Backhaul for Garmin Connect IQ, published by Tallekene OÜ (Estonia). Last updated 24 September 2026.

Backhaul sends data from your Garmin device to a web address that you configure. It has no server of its own, no account, and no analytics.

What is sent

Only to the URL you enter in the app settings:

• The event that occurred (activity finished, goal reached, and so on) and when.
• Your device's model part number, Connect IQ version, battery level, charging state and phone connection state.
• The label you optionally give the device.
• If you switch on Include steps and heart rate: steps, step goal, calories, distance, floors, active minutes and the most recent heart rate reading.
• If you switch on Include location: latitude, longitude, altitude, speed, heading and the fix quality.

Both enrichment options are settings you control. Location is off by default.

Where it goes

To your URL and nowhere else. The developer of this app operates no servers and receives no copy of your data. What happens to it after it reaches your endpoint is governed by whatever you are running there.

What is stored on the device

Undelivered events are held in the app's private Connect IQ storage until they are delivered, for at most 48 hours or 10 delivery attempts. The most recent delivery outcome (event type, HTTP status, timestamp) is kept so the app can show it on screen. Uninstalling the app deletes all of it.

Third parties

None. The app makes no request to any address other than the one you configure.

Data controller

Tallekene OÜ does not receive, store or process any of the data this app sends: it travels from your device to your endpoint and nowhere else. For the data held at that endpoint, you are the controller.
