Introduction
Sports Stats Ltd ("we," "our," or "us"), a company registered in England and Wales, operates the Swimming Tools mobile application (the "App"). This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our App.
Information We Collect
Information You Provide
We do not collect or store any personal information directly from users. All swimming-related data (including stroke rates, times, and calculations) is stored locally on your device.
Automatically Collected Information
- App Usage Data: Apple may collect basic analytics about app usage through App Store Connect, which helps us improve our services. This data is anonymized and cannot be traced back to individual users.
- Purchase Information: If you make in-app purchases, the transaction is processed by Apple's App Store. We receive confirmation of your subscription status but do not store your payment details.
How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information solely to:
- Verify your subscription status for premium features
- Improve our App's functionality and user experience
- Analyze general usage patterns to guide development decisions
Data Storage and Security
- All swimming-related data is stored locally on your device
- We do not maintain any external servers storing user data
- Subscription status is verified through Apple's secure StoreKit framework
Third-Party Services
Our App integrates with the following third-party services:
- Apple App Store: Handles all payment processing and subscription management
- Apple StoreKit: Manages in-app purchases and subscription verification
Children's Privacy
Our App does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.
Your Rights
Under GDPR and other applicable data protection laws, you have the right to:
- Access any personal data we hold about you
- Request deletion of your data
- Object to processing of your data
- Data portability
Note: Since we store minimal data and most data is stored locally on your device, many of these rights can be exercised directly through your device settings.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new privacy policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.

Legal Basis for Processing
For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), we process any personal data we do receive based on:
- Performance of contract (for providing app services)
- Legal obligations (for maintaining records as required by law)
- Legitimate interests (for improving our services)
Data Retention
Since most data is stored locally on your device, data retention is controlled by you. Subscription status information is maintained only for the duration of your active subscription.
International Data Transfers
We do not transfer any personal data internationally as all app data is stored locally on your device.
