Pacecast

Pacecast forecasts your race time from your running history. This policy explains what the app collects, why, and how to remove it.

In plain terms: Pacecast collects only what the forecast needs, and it shows no ads inside the app. It does use third-party advertising and attribution technology — from Meta, AppsFlyer, and TikTok — so we can measure which of our own ads bring new runners to Pacecast. That is described in full under Advertising, attribution, and third-party ad technology below. We never sell your data, and we never use your health, fitness, or training data for advertising or marketing.

Information we collect

Account information. When you sign in with Apple or Google, we receive your email address and a unique account identifier. If you use Apple’s “Hide My Email,” we only ever see the private relay address Apple provides.

Training information you enter. Your goal race distance, your recent race or hard-effort time, and your typical weekly mileage.

Health and fitness data (optional). With your permission, Pacecast reads your recent running workouts from Apple Health on iOS or Health Connect on Android — specifically workout distance, duration, and date over roughly the last four weeks — to estimate your training baseline.

Strava activity data (optional). If you connect Strava, Pacecast reads your recent activities (distance, moving time, and activity type) to keep your forecast current.

Forecast results. The predicted times and weekly targets calculated for you.

Subscription status. Whether you have an active Pacecast Pro subscription. Payments are processed by Apple or Google; we never see or store your payment card details.

App settings. Your miles or kilometers preference is stored only on your device.

Information collected automatically

When the app communicates with our servers or with the services listed below, some technical information is collected as a normal part of that connection: your IP address (which gives an approximate region, not a precise location), device type and operating system version, the Pacecast app version, and the date and time of the request. Advertising and attribution partners also receive device or advertising identifiers, as described below.

Pacecast does not collect your precise location, your contacts, your photos, or your browsing history, and it contains no crash-reporting or session-recording tools.

How we use it

Your information is used to calculate and display your race forecast and training plan, to keep that forecast updated as you train, to maintain your account, to unlock Pro features if you subscribe, to keep the service secure and working correctly, and to measure the performance of our own advertising as described below.

How your health data is handled

Health and fitness data is read only after you explicitly grant permission, and only to build your forecast. It is never used for advertising or marketing, it is never shared with advertising partners, and it is never sold or shared with data brokers or third parties for their own purposes.

You can revoke access at any time — on iOS in Settings → Privacy & Security → Health → Pacecast, and on Android in the Health Connect app.

Advertising, attribution, and third-party ad technology

Pacecast advertises on platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. To understand which of those ads actually lead to installs and subscriptions — instead of paying for advertising that does not work — the app includes third-party advertising and attribution software: the Meta SDK and AppsFlyer. AppsFlyer also passes attribution results to the ad platforms we buy from, including TikTok.

What these partners receive. A device or advertising identifier, your IP address, and app events such as an install, an app open, the start of a subscription, or a completed purchase, along with basic device information such as operating system and app version.

On Android. This includes your Google Advertising ID. Meta and TikTok may use that identifier and these events for their own advertising measurement and for targeting ads to you, including on their own apps and websites.

On iOS. Pacecast does not ask for App Tracking Transparency permission, so Apple’s advertising identifier (IDFA) is withheld from us and is never collected. The identifiers used on iOS are specific to Pacecast and cannot be used to follow you across other companies’ apps and websites, and ad attribution relies on Apple’s SKAdNetwork framework, which reports results to us only in aggregate.

What is never shared. Your health and fitness data, your Strava activities, the training details you enter, your forecast results, and your email address are never sent to any advertising or attribution partner.

Your choices. On Android, open Settings → Privacy → Ads to delete or reset your advertising ID, which stops it being shared. On iOS, the advertising identifier is already withheld, because Pacecast never requests tracking permission. You may also email support@broweleitventures.com and we will exclude you from advertising measurement entirely.

These partners handle data under their own policies: Meta, AppsFlyer, and TikTok.

Who we share it with

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with the providers required to run the app and to measure our advertising:

Service providers. Supabase (database and sign-in), RevenueCat (subscription status), Apple and Google (sign-in and payment processing), and Strava (only if you choose to connect it). These providers process data on our behalf and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes.

Advertising and attribution partners. Meta, AppsFlyer, and TikTok receive the limited advertising data described above. AppsFlyer processes that data on our behalf; Meta and TikTok may also use it for their own advertising measurement and targeting.

We may also disclose information if required by applicable law or legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of our users or of Broweleit Ventures LLC.

Security

Data is encrypted in transit using HTTPS. Your training records are stored in a database with row-level access rules so that your rows can only be read by your own signed-in account. Payment card details are handled entirely by Apple and Google and never reach our servers. No system is perfectly secure, but we limit what we collect and how long we keep it in order to reduce risk.

Data retention

We keep your account and training history until you delete your account, so that your forecast can improve over time. Technical logs containing IP addresses are retained for a short period for security and troubleshooting. Advertising partners retain the data they receive according to their own policies, linked above.

Deleting your data

You can delete your account and all associated data from inside the app, on the plan screen. Deleting your account permanently removes your profile, every training baseline, every forecast, and any Strava connection. This cannot be undone. Deleting your account does not cancel an active subscription — manage that in your App Store or Google Play account settings.

You may also email support@broweleitventures.com to request deletion, access to your data, or a correction, and we will respond within 30 days.

Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live, including the EEA and UK under GDPR and California under the CCPA and CPRA, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal information, to opt out of targeted advertising, and to withdraw consent. Pacecast honors these requests for everyone regardless of location.

We do not sell personal information for money. California law also treats sharing advertising identifiers with advertising partners for cross-context behavioral advertising as “sharing,” and that does apply to the advertising measurement described above. You can opt out using the device settings listed in that section, or by emailing support@broweleitventures.com. We also honor Global Privacy Control and similar opt-out signals where they reach us. We will never discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.

Children’s privacy

Pacecast is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with data, contact us and we will delete it.

Where your data is stored

Your data is processed and stored on servers in the United States. Our advertising and service partners may process data in other countries. If you use Pacecast from outside the United States, you consent to this transfer.

Changes to this policy

If this policy is updated, the new version will be published on this page with an updated revision date at the top. Significant changes will also be surfaced in the app.
