Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 8, 2026

1. Introduction

GymPsycho ("we", "our", or "the app") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data when you use GymPsycho on iOS and Android.

2. Data We Collect

We do not collect any personal data.

GymPsycho operates entirely on your device. All your workout data, including:

• Training sessions and exercises
• Personal records (PRs)
• Gym configurations
• Training plans
• Your athlete name (optional)

...is stored locally on your device. On iOS, data can optionally be synced to your personal iCloud account. On Android, data is backed up automatically via Android Auto Backup to your Google account.

3. Data Sync & Backup

iOS: iCloud Sync

If you enable iCloud sync, your data is stored in your private iCloud container. This means:

• Only you have access to your data
• Data is encrypted by Apple
• We cannot access your iCloud data
• Sync happens automatically between your devices

Android: Auto Backup

On Android, your app data is automatically backed up to your Google account via Android Auto Backup. This means:

• Backups are encrypted and stored in your personal Google account
• Only you have access to your backup data
• We cannot access your backup data
• Data is restored automatically when you reinstall the app

4. Health Data Integration

GymPsycho can optionally integrate with Apple HealthKit (iOS) and Health Connect (Android) to enhance your workout tracking experience. All health data integrations are optional and require your explicit permission before any data is accessed. Health data is processed entirely on your device and is never transmitted to external servers, collected by us, or shared with third parties.

iOS: Apple HealthKit

GymPsycho can optionally integrate with Apple HealthKit to:

• Read sleep data to calculate a recovery score
• Read body weight for calorie estimation and trend analysis
• Read step count to display daily activity
• Read heart rate during workout time windows
• Write workout data (calories, distance) to Activity Rings

Android: Health Connect

GymPsycho integrates with Health Connect using the minimum permissions required for its fitness tracking features. The app requests access to exactly six Health Connect permissions:

Read Permissions (4):

• Steps (READ_STEPS): Reads your daily step count to display on the training screen, helping you track overall physical activity alongside your gym workouts. Step history is also used in PDF workout reports to show activity trends over time.
• Sleep (READ_SLEEP): Reads sleep session data, including sleep stages (light, deep, REM, awake), to calculate a sleep quality score (0–100). This score is displayed before your workout to help you understand recovery status and adjust training intensity accordingly.
• Weight (READ_WEIGHT): Reads your current body weight and weight history. Current weight is used to estimate calories burned during workouts (based on MET calculations). Weight history powers the Body Weight Intelligence feature, which detects phases (gaining, losing, maintaining) and analyzes trends over time. Weight data also appears in PDF workout reports.
• Heart Rate (READ_HEART_RATE): Reads heart rate samples recorded during your workout time window (from workout start to workout end) by connected devices such as fitness trackers or smartwatches. Average and peak heart rate are displayed in your workout summary after finishing a session.

Write Permissions (2):

• Active Calories Burned (WRITE_ACTIVE_CALORIES_BURNED): After completing a strength or cardio workout, GymPsycho exports the estimated calories burned to Health Connect. This allows your workout energy expenditure to appear alongside data from other fitness apps in a unified view.
• Distance (WRITE_DISTANCE): After completing a cardio exercise (treadmill, stationary bike, rowing machine, elliptical, stair machine), GymPsycho exports the distance covered to Health Connect. This is only written when you log a cardio exercise with a distance value.

How Health Data Is Handled

• Local processing only: All health data is read from HealthKit or Health Connect, processed on your device, and displayed in the app. It is never sent to any server.
• No collection: We do not collect, store, or retain copies of your health data. Data is read on demand and displayed in the current session only.
• No sharing: Health data from HealthKit or Health Connect is never shared with third parties, advertisers, or any external services. This includes RevenueCat (our subscription service), which has no access to health data.
• No selling: We do not sell health data. We will never sell health data.
• User control: You can revoke health data permissions at any time through your device settings (iOS: Settings > Health > GymPsycho, Android: Settings > Health Connect > App permissions). The app continues to function fully without health data access — all core features (workout logging, PR detection, training plans) work independently.
• Data deletion: Since we do not store copies of health data, there is nothing to delete on our side. To remove data written by GymPsycho to Health Connect (calories, distance), you can delete it directly in the Health Connect app.

5. Analytics & Tracking

We do not use any analytics or tracking tools.

GymPsycho does not include:

• Google Analytics
• Facebook Pixel
• Behavioral analytics SDKs (Mixpanel, Amplitude, Segment, etc.)
• Advertising or attribution SDKs

Crash Reporting (Sentry)

To keep the app stable, GymPsycho uses Sentry for privacy-respecting crash reporting. We deliberately keep this minimal:

• What is sent: only anonymous crash diagnostics — error type, stack trace, app version, OS version, device model. A small sample (~5%) of performance traces (screen-load timings) is included to detect freezes.
• What is NOT sent: no workout data, no PRs, no plans, no gym names, no athlete name, no health data, no email address, no IP-based personal identifiers, no advertising IDs.
• Anonymous user IDs: Sentry generates a random per-install identifier (no email, no account) only to group repeated crashes from the same device. This identifier cannot be traced back to a person.
• Retention: 90 days, then automatically purged.
• Why we keep it: without crash data, we'd be unable to detect or fix crashes you experience. This is the minimum needed for a reliable app.
• Provider: see Sentry's Privacy Policy. Sentry is GDPR + CCPA compliant.

6. Advertisements

GymPsycho contains no advertisements.

We don't show ads, and we never will. Your training experience stays clean and distraction-free.

7. Third-Party Services

GymPsycho uses the following external services:

Apple iCloud (iOS, optional)

For data sync between your devices. Your data is stored in your private iCloud container and protected by Apple's privacy policies. We cannot access your iCloud data.

Google Auto Backup (Android)

For automatic data backup to your Google account. Backups are encrypted and managed by Google. We cannot access your backup data.

RevenueCat (for subscriptions)

We use RevenueCat to manage in-app subscriptions and purchases. RevenueCat:

• Uses anonymous user identifiers only
• Does not receive personal workout data
• Processes purchase transactions securely
• Is compliant with GDPR and CCPA

For more information, see RevenueCat's Privacy Policy.

Sentry (for crash reporting)

We use Sentry to detect and fix app crashes. As described in Section 5, only anonymous crash diagnostics are transmitted — never workout, health or personal data. Sentry retains this data for 90 days and is GDPR + CCPA compliant. See Sentry's Privacy Policy.

8. Data Deletion

GymPsycho does not store any of your workout data on our servers — there are no user accounts and no central database. Your data lives entirely on your device (and optionally in your private iCloud or Google Auto Backup, if you've enabled those). You have full control to delete it at any time.

How to delete your data

Option 1 — In-app reset (recommended, fastest):

1. Open GymPsycho on your device.
2. Tap Settings (bottom navigation).
3. Scroll to Reset App → "Delete all data and start fresh".
4. Confirm twice. All gyms, training plans, sessions, PRs and personal info are permanently deleted from the device.

Option 2 — Uninstall the app:

Uninstalling GymPsycho removes all locally stored data immediately. iCloud sync data (iOS) can additionally be removed via iOS Settings → [your name] → iCloud → Manage Account Storage → GymPsycho → Delete Data. Android Auto Backup data is removed via your Google account → Backup → Apps data.

Option 3 — Web request (if you've already uninstalled the app):

Email support@gympsycho.com with subject line "Data Deletion Request". Since GymPsycho does not store data on our servers, there is no server-side wipe to perform — but we will confirm receipt within 7 days and walk you through any remaining cleanup (iCloud, Google Backup, RevenueCat subscription cancellation if applicable).

What is deleted

• All workout sessions, PRs, training plans, gyms, exercise history
• Athlete name, app preferences, onboarding state
• Health Connect / HealthKit data written by GymPsycho (calories, distance) — must be removed via the Health Connect or Apple Health app since the data lives there, not in GymPsycho
• Subscription data on RevenueCat — cancelled and anonymized at subscription end

What is NOT deleted (and why)

• Apple HealthKit / Health Connect data not written by GymPsycho: lives in your platform's health database, governed by Apple/Google, not by GymPsycho.
• Aggregated, anonymized crash diagnostics: retained for 90 days as required for app stability monitoring; not linked to any personally identifiable information.

How long it takes

• Options 1 & 2: Immediate. Local data is wiped synchronously.
• Option 3: Confirmation within 7 days, full cleanup walkthrough within 14 days.

Soft delete (in-app trash)

Within the app, deleted gyms, plans and workouts go to a 30-day trash bin first, so you can recover them if needed. After 30 days they are permanently deleted from the device. You can also delete them permanently right away from the trash view.

9. Children's Privacy

GymPsycho is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
