Privacy Policy

Effective March 9, 2026

Overview

Echo Bike Connect is an iOS app that connects to your Rogue Echo Bike over Bluetooth to display live workout metrics and optionally upload workouts to Strava. Your privacy is simple: we don't collect your data, we don't track you, and we don't run ads.

Data Collected on Your Device

The app receives workout metrics from your Echo Bike via Bluetooth FTMS (Fitness Machine Service). These metrics include:

  • Speed (km/h)
  • Cadence (RPM)
  • Power (watts)
  • Distance (meters)
  • Calories (kcal)
  • Heart rate (BPM, if an external monitor is connected)
  • Elapsed time

Workout sessions and per-second samples are stored locally on your device using SwiftData. This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly choose to upload a workout to Strava.

Strava Integration

If you choose to connect your Strava account, the app uses Strava's OAuth 2.0 flow to obtain an access token. The following data is stored locally on your device:

  • Strava access token and refresh token
  • Token expiration date
  • Your Strava athlete name (first and last)

When you upload a workout, the app sends your workout data (timestamps, distance, power, cadence, and heart rate) to the Strava API. This is the only network communication the app performs. No data is sent to any other server.

What We Don't Collect

  • No analytics or usage tracking
  • No advertising identifiers
  • No location data
  • No contacts, photos, or camera access
  • No HealthKit data
  • No user accounts or registration
  • No data is sold, shared, or transferred to third parties (other than Strava at your explicit request)

Permissions

The app requests the following permissions:

  • Bluetooth — Required to communicate with your Echo Bike and display real-time workout metrics.

Data Retention & Deletion

All workout data and Strava credentials are stored locally on your device. To delete all data, simply delete the app from your device. You can also disconnect Strava from within the app's settings, which removes your stored tokens.

Children's Privacy

Echo Bike Connect is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

If we update this policy, we will revise the effective date above. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
