Cooldown reads your workouts from Apple Health so you can rename them, correct their distance and duration, and export them to services like Strava. This policy explains what data Cooldown accesses, where it goes, and your rights.
Data Cooldown Accesses
Apple Health / HealthKit
Cooldown requests read access to your workouts, GPS routes, heart rate, running power/speed/stride length/vertical oscillation/ground contact time, step count, and — to estimate a maximum heart rate for training analysis — your height, weight, sex, and date of birth.
Cooldown requests write access so it can, if you choose to use that feature, save an edited copy of a workout back to Apple Health. Apple Health workouts recorded by Apple Watch cannot be modified in place by other apps, so this creates a separate, corrected record rather than altering the original.
All of this data is read and processed entirely on your device. Cooldown does not operate a database of your health data and cannot access it remotely.
Your Edits (Renames, Corrections, Notes)
Because Health workouts can't be edited in place, Cooldown keeps your renames, notes, distance/duration corrections, and trims in a local file on your device (an "overlay"), applied whenever it displays or exports a workout.
This file never leaves your device except as part of an export you explicitly initiate (see below).
Connected Service Credentials
If you connect Strava, Garmin Connect, Peloton, WHOOP, COROS, Dropbox, intervals.icu, Runalyze, or a webhook, any access tokens or API keys are stored in your device's encrypted Keychain — never in a plain file, and never transmitted to TEK Strategies.
For services you sign into through their own login page shown inside the app (Garmin, Peloton), your password is entered on that service's page and goes only to that service — Cooldown never sees, handles, or stores it. Only the resulting signed-in session token is kept.
Data TEK Strategies Does NOT Collect
Cooldown has no user accounts, no analytics, and no advertising or third-party crash-reporting SDKs. TEK Strategies does not receive, store, or have access to your workouts, your edits, your Health profile data, or your connected-service credentials. If the app crashes, Apple's on-device MetricKit framework may produce a diagnostic report — those reports are stored only on your device and are shared with Apple solely according to your own iOS analytics settings, never with TEK Strategies. Nothing in Cooldown sends them anywhere; if you choose to email one to support, that is a step you take yourself.
Third-Party Services You Connect
Data is only ever sent off your device when you connect one of the following, and only to the service(s) you actually connect:
Strava — workout name, corrected distance/duration, GPS route, and heart rate are uploaded directly from your device to Strava's API when you export or auto-sync a workout. Cooldown ships with its own Strava API application so you don't need to register one yourself; a small stateless server we operate (a Cloudflare Worker) relays only the OAuth token exchange between your device and Strava — it holds our app's API secret so it doesn't have to ship inside the app, but it does not store, log, or have access to any of your workout data. If you'd rather not use our built-in app, you can supply your own Strava API credentials instead, which bypasses this relay entirely. Your use of Strava is governed by Strava's Privacy Policy.
Garmin Connect — Garmin offers no public API for this, so you sign in on Garmin's own website shown inside the app; Cooldown keeps only the signed-in session and sends workout files directly from your device to Garmin. Governed by Garmin's Privacy Policy.
Peloton — likewise unofficial: you sign in on Peloton's own login page shown inside the app, and Cooldown uses the resulting session to download your rides (cadence, output, heart rate) into Apple Health. Nothing is ever uploaded to Peloton. Governed by Peloton's Privacy Policy.
WHOOP — connected via WHOOP's official sign-in, with the same token relay described under Strava handling only the sign-in token exchange; read-only. Cooldown downloads your sessions, recovery, and heart-rate zones; nothing is uploaded to WHOOP. Governed by WHOOP's Privacy Policy.
Dropbox — connected via Dropbox's official sign-in (a flow with no app secret at all); if you enable it, workout TCX files are written from your device into a folder of your own Dropbox. Governed by Dropbox's Privacy Policy.
COROS — connected via COROS's official sign-in, with the same token relay described under Strava handling only the sign-in token exchange. If you export a workout to COROS, the corrected workout file is uploaded directly from your device to COROS. Governed by COROS's privacy policy.
intervals.icu and Runalyze — connected with an API key you provide from your own account; workout files are uploaded directly from your device using that key.
Custom webhook — if you configure one, Cooldown sends the workout file directly from your device to the URL you specify. You are responsible for that endpoint's own data handling.
Apple Maps — if you use the street-map style when creating a shareable route image, the map tiles for your route's area are fetched from Apple's MapKit on your device, subject to Apple's Privacy Policy.
No other third-party services are used, and Cooldown never sends your data anywhere you haven't explicitly connected.
Purchases (Cooldown Pro)
Cooldown Pro is an optional in-app purchase — a subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase — that unlocks sending workouts to connected services without limit. Purchases are processed entirely by Apple through the App Store under Apple's terms. TEK Strategies never sees your payment details; the app receives only an anonymous signal from Apple that Pro is active on your Apple Account. No Cooldown account is created. Subscriptions can be managed or cancelled in your Apple Account settings, and refunds are handled by Apple. Everything else in Cooldown — your library, editing, merging, imports, share cards and local archive — works without Pro, and your data never depends on it.
Data Retention
All data — your Health overlay, settings, and connected-service credentials — is stored locally on your device. You can disconnect any service at any time from Cooldown's Connections screen, which removes its stored credentials. Uninstalling the app removes everything Cooldown has stored, including the Keychain entries.
Children's Privacy
Cooldown is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from children.
Changes to This Policy
If this policy changes materially, the "Last updated" date above will be revised. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
