RowReady ("the App") is built so that your training stays yours. This policy explains exactly what leaves your device and what does not.
The App records workout metrics from your Concept2 PM5 rowing machine, including distance, time, pace, stroke rate, heart rate, and calories. This data is stored locally on your device only. We do not upload, transmit, or share your workout data with anyone. There is no account and no server holding your rows.
We use Sentry to collect anonymous crash reports so we can fix problems we would otherwise never hear about. A crash report contains the app version, your device model and iOS version, a stack trace, and recent app events — including Bluetooth connection log lines, which are what make connection problems diagnosable.
Crash reports do not include your workout data, and we have disabled the collection of IP addresses. Reports are not linked to you and are not used for tracking.
We also collect anonymous performance data: how long parts of the app take to run, on a fifth of sessions. This is what tells us the app has become slow to open a workout, or that saving a session is taking longer than it should — problems that never crash and that nobody thinks to report. It contains timings and device information, not workout data, and is not linked to you.
If you tap Settings › Report a Bug, your email app opens with a message already written, containing the app version, your iOS version, whether a monitor was connected, and recent Bluetooth log lines. Nothing is sent unless you send it — you can read and edit it first, or not send it at all.
We do not collect usage analytics. We do not know which screens you visit, how often you open the App, or how much you row.
The App uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to connect to your Concept2 PM5 performance monitor. It reads real-time workout data from the machine, and it sends the workout you selected to the machine so the monitor can run the session itself. Nothing else is sent, and the connection reaches only the rowing machine in front of you. No workout data leaves your phone over Bluetooth or any other route.
If you turn it on, the App saves each finished row to Apple Health as a rowing workout, with its distance, duration and active energy. You are asked for permission the first time, from Settings › Apple Health, and nothing is written unless you grant it.
This goes one way only. The App writes workouts to Health and never reads anything back from it. It does not read your steps, your heart rate history, your weight, or any other Health data, and it does not ask for permission to.
Health data stays on your device, under Apple's control rather than ours. We never receive it, and it is never used for advertising or shared with anyone. Anything the App has written stays in Health until you delete it there.
You can withdraw access whenever you like in the Health app, under Sharing › Apps, or in iOS Settings under Health › Data Access & Devices. Turning it off stops future rows being saved and leaves your workouts in RowReady untouched.
Workout data is stored in a database on your device, protected by iOS's built-in on-device encryption while your device is locked. You can delete everything at any time from Settings › Clear All Data. If you uninstall the App, all local data is permanently deleted with it — so export first from Settings › Export Data if you want to keep it.
The App is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date above.
