We need as little of your data as possible.

The short version

• We have no servers and no accounts. You don't sign up, and we never see your data.
• Your workout history lives on your device, and we never see it. (We have no servers.)
• We don't sell your data. Ever.
• On the free tier, we show ads served by Google AdMob, which may collect limited data as described below. Squall Pro removes all ads.

What data Squall handles

Workout data you create

Timer configurations, saved presets, and completed-workout logs (type, date, duration, rounds, splits, your optional notes and RPE). This is stored locally on your device using Apple's on-device database (SwiftData).

Settings & preferences

Your audio, haptic, theme, and default-workout preferences are stored locally on your device (via the system preferences store) so the app behaves the way you set it.

Apple Health (HealthKit) — optional

If you turn on Save workouts to Apple Health, Squall integrates with Apple's HealthKit:

• What it reads (only with your permission): your height, weight, age and biological sex to improve the calorie estimate, and the heart rate and active energy recorded during a workout on your Apple Watch to show on your results.
• What it writes: your completed workouts, so they count toward your Activity rings and appear in the Health app.

This information is provided by and stored in Apple's on-device HealthKit store. It stays on your device, we have no servers, and we never receive it. Squall uses your Health data only to provide these app features. We never use Health data — or any data derived from it — for advertising, marketing, or data mining, and we nevershare it with third parties (including our advertising provider). Health data is never sent to AdMob. You can review or revoke Squall's Health access at any time in the Health app → Sharing, and manage it in Squall under Settings → Apple Health.

Purchases (Squall Pro)

In-app purchases and subscriptions are processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. We receive only the entitlement status needed to unlock Pro features. We never receive or store your payment-card details. See Apple's privacy policy.

Advertising (free tier only)

The free tier displays ads via the Google AdMob SDK. To serve and measure ads, AdMob may collect device and usage information such as a device/advertising identifier, approximate (non-precise) location, and ad-interaction data. This processing is governed by Google's policies.

• On iOS, personalized advertising is shown only with your permission via Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt. If you decline, ads are non-personalized.
• Squall Pro removes all ads and the advertising SDK's ad requests.
• Ads are never shown during or around an active or paused workout.

Analytics & crash reporting

Squall v1 does not include third-party analytics or crash reporting. If this changes, this policy and the App Store privacy label will be updated before that build ships.

What we do NOT do

• We do not require an account or collect your name, email, or contacts (emailing support is your choice and uses your own mail app).
• We do not access your microphone, camera, photos, or precise location. Voice cues are generated on-device by Apple's text-to-speech; Siri control uses Apple's App Intents and does not give the app microphone access.
• We do not sell or rent personal data to anyone.

Data retention & deletion

Your workout history stays until you delete it. You can clear all history from Settings → Data → Clear history, and delete the rest by removing the app.

Children's privacy

Squall is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal data from them.

Your rights

Because your data lives on your device, you remain in direct control of it. For any privacy question or request, contact us below.

Changes to this policy

If we change how Squall handles data, we'll update this page and its “Last updated” date, and note material changes in the App Store release notes.
