TrueLean Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 31, 2026

TrueLean is a motorcycle lean-angle and ride-telemetry app published by Zaden Connell ("Zaden Connell," "we," "us"). This policy explains what the app accesses, how it's used, and where it goes. In short: we never receive your ride data. It stays on your device, and - if you leave iCloud sync on - in your own private iCloud, which only you can access. The one thing we can receive is anonymous counts of how the app is used, and only if you switch that on yourself - see "Optional usage data" below.

Information the app accesses

• Location (GPS). Used to record your speed, distance, and ride route, and to keep recording while the app is in the background during a ride. Location is used only while you are running or recording a ride.
• Motion sensors (gyroscope, accelerometer). Used to measure your motorcycle's lean angle and g-forces. Motion data is processed on your device in real time.

How your data is stored

• Rides - including route, speed, lean, and g-force data - are stored locally on your device.
• iCloud sync (on by default, optional). When enabled, your rides are backed up to and synced through your own private iCloud so they survive a lost or replaced phone and appear on your other devices. This uses Apple's iCloud under your Apple Account and is governed by Apple's privacy policy; Zaden Connell operates no servers and cannot see this data. You can turn sync off in Settings → iCloud Sync, after which rides stay only on the device.
• Optional raw sensor logs (off by default) are saved as files on your device, are not synced to iCloud, and are never uploaded anywhere unless you choose to export and share them.

What we collect

Your ride data, never. TrueLean does not transmit your location, motion, routes, speeds, or ride records to Zaden Connell or to anyone else. There are no accounts, no advertising, no data brokers, and no third-party analytics SDKs of any kind.

Anonymous usage data, only if you turn it on. TrueLean has an optional setting, off by default, that shares counts of how the app is used so it can be improved. You are asked about it exactly once - at the end of setup if you are new, or on your first launch after updating if you are not - on a screen where declining is one tap and costs you nothing. TrueLean never asks again. You can change your mind at any time in Settings → Data & Privacy → Help Improve TrueLean, where you can also read every record before and after it is sent.

If you enable iCloud sync, your rides go only to your own private iCloud (see "How your data is stored") - never to us.

Optional usage data

This section describes the optional setting only. If you have not turned it on, nothing in this section happens and no usage data is created, stored, or sent.

What is included. Counts and wide brackets, never values:

• How many times a screen, control, or export was used.
• Whether mount calibration was started and whether it succeeded, whether GPS dropped out during a ride, and whether the lean model loaded - the sensor pipeline's own health.
• The rough shape of rides in brackets - for example "a ride between 20 and 50 km" with "a lean between 25 and 35 degrees" - never an actual distance, speed, or lean angle.
• Whether the TrueLean Pro screen was opened and whether a purchase followed.
• Your app version, your iOS major version, your iPhone model, and which settings you have switched on.
• Performance measurements from Apple's MetricKit: launch time, freeze time, foreground time, CPU time, and how long location services ran. Crash and hang reports are not collected - those go to Apple under the separate choice you made in your iOS settings.

What is never included. No name, email, or account. No location, route, map data, or coordinate of any kind. No ride dates, times, durations, distances, speeds, or lean angles as actual values. No bike make, model, or nickname. No raw sensor logs and nothing you export. No advertising identifier, no device identifier we create, and no cross-app or cross-site tracking.

How often, and where it goes. Counts accumulate on your device for a week at a time and are sent, if at all, when the app is in the background. They go to a database in TrueLean's own Apple CloudKit container, which only Zaden Connell can read. Apple stamps each record with an anonymous identifier that is specific to this app; it is generated by Apple, is different for every app, and cannot be used to identify you or resolved to your Apple Account, your name, or your email. Because that identifier is stable, this data is best described as pseudonymous rather than perfectly anonymous, and we would rather say so than round it off. Records are kept for at most 13 months.

How to turn it off and erase it. Settings → Data & Privacy → Help Improve TrueLean. Turning the switch off deletes every record already sent, as well as everything held on your device - you do not have to ask us, and there is nothing to wait for. The same screen has a Delete My Usage Data button, and shows you the records themselves so you can check.

Tracking

TrueLean does not track you across apps or websites and does not share data with data brokers. Nothing described above is used for advertising, is sold, or is shared with anyone.

Sharing and exporting

If you choose to export a ride (GPX/CSV) or share a raw sensor log, that data leaves your device only through the destination you pick (for example, AirDrop, Messages, or a file you save). That sharing is under your control, and the recipient's handling of the data is outside Zaden Connell's control.

Apple Health

TrueLean can save a finished ride to Apple Health as a workout, and only ever writes to Health - it requests no permission to read your health data and never does.

• Off by default. Nothing reaches Health unless you save a ride from its menu, or turn on Settings → Data & Privacy → Save Rides to Apple Health. You can revoke access at any time in the iOS Settings app under Health → Data Access & Devices.
• What a saved workout contains: the ride's start and end time, its GPS route, and TrueLean's own ride details (maximum lean angle and direction, distance traveled).
• What it deliberately doesn't contain: no distance or energy samples. Riding a motorcycle isn't the rider's own physical effort, so TrueLean does not add miles or calories to your fitness totals or activity rings.
• Workouts saved this way live in your Health store on your device, under Apple's privacy terms. Zaden Connell never receives them.

Children's privacy

TrueLean is not directed to children and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone. Because the app collects nothing and creates no accounts, it does not knowingly collect data from children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction).

Your rights and control over your data

Because Zaden Connell never receives your data, you have full control over it:

• Delete any ride, or all rides, from within the app (Settings → Data & Privacy → Delete All Rides). With iCloud sync on, deletions remove the rides from your iCloud too.
• Turn iCloud sync off at any time (Settings → iCloud Sync) to keep rides only on the device.
• Raw sensor logs can be deleted individually in the app.
• Turn optional usage sharing off, or delete everything it has ever sent, in Settings → Data & Privacy → Help Improve TrueLean.
• Deleting the app removes its on-device data; rides you synced remain in your iCloud until you delete them or sign out of iCloud.

Depending on where you live (for example, under the GDPR or the CCPA/CPRA), you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data a company holds about you. If you have never turned on usage sharing, Zaden Connell holds no data about you at all. If you have, the usage records described above are the only data we hold, and the app itself gives you access to them and a one-tap way to erase them - no request, no waiting period, and no way for us to refuse.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted here with a new "Last updated" date.
