Overview

Norwegian 4x4 is a workout timer app for iPhone and Apple Watch. We take a privacy-first approach: the app works on your devices, and your personal data is not sent to us or to anyone else.

Norwegian 4x4 does not require an account and does not collect personal data on a server. Any feature that shares your data with another service will be something you explicitly choose to enable.

Data the app accesses

With your permission, Norwegian 4x4 reads and writes the following data through Apple HealthKit:

  • Heart rate
  • Workouts
  • Active Energy Burned

This HealthKit data is used solely to run, monitor, and record your workouts and to provide workout-related information to you.

For example, heart rate and active energy data may be used during a workout to display workout metrics and may be used to calculate workout-related metrics on your device.

When you complete a workout, Norwegian 4x4 can save the workout to Apple Health, including the workout information and applicable workout details. This data is stored in Apple Health and is managed by Apple's Health app and iOS.

The app also keeps a history of your completed workouts in local storage on your device so you can review past sessions in the app. This history includes information such as the workout date, duration, per-phase information, and heart-rate summaries. This local history is not transmitted to us or to anyone else.

From your workout data, the app may calculate fitness-related metrics on your device, such as heart-rate recovery after an interval. These calculations are for your personal use and are not medical measurements. They are calculated and stored on your device.

HealthKit data

Norwegian 4x4 uses HealthKit data only to provide health and fitness functionality within the app, including running and recording your workouts and displaying workout-related metrics.

HealthKit data is never used for advertising, marketing, or tracking purposes.

HealthKit data is never sold to advertising platforms, data brokers, information resellers, or any other third party.

Norwegian 4x4 does not share HealthKit data with third parties. The app does not currently transmit HealthKit data to any server, the developer, or any other service.

Any future feature that would share HealthKit data with another service would be strictly opt-in and would require your explicit action and consent.

Data collection

As of this version, Norwegian 4x4 does not transmit your personal data off your device.

The app:

  • Does not have an account or user registration system.
  • Does not use analytics services.
  • Does not use crash-reporting services.
  • Does not contain advertising frameworks.
  • Does not track you across apps or websites.
  • Does not send your workout, HealthKit, or other personal data to a server.
  • Does not sell or share your personal data with third parties.

Your workout history and preferences are stored locally on your device.

Tracking

Norwegian 4x4 does not track you across apps or websites and does not use your data for advertising or targeted advertising.

The app does not use the App Tracking Transparency framework because it does not engage in tracking as defined by Apple's App Store privacy requirements.

Third-party services

Norwegian 4x4 does not currently integrate with third-party services, APIs, analytics services, advertising services, or SDKs that process your personal or HealthKit data.

Children's privacy

Norwegian 4x4 does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13.

Data retention and deletion

Norwegian 4x4 stores your preferences, such as age, maximum heart rate, and workout settings, locally on your device. Your in-app workout history is also stored locally on your device.

You can delete an individual workout from your in-app history at any time from the History screen, or delete your entire in-app history from Settings.

Uninstalling Norwegian 4x4 removes the app's locally stored preferences and workout history from your device.

Workouts saved to Apple Health are managed separately by Apple Health and iOS and may remain in Apple Health after Norwegian 4x4 is uninstalled. To delete workouts saved to Apple Health, open the Apple Health app and delete the applicable workout entries. Deleting a workout from Apple Health also removes the information associated with that workout.

There is no account to delete because Norwegian 4x4 does not create user accounts.
