Privacy Policy
Last updated 13 November 2026
Strolano holds you to the goals you set — sleep, steps, workouts — by reading what Apple Health and your Apple Watch record. This page says exactly what that involves. In short: your health data is used to judge your own goals and nothing else. It is never sold, never used for advertising, and deleted when you delete your account.
What Strolano reads
With your permission, Strolano reads from Apple Health: sleep (including stages), steps and activity, workouts, heart rate, blood oxygen, active energy, walking steadiness and gait, height, weight and date of birth (to estimate heart-rate zones). You choose what to share in Apple's Health permission sheet and can change it any time in Settings → Health → Data Access & Devices → Strolano. Strolano asks for the last 30 days of history so it can suggest goals; sharing less still works.
When a day falls short, Strolano may ask what got in the way. Your answers stay on your iPhone (they are not synced) and are erased when you sign out or delete your account. Strolano also learns when you usually wake, sleep and walk from your Health data, on your iPhone only, to suggest a time; that pattern is never uploaded.
If you set an activity at a place (a gym, a pool), Strolano uses location only to notice arriving at and leaving the places you saved. It never records a trail of where you go.
What leaves your iPhone, and why
| What | Where it goes | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Your goals, Strolano's state (weeks kept, cracks), one summary per day — hours slept, step count, workouts (type, time, length) — and visits to your saved places | Your Strolano account (Google Firebase, United States), readable only by your account | So your goals and Strolano follow you to a new phone |
| Counts only — e.g. "workouts 3 of 4, sleep 5 of 5" — and the voice you chose | Our server, which asks Anthropic's Claude to write the week's result in Strolano's voice | The Monday message. No raw health data, name or email is sent |
| Today's goals and their numbers (e.g. "6 h 5 min last night", "2,900 steps so far, 4,100 to go", "workouts 1 of 3 this week"), your usual wake, bedtime and walking times, the patterns your iPhone found, and the reasons you gave as categories (e.g. "work running late: 3") | Our server, which asks Anthropic's Claude to write Strolano's words for the day; the words are kept in your account | Today's line and the day's notifications, written for you. No name, email, place or note you typed is sent. Anthropic does not use this to train its models |
| The kinds of pattern your iPhone found — e.g. "steps fall short on Fridays, 3 of the last 4", "workouts land on Tuesdays" — and how often you gave each reason for a short day (e.g. "work ran late: 3") | Our server, which asks Anthropic's Claude to write "Strolano's read" on the Progress tab | A few sentences on how your weeks go. No hours, step counts, heart rates, notes, name or email are sent. The patterns themselves are found on your iPhone |
| Your city's name and approximate coordinates | Our server (and Claude, once per city) | To draw your city's skyline behind Strolano |
| Crash reports and which screens and buttons are used — never a health value | Google Firebase Crashlytics and Analytics | To fix crashes and see what's confusing. No advertising identifier is collected |
| If you delete your account: the reasons you tick, without your name, email or account id | Our server | To learn why people leave |
You sign in with Sign in with Apple or an emailed link; if you hide your email, Apple's relay address is all we see. Subscriptions are handled entirely by Apple — we never see payment details.
What Strolano never does
- Sell or rent your data, or share it with data brokers or advertisers.
- Use health data for advertising, marketing or profiling.
- Use health data for anything except your own goals, Strolano's messages to you, and keeping the app working.
- Upload photos, recordings or a location history.
Keeping and deleting it
Your account data is kept while you have an account. You → Account → Delete Account schedules your account and everything stored with it — goals, Strolano, daily summaries, place visits — for deletion. You're signed out at once, and for 7 days nothing is changed or used, so you can sign back in and keep your account if you change your mind. After 7 days it is deleted for good, including your sign-in and any week summaries written for you. Your data in Apple Health is never touched. Crash and usage reports are kept by Google for up to 14 months and aren't tied to your name or email.
Security
Data travels over encrypted connections and is stored encrypted. Your account data can only be read by your signed-in account, and requests must come from the genuine Strolano app (Apple App Attest).
The waitlist on strolano.com
If you leave your email on strolano.com, we keep three things: the email, when you left it, and the page it came from (plus your browser's name and the version of this note you saw). We use them for one thing: to email you when Strolano is out. Your IP address is used for a moment to slow down automated sign-ups and is never stored. The page uses Google reCAPTCHA for the same reason, and Google's own Privacy Policy covers what it sees. To be taken off, reply to any email from us or write to privacy@strolano.com. Once the launch email has gone out, the list is deleted. If you go on to make a Strolano account, that account is separate and the rest of this policy covers it. The list is never sold or shared.
Children
Strolano isn't meant for children under 13 and doesn't knowingly collect their data.
Your rights
Wherever you live, you can ask for a copy of your data, have it corrected, or have it deleted — most of this you can do in the app. For anything else, write to privacy@strolano.com. If you're in the EU or UK, you can also complain to your data-protection authority.
Changes
If this policy changes in a way that matters, the app will tell you before it takes effect.
