Privacy Policy
Salita is a training log and analytics app for iPhone. This policy covers the app and this website. In it, “we” means Salita’s developer, David Dayan.
- Your activities, statistics and settings are stored on your iPhone, in Salita’s own storage.
- We have no accounts and no servers. We don’t collect, sell or share your data, and we can’t see your activities.
- Health data from Apple Health is kept only on your iPhone. It never goes to iCloud or to us.
- Backup to your own iCloud is optional, off until you turn it on, and leaves health data out.
What Salita keeps on your iPhone
- Activities you import: workouts from Apple Health (only with your permission), a Strava export, and GPX or FIT files you upload. With them come their GPS tracks, heart rate, power, cadence and elevation, and the statistics Salita works out from them.
- What you add: names and descriptions, trims, labels, segments, saved routes and goals.
- Settings: units, an optional name, and any body stats you enter (weight, FTP, maximum and resting heart rate), which Salita uses for zones and training load.
- Crash and hang reports that iOS gives the app on the phone.
All of it is kept in the app’s storage on your iPhone, and deleting Salita deletes it. An iCloud backup, if you made one, stays in your iCloud until you delete it.
What leaves your iPhone
Salita sends nothing to us. There is no server of ours to send it to. Three features use Apple’s services:
- Maps. Showing a map, including an activity’s route and the small maps in your feed, asks Apple Maps for that area.
- Weather. When an activity is imported, Salita asks Apple Weather for the conditions where and when it started, and asks again later if that first try failed. The start point’s coordinates and the time go to Apple; the temperature, wind and conditions come back. For a workout from Apple Health, the start point comes from its route.
- iCloud backup, only if you turn it on. A copy of Salita’s database goes to your own iCloud account, labeled with your iPhone’s name and the app version. It is private to your Apple Account and counts against your iCloud storage, and we have no way to read it. Before the copy leaves your iPhone, health and biometric data is removed from it, whatever its source: GPS tracks and every other recorded sample, heart rate and power figures, body stats, and fitness and training-load figures. What it keeps is your activity list (names, descriptions, sports, dates, distances, times, elevation gain, speeds, weather and the recording device), your edits, labels and goals, your best times over set distances, and the routes and segments you saved, with their paths on the map, along with Salita’s segment suggestions. After a restore, the rest comes back when you reconnect Apple Health and import your files again. On a new install, Salita looks in your iCloud for a backup so it can offer to restore it.
Apple handles map, weather and iCloud requests under Apple’s Privacy Policy. Salita’s own copies of crash reports leave the phone only if you choose Export diagnostics in Salita’s Settings and share the file yourself. iOS also sends crash reports to Apple, which passes them on to us (see What we collect). Notifications about imported workouts are created on the phone.
Apple Health
Salita reads these kinds of data from Apple Health, only after you allow it and only the ones you allow: workouts and their routes, heart rate, resting heart rate, walking, running and cycling distance, running and cycling power, and cycling cadence. It never writes to Apple Health.
Health data is used only to show and analyze your activities, and it is stored only on your iPhone. It is never put in iCloud, never sent to us, never used for advertising or marketing, and never sold. The only part of it that leaves your iPhone is what maps and weather need (see above): a workout’s start point and time, sent to Apple Weather, and the area around its route, which Apple Maps draws.
You can change Salita’s access at any time in the Health app: tap your profile picture, then Apps under Privacy, then Salita.
What we collect
Nothing through the app. Salita has no accounts, analytics, advertising, tracking, or third-party code that reports anywhere.
Apple shares some information with every app’s developer, and we receive it like any other:
- Beta testing. If you test Salita through TestFlight, Apple automatically gives us the name and email address you were invited with (not if you joined through a public link), which builds you installed and how often you opened them, your device model and a device identifier, your iOS version and language, and crash logs. Testers can’t turn this off. If you send feedback through TestFlight, we also get your comments and screenshots, with details of your device such as battery level, carrier and time zone. Apple keeps feedback for a year and crash and usage data until the bugs are resolved, as its TestFlight & Privacy notice explains.
- App Store. If you have turned on Share With App Developers (Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements), Apple gives us crash reports and usage statistics, aggregated or in a form that doesn’t identify you.
We use these only to fix and improve Salita and, for testers, to contact you about the beta. To leave the beta or ask us to delete your tester information, email us.
If you email us, we have your address and what you sent, and use them only to reply. Ask and we’ll delete the conversation. Mail to support@salita.fit is forwarded by Cloudflare to the developer’s Gmail, under their privacy policies.
This website
salita.fit sets no cookies, runs no analytics or tracking, and loads nothing from other sites. Like any website, its hosting provider may keep standard request logs, such as IP addresses and the pages requested, to run and protect the service.
Your choices
- Delete any activity in the app, or delete the app to remove everything it stored on your iPhone.
- Turn iCloud backup off, or remove the copy in iCloud with Delete iCloud Backup in Salita’s Settings.
- Change or remove Salita’s Apple Health access in the Settings app.
- Export any saved route as a standard GPX file at any time. Save as Route turns an activity’s path into one.
Children
Salita isn’t directed at children under 13. It collects nothing from anyone, children included.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
