Data collection Website data App and workout data Policy notes Your choices

Data collection

Paceora does not require an account. If you use the support form, you submit your name, email address, optional subject, and message so Paceora can read and reply to your request. The macOS app also works without creating an online account.

Support requests

Support form submissions are checked with Cloudflare Turnstile to reduce automated abuse and are delivered by email through Resend to the Paceora support inbox.

The information you include in a support request is used to understand and respond to that request. Do not include sensitive health, payment, or account credential details in support messages.

Cookies and consent

The website shows a consent popup before it loads optional affiliate and referral tracking. Your choice is stored locally in your browser so the site can remember it on future visits.

Necessary storage for site operation and consent preferences is always enabled. Optional affiliate or referral scripts only load if you allow them.

Analytics

The site may load Umami Analytics to measure aggregate usage such as page views, referrers, and top pages. Umami is privacy-focused and does not use cookies for this measurement.

The cookie banner does not control Umami; it controls optional affiliate and referral tracking described below.

Affiliate and referral tracking

If you allow affiliate and referral tracking, the site may load a third-party partner script that can transform eligible outbound product links into tracked referral links and record impressions or clicks for attribution.

Depending on the merchant and tracking flow, that process may involve cookies or similar identifiers managed by third parties. We do not use this site to build personal profiles of visitors ourselves.

Bluetooth access

The macOS app requires Bluetooth access only for its core functionality. That permission is used solely to connect to supported treadmills, send control commands, and read workout data such as speed, distance, and steps.

Paceora communicates with your treadmill directly. Completed workout records may be sent to your private iCloud database as described below; live Bluetooth control is not routed through Paceora servers.

Workout storage and iCloud sync

The app stores data on your Mac so it can work properly between sessions.

  • Treadmill connection settings
  • Workout history, including date, duration, distance, and steps
  • App preferences such as keyboard shortcuts, units, reminders, and calibration
  • Pending local workout snapshots used to recover an in-progress session

When iCloud is available for the app, completed workout records can also sync through your private CloudKit database so Paceora on iPhone can write eligible sessions to Apple Health. Sync can include the workout identifier, date, duration, distance, steps, and related sync status. Workouts remain saved locally if iCloud is signed out or unavailable.

Paceora does not require a separate account. iCloud and CloudKit are provided by Apple and are governed by your Apple account settings and Apple's privacy terms. Paceora's developer does not receive a copy in a separate Paceora customer database.

Notifications

If you enable reminders or encouragement notifications, Paceora uses macOS local notifications to show those messages on your device.

These notifications are scheduled and delivered locally. They are not used to build user profiles or to send workout data to Paceora or any third party.

Third-party links

The landing page includes links to third-party services such as the App Store, Amazon, and merchant sites. Some outbound product links may be affiliate or referral links.

When you follow those links, the third-party site may collect data under its own privacy policy. Paceora does not control how those external services process your information.

Children's privacy

Paceora is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Managing your preferences

You can reopen your consent choices at any time by using the Cookie choices button in the site footer.

Changes to this policy

If this privacy policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page and the date above will be revised.

Can Paceora use optional referral tracking?

It helps fund the guides when a product link leads to a purchase. The site works without it.
