Track Pulse Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how the Track Pulse mobile app
(Android package com.zaeimtech.track_pulse, including its Wear OS
companion) collects, uses, stores and shares information. Track Pulse is
published by ZAEIM Tech ("we", "us", "our"). This policy applies only to the
Track Pulse app. Our website and client services are covered by the
ZAEIM Tech website privacy policy.
In short:
- Track Pulse collects your precise location only while you are recording an activity you started. If you allow it, recording continues when the screen is off or the app is in the background. It stops when you finish or discard the activity.
- Your routes, activities and profile are stored on your device. No account is needed and we do not receive your location or activity history.
- We do not sell your data, and your location is never used for advertising.
- Some data leaves your device only through features you turn on, or through the third-party services described below (ads, map tiles, purchases, Google Drive backup, Health Connect).
1. Location data
Track Pulse is a GPS activity tracker. It uses your device's precise location (and approximate location where precise location is unavailable) to:
- record the route of a run, walk, ride or other activity you start;
- calculate distance, pace, speed, splits and elevation for that activity;
- show your current position on the map while you prepare and record an activity.
Background location
If you grant "Allow all the time" location access, Track Pulse keeps collecting location data while an activity you started is being recorded, even when the app is closed or not in use, for example when your screen is off or you switch to another app. This lets the app record your complete route during workouts. Before Android asks for this permission, the app shows an in-app notice that explains this use. While recording runs in the background, Android shows an ongoing notification.
Track Pulse does not collect location in the background at any other time. Location collection stops when you finish, save or discard the activity. You can decline background access and still record activities while the app is open, and you can change or remove location access at any time in your device's Settings > Apps > Track Pulse > Permissions.
Where location data goes
- Recorded routes are saved in the app's local database on your device. They are not uploaded to ZAEIM Tech.
- Location data is not sold, not used for advertising, and not shared with ad networks or data brokers.
- A route leaves your device only when you choose to: exporting a GPX file, sharing an activity image, creating a Google Drive backup, or syncing to a paired Wear OS watch (see sections 4 and 5).
- To draw the map, the app downloads map tiles from the map provider (by default OpenStreetMap). Tile requests include your IP address and the map area being displayed, which can indicate your approximate location to that provider. Your recorded route itself is not sent.
2. Other information the app uses
| Data | Why it is used | Where it is kept |
|---|---|---|
| Activity and fitness data: activity type, duration, distance, pace, splits, elevation, steps, cadence, calories estimates, notes, tags, effort, goals, records | Activity history, statistics, goals and achievements | On your device |
| Optional profile details: display name, birth year, height, weight | Calorie and BMI estimates, personalised goals | On your device |
| Physical activity and motion sensors (step counter, accelerometer) | Step counts, cadence and auto-pause during recording | Processed on your device |
| Notifications | Recording status and reminders you schedule | On your device |
| App settings and preferences | Remember units, themes, layouts and other choices | On your device |
3. Health Connect (optional)
If you connect Health Connect on Android, Track Pulse can, with your permission, write exercise sessions, distance and active calories burned for activities you record, and read exercise sessions, distance, active calories burned and steps to show them in the app. Track Pulse reads or writes only the data types you approve. Data from Health Connect stays on your device, is not transferred to ZAEIM Tech, is not used for advertising, and is not sold. You can remove access at any time in Health Connect settings. Our use of information received from Health Connect follows the Health Connect Permissions policy, including its Limited Use requirements.
4. Features that send data off your device
Advertising (free version)
The free version shows ads from Google AdMob. Where required, ads are requested only after you respond to a consent message from Google's User Messaging Platform. Google may collect your device's advertising ID, IP address, device and app information, and ad interactions, and may infer an approximate location from your IP address, to serve, measure and personalise ads (where you allow it) and to prevent fraud. Track Pulse does not give AdMob your GPS location, routes, health or profile data. You can review ad privacy choices in Settings, reset your advertising ID in Android settings, or remove ads with Premium. See Google's Privacy Policy.
Purchases
Premium subscriptions are processed by Google Play (or Apple on iOS). We do not receive your payment card details. To confirm a subscription, the app sends the purchase token and product ID to our entitlement verification service. The app stores an entitlement ID, product, status and expiry date locally.
Google Drive backup (optional)
If you choose Google Drive backup, you sign in with Google and the app receives your basic Google account information (such as email address) to authorise access. The backup you create, which can include your activities, routes and profile, is uploaded to your own Google Drive. ZAEIM Tech does not receive it.
Sharing, exports and Wear OS
When you share an activity image, export a GPX or backup file, or open an external link, the data goes to the destination you choose through your device. If you pair a Wear OS watch, recording controls and activity data are exchanged between your phone and watch through Google's Wear OS data layer.
5. How we share data
We do not sell, rent or trade personal data. Data is shared only:
- with service providers that make app features work: Google (AdMob, Google Play billing, Google Sign-In and Drive, Health Connect, Wear OS) and the map tile provider, as described above;
- with destinations you choose when you share or export;
- when required by law or to protect the rights, safety or security of users or others.
6. Security
Data stored by the app is kept in the app's private storage on your device. Data sent to online services is transmitted over encrypted connections (HTTPS). No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, so please protect your device with a screen lock.
7. Retention and deletion
- Activities and routes remain on your device until you delete them. You can delete an activity from its detail screen.
- Downloaded offline maps can be removed from Offline Maps.
- Uninstalling the app or clearing its storage removes all locally stored app data, subject to your device's own backup settings.
- Google Drive backups can be deleted from your Google Drive. Health Connect data can be managed in Health Connect.
- Entitlement verification records are kept only as long as needed to confirm and support your subscription.
Because we do not hold your location or activity history, there is no server copy for us to delete. To ask about any other data related to you, contact us at the address below.
8. Your choices and rights
You can grant, limit or withdraw location, physical activity, notification and Health Connect permissions at any time in your device settings. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or object to the processing of your personal data. Contact us to exercise them.
9. Children
Track Pulse is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data through the app, contact us and we will help remove it.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the app changes. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date. Material changes will also be noted in the app or its store listing.
