Privacy Policy for HeatPace

Last updated: November 5, 2026

HeatPace: Heat & Hydration Coach ("HeatPace", "the app") helps you stay safe in the heat. This policy explains what information the app uses and where it goes.

The short version

We have no servers and we don't sell your data. HeatPace has no account or sign-up. Everything you enter stays on your device. The one thing that leaves your device is your approximate location, which is sent to a weather service to get your forecast.

Location

With your permission, HeatPace uses your approximate location to get the local heat forecast. To do this, the app sends rounded coordinates (about 100 m precision) to the free weather service Open-Meteo, which returns the forecast. As with any web request, your IP address is also visible to Open-Meteo. No name, account or device ID is sent with the request.

Open-Meteo is an independent company with its own terms and privacy notice. It says it keeps web server logs, which may contain coordinates, for troubleshooting, and deletes them after 90 days. We don't receive this data. HeatPace itself does not store your location history. You can turn location off at any time in your phone's settings, but HeatPace can't show local heat risk without it.

Apple Health and Apple Watch (iPhone)

If you choose to connect Apple Health, HeatPace reads your heart rate, workouts, active energy and date of birth (to estimate your age-based heart-rate limit), and saves the water you log. This information is used only on your device to show heat-safety advice. It is never sent to us or to anyone else, and it is never used for advertising. You can change Health access at any time in the Health app.

Information stored on your device

This stays on your device. It may be included in your device backup under your platform provider's privacy terms.

Notifications

Break and water reminders are scheduled on your device. No information is sent to a server.

No ads, analytics or tracking

HeatPace has no advertising, no analytics tools and no third-party tracking.

Health and safety notice

HeatPace gives general guidance based on public heat-safety recommendations (OSHA, NIOSH, NWS and ACSM). It is not a medical device and does not replace your employer's heat illness prevention plan or medical advice. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.

Children

HeatPace is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect information from children.

Deleting your data

Delete the app to remove all of its data from your device. Water already saved to Apple Health can be removed in the Health app.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date above.
