Privacy Policy

Effective Date: April 10, 2026

RideIQ (“we”, “our”, or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you use the RideIQ mobile application and website (rideiq.fit).

1. Information We Collect

a. Account Information

We may collect:

  • Email address (if provided)
  • Authentication information (e.g. via Strava login)

b. Strava Data

With your permission, RideIQ accesses data from your Strava account via the Strava API, including:

  • Activity data (distance, duration, speed)
  • Power data (if available)
  • Heart rate data (if available)

This data is used solely to generate performance scores and insights within the app.

c. Usage and Diagnostic Data

We may collect limited technical information such as:

  • Device type and operating system
  • App usage data
  • Crash logs and diagnostics

This information is used to improve app performance and reliability.

d. iCloud / CloudKit Data

RideIQ uses Apple’s CloudKit to store user data securely in your iCloud account. This may include:

  • Ride data and analytics
  • Scores and derived insights
  • User preferences

This data is associated with your Apple ID and is not directly accessible by RideIQ outside of your authorized app usage.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • Generate RideIQ performance scores and insights
  • Sync your data across your devices via iCloud
  • Improve app functionality and performance
  • Provide customer support

3. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), we process your data based on:

  • Your consent (e.g. connecting your Strava account)
  • Performance of a contract (providing the RideIQ service)
  • Legitimate interests (improving and maintaining the app)

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data.

We may share your data only:

  • With service providers necessary to operate the app (e.g. Apple CloudKit, analytics tools)
  • When required by law or legal obligation

RideIQ only accesses your Strava data with your explicit authorization.

5. Data Retention

We retain your data only as long as necessary to provide the RideIQ service.

Data stored in iCloud via CloudKit remains associated with your Apple ID until it is deleted through the app or via a supported deletion request.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

  • Access your personal data
  • Correct inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of your data
  • Restrict or object to processing
  • Request a copy of your data (data portability)

To exercise your rights, contact us at: support@rideiq.fit

7. Data Deletion

You may delete your RideIQ data at any time.

In-App Deletion

RideIQ provides a built-in feature that allows you to permanently delete your data. This process includes:

  • Deletion of ride data, scores, and analytics stored via Apple CloudKit
  • Removal of user-related records and associated data
  • Clearing of data stored in iCloud key-value storage
  • Removal of locally stored data on your device

This action is permanent and cannot be undone.

Email Request

You may also request deletion by contacting:

support@rideiq.fit

If you no longer have access to the app, we may require you to reinstall the app to complete the deletion process, as data stored in iCloud (CloudKit) is associated with your Apple ID.

Data Retention After Deletion

Once deletion is completed, your data is permanently removed from RideIQ-controlled storage systems. Some residual data may remain temporarily in system backups or logs, but is not used for any purpose and is deleted in accordance with standard retention practices.

8. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data.

Data stored via CloudKit is secured by Apple and associated with your iCloud account.

9. International Data Transfers

Your data may be processed and stored in regions where Apple or service providers operate. By using RideIQ, you consent to this transfer.

10. Third-Party Services

RideIQ integrates with third-party services, including:

  • Strava (for activity data)
  • Apple CloudKit (for data storage)

Your use of these services is subject to their respective privacy policies.

11. Children’s Privacy

RideIQ is not intended for children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
