Privacy Policy
Heatspace (“Heatspace,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) provides guided sauna timers, session history, optional account sync, an Apple Watch companion, and a moderated sauna finder. This policy explains what information Heatspace processes, why it is processed, and the choices available to you.
Information Heatspace processes
Information you provide
- Profile preferences, including sauna goal, experience, usual setting, preferred duration, weekly goal, and onboarding choices.
- Optional post-session reflections, including mood, perceived intensity, discomfort, temperature, sauna-location snapshot, and notes.
- If you use Sign in with Apple, the Apple-provided account identifier and, when shared, your email address and name.
- Sauna-location proposals, saved sauna identifiers, and listing reports submitted through the Find feature.
- Support communications you choose to send us.
Purchases and identifiers
Apple processes payments for Heatspace Pro. Heatspace does not receive your card or bank details. RevenueCat processes App Store product identifiers, purchase and entitlement status, transaction-related information supplied by Apple, an anonymous RevenueCat identifier, and—after you sign in—your Heatspace/Supabase user identifier so purchases can be restored and Pro access can follow your account.
Session and device information
- Session timing, selected protocol, completion state, and sync state.
- Local app settings and cached entitlement state required to operate the app.
- Basic service diagnostics returned by Apple, RevenueCat, or Supabase when an operation fails.
- Heatspace does not use this information for cross-app tracking or targeted advertising.
Location
If you tap Near me, Heatspace requests your current location to sort and display nearby approved sauna listings. Current location is processed on your device and is not stored as location history or uploaded to Heatspace servers. You can browse and search the sauna finder without granting location access.
Apple Watch and HealthKit
With your permission, the Apple Watch app may read live heart rate during a sauna session and save a completed session as a Mind & Body workout in HealthKit. Average and maximum heart-rate summaries may be transferred to the paired iPhone for the local session summary. Heatspace does not use HealthKit data for advertising, data brokerage, or marketing, and does not sell HealthKit data. The current cloud session payload excludes Apple Watch heart-rate summaries and the calculated heat-load score.
How Heatspace uses information
Heatspace uses information to:
- Operate timers, protocols, session history, Apple Watch connectivity, and safety confirmations.
- Personalize ritual recommendations and calculate on-device wellness summaries.
- Sync your profile, eligible session fields, and saved sauna identifiers when you choose to sign in.
- Provide, verify, and restore Heatspace Pro access.
- Moderate sauna-location proposals and reports and prevent duplicate or abusive submissions.
- Respond to support requests, protect the service, and comply with legal obligations.
- Heatspace does not sell personal information and does not share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising.
Service providers
Heatspace uses the following processors to provide app functionality:
- Apple: Sign in with Apple, App Store purchases, StoreKit, HealthKit, and platform services.
- Supabase: Optional account authentication and cloud sync for profiles, eligible session fields, saved sauna identifiers, and private marketplace submissions.
- RevenueCat: Purchase validation, entitlement state, and purchase restoration.
- These providers process information under their own privacy terms and applicable contractual obligations.
Storage and retention
Session history and preferences may remain only on your device unless you sign in and enable the cloud-backed features described above. Synced account data is retained while your account is active and as reasonably necessary to operate the service, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and meet legal obligations.
When you delete your account in Heatspace, the authenticated deletion process removes the Supabase authentication user and associated private profile, session, and saved-location records. Marketplace submissions may be retained in de-identified form to preserve moderation integrity and prevent abuse. Deleting a Heatspace account does not cancel an Apple subscription; subscriptions are managed separately in your Apple Account settings.
Local app data can also be removed by deleting the app from your device. Health data already saved to HealthKit is controlled through Apple Health and your device settings.
Your choices
- Use the core timer without creating an account.
- Decline or revoke Location and Health permissions in Apple Settings.
- Review or delete local session history from the app where available.
- Restore purchases from the paywall or Account screen.
- Permanently delete a signed-in Heatspace account from Account → Delete account.
- Manage or cancel an Apple subscription at apps.apple.com/account/subscriptions.
- Contact us to ask about your privacy rights, subject to identity verification and applicable law.
Children
Heatspace is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Sauna use by minors should occur only with appropriate adult and medical guidance.
Security and international processing
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards designed to protect information. No storage or transmission method is completely secure. Service providers may process information in countries other than your own, subject to applicable safeguards.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as Heatspace changes. We will update the effective date and provide additional notice when required by law.
