1. Controller
Responsible for ApneaReady and this website:
Antonina Pavlovskaya
Steiner Straße 25
53773 Hennef
Germany
2. Scope of this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy covers two distinct processing contexts:
- the ApneaReady website, including Early Access and Beta registration; and
- the ApneaReady iOS application, including Apple Health, Apple Watch and local training data.
Website processing and iOS app processing are described separately below. Information about HealthKit, Apple Health and Apple Watch applies to the iOS app, not to ordinary use of the website.
3. General approach to data processing
ApneaReady is designed so that personal training and health information is processed locally on the user's devices wherever possible.
ApneaReady currently has no user account system and no proprietary backend server used to store personal health, training or profile data. No advertising, tracking or third-party analytics SDKs are currently used.
Certain features use Apple services and the Open-Meteo weather service. These processing activities are described below.
4. Website hosting
The ApneaReady website is hosted by Namecheap on a Stellar Shared Hosting plan. Namecheap indicates an EU datacenter for this hosting.
This does not mean that all processing in connection with the website takes place exclusively in the European Union. In particular, email registration is handled through Brevo, and other services may process data in other countries as described in this policy.
When you visit the website, the hosting environment may process technical server access logs. These logs may include:
- IP address
- date and time of the request
- requested URL
- referrer URL, where provided by the browser
- browser and device information (user-agent)
These data are processed to deliver the website, maintain security and diagnose technical issues. Where this processing involves personal data, it is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in operating a secure, functional website).
No fixed retention period for hosting logs is specified here. Logs are kept only as long as needed for those operational and security purposes and as determined by the hosting environment.
5. Website language preference
The website is available in English, German and Russian. English is the default language.
If you explicitly select EN, DE or RU, the website may store your choice in the browser using localStorage under the key apneaready-language. The purpose is to remember the selected language on later visits.
Nothing is written to localStorage until you select a language. The website works without this storage. You can remove the value by clearing the website data in your browser.
A language code stored in this way is used only for displaying the website. It is not used for advertising or analytics.
6. Early Access, Beta registration and Brevo
The website offers registration for Early Access (launch notification) and for Beta testing. These forms are operated using the email platform Brevo (Sendinblue).
If you submit a form, we process your email address and your consent information (including the required OPT_IN confirmation). A technical honeypot field may be submitted to limit automated abuse; it is not used to collect additional personal information from you.
Purposes: to send the emails you requested — a launch notification and/or information about Beta testing, including TestFlight invitations and related updates — and to run the associated double opt-in confirmation.
Legal basis: Article 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent). Registration is voluntary. You confirm your email address by clicking a link in a confirmation email (double opt-in) before the registration is treated as complete.
Brevo processes the data transmitted through the forms in order to store contacts, send transactional and requested notification emails, and operate technical email delivery. This may include technical delivery events (such as sends, bounces and similar server-side events).
Brevo may also process email interaction data, including recorded clicks on links in emails and loads of images served via proxy. This policy does not claim that such interaction processing is disabled or anonymous.
The Brevo form script is loaded when a registration form is used, not merely because someone is reading other parts of the website.
International data transfers may occur in connection with Brevo. Where personal data are transferred outside the European Economic Area, this takes place under the safeguards provided by the GDPR, such as an adequacy decision or standard contractual clauses, as described by Brevo.
Further information:

You may withdraw your consent at any time, for example by using the unsubscribe link in our emails or by writing to support@apneaready.com. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
7. Website cookies and analytics
The current first-party website code does not set cookies and does not use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel or similar analytics or advertising services.
The only first-party browser storage mechanism used by the website code is the optional language preference in localStorage described above.
Third-party services used when you open a registration form (in particular Brevo) or the hosting environment may set their own cookies or similar technologies. This has not been exhaustively verified in production, so this policy does not state that no third-party cookies are ever present.
8. Apple Health and HealthKit
If the user explicitly grants access to Apple Health, ApneaReady may read:
- sleep data
- heart rate variability (HRV)
- resting heart rate
- sleeping wrist temperature, where available
- workout information from Apple Health
On a connected Apple Watch, current heart rate may also be read and displayed during a training session.
These data are used to estimate recovery, calculate readiness, provide training and recovery recommendations and display relevant activity information.
ApneaReady does not upload these raw HealthKit readings to its own server.
Values derived from health information, particularly readiness, may be stored locally and transferred to the paired Apple Watch as part of personalized training plans.
Access to Apple Health is only provided after user authorization and can be revoked at any time through the relevant iOS Health and privacy settings.
ApneaReady does not sell health information and does not use health information for advertising, marketing or tracking.
9. Morning Check-In and manually entered information
Users may voluntarily provide subjective information about their current condition, such as energy, stress, physical condition or fatigue.
Individual Morning Check-In answers are not currently retained as separate permanent records. The resulting readiness result and its date may be stored locally.
In Manual mode, additional information such as sleep quality, energy, physical fatigue and the previous day's training may be used to calculate readiness.
10. Training, calibration and performance data
Depending on the features used, ApneaReady may locally store information including:
- completed CO₂ and O₂ training
- Personalized CO₂ training data
- Urge-to-Breathe training data
- Walking Apnea training data
- personal bests
- calibration values
- training duration and round results
- voluntary training feedback
- contraction timestamps
- training history and derived statistics
These data are used solely to provide the training features, personal training history and related ApneaReady functionality.
There is currently no ApneaReady cloud account or proprietary ApneaReady server storing these personal training records.
11. Apple Watch and WatchConnectivity
When ApneaReady is used with Apple Watch, information required for training features is transferred between the iPhone and paired Apple Watch.
This may include:
- training configurations and personalized plans
- personal training reference values
- derived readiness values
- training times and round results
- training feedback
- recorded contraction timestamps
- language settings and training summaries
Transfers use Apple's WatchConnectivity technology between paired devices.
ApneaReady does not operate its own transfer server for this purpose.
12. Location and weather
ApneaReady may use device location to display local weather information on the Home screen.
Location access occurs only after user permission and is requested for use while the app is in use.
Geographic coordinates are transmitted to the Open-Meteo weather service to obtain current weather information:
OpenMeteo GmbH
Hintere Schilligmatte 6
6463 Bürglen (UR)
Switzerland
Open-Meteo states that its free API service may process information such as IP addresses for technical purposes. Web server log files used for troubleshooting may also contain geographic coordinates. According to Open-Meteo, these log files are not shared with third parties and are deleted after 90 days.
Further information:
https://open-meteo.com/en/terms
ApneaReady additionally uses Apple's geocoding service to convert geographic coordinates into a human-readable place name. Location information is therefore submitted to Apple's geocoding service for this purpose.
ApneaReady does not maintain its own persistent database of geographic coordinates.
Location access can be disabled at any time in iOS Settings under Privacy & Security → Location Services.
13. Local storage in the iOS app
ApneaReady stores settings and training, calibration, readiness and statistics information primarily in the protected local application area of the device.
The app currently uses local iOS storage mechanisms including UserDefaults and locally encoded records.
ApneaReady currently does not use CloudKit or a proprietary cloud database to store these personal training records.
The handling of local application data by operating-system backups and restores is determined by the applicable Apple system services and user settings.
14. Analytics, advertising and tracking in the iOS app
ApneaReady currently uses:
- no advertising SDKs
- no tracking SDKs
- no external analytics SDKs
- no advertising identifier (IDFA)
- no AppTrackingTransparency-based advertising tracking
- no advertising profiling
Technical debug output may be generated locally during development. ApneaReady does not operate its own service for uploading these logs.
15. Accounts and payments
ApneaReady currently has no user account or login system.
The first name displayed in the app is entered by the user and stored locally on the device.
The current version does not contain an implemented in-app purchase or subscription system.
16. Audio and media
Training cues, meditations and other audio and video content provided by ApneaReady are currently bundled with the application or generated through Apple system functionality.
No personal audio recordings are created.
Current Recovery content is not streamed from external services such as Spotify.
The meditation “Immersion in Goal Achievement” by Kristina Malinovskaya, included in ApneaReady, was provided by the author with her express permission for use within the ApneaReady application.
17. Data deletion
ApneaReady does not operate its own server containing user accounts or personal training profiles.
Personal training, readiness, calibration and settings information is primarily stored locally on the relevant device.
When the app is deleted, local data belonging to the app container is generally removed by the operating system. Data on a separately installed or paired Apple Watch may be managed separately. System backups and later restoration are subject to Apple's services and settings.
Information already contained in Apple Health is not part of ApneaReady's local database and is not deleted when ApneaReady is removed.
Apple Health and location permissions can be revoked at any time through the relevant iOS settings.
18. Retention
Personal data are kept only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, or as required to meet legal obligations. No additional fixed retention periods are stated here where they have not been specifically determined.
Website hosting logs: retained according to operational and security needs of the hosting environment, as described in the hosting section.
Language preference: stored in your browser until you change the language, clear the site data, or the browser removes it.
Early Access and Beta registrations: retained for as long as needed to provide the requested emails and to manage the relevant list, until you withdraw consent, or until they are no longer required for those purposes or for legal record-keeping.
iOS app data: stored locally on the device as described in the app sections, generally until the app is deleted, subject to Apple backups and Health data remaining in Apple Health.
19. Data protection rights
Where personal data is processed in connection with this website or external services, data subjects have the rights provided by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including, where the legal requirements are met, rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection.
Data subjects also have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority.
Where processing is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. For website email registration, you may use the unsubscribe link in the emails or contact support@apneaready.com. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal. Apple Health and location permissions for the iOS app can be revoked in the iOS settings as described above.
