Gegating is a dragon boat training journal for timing sessions, recording sets and technique, planning a next focus, and reviewing progress. This policy describes information handled when you use the Gegating iOS app, its optional features, or this information page.
01 / Scope and principles
You decide what to put into your training journal. The timer, review, and weekly summaries use the details you record; optional account, media, and purchase features involve additional information when you choose them. You can explore the training experience without choosing Sign in with Apple.
This policy does not replace the separate notices that Apple or a destination you select may provide for its own services. When a feature opens an Apple sign-in, purchase, permission, or sharing interface, the choices shown there also matter.
02 / Information involved
Training entries and plans
Depending on what you enter, a session can contain its date, activity type, duration, elapsed time for individual sets, paddling role or position, target and actual stroke rate, effort or feeling, feedback tags, written reflections, and next-session priorities. Plans, race goals, completion markers, weekly summaries, and improvement-focus status can also be part of your journal.
Profile details and media
Your profile may include a display name, team name, role description, and chosen image. If you use media features, your selections may include photos and a recorded voice note. A photo or recording can reveal more than you intend, so review it before adding it to a profile or sharing an export.
Account and purchase details
Sign in with Apple may provide a stable account identifier and, if you authorize it, a name or email address. Apple may let you use a private relay email address. Purchase-related information includes the Shell pack selected, confirmation of a completed Apple transaction, Shell balance, and a record of Shells used for eligible layouts.
Messages to support
If you email us, the message, your reply address, and any details you choose to include are used to understand and answer your request. Please avoid including passwords, payment-card numbers, identification documents, or information about another person unless it is necessary to explain your question.
03 / Where information comes from
Most journal and profile information comes from actions you take in the app: starting or ending a timer, logging a set, entering a note, selecting a photo, recording audio, editing a plan, or choosing an export. A session also receives a date and elapsed duration so the app can place it in your history and weekly view.
If you choose Apple sign-in or an in-app purchase, Apple supplies the result needed for the app to recognize the account choice or credit the purchase. If you contact support, we receive the information you put in the email.
04 / Why it is used
- Run a training session: show the timer, save set intervals, and attach the values and notes you enter to the correct session.
- Make reviews useful: compare target and actual stroke rate, revisit technique feedback, and connect an observation to a next focus.
- Show a wider pattern: calculate weekly session counts, duration, completion, and issue summaries from your entries.
- Prepare selected outputs: display plan cards, review cards, review books, or archive exports based on the content you choose.
- Honor purchases: update the Shell balance when Apple confirms an eligible purchase and account for Shells spent on premium outputs.
- Respond to requests: use a support message to answer a question, troubleshoot an issue, or address a privacy request.
Gegating does not present your journal entries as a public social feed. The athlete reference profiles visible in the app are sample material; your own training history is not added to those profiles.
05 / Device permissions and media
Camera and photo-library access support actions such as selecting or taking a profile image. Microphone access supports recording a voice note. The related permission is requested when you use that feature; declining it does not prevent you from using the training timer or written reviews. You can later review or change permission decisions in iOS Settings.
When you select an image or record audio, consider whether it contains faces, voices, location clues, or other details that you would not want to include in an export. Avoid adding information about teammates without their permission.
06 / Apple services and purchases
Sign in with Apple and in-app purchases are provided through Apple. If you sign in, Gegating uses the Apple account result to recognize that choice. If you buy Shells, Apple handles the payment process and returns transaction information used to credit the selected pack. Gegating does not ask you to type a payment-card number into the app.
Shells can be spent on selected premium card and review-book layouts. The app displays the applicable Shell cost before the action is confirmed. Apple's purchase history, billing, refund, and account processes are separate from controls in Gegating; requests concerning those Apple records may need to be made through Apple.
Apple's use of information through its sign-in, App Store, and payment services follows Apple's own privacy information and terms.
08 / Retention and deletion
Entries remain available in your app experience until you edit or delete them, clear the relevant content, or complete the account-deletion flow. Sign Out ends the selected sign-in state but does not itself erase training history. The Delete Account screen identifies the categories affected and requires a final confirmation before removing the app's account information, training and reviews, plans and focuses, profile details, and voice note.
A copy that you previously exported or sent through the iOS share sheet is controlled by the place where you saved or sent it; deleting the app account does not retrieve that copy. Apple may retain its own transaction records under its policies and legal obligations. Support correspondence is kept for the period reasonably needed to answer the request, handle follow-up, or meet an applicable obligation, and is then deleted when no longer needed.
09 / Your choices and rights
- Review and correct: open your profile, training details, plans, and focuses to see and update the information shown there.
- Remove individual content: use the available delete controls for sessions or generated items you no longer want in the app.
- Manage permissions: choose whether to add photos or voice notes and change camera, photo-library, or microphone access in iOS Settings.
- Sign out: use Profile → Settings → Sign Out when you want to end the current sign-in state.
- Delete the account: use Profile → Settings → Delete Account and complete the confirmation steps.
- Ask a question: email us about access, correction, deletion, or another privacy concern relating to information you provided to us.
Additional rights may apply depending on where you live. We will consider a request under the law that applies to it and may ask for enough information to verify the request before responding. You may also contact your relevant privacy regulator where applicable.
10 / This page and tracking choice
This HTML page contains no advertising script or analytics code. If it is served through a website provider, that provider may process ordinary connection information needed to deliver the page under its own terms.
The app's permissions area displays an iOS Tracking Choice control. iOS manages that authorization choice; you can review its status in device settings. Your choice there does not prevent the training timer, written journal, or weekly reviews from working.
11 / Protection and age
Access to camera, photos, and microphone is tied to the features that use them, and account deletion has a confirmation step. You can reduce exposure by securing your device, protecting your Apple Account, and reviewing an item before you share it. No digital product or email exchange can guarantee absolute security.
Gegating is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child has supplied personal information to us through a support message, contact us so we can review the request and take appropriate action.
12 / Changes to this policy
We may revise this policy when Gegating's features, service providers, or legal requirements change. The effective date at the top indicates the version currently presented here. If a change materially affects how information is handled, we will provide an appropriate notice through the app or another suitable channel before or when the change takes effect.
13 / Questions or requests
For privacy questions, access or deletion requests, or concerns about this policy, email us. Tell us which part of Gegating your question concerns and how we can reply. Please do not send passwords or payment-card details.
