Aeroloop Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-05-23 Version: 1.2.0

TL;DR

Your data stays on your watch. Aeroloop does not collect, transmit, or sell any personal data. We have no servers, no analytics service, no third-party trackers.

What Aeroloop reads

To provide its features, Aeroloop reads from your Garmin watch’s local sensors and history:

Heart Rate (current and during sessions)
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) — from your watch’s existing history
Stress Score — from your watch’s existing history
Body Battery — from your watch’s existing history
Time of day — for Diagnose’s circadian-aware recommendations

None of this data leaves your watch.

What Aeroloop stores

Locally on your watch via Application.Storage:

Key	Purpose	Size
`history`	Last 20 breathing sessions (duration, protocol, biometric deltas)	~3 KB
`streak`	Days of consecutive practice	< 100 bytes
`totalSessions`	All-time session count	< 100 bytes
`prefVibration`, `prefBacklight`, `prefAccentColor`, `prefEndMode`, `prefEndValue`	User preferences	< 200 bytes
`lastPattern`	Last protocol used (for Repeat shortcut)	< 100 bytes
`analytics`	Anonymous usage counters (opt-out in Settings)	~1.5 KB
`lastBoltSec`, `lastButeykoSec`	Most recent breath-hold test results	< 100 bytes
`onboardingComplete`, `disclaimerAck`	First-launch flags	< 100 bytes

Total: well under Garmin’s 50 KB app storage limit.

FIT activity recording

When you complete a breathing session ≥ 30 seconds, Aeroloop creates a standard Garmin FIT activity (sub-sport: Yoga) so the session appears in Garmin Connect as a workout. This is the same mechanism used by every Garmin recording app.

Garmin Connect is governed by Garmin’s own privacy policy. Aeroloop does not access or transmit Garmin Connect data.

Analytics

Aeroloop’s “Stats” feature (toggle in Settings) tracks anonymous usage counters on your watch only:

App opens, active days, install date
Which menu items, intentions, protocols you use
Diagnose runs and acceptance rate
Session completions vs abandonments
Time-of-day buckets

This data never leaves your watch. It powers the “Your Aeroloop” view that shows you your own practice patterns. You can disable analytics or wipe all counters from Settings → Stats.

What Aeroloop does NOT collect

❌ Name, email, location, age, gender, weight, or any identity
❌ Network traffic, IP address, device serial
❌ Audio, video, photos, or messages
❌ Contacts or calendar
❌ Any data sent to third parties

Aeroloop is not intended for users under 13. Connect IQ Store requires you to comply with Garmin’s age policies.
