Privacy policy

Summary

Inside Edge Timing is designed to work without an Inside Edge Studios account. The current version does not include advertising, third-party analytics or cross-app tracking, and Inside Edge Studios does not sell personal information.

Timing sessions, stopwatch records, race results, fitness-test results, settings and training history are stored locally on your device. Information leaves the app when you deliberately use an iOS sharing feature, contact support, or refresh an optional race-number list used for skater lookup.

Information used by the app

Profile and personalisation

If you enter a first or last name, the app uses it to personalise parts of the interface. This value is stored locally on the device and is not submitted to an Inside Edge Studios account or cloud database.

Session plans and preferences

The app may store your interval presets, session names, activity choices, cue and haptic preferences, lactate-threshold heart rate and other operational settings locally so they remain available when you next open the app.

Training history

Completed-session records can include dates and times, sport or activity category, durations, set and interval completion, perceived-effort ratings and notes that you enter. Stopwatch records can include split notes. Race Timer records and prepared start lists can include competition details, race distance, round, race category, race numbers, race lap splits, finish order, athlete names, athlete category, club and timing gaps. Fitness Test records can include athlete names and ages, level and shuttle scores, run time, distance, final speed and estimated VO2. This information is stored locally on your device.

Bluetooth heart-rate data

With your permission, Inside Edge Timing uses Bluetooth to discover and connect to compatible heart-rate monitors that expose the standard Bluetooth Heart Rate Service. Live beats-per-minute data is used to display heart rate and relative LTHR training-zone context during use.

The app does not require location information to calculate heart rate, and Inside Edge Studios does not receive your live heart-rate data through an account or company-operated server. Heart-rate and zone information is for fitness context only and is not medical advice.

Optional race-number lookup

Race Timer may refresh a race-number list from a configured web address so that entering a skater number can fill in name, category and club. The downloaded list is cached locally to support later offline use. The app does not require an Inside Edge Studios account for this feature.

Refreshing the list involves a normal web request to the host of that file, which may receive standard technical request information such as IP address, device network metadata and time of request. The app does not send your locally saved race results, notes or heart-rate data as part of the lookup refresh.

Sharing and support

Information you choose to share

Workout reports, split sessions, race results and Fitness Test reports can be passed to the standard iOS share sheet. Fitness Test exports may be shared as PDF, CSV or text and can include athlete names, ages and performance results. The app initiates sharing only after your action. The destination you select—such as Mail, Messages, Files or another app—handles that information under its own terms and privacy practices.

Information you send to support

If you email Inside Edge Studios, we receive the address and information you include in the message. We use it to answer the enquiry, investigate a reported problem and maintain reasonable support records. Please avoid sending unnecessary sensitive or health information.

Data sales, advertising and analytics

Inside Edge Studios does not sell personal information collected through Inside Edge Timing. The current version does not contain third-party advertising SDKs, create advertising profiles, track you across other companies’ apps and websites, or use third-party product-analytics SDKs.

Storage, retention and security

App information described above remains locally on your device until you change or remove it, reset relevant settings or delete the app. The current version can retain a limited number of recent session-history entries. Device backups are controlled through your Apple and device settings.

Support correspondence is retained only as reasonably needed to respond, keep an appropriate support record, resolve disputes and meet legal obligations. No method of electronic storage is completely secure, but Inside Edge Studios aims to minimise the information it receives and retain only what is useful.

Your choices

• You can deny or later disable Bluetooth access in iOS or iPadOS Settings.
• You can choose not to enter a name, LTHR value, athlete identifiers, notes or perceived-effort scores.
• You control whether a report or result is shared and which destination receives it.
• You can remove locally stored app information by deleting the app. Depending on your device configuration, an Apple-managed backup may retain a copy.

Children and supervised use

The app may be used by coaches or organisations in sporting environments that include young athletes. Coaches, officials and other adults are responsible for entering, handling and sharing athlete names, race numbers, bib numbers or notes appropriately and in accordance with their organisation's safeguarding and privacy responsibilities. Inside Edge Timing is not designed to create child accounts or collect children's information through an Inside Edge Studios account service.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated as the app develops, particularly if accounts, cloud synchronisation, analytics, payments or additional external services are introduced. The Last updated date identifies the current published version.
