Effective date: June 1, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how the EBRA Zone Trainer mobile app (the "App") handles your information. The App is published by E-Bike Riders of America ("EBRA", "we", "us", or "our"). The App is free to use and is designed to keep your workout data on your device.
This Privacy Policy applies to the EBRA Zone Trainer mobile app for iOS (including the Apple Watch companion app) and for Android. It does not apply to the EBRA website at ebikeridersofamerica.org, to EBRA membership signups, or to physical product fulfillment, all of which are governed by EBRA's general practices and any disclosures presented at signup. If you create an EBRA membership on our website, the information you provide there (such as your name, email, billing details, and shipping address) is handled by EBRA's membership systems and is not collected by the App.
EBRA Zone Trainer is designed so that information stays on your device. The categories of information the App handles, and where they live, are:
The App does not collect:
The App requests the minimum set of system permissions it needs to function. Each permission can be denied at any time in your device's Settings; the affected feature will be unavailable but the rest of the App will still work.
| Permission | Why the App needs it |
|---|---|
| Bluetooth | Connect to your heart-rate strap during workouts. |
| Location (while in use) | Show your current speed during a workout. The App does not record GPS routes. |
| HealthKit (Apple Health) — read | Read your heart rate from Apple Watch during a workout. |
| HealthKit (Apple Health) — write | Save your workout to Apple Health if you choose to. |
| Motion & Fitness (Android: BODY_SENSORS) | Receive heart-rate samples from a paired wearable. |
| Notifications (Android foreground service) | Display a persistent notification while a workout is running so the workout keeps recording when you switch to a navigation app. |
On iOS, you may choose to grant the App permission to read your heart rate from HealthKit during a workout (so the App can use your Apple Watch as a heart-rate source) and to write completed workouts to HealthKit (so they appear in your Apple Health activity history). HealthKit access is governed by Apple and is controlled per data type in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Health. Data written by the App to HealthKit becomes part of your Apple Health store, which is managed by Apple under Apple's privacy controls. The App does not send your HealthKit data anywhere off your device.
If you want the App to stop reading from or writing to Apple Health, you can revoke its HealthKit permissions in iOS Settings at any time. Workouts already written to Apple Health remain there until you remove them through the Apple Health app.
Heart-rate samples, workout history, and app settings are stored on your device. If you delete the App, this on-device data is removed by the operating system along with the App. Workouts that you previously chose to write to Apple Health remain in Apple Health and can be deleted from the Apple Health app.
Because the App keeps your data on your device, the most important protections are the security of your device itself: keep your operating system up to date, use a passcode or biometric unlock, and avoid installing apps from sources you do not trust. Bluetooth pairing between the App and your heart-rate strap uses the device's standard Bluetooth Low Energy security.
The App is intended for adults. It is not directed to children under 13. The App does not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has used the App in a way you have concerns about, please contact us.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights under laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act, the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation, or similar laws to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal information. Because the App does not transmit your information to EBRA, the practical way to exercise these rights for App data is to delete the App, which removes the on-device data. For data held by Apple in HealthKit, please use the Apple Health app and Apple's privacy tools. If you have a specific request about App data and would like our help, contact us using the information below.
The App relies on Apple iOS, watchOS, and HealthKit (on iOS) and Google Android Health Services (on Android) to provide system-level functionality. These platforms have their own privacy policies that govern how they handle information at the operating-system level. The App does not bundle any third-party advertising SDKs, analytics SDKs, or social SDKs.
If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will update the effective date above and post the revised policy at this URL. Your continued use of the App after the updated policy is posted means you accept the updated policy.
