, cannot see, read, or download it.
- Only match results are stored in iCloud. Match results contain no health data, no location, and no information about the other players.
iCloud is optional. Without it, the app works the same, but your history is kept only on your watch and the iPhone it is paired with and isn't backed up. To stop iCloud sync, turn off iCloud for WristPadel in Settings → [your name] → iCloud on your iPhone or iPad.
HealthKit Data
WristPadel optionally records a Tennis workout session to Apple Health. This requires your permission, which you are asked for when the app first runs.
What this means in practice:
- On Apple Watch, WristPadel writes a workout (duration, heart rate, calories) to Apple Health, and reads your heart rate and active energy during the match to record them in that workout.
- On iPhone and iPad, WristPadel asks for permission to read workouts, heart rate and active energy. It uses this only to find the workouts it recorded itself and show their heart rate and calories next to each match. These values are shown on screen and are not saved by the app.
- Health data is managed by Apple's HealthKit framework. Any syncing between your devices is done by Apple Health itself.
- WristPadel never stores Health data in iCloud and never sends it anywhere else.
You can revoke Health permissions at any time in Settings → Health → Data Access & Devices → WristPadel on your iPhone. If you deny permission, scoring and match history keep working normally — the workout simply won't be saved, and the iPhone app won't show heart rate or calories.
Data Sharing
We do not sell, trade, rent, or share any data with third parties. We never receive your data, so there is nothing for us to share.
Data Retention
You can remove a single match at any time in the iPhone app: open it in Match History and tap the trash icon, or touch and hold it in the list and choose Remove Match. It is removed from your devices and your iCloud account. Deleting the app removes the match history stored on that device. A copy in your iCloud account stays there until you delete it, which you can do in Settings → [your name] → iCloud → Manage Account Storage. Workout entries in Apple Health remain there until you delete them, which you can do at any time from the Health app.
Children's Privacy
WristPadel does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children under 13. Since we collect no data at all, the app is safe for users of any age.
Changes to This Policy
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this URL with a new effective date. We will not retroactively reduce your privacy rights.
