Since I know this has been a frustrating place with the lack of timelines, I wanted to share that after about 6 weeks my application did get approval!

No back and forth happened in my case. Got approved from 10 to 999 users. 

It seems that the forums will not allow me to post a link to my Privacy Policy and ToS without mod approval, but if you want to look for them as an example you can search up SkiCap App on Google and they are at the bottom of the home page. 
 

One interesting note is that I explicitly state that I hold on to users GPS streams indefinitely until a user deletes it themselves, with the justification that I regularly analyze them as part of the key functionality of my app. 
 

I honestly did think this would get me a rejection, but I also noticed that getting a users activity via the stream does not count against my rate limit, so maybe that plays a part in it? 

Happy to answer questions, but honestly not sure how much more I can say then this lol.

I was also surprised to be approved today, after waiting just over a week from submitting my application. I have read some real horror stories here about waiting 6 months and no reply.

My application is incredibly simple in its use of Strava however, the Strava integration is just uploading rides to Strava and the application does not intentionally store any user data.

 

I did read through and comply with brand guidelines, terms, etc, but I would think every one on here does that before they submit their request

That’s very good news ​@Skyryk , congratulations! Maybe there is hope for the many others who ask about this annoying 7 day retention rule as long as they are using the stored data in a way that doesn’t look like replicating a Strava feature.
