Privacy policy

• No account. You don't sign up, and we don't ask for your name, email or date of birth.
• Your rides stay on your phone. Settings, rides and paired devices are stored in the app's private storage. We don't run a server that receives them.
• Health data is shared only when you say so. Rides go to Health Connect (or Apple Health) only if you switch it on. The app never reads your health data.
• We never sell your information and we never use health or ride data for advertising.

Compo Turbo is an indoor cycling app for smart trainers, made by Richard Booth, trading as CompoID (“we”, “us”). Under UK and EU data protection law, we are responsible for how the app handles your information.

You can contact us about privacy at any time: admin@compo-app.com.

To work, Compo Turbo keeps the following on your device. None of it is sent to us.

Your settings

FTP, weight, display units, colour theme, text size and whether you've finished setup.

Your rides

When each ride started and ended, the workout you rode, and second-by-second power, cadence, heart rate, speed and target power. Also the totals worked out from them, such as average power, TSS and energy.

Paired devices

The name and Bluetooth address of your trainer and sensors, so the app can reconnect to them automatically.

Ride recovery files

While you ride, a short-lived file keeps the ride safe if the app is closed. It's deleted once the ride is saved.

Exported files

When you export a ride, the FIT file is written to the app's temporary folder and replaced the next time you export.

Bluetooth

To find and connect to your smart trainer, power meter, heart rate monitor and cadence sensor.

Location

Android 11 and older only. Android requires it before an app can scan for Bluetooth devices. Compo Turbo never reads or stores your location. On Android 12 and newer, location isn't requested.

Notifications

To show live ride stats while you ride and keep the ride running when the screen is off or you switch apps.

Health Connect

Optional, and write-only: to save your finished rides to Health Connect. See the health policy.

You can withdraw any permission at any time in your phone's settings.

Only when you choose to do something that needs it:

• Health Connect and Apple Health. If you switch it on, each finished ride is written to the health app on your phone. Details are in the health policy.
• Exporting a ride. EXPORT FIT opens your phone's share sheet. The file goes only where you send it, such as Strava, Garmin Connect, your email or cloud storage, and that service's privacy policy then applies.
• Sending feedback. SEND FEEDBACK opens a draft in your own email app. It includes the app version and your phone's operating system so we can reproduce problems. You can edit or delete any of it before sending. We use your email only to reply and to fix the problem, and we delete it when it's no longer needed.
• Phone backups. If you have Android backup or iCloud Backup turned on, your phone may include the app's settings and rides in its backup. Backups are handled by Google or Apple under your account and settings, not by us.
• Links. Links in the app, such as this page, open in your browser.

Where Compo Turbo shows ads, they are banner ads from Google AdMob. Ads are never shown during a ride.

• Consent first. In the UK, EEA and Switzerland, we ask for your consent before any ad is requested, using Google's consent form. On iPhone, we ask before any tracking, as Apple's App Tracking Transparency requires. If you say no, you may still see ads, but they won't be personalised.
• What Google may collect. To show and measure ads, Google may collect your device's advertising ID, IP address and how you interact with ads. See how Google uses information from apps that use its services.
• What ads never get. Your rides, heart rate, power, weight, FTP or any other health and fitness data.
• Change your mind. You can change your choice at any time in Settings › Privacy & ads › Ad consent.

If the app downloads workout updates from compo-app.com, the request contains no personal information. Like most websites, our host (Vercel) keeps standard server logs, such as IP address, browser type and time of request, for a short time for security and to keep the service running. This website doesn't use advertising or tracking cookies.

• We don't use analytics or tracking tools in the app.
• We don't sell, rent or trade your information.
• We don't track your location.
• We don't share your ride or health data with anyone, unless you send it somewhere yourself.

Your rides stay on your phone until you delete them. You can:

• delete a single ride from its summary screen (DELETE RIDE);
• clear everything by uninstalling the app, or with your phone's Settings › Apps › Compo Turbo › Storage › Clear data.

Deleting a ride in Compo Turbo doesn't delete copies you've already exported, backed up or written to Health Connect or Apple Health. Manage those in the app or service that holds them.

Under UK and EU data protection law, you have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to the use of your personal information, and to receive a copy of it. Because Compo Turbo keeps your data on your phone, you can do most of this yourself in the app. For anything we hold, such as a feedback email, contact us at admin@compo-app.com and we'll reply within one month.

If you're unhappy with how we've handled your information, you can complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk or to your local data protection authority.

Compo Turbo isn't aimed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from them. If you think a child has sent us information, contact us and we'll delete it.

The app keeps your data in its private storage, which other apps can't read. It's protected by your phone's screen lock and encryption, so keep your phone locked and up to date.

If we change how Compo Turbo handles your information, for example by adding an optional connection to another service, we'll update this page and the date at the top before the change reaches the app.
