Privacy policy

What the app saves, and where

Per Charge saves your vehicles, your rides (route, speed, distance, climb and times), your charges and your settings. All of it is saved on your iPhone only.

If you back up your iPhone, to iCloud or a computer, the backup can include this data. That backup is yours and is handled by Apple under your own settings.

What we collect

Nothing. Per Charge has no account, no advertising, no analytics and no code from other companies. We cannot see your rides or where you have been.

Location

Per Charge uses your location to measure speed and distance, from the moment you tap Start ride until the ride ends. That includes while the phone is locked, so a ride keeps recording in a pocket. The route is saved on your iPhone and goes nowhere else.

Motion & Fitness

This permission is used for one thing: the iPhone's barometer, which measures the hills you climb. Per Charge does not read your steps, workouts or Health data.

Apple Maps

The map on a ride's page is drawn by Apple Maps. To draw it, your iPhone asks Apple for the map of that area. Apple handles those requests under its own privacy policy.

Crash reports from Apple

If you have chosen to share analytics with app developers in your iPhone's settings, Apple gives us crash reports and usage counts that do not identify you. If you install a test version through TestFlight, Apple also passes on any feedback you choose to send.

Exporting and erasing

Settings › Export rides as a spreadsheet makes a file, and you choose where it goes. That is the only way the app sends your data anywhere.

Settings › Erase everything removes every vehicle, ride and charge. Deleting the app does the same.

Children

Per Charge is not aimed at children, and it collects nothing from anyone.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date. Questions: percharge@icloud.com.
