First Ultra — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 19 October 2026

First Ultra is an iPhone and Apple Watch app that builds an ultramarathon training plan and tracks your runs and optional strength sessions. This policy explains what the app does with your information. The short version: your data stays on your devices and in your own iCloud account. We don't have servers, we don't collect anything, and we don't sell or share anything.

What the app stores

The app keeps the following on your iPhone (and, if you use the watch app, on your Apple Watch):

• Your plan settings: race distance, date, time limit and elevation gain, running level, weekly schedule, tune-up races, and any strength settings you enter (equipment, baseline weights).
• Your training log: what you logged for each day, including minutes, distance, effort, notes, cross-training and lifting sets.
• Your runs: date, time, distance, pace, splits, elevation gain, and the GPS route of runs you track with the app. Runs recorded on the watch also include average heart rate.
• Preferences: cue style, eating reminders, rest times, and your custom run/walk settings.

None of this is sent to us. We have no accounts, no servers and no analytics.

iCloud

If your iPhone is signed in to iCloud with iCloud Drive turned on, the app copies the data above to your private iCloud storage, so it survives reinstalling the app and syncs to another iPhone on the same Apple Account. This data lives in Apple's iCloud under your account; we cannot see it. You can turn iCloud Drive off for First Ultra in iOS Settings at any time.

Location

The app uses your location only while you are tracking a run, to measure distance and pace and draw the route. Tracking keeps working with the screen locked. Location is never used when you are not tracking a run, and routes are stored only on your devices, in your iCloud (see above), and in Apple Health if you choose that.

Apple Health

With your permission, the app writes workouts to Apple Health:

• The iPhone app saves runs you track on the phone as running workouts, with distance, elevation and route, and cross-training and strength sessions as workouts.
• The watch app saves runs and strength sessions as workouts and reads your heart rate during them.

Health data is used only to show you your workout and to save it to Apple Health. It is never used for advertising, marketing or data mining, and is never shared with third parties. You can change or revoke Health access at any time in the Health app under Sharing → Apps.

Apple Watch

The iPhone and watch apps exchange your plan, settings and finished workouts directly between the two devices using Apple's Watch Connectivity. Nothing passes through any server of ours.

Live Activities and notifications

During a run, the app may show a Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. This shows only the current run and is handled entirely on your device. With your permission, the app shows local notifications when a rest timer or cross-training timer ends while the phone is locked; these are scheduled on your device. The app does not send push notifications.

Tracking and third parties

The app does not track you, contains no advertising, and uses no third-party analytics, advertising or crash-reporting services. It makes no network requests of its own; all syncing is done by Apple's iCloud, Health and Watch Connectivity frameworks under your Apple Account.

Purchases

The full version is a one-time purchase made through Apple's App Store. Apple handles the payment; we never see your payment details. The app checks your purchase with the App Store only to unlock features.

Deleting your data

• Deleting the app removes all its data from that device.
• To remove the iCloud copy, delete the app's data in iOS Settings → [your name] → iCloud → Manage Account Storage, or turn off iCloud Drive for First Ultra and delete the app.
• Workouts saved to Apple Health can be deleted in the Health app, or by deleting the run inside First Ultra.

Children

First Ultra is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect information from them.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at this address with an updated date.
