Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

            The Short Version: Your data is yours. We don't collect it, we don't sell it, we don't even see it. If you use iCloud, your data syncs through your personal Apple account — never through our servers. You're the nerd in charge of your own data.
        

What Data Session Nerd Collects

Session Nerd stores the following data locally on your device:

Session records (date, duration, sport, notes, ratings)
Equipment inventory and usage hours
Saved locations with GPS coordinates
Conditions data (wind, weather, water)
Telemetry from Apple Watch (GPS tracks, heart rate)
Your app preferences and settings

What We Don't Collect

We don't operate any servers that collect your personal data. Specifically:

No analytics tracking
No advertising identifiers
No usage telemetry sent to us
No account creation required
No data sent to our servers (we don't have any)

Third-Party Services

Session Nerd uses the following Apple services, which are governed by Apple's privacy policy:

WeatherKit: To auto-fill weather conditions for your sessions. Location data is sent to Apple to retrieve weather, not to us.
HealthKit: To import workouts and heart rate data from your Apple Watch. This data stays on your device.
CoreLocation: To record GPS coordinates for sessions and locations. This data is stored locally.
iCloud (CloudKit): If you enable iCloud on your device, your session data (sessions, equipment, locations, conditions, computed metrics) syncs to your personal iCloud account via Apple's CloudKit. This data is protected by your Apple ID and is not accessible to us. Raw telemetry files (GPS tracks, sensor data) are never synced and remain on-device only. If iCloud is not enabled, all data stays on your device.

Data Deletion

Delete the app, and all local data goes with it. If iCloud sync was active, your data remains in your iCloud account until you delete it from iCloud settings or install Session Nerd on another device. There's nothing on our servers because we don't have servers storing your data.

Children's Privacy

Session Nerd does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. The app is intended for athletes tracking their own sessions.

Changes to This Policy

If we ever change this policy, we'll update this page. But honestly, "we don't collect your data" is a pretty simple policy to maintain.
