Odopair privacy policy

Effective 11 November 2026

Odopair is an iPhone app by Orkhan Ahmadov that tracks the mileage of your running shoes. This policy explains what the app uses, where it keeps it, and what never leaves your devices.

The short version

• No account, no ads, no analytics and no tracking.
• Your workouts from Apple Health stay on your iPhone.
• The developer never receives your data.

Apple Health

With your permission, Odopair reads from Apple Health:

• workouts (running, and walking or hiking if you turn them on);
• walking and running distance, to find your fastest kilometre;
• heart rate, to show a workout's average.

The app uses this only to count each shoe's mileage and to suggest which shoe you wore. It never writes to Apple Health, never sends Health data to the developer or anyone else, never uses it for advertising, and never stores it in iCloud. Workout details are kept in the app's storage on your iPhone. You can change or remove the app's access at any time in the Health app or in Settings → Privacy & Security → Health.

What you enter

Your shoes (brand, model, role, size, price, notes, dates, retirement target and photos) and which shoe you chose for each workout are stored on your iPhone.

iCloud sync

When iCloud sync is on, Odopair keeps your shoe list, shoe photos and your shoe choices in your private iCloud database through Apple's CloudKit, so they appear on your other iPhones signed in to the same Apple Account. A shoe choice records only the workout's identifier, the chosen shoe and when you chose it; it contains no distance, pace, heart rate or workout date. Your private iCloud database belongs to your Apple Account: the developer cannot see or access it. Apple's privacy policy covers iCloud.

Your app preferences (such as units and suggestion thresholds) may sync through iCloud too. They contain no Health data.

Photos and links

You can add a shoe photo with the camera, from your photo library, or from a web link. Camera and library photos are used only for the shoe you add; the app reads only the photo you pick. Background removal runs on your iPhone.

If you add a photo from a link, the app downloads that web page or image directly from the website you entered. As with any web request, that website receives your IP address and the app's name ("Odopair/1.0"). Nothing is sent to the developer.

Notifications

New-run and retirement notifications are created on your iPhone. When iCloud sync is on, Apple may deliver silent notifications that tell the app to fetch your iCloud changes.

Backups and deleting your data

Your iPhone's backup (iCloud Backup or a computer backup) includes the app's data, as with any app. Deleting the app removes its data from your iPhone. To delete synced data from iCloud, go to Settings → [your name] → iCloud → Manage Storage (or Storage) → Odopair and delete its data.

Children

Odopair is not directed at children under 13 and collects no information from anyone.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new effective date.
