Heater Privacy Policy

Last updated 30 September 2026

What Heater does with your data

Everything Heater records or measures stays on your iPhone. Clips, pitchers, sessions and speeds are kept in the app's own storage on the device. Heater has no account, no sign-in, no analytics and no advertising, and it does not track you across apps or websites.

iCloud backup

Backup is off until you switch it on in Settings. With it on, your clips, pitchers, sessions and speeds are copied to the private part of your own iCloud account, run by Apple, so they sync to your other devices and come back on a new phone. They count against your iCloud storage. Only you can read them; the developer cannot see them. Switch backup off and Heater stops copying; "Delete iCloud copy" in Settings removes what is there.

Camera, microphone and photos

Heater uses the camera to film pitches, the microphone to hear the catch, and the photo library only to import clips you choose. Nothing is sent anywhere as part of measuring a pitch.

Feedback you choose to send

If you contact us, suggest a feature or report a problem from inside the app, Heater sends what you typed, the email address if you give one, the pitch's numbers when the report is about a pitch, the app version and your iPhone model. It includes the clip only when you leave "Include the clip" switched on. These go to the app's iCloud database, run by Apple, where only the developer can read them. They are used to answer you and improve Heater, and for nothing else.

Voting on features

A +1 on a feature is stored in the app's iCloud database with an identifier Apple makes for Heater, which is not your name or Apple ID. It is counted toward that feature and is never shown with anything that identifies you. Tap it again to take it back.

Sharing a video

The Share button makes a video of a pitch and hands it to the iOS share sheet. Where it goes from there is your choice, and Heater keeps no copy beyond the clip already on your phone.

Deleting your data

Delete a pitch, a session or a pitcher inside the app and it is gone, from iCloud too when backup is on. Delete the app and everything it stored on the phone goes with it; a backup in iCloud stays until you delete it from Heater's Settings or from your iCloud storage settings.
