Usage Data (Optional)
- We may collect anonymized usage information (for example, screens viewed and feature interactions) to help improve the App’s user experience.
2. How We Use Your Information
- Functionality: To calculate “distance since last wax” and notify you when it’s time to re‑wax your chain.
- Customization: To remember your preferences and settings.
- Improvement: To analyze anonymous usage trends and fix bugs.
3. Data Storage & Security
- On-Device Storage: All personal data (ride data and preferences) is stored locally on your device.
- Secure Transmission: Any data retrieved from Strava is transmitted over secure, encrypted connections.
- No External Sharing: We do not share your personal data with third parties except as required by law.
