PulseCourier Privacy Policy
Effective date: 10 May 2026 · Last updated: 10 May 2026
PulseCourier (“the app”, “we”, “our”) is an iOS utility that reads your Apple Health data on your device and writes it to a single export file (NDJSON, CSV, or Markdown). The exported file is intended for your own personal analytics, scripts, and AI tools. This document explains exactly what the app does and does not do with your data.
1. Summary
- We do not collect any personal data. The app has no backend servers, no analytics, no advertising, and no third-party SDKs.
- We do not transmit your Health data anywhere. The app contains no networking code at all.
- You stay in control. Export files are created locally and only leave your device when you explicitly share them through the iOS share sheet or copy them to the system clipboard.
2. Health data we access (HealthKit)
When you grant permission, PulseCourier requests read-only access to the following HealthKit data types in order to build the export file you asked for:
- Step count
- Walking + running distance
- Active energy burned
- Apple Exercise Time and Apple Stand Time
- Heart rate, resting heart rate, and heart-rate variability (SDNN)
- Sleep analysis (in bed, core, deep, REM, awake)
- Workouts (activity type, duration, distance, energy)
The app never writes anything back to Apple Health. You can review or revoke access at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Health → PulseCourier.
3. How we use the data
HealthKit data is read into memory only for the duration of the export you triggered, encoded into the format you selected, and written to a single file inside the app’s private cache directory (Caches/PulseCourierExports/). The export directory and the written file are marked as excluded from device and iCloud backups.
Health data is not used to:
- train, improve, or fine-tune any machine-learning model;
- display, target, or measure advertising;
- build a user profile;
- contact you, or be contacted to others;
- be sold, rented, or shared with any third party.
4. Sharing — only when you initiate it
After an export is written, the app presents the standard iOS share sheet (UIActivityViewController) so that you can choose where the file goes — for example AirDrop, Files, iCloud Drive, Mail, or another app. The “Copy with AI Prompt” action places the prompt text and the export file on your system clipboard. In both cases the data leaves the app only because you initiated the action, and the destination is chosen by you.
PulseCourier does not upload, sync, or send your Health data anywhere on its own.
5. Data stored on your device
The app stores a small amount of preference data locally using UserDefaults (Apple’s standard settings store):
- your selected date range and any custom start/end dates;
- your export mode, file format, unit system, and language preference.
These preferences contain no personal or health information. They are removed when you delete the app.
Export files written to the cache directory are managed by iOS and may be removed automatically when the system needs space, or when you delete the app. You can also delete an individual export from Files at any time.
6. Third parties and tracking
PulseCourier does not use:
- analytics or telemetry SDKs;
- crash-reporting services;
- advertising or attribution networks;
- any third-party SDK that could collect data from your device.
The app does not track you across other apps or websites and does not request App Tracking Transparency permission.
7. Children
PulseCourier is not directed to children under 13 and is not designed to collect data from them. Because the app does not collect any personal data at all, no special children’s data handling applies.
8. Data retention and deletion
Because we do not collect or receive any data on our side, there is nothing for us to retain or delete on your behalf. To remove all data associated with PulseCourier:
- Delete export files from Files (or wherever you saved them).
- Revoke Health access in Settings → Privacy & Security → Health → PulseCourier.
- Delete the app from your device. This removes the cache directory and saved preferences.
9. Your rights (GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA / CPRA, and similar laws)
Privacy laws in your region may give you the right to access, correct, export, or delete personal data a company holds about you, and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising those rights. PulseCourier does not collect, receive, sell, or share any personal information — so there is no personal data on our side to access, correct, or delete. HealthKit data and on-device preferences live exclusively on your device and are controlled by you through iOS.
If you still wish to make a privacy request, contact us at the address in Section 12 and we will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.
10. Security
Health data and exported files remain inside the standard iOS app sandbox and are protected by iOS file-system protections. The app uses no custom cryptography. Once you share an exported file out of the app, that file follows the security model of the destination you chose (for example, iCloud Drive, another app, or AirDrop).
11. Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will update the “Last updated” date above and publish the new version at the same URL. Material changes will also be reflected in the App Store listing’s privacy details before they take effect.
12. Contact
Questions, privacy requests, or feedback: info@smartapps.design.
This policy applies to PulseCourier on iOS, distributed through the Apple App Store. It is consistent with the App Privacy details declared in App Store Connect (Data Not Collected, no tracking) and with the privacy manifest shipped inside the app.
