Stride — Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 24, 2026

Stride ("the app", "we", "us") is a step and activity tracker for iPhone. This policy explains what data the app accesses and how it is handled. The short version: Stride processes your data entirely on your device and never sends it anywhere. There are no accounts, no servers, no analytics, and no third-party tracking.

Data we access

Stride reads the following on your device, only after you grant permission through the standard iOS prompts:

  • Apple Health (read-only): step count, walking + running distance, active energy, and flights climbed. Stride never writes to Apple Health.
  • Motion & Fitness (CoreMotion): the iPhone's pedometer, used to count your steps and distance live as you walk.
  • Files you choose to import: if you use the optional "Import history" feature, Stride reads a CSV file that you explicitly select. It is parsed on device to backfill your step history and streak.

How your data is used

All of the above is used solely to display your steps, distance, calories, active minutes, trends, streaks, and goal progress inside the app. Your goal, theme, accent color, and imported history are saved locally on your device (in the app's storage and iOS preferences).

What we do NOT do

  • We do not collect, transmit, sell, or share your data.
  • We do not use your Health or Motion data for advertising, marketing, or data mining.
  • We do not use analytics, crash-reporting, or tracking SDKs.
  • We have no servers and require no account or login.
  • Because no data ever leaves your device, we have no access to it.

Data retention and deletion

Your data stays on your device. You can revoke Stride's access to Apple Health or Motion at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Health / Motion & Fitness. Deleting the app removes all data Stride has stored on the device.

Children's privacy

Stride is rated for general audiences and does not knowingly collect any data from anyone, including children.
