In addition, Control may also write data to the Apple HealthKit database for workouts completed with the Control app.
Control cannot read or write data from nor to the Apple HealthKit database unless you specifically grant access.

If you give Garmin Connect permission to sync activities with Control, Control will be able to import all activities which you save into Garmin Connect. Activities are stored in Control’s backend storage. After you have given the syncing permission, all your activities are stored in Control’s database once they are saved into Garmin Connect. Your stored activities are only viewable by you and only you can import them to Control app.
You have the possibility to disconnect Garmin from Control anytime, in which case the saved data will be removed and future activities will not be stored. Imported data will stay in Control until you want to delete it.

Client stores only a temporary access token securely. Your stored workouts are only viewable by you and only you can import them to Control app.
You have also the possibility to disconnect Suunto connection anytime. Imported data will stay in Control app until you want to delete it.

Workouts are stored locally on your iPhone in order to more easily & quickly present this information to you. If you choose to do so, data is also uploaded to your personal iCloud storage. Even when the iCloud syncing is on, no one, either developer or Apple can access your uploaded data in the iCloud.
