The short answer: Every app on the App Store carries a privacy label, the "nutrition label" Apple introduced so you can see what an app collects before you download it. Most running apps list several categories: location, identifiers, usage data, health and fitness, often linked to your identity. Steady Pace's label reads Data Not Collected, which is Apple's strongest designation and means exactly what it says. The label is public, on the listing, and you can check it right now.
What the label means
Apple makes developers declare what data their app collects, whether it is linked to your identity, and whether it is used to track you across other apps and sites. The declaration is structured. When an app collects nothing, the label reads Data Not Collected. There is no location entry, no identifier entry, no usage-data entry.
Steady Pace collects nothing. It has no account, sends no analytics, serves no ads, and makes no network connections. There is no data category to declare. The label reflects the architecture.
How the labels compare
| App Store privacy label | Steady Pace | A typical running app |
|---|---|---|
| Location | Not collected | Collected, often linked to you |
| Identifiers | Not collected | Commonly collected |
| Usage and diagnostics | Not collected | Commonly collected |
| Used to track you | No | Sometimes |
| Overall label | Data Not Collected | Several categories listed |
Why a public label matters
A privacy label on the App Store is a declaration made to Apple, shown to every prospective buyer, and enforceable by the platform. It is the same standard applied to every app. Open two running app listings, scroll to App Privacy, and read them side by side. The difference is which categories are filled in.
Steady Pace's App Store privacy label reads Data Not Collected. Anyone can verify it on the store.

How the app collects nothing in the first place.
What is Steady Pace's App Store privacy label?
Data Not Collected, which is Apple's strongest privacy designation. There are no location, identifier, or usage-data categories listed, because the app collects none of them. You can read the label on the App Store listing.
What does "Data Not Collected" mean?
It means the developer has declared to Apple that the app gathers no data of any kind. For Steady Pace that is literal: no account, no analytics, no network connections, so there is nothing to collect and nothing to declare.
Can I verify this myself?
Yes. Open the Steady Pace listing on the App Store and scroll to the App Privacy section. Compare it to any other running app's label on the same screen. The categories the others fill in are the ones Steady Pace leaves empty.
Do most running apps collect location?
Most declare that they collect location, and many link it to your identity or use it to track you across other apps. Steady Pace declares none of that, which is why its label is the short one.
