BarePace Privacy Policy
Short version: BarePace does not collect, sell, or share your personal data. Your workouts stay on your device.
Overview
BarePace is a free interval timer app for iOS developed by Timovation. This policy describes how we handle information when you use the app.
Information We Do Not Collect
BarePace does not collect any of the following:
- Your name, email address, or account credentials
- Your workouts, intervals, or any content you create in the app
- Your location
- Device identifiers used for advertising or analytics
- Usage analytics or behavioral tracking data
All content you create in BarePace — your saved workouts, settings, and workout history — is stored locally on your device using your device’s storage. It is never transmitted to our servers.
Contact Us Feature
If you choose to use the Contact Us form within the app, we collect only what you voluntarily provide:
- Feedback text — your message, which may include a Feature Request, Bug Report, or General Feedback
- Optional email address — only if you choose to include it so we can respond
- Device context — device model, operating system, OS version, app version, and build number, collected automatically to help us reproduce issues
- Display context — screen dimensions, font scale, pixel ratio, and locale, collected to help us reproduce visual issues
- In-session breadcrumbs — a log of up to 20 recent in-app actions (e.g., “started workout”, “advanced to next phase”), collected only for Bug Reports to help us understand what happened before the issue occurred
- App settings snapshot — for Bug Reports only: your voice announcements, countdown beeps, start tone, keep screen on, and progress update settings (no workout content)
This information is submitted to a secure database operated by Google Firebase (Firestore) and is used solely to respond to your feedback and improve the app. We do not use it for advertising or share it with third parties.
We limit submissions to 3 per day per device to prevent misuse.
Third-Party Services
| Service | Purpose | Data involved |
|---|---|---|
| Google Firebase / Firestore | Stores Contact Us submissions | Feedback text, optional email, device context (only when you submit feedback) |
| Apple AVSpeechSynthesizer | Text-to-speech phase announcements | Processed entirely on-device; workout content never leaves your device |
No other third-party SDKs, analytics frameworks, or advertising networks are used in BarePace.
Data Retention
To request access to or deletion of any data you've submitted via Contact Us, use our Privacy Request form.
Contact Us submissions are retained only as long as needed to respond to your feedback and improve the app.
