Privacy policy

Data Collection

Control your WalkingPad from the Mac menu bar. Paceora replaces the phone app with native macOS control, history, and reminders.

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 we 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 Plausible Analytics to measure aggregate usage such as page views, referrers, and top pages. Plausible is privacy-focused and does not use cookies for this measurement.

The cookie banner does not control Plausible; 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 and does not send that device data to external services.

Local Data Storage

The app stores data locally 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

This data stays on your device. The first Mac App Store release does not sync workout history to external servers or cloud services.

The homepage may include a manually published "Developer of this app stats" snapshot from the app developer's own Mac. That proof section is an opt-in developer export of aggregated personal stats, not a sync feature for Paceora users.

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 Settings 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.

Paceora is an unofficial application and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to KingSmith or WalkingPad.
