Privacy policy

Updated 21 October 2026.

Stride keeps health analysis and training on your iPhone. There are no Stride accounts, ads, cloud AI or third-party analytics.

Health and workout data

With permission, Stride reads workouts, recorded routes, heart rate, resting heart rate, HRV and sleep to plan training and show progress. Plans, goals, check-ins, recovery information and cached history stay in protected local storage, excluded from device backups.

iPhone recordings are saved locally without requiring Health permission. You can separately choose to export a workout, distance and optional GPS route to Apple Health. Failed exports retain the local result for retry. Outdoor recording can use location in the background; treadmill recording does not use GPS. Interrupted-workout drafts stay protected on the device and are removed when saved or discarded. Stride does not delete Apple Health workouts. You can change Health and location permissions in iPhone Settings; missing Health samples may reflect unavailable data or limited access.

Apple services

Route searches send place queries and coordinates to Apple Maps. Navigation handoffs pass the selected endpoints. Scheduled workouts are sent to Apple Workout on your Watch. These services follow Apple’s privacy terms.

Optional reminders are scheduled locally at your chosen times with generic text. Optional lock-screen workout alerts include the upcoming step name and use a beep; voice cues play while Stride is open. iOS, Silent mode and Focus settings control delivery.

Optional iCloud backup

If enabled, your private iCloud backup contains selected preferences and designed saved routes. It excludes Health records, recorded workout routes, plans, goals, progress, readiness, check-ins, recovery information, training-level/pace baselines, reminders and tip-engagement history.

Apple stores this backup in your iCloud account. The newest configuration replaces the previous one. Turning backup off retains that copy; use the separate Delete iCloud backup action to remove it.

Deleting local data

Use Settings → Delete local app data. Pending Stride Watch workouts are removed first; if removal cannot be confirmed, local data is retained so you can retry. Further Health imports stop until you reconnect. Apple Health workouts and any separate iCloud backup remain. Synthetic demo data can be deleted separately.

Feedback and tips

Feedback contains your message and, optionally, the device model, app version and iOS version shown for review. No Health records, routes, logs, device name or unique device identifier are attached automatically. You choose whether to send it through Mail or another app. Your email service may include your sender name and address.

Support messages are used to reply and investigate improvements, then deleted when no longer needed, subject to legal retention requirements. You can request deletion using the contact below. Email and sharing providers follow their own privacy policies.

Where available, tips are optional and processed by Apple. Stride receives no card details and all features remain available without payment. Tip status, usage days, dismissals and workout quiet periods are stored locally to manage invitations; they are not sent to analytics or included in iCloud backup.
