Privacy

pace is a place to log fitness classes you took and rank them. Your scores feed the public number on a class, an instructor and a studio, and nobody can see which of those scores are yours. That is the design, not a setting.

We do not sell your data, we do not advertise to you, and we do not track you across other websites.

Your email address. It is how you sign in. There is no password. We use it to send you a sign-in code and nothing else.

Your date of birth. Collected once, when you join. It decides whether your account is an adult or an under-18 account, which changes what the app will let you do. It is never shown to anyone, including us in normal use.

A username, and optionally a display name, a short bio and a city.

Your classes. For each class: the class, the studio, the instructor, the date you went, whether you liked it, where it sits against your other classes, and optionally a written note and some tags.

Who you follow, who you have blocked, and any studios you have muted.

In the iPhone app, a push token if you allow notifications. It is an address for your phone, not for you, and it is used to tell you about a new follower, a comment or a like. Signing out removes it, and so does turning notifications off for pace in your iPhone settings, the next time we try to send one.

Photos you add to a class, if you are 18 or over. Up to five per class. Before a photo is stored it is re-encoded on your phone and again on our servers, which removes everything but the picture itself: the location it was taken, the time, and the camera. The same people who can read that class's note can see its photos.

Every photo is checked automatically when it is added, and again against known child sexual abuse images as it is served. Photos that may break the rules are held for a person to review, and anyone can report one. Material that appears to be child sexual abuse is reported to the authorities, as the law requires.

A profile picture, if you are 18 or over and add one. It goes through the same cleaning and checks as class photos, and everyone on pace who can see your profile can see it.

Groups you join, if you are 18 or over: the messages, plans and poll answers you post there, which the other members of that group can see. When you log a class, the group sees which class and studio (no later than your followers would), and the group's board counts your classes. Your goals and Want to go list stay private. Messages are checked automatically and can be reported; leaving a group removes you from it.

Medals and streaks are worked out from the classes you log. Your current streak (a number of weeks) shows on your profile; everything else on your achievements page is only for you.

Your location is not collected. If you allow the iPhone app to use it, your phone works out which of our cities you are in, and only the city is used. Your position never leaves the phone and is never stored.

We do not collect your contacts or anything from other apps.

Public: your username, display name, bio, city, when you joined, and your position on pace by number of classes logged. Your five highest rated classes, with their scores.

Only once you follow each other: the scores on the rest of your list. Someone who follows you without you following back sees the order of your list and your verdicts, never the numbers underneath.

Nobody, ever: your email address, your date of birth, and the raw list of which classes you attended and when. The database itself refuses to hand your logs to another signed-in person; the public numbers are worked out by our servers and only the totals come back.

Deliberately absent: we never publish how often you go to a particular studio, or a per-studio breakdown of your activity. A pattern of where somebody reliably is at a particular time is the thing worth protecting here, so the app does not build one.

Tags and mentions: someone can say you went to a class with them, or mention you with your @username in a note or comment. You are told when it happens, and you can remove yourself at any time from Settings, Tags. Under-18 accounts can never be tagged or mentioned, and nobody can tag someone they have blocked or been blocked by. Who went with whom is shown to the same people who can see which class it was.

Written notes have their own visibility setting, and are held back from the feed for between 12 and 24 hours so that a feed entry never says where somebody is right now.

You must be at least 13 to use pace. An under-18 account has no public profile at all: it cannot be found in search, nobody can follow it, and it does not appear on anybody else's screen. It is a private record of your own classes.

Turning 18 does not change anything on its own. The account stays private until you choose to convert it.

Your score for a class is averaged with everybody else's into the public number for that class, its instructor and its studio. Those numbers name nobody, and a class or instructor is not given a public number at all until enough separate people have reviewed it.

Studios and instructors have no special access. They see exactly what you see.

A few companies, each doing one job for us, none of them permitted to use your data for anything else:

• Supabase, which stores the database and runs sign-in.
• Vercel, which hosts and serves the app.
• Resend, which delivers the email carrying your sign-in code.
• Expo and Apple, which deliver push notifications to the iPhone app.
• Cloudflare, which stores and serves photos and checks them against known child abuse images.
• OpenAI, which screens written notes, comments and photos for content that breaks the rules. It does not use them to train its models.

These are international services, so your data is processed outside the United Arab Emirates. We do not share your data with anyone else, and we never sell it.

Settings, at the bottom, under Sign out. You type your username to confirm.

Your profile disappears from everybody else's view immediately. After 30 days everything is deleted: your profile, every class you logged, every score and note, and everyone you followed. Signing in during those 30 days cancels it, and nothing will have been lost.

Deletion is real deletion, photos included: the files are deleted, not only hidden. We do not keep a copy of your reviews with your name taken off. Once it is gone the public numbers are recalculated without you, so some of them will move.

Two things survive, and neither is about you. Studios, classes and instructors you added to pace stay, with your name removed from them, because they describe other people's businesses rather than your activity. And if somebody reported your account, that report stays in our moderation records.

You can see everything public about you on your own profile, change your display name, bio and city in Settings, and delete everything as described above. If you want a copy of your data or have a question we have not answered here, email hello@justpace.app.

Every profile and review can be reported. Reports are not visible to the person reported, and we do not tell them who reported them. You can also block anyone, which removes you from each other's view.

An intimate photo of you posted without your consent: report it from the photo in the app, or, if you don't use pace, email hello@justpace.app with your name, how to reach you, and the person's username or a description of the photo, saying that it was posted without your consent. We remove it within 48 hours of a valid request.

If we change how any of this works, we will change this page and update the date at the top. If a change materially affects what is shared about you, we will tell you in the app rather than relying on you checking.
