This Privacy Policy explains how Aero (“Aero,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you use the Aero mobile application and related services (the “Service”). Aero is a running and training app for athletes and coaches. By using the Service, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
With your permission, Aero collects fitness and health-related data that is either entered manually, imported from the health platform on your device — Apple Health (HealthKit) on iOS and Android Health Connect on Android — or imported from a wearable or fitness account you connect through our wearable-integration provider, Terra (see Section 2). This data may originate from a connected smartwatch or wearable (for example, an Apple Watch, a Wear OS / Android watch, or a Garmin, Fitbit, Oura, Whoop, Polar, Suunto, Withings, or Coros device). This may include:
Aero requests the following Health Connect read permissions. We never request any write permissions — Aero does not modify your Health Connect data.
| Permission | What we read | Why |
|---|---|---|
READ_EXERCISE | Workouts and runs (type, start/end time, duration) | Import your runs into your Aero training log. |
READ_EXERCISE_ROUTES | GPS coordinates recorded during a workout | Display the route map for each imported run. |
READ_HEART_RATE | Heart-rate samples during workouts | Show average, max, and per-second heart rate for each run. |
READ_RESTING_HEART_RATE | Daily resting heart-rate readings | Track recovery trends on your Stats screen. |
READ_HEART_RATE_VARIABILITY | HRV samples | Track recovery and readiness trends. |
READ_VO2_MAX | VO₂ max estimates | Show your fitness trend over time. |
READ_DISTANCE | Distance covered during workouts | Compute mileage totals and pace. |
READ_ELEVATION_GAINED | Elevation gain during workouts | Display elevation profile and totals for each run. |
READ_STEPS | Step counts | Show daily activity context alongside your runs. |
READ_ACTIVE_CALORIES_BURNED | Active calories burned during workouts | Show energy expenditure for each run. |
READ_SLEEP | Sleep duration and stages | Track recovery alongside training load. |
Aero imports your activities and health data from two kinds of sources, in each case only after you grant permission:
For each imported run we keep an external identifier for the source activity so we don’t import the same run twice. You can disconnect a connected account at any time in Profile → Settings → Connected Devices, and revoke on-device health access in your device settings.
Aero does not use third-party advertising networks or cross-app advertising trackers, and we do not collect your data for advertising purposes.
In addition to Health Connect (covered above), Aero requests the following Android runtime permissions. You can review or revoke them at any time in your device’s Settings → Apps → Aero → Permissions.
| Permission | What it’s used for |
|---|---|
ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION & ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION | Recording GPS routes while you are actively tracking a run. Aero only collects location while a run is in progress and the app is in the foreground — we do not request background-location access. |
READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE / READ_MEDIA_IMAGES | Reading the image you pick from your photo library to set or update your profile photo. Aero does not scan or upload any other files. |
VIBRATE | Producing short haptic feedback for in-app interactions (for example, when you complete a run or receive a notification). |
INTERNET | Sending your runs, profile changes, and other in-app actions to Aero’s servers over HTTPS. |
Aero does not request microphone, camera, contacts, SMS, call-log, background-location, or "draw over other apps" permissions on Android.
Aero brings your training and health data in from two kinds of sources, and only with your permission:
Aero requests read-only access to the workout and health data types listed in Section 1.b (and, on Android, the specific Health Connect permissions in the table above). We never request or hold write permissions, so Aero cannot add to, change, or delete the data in Apple Health or Health Connect.
Data read from Apple Health, Health Connect, or a Terra-connected account is used only to provide the features you request — recording your runs and showing your stats, trends, streaks, and personal bests, and (where you permit) sharing a run with your coach or followers. We do not use it for advertising or marketing, we do not sell it, and we do not use it to train AI or machine-learning models. We share it only with the infrastructure providers that operate the Service on our behalf (see Section 5) or as you explicitly direct.
To let you sync a wearable or fitness account that isn’t written to Apple Health or Health Connect, Aero uses Terra (a service operated by Terra Enabling Developers, Inc.), a third-party provider that connects to wearable and fitness platforms on your behalf. When you connect an account (for example Garmin or Whoop), you sign in on that provider’s own screen through Terra’s connection widget, which opens in your device’s system browser. Terra securely holds the resulting authorization for that account — Aero never receives your third-party login credentials or access tokens. Aero stores only an opaque Terra connection identifier and the provider’s name. Terra then retrieves your workouts, heart-rate data, daily health metrics (such as resting heart rate, HRV, and VO₂ max), and sleep data from the connected account and delivers them to Aero so we can show them in your training log and stats. Terra’s own handling of your data is governed by Terra’s Privacy Policy. We use data received through Terra only to provide the features you request; we never use it for advertising and never sell it.
You can revoke Aero’s access at any time:
Revoking or disconnecting stops Aero from reading new data. Runs and health data already imported into your training log remain until you delete the individual run or your account (see Section 7).
Aero offers optional AI-generated insights, summaries, and answers to coaching questions. To produce these, relevant workout, performance, and context data is sent through our backend to Google’s Gemini API solely to generate the requested result, which is then returned to you. This processing is governed by Google’s applicable terms. We do not permit your data to be used to serve you advertising.
| Who | What & why |
|---|---|
| Coaches & teammates | Coaches you join can view your training data; teammates and other users can see content according to the visibility settings you choose for your profile and each run. |
| Service providers | Supabase provides our database, authentication, and storage; Google LLC (Gemini API) provides the AI processing described in Section 4; RevenueCat, Inc. receives your user ID and subscription purchase history for subscription management on iOS and Android; Terra (Terra Enabling Developers, Inc.) connects Aero to the wearable and fitness accounts you choose to link and delivers your workout, heart-rate, daily health, and sleep data to us (subject to Terra's privacy policy); Google LLC (Google Maps SDK) receives GPS route coordinates from our Android app to render route maps (subject to Google's privacy policy); Open-Meteo receives a run's GPS coordinates and date to return the historical or forecast weather shown on that run — no account, name, or other identifier is sent (subject to Open-Meteo's terms); Stripe, Inc. processes payment card data for web checkout (web platform only; not used in mobile apps). These providers process data on our behalf under their own commitments. |
| Health platform on your device | If you grant access to Apple Health or Android Health Connect, Aero reads the data types you authorize from that platform on your device. Aero does not send your data back to those platforms. |
| Wearable & fitness accounts you connect | If you connect a wearable or fitness account (Garmin, Fitbit, Oura, Whoop, Polar, Suunto, Withings, or Coros) through Terra, that provider shares your workout and health data with us via Terra, according to the authorization you grant. Aero reads this data; it does not send data back to those providers. |
| Legal & safety | We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Aero, our users, or the public. |
| Business transfers | If Aero is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to this policy. |
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share your health or precise-location data with third parties for their own marketing.
| Category | Retention period |
|---|---|
| Account & profile data | Retained until you delete your account |
| Run records | Retained until you delete the individual run or delete your account |
| Daily health & sleep snapshots | Retained until you delete your account |
| Connected-account links (via Terra) | Retained until you disconnect the account or delete your account. Disconnecting revokes Terra’s access; already-imported runs and health data remain until you delete them or your account. |
| Social data (follows, kudos, comments) | Retained until you delete your account or delete the specific item |
| Avatar images | Deleted from storage when you replace the image or delete your account |
Deleted data is removed from the live database immediately. Automated backups may retain a snapshot for up to 7 days after deletion, after which it is permanently purged.
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at admin@aero-app.com. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.
Aero is intended for users 13 years of age and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us at admin@aero-app.com and we will delete it. If you are between 13 and 18, please use Aero only with the involvement and consent of a parent, guardian, or coach.
We use technical and organizational measures to protect your information:
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Aero is operated using infrastructure that may be located in the United States. If you access the Service from outside the United States, you understand that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States and other countries where our service providers operate.
Residents of certain U.S. states (such as California) may have additional rights regarding their personal information, including the right to know, delete, and correct, and the right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under applicable state law. To exercise your rights, contact us at admin@aero-app.com.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice within the app.
