Privacy Policy
Heart Powered Racing is built around a simple promise: your personal and health information is yours. We designed the app so that your data stays on your device and in your Apple Health store. We do not collect it, sell it, or share it.
The short version: The app reads heart-rate and activity data from Apple Health and your Apple Watch to power gameplay, and writes your completed workouts back to Apple Health. Location is used only to trace your route during a walk or run. None of this data is transmitted to us or to any third party. We run no ads and use no third-party tracking.
Who we are
Heart Powered Racing is developed and published by Gnomes of Georgia LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”). If you have any questions about this policy or your privacy, contact us at here
Health & fitness data
With your explicit permission, the app accesses Apple Health (HealthKit) and your paired Apple Watch to provide its core experience.
Data we read: your heart rate (to power your race in real time) and workout and activity information.
Data we write: completed workouts — including workout type, duration, real-world distance, active energy, and heart-rate samples — saved to Apple Health so your activity is recorded and your Activity Rings can close.
Where it lives: this information is processed on your device and stored in your Apple Health store. It is never sent to our servers, because we do not operate servers that receive it.
We never sell, rent, or share your health information, and we do not use it for advertising.
You control this access at any time in the Health app or in Settings › Privacy & Security › Health. Revoking access may limit or disable gameplay that depends on your heart rate.
Location data
For outdoor modes such as Walks, Runs, and the Doggy Walk, the app uses your device location to measure your real distance and to draw your route on the map in your workout recap. Location is used only while you are in an active outdoor session. Your route and location remain on your device and in Apple Health; we do not collect or transmit them. You can grant or revoke location access in Settings › Privacy & Security › Location Services.
Game data stored on your device
Your profile, customizations, race history, trophies, and progress are stored locally on your device. This information is not transmitted to us.
Game Center
If you choose to sign in to Apple Game Center, the app submits certain aggregate game scores (such as total heart beats, Heart Beat Miles, and completed dog walks) to Apple’s Game Center leaderboards, and may display your Game Center nickname. This feature is provided by Apple and is governed by Apple’s Privacy Policy. Game Center is optional; you can disable it in your device settings.
Notifications
With your permission, the app sends local notifications during a session — for example, a cheer at the halfway point or a reminder if you’ve stopped moving. These are generated on your device and are not used for marketing. You can turn them off in Settings › Notifications.
What we do not do
We do not collect your data on our own servers.
We do not sell or share your personal or health information with third parties.
We do not use third-party advertising or analytics SDKs that track you.
We do not build advertising profiles about you.
Children’s privacy
Heart Powered Racing is rated for a general audience and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children. Because the app does not collect data off your device, no personal information is gathered from children under 13.
Data retention and deletion
Because your data is stored on your device and in Apple Health, you control it. Deleting the app removes its locally stored game data. Health and workout data you have saved lives in Apple Health and can be reviewed or deleted there at any time.
Medical disclaimer
Heart Powered Racing is a fitness, wellness, and entertainment app. It is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition. Heart-rate and fitness readings may be delayed or inaccurate and should not be relied upon for medical decisions. Consult a physician before beginning any exercise program.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date above and post the updated policy at this address.
