By accessing or using Chain Wax, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

Strava Data

• When you connect your Strava account, we obtain read-only ride data (such as bike identifiers and mileage) necessary to calculate and track your chain‑waxing intervals.

App Preferences

• We store your app settings, including preferred distance units (miles or kilometers), waxing intervals, and ride-condition selections.

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.

4. Data Retention

• Strava Data: We fetch updated Strava ride data each time you open the App and do not retain detailed historical data longer than needed for current functionality.
• App Preferences: Your settings and wax history remain on your device until you choose to clear or uninstall the App.

5. Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with outside parties. We may disclose data if legally required by law enforcement or regulatory authorities.
