The short version: Jump Rope Protocol keeps your training on your devices and syncs it through your own iCloud, where we can’t see it. The app has no account and no ads. If you enable usage analytics, PostHog measures onboarding, app usage and Pro purchases. We receive activity milestones, such as starting or finishing a session, but never its measurements or Apple Health data. Sentry receives technical crash reports from the iPhone app to help us fix bugs. A session report you choose to send us carries that session’s motion, so we can fix its count.
The app
- Your sessions, ropes, workouts, programs and settings are stored in the app, on your iPhone or iPad. When you’re signed in to iCloud, Apple keeps a copy in your iCloud account so your devices stay the same; we have no access to it, and it counts toward your iCloud storage. Their contents aren’t sent to us or to anyone else, unless you share a program or a workout (below).
- Motion. With your permission, the app reads your AirPods’ head motion during a session to count your jumps. It’s processed on your device. The app keeps the jumps it counted and, on that device only, the motion of your last five sessions, so you can send one in a session report (below).
- Heart rate. With your permission, the app connects over Bluetooth to a heart-rate strap you pair, and reads your heart rate and the strap’s battery during a session. The readings are kept with the session.
- Apple Health. If you allow it, the app reads your most recent weight from Apple Health to estimate calories, and saves each session there as a jump rope workout, with its calories and heart rate. Health data is never shared or used for advertising.
- Purchases go through Apple. We never receive your payment details.
- Product and purchase analytics. These are optional and off by default. The app asks you once, after onboarding, and sends nothing until you agree. Enable or withdraw consent in Settings › Share usage analytics, for the iPhone and its paired Watch. Turning this off stops new collection and sending on the iPhone; the paired Watch receives this choice when it reconnects. The iPhone rejects Watch events after withdrawal. Turning analytics back on does not send events from before the new consent. Events already sent remain in PostHog. When enabled, PostHog receives onboarding steps, session start and end events, selected feature actions, AI setup shortcuts, import and save outcomes, technical error categories, and Pro purchase and restore events. These include timestamps, the kind of action, iPhone or Watch, Pro status when known, app and device information, and a random installation identifier. Purchase attempts also include the product, displayed price and currency. Watch activity events are relayed through the paired iPhone. We do not send session measurements (jumps, duration, calories, heart rate or weight), session or program contents, custom names, import links, AI prompts, raw error messages, payment details or App Store transaction identifiers. Screen recording, automatic interaction capture and location enrichment are disabled. Deleting the app removes its local data; it does not remove analytics already sent to PostHog.
- Shared programs and workouts. When you share one of your programs or workouts, the app sends a copy of it to this site, where Cloudflare keeps it so the link works: its name, its weeks and its sessions with their settings. The copy holds nothing about you, and anyone with the link can see it. Opening a shared link reads the copy from this site. You can ask us to delete a copy you shared.
- Session reports. When a session’s count looks wrong, you can send us a report of it from the session in Progress › Sessions or from Settings › Diagnostics. It holds the motion your headphones recorded during that session, its timeline (jumps, pauses, phases, audio and app changes), its settings, your headphones’ name, your note and jump count if you give them, the app’s version, the iPhone model and its iOS version. It holds no account, email address or Apple Health data. Cloudflare keeps it on this site until a week after we download it, 90 days at most, and a summary with your note is posted to our private Discord channel. It’s used only to fix counting. To have one deleted sooner, send us its code.
- Crash diagnostics. The iPhone app sends Sentry crash stack traces, technical failure details, app version and build, device model, operating system information, and app-session diagnostics associated with a random installation identifier. Sentry processes these reports in the United States. We do not attach workout or Apple Health data, screenshots, screen recordings, interaction histories, network requests, or custom user profiles. Diagnostic reports already sent to Sentry are stored separately from the app's local data.
- The app connects to the internet for iCloud sync, purchases, crash diagnostics, shared programs and workouts, the session reports you send, and product and purchase analytics if you turn them on.
- Deleting your data: delete a session from Progress › Sessions, and it leaves all your devices. If Apple Health is connected, the session’s workout, calories and heart rate leave Apple Health too. Deleting the app removes what it kept on that device; the copy in your iCloud stays until you delete the app’s data from your iCloud storage in the Settings app. What it saved in Apple Health stays there until you delete it in the Health app, and analytics, crash reports, session reports and shared copies already sent are kept separately, as described above. You can take back the app’s access to Apple Health, Motion and Bluetooth at any time in the Settings app.
