PACE Privacy Policy
株式会社図解総研 (display name: Zukai Research Institute) ("we", "our", or "us") sets out below how user information is handled in the iOS app "PACE" (the "App").
1. Information We Handle
The App does not require account registration. The following information is handled on your device:
- Input data such as goal title, count, date, and unit
- Achievement history (date/time and notes)
- In-app settings values
- Information referenced for initial language selection (App Store storefront country code and device region information)
2. Where Data Is Stored
The above data is stored on your device. If you are signed in to iCloud, it is also stored in the area of Apple's iCloud (CloudKit) that belongs to your own account, and synced across devices signed in to the same Apple Account. We cannot read this area. There is no mechanism to send and store this data on our servers. Data in iCloud is handled under Apple's privacy policy.
3. Purpose of Use
We use this information to provide goal tracking features, initial language selection, usability/display improvements, and CSV export functionality.
4. Third-Party Disclosure
We do not provide user information to third parties except where required by law.
However, if you export CSV data or share an image and send it to other apps or cloud services, that shared data is handled under the terms/policies of those destination providers. Those services are outside our control.
5. Analytics
The App uses Firebase Analytics (Google Analytics for Firebase), provided by Google LLC, to improve features and quality.
The following information may be collected:
- Screen navigation and views (which screens were opened)
- In-app events (adding/deleting records, creating/editing/duplicating goals, sharing as an image, showing the review prompt, etc.)
- Usage such as app launches and time spent in the app
- Device type, OS version, language settings, and app version
- An identifier that Firebase assigns to each installation of the App (app instance ID)
- Approximate location (country/region) estimated from your IP address
We do not collect the advertising identifier (IDFA). We do not collect names, contact details, or content you enter such as goal names and notes. We do not use the collected data to identify individuals, do not use it for advertising, and do not sell it to third parties.
Firebase starts only after you agree to the Terms of Use and this Privacy Policy at first launch, and usage data is sent from then on. The app does not contact Google's servers before you agree. In version 1.4 and earlier, Firebase contacted Google's servers at first launch to register the installation (issuing the app instance ID), even before you agreed. No usage data was sent at that time. You can disable analytics collection at any time in the app's Settings (Settings > Help improve PACE).
Data handling follows Google's Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
On our website (https://pace.zukai.co/), we also use Google Analytics 4 to analyze access trends and improve the site. Access data may be collected via cookies, and IP anonymization (anonymize_ip) is enabled.
6. Data Deletion
You can delete your data from the in-app settings. This action cannot be undone. When syncing with iCloud, data deleted in the app is also removed from iCloud and your other synced devices. Uninstalling the app does not remove data synced to iCloud; you can delete it from your iPhone's Settings (Apple Account > iCloud). Data included in OS-level backups (for example, iCloud backups) is managed based on your device settings and the OS provider's specifications, and cannot be deleted directly by us.
In-app deletion applies to App data stored on your device and in iCloud. Exported CSV files, data already shared, and copies stored in destination services are not included in this deletion scope.
7. Changes to This Policy
This policy may be revised as needed. Revised content becomes effective when posted on this page. If a change has a material impact on users, we will provide notice in the App or on our website.
