LanePrivacy Policy
Effective November 8, 2026
Lane gives runners and swimmers three answers before they head out: what to wear, what to swim and what to play. It does that on your iPhone, from data you already have in Apple Health. There is no Lane account, no advertising and no tracking, and we never sell data.
Health data stays on your iPhone
With your permission, Lane reads these types from Apple Health: workouts (runs and swims), sleep, heart rate variability, heart rate, steps, walking and running distance, running speed and stride length, swimming distance and stroke count, and body weight. Lane uses them on your device to build your run card, swim plans, cadence and trends.
Lane never sends health data to us or to anyone else, and never writes to Apple Health. You can turn off any type in the Health app › your profile › Apps › Lane; Lane keeps working with what’s left.
What leaves your device, and why
| Data | Sent to | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Your location | Apple (WeatherKit) | To get the hourly forecast for your next run. Only when you allow location access. |
| Song identifiers (ISRC codes) from your Apple Music library; for songs without one, the title and artist | ReccoBeats, a public song tempo database | To look up each song’s tempo and to find songs at your running cadence. Nothing that identifies you is included. |
| A song’s ISRC code and its tempo | Apple’s iCloud public database (CloudKit) for Lane | So a tempo looked up once can be reused by every Lane user. It contains no information about you. If you’re signed in to iCloud, Apple records that the entry was created by an anonymous identifier specific to Lane. |
| Your run card (usual session times, the forecast, comfort setting and last night’s sleep) | Your own Apple Watch | So the Lane Watch app and complications can show it. Sent directly from your iPhone to your paired watch. |
Any internet request also reveals your IP address to the service that receives it.
Stored on your device
Lane keeps a small amount of data on your iPhone and Apple Watch: your comfort setting and feedback answers, your units and notification settings, recent recommendations, a cache of song tempos, the latest forecast, and your approximate location (rounded to about 1 km, kept up to 7 days and not backed up) so the forecast can refresh in the background. Deleting Lane deletes all of it.
Apple Music
With your permission, Lane reads your Apple Music library to build cadence queues and plays songs through Apple Music. Your listening history isn’t collected.
Notifications
Lane’s notifications (the heads-up before a usual run or swim, and the question after a run) are scheduled on your device. They don’t go through a Lane server.
Analytics
Lane doesn’t collect analytics. If we add optional, anonymous usage statistics later, they will be off unless you turn them on, and we’ll update this policy first.
Children
Lane isn’t directed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect information from them.
Changes
If this policy changes, we’ll update this page and its effective date. Significant changes will also be noted in the app’s release notes.
