NearCoach helps stream heart rate from Apple Watch to a coach in real time.
Data we process
- **Health & fitness data (HealthKit):** heart rate, workout type, workout timestamps, and related workout metrics recorded during workouts.
- **Account and connection data:** Apple Sign in identifier, coach/trainee connections, and invite information. Your name/email may be included if you provide them.
- **Usage data:** session viewing activity (for example, when a coach opens a session link).
How we use data
- Provide real-time heart rate streaming during workouts.
- Show workout history and, if you choose, share workouts with your coach.
- Operate and improve reliability (for example, connection stability and debugging).
How we share data
- **With your coach:** when you start a session and share it, your coach can view live heart rate and session stats.
- **With anyone you share a link with:** if you choose to share a public session link, anyone with the link can view the live session while it is active.
- **Service providers:** we may use infrastructure providers to host the service. They process data on our behalf under appropriate safeguards.
Data retention
We retain data for as long as needed to provide the service and comply with legal obligations. You can request deletion of your account and associated data.
Your choices
- You can revoke Health permissions in iOS Settings at any time.
- You can stop sharing by ending your workout/session.
- You can manage coach/trainee connections in the app.
