Privacy policy

Last updated: February 25, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Dash (“we”, “us”) handles information when you use the Dash iOS app (the “App”) and the Dash Workouts website and related services (the “Services”).

1) Who we are

Controller: Rui Peres
Location: London, United Kingdom
Contact: rui.peres@dashworkouts.app

2) What Dash does

Dash is a companion app that displays your training stats and widgets. Dash connects to data providers only after you choose to connect them (for example, Strava, Garmin, and/or Apple Health).

Dash does not record activities itself.

3) Information we process

A) Provider connection information

When you connect a provider, Dash processes a limited amount of account and connection information needed to authenticate your session and provide requested features.

Data minimization: we keep only the minimum information needed to operate the service.

Cookies note: Strava’s login page is owned and controlled by Strava. Strava may use cookies on their website. Dash does not read or access Strava cookies.

B) Activity and workout information used by the App

Dash reads provider data needed to display your stats and widgets (for example, profile fields, activity summaries, and time-series streams like distance, heart rate, power, and elevation when available).

Storage: on your device (local storage/cache).

Service operation: Some features may require limited processing on our service infrastructure. Any such processing is limited to what is necessary to provide the feature you requested.

C) Apple Health / HealthKit data (if you choose to connect it)

If you connect Apple Health, Dash reads the HealthKit data you authorize (for example, workouts and related metrics) to provide the same stats and widgets experience.

Storage: on your device (local storage/cache).

D) Push notifications (silent notifications)

Dash may use notifications to support background refresh and timely feature updates.

To provide this functionality, we may process a limited amount of technical information required for message delivery and account association.

Data minimization: we keep only what is necessary for this functionality and remove it when no longer needed for service operation.

E) Purchases and subscriptions

Payments are processed by Apple In-App Purchase. Dash does not receive your payment card details.

Dash may use a subscription service provider to manage entitlements and subscription status. That provider processes limited purchase-related and technical information needed to keep subscription status accurate.

F) Crash and error diagnostics

Dash may use a diagnostics provider to identify crashes, errors, and reliability issues.

Diagnostics information is used only to operate, secure, and improve the service.

4) What we do not do

  • No ads
  • No sale of personal data
  • No IDFA / App Tracking Transparency for advertising tracking
  • No background location tracking: Dash does not track your device location; any route/location data is limited to the workout data you import from your provider

5) Why we process data (purposes)

We process information to:

  • Provide the App’s features (provider connection, widgets, stats)
  • Maintain your session
  • Provide subscriptions and entitlement checks
  • Deliver silent notifications for refresh
  • Diagnose crashes and fix bugs

6) Legal bases (UK GDPR / GDPR)

Where applicable, we rely on:

  • Contract (to provide the service you request)
  • Legitimate interests (app security and reliability, crash diagnostics)
  • Consent (where required by iOS for certain permissions)

7) Sharing

We share information only with:

  • Providers you connect (for example, Strava, Garmin, Apple Health)
  • Platform and payment providers needed for purchases and billing
  • Service providers that support subscriptions, diagnostics, and infrastructure operations

We do not share data with third parties for advertising.

8) International transfers

Our service providers may process information outside the UK. Where required, appropriate safeguards are used.

9) Retention

  • On-device app data and cached data: until logout or app deletion
  • Limited service-operation records: retained only as long as needed to provide features, security, and reliability

10) Your rights

You may have rights to access, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data. To request help, contact rui.peres@dashworkouts.app.

Because much of your activity data originates from your connected provider, you can also manage much of it directly via that provider.

11) Children

Dash is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13.

12) Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy. The “Last updated” date will reflect changes.
