UpLift Privacy Policy

We collect only what we need to run the app:

• Account information — your email and display name. If you sign in with Apple or Google, we receive a unique identifier and (if you allow it) your email and name. Passwords, when used, are stored only as a secure hash.
• Profile — optional details you add, such as a photo, bio, home gym, and gender (used only to power women-only spotter matching, if you opt in).
• Workout & fitness data — the workouts, exercises, sets, reps, weights, templates, goals, and personal records you log.
• Apple Health data — if you grant permission, UpLift reads Health metrics (heart rate and heart-rate variability, active energy, workouts, body weight and body fat, steps, distance, sleep, time in daylight, and nutrition logged by other apps) to power your stats, recovery, and analytics, and can write workouts and nutrition that you choose to save. See the Apple Health section below.
• Location — when you check in at a gym, we use your approximate location to suggest nearby gyms. We don't track your location in the background beyond what you enable for check-out reminders.
• Social content — check-ins, feed posts (auto-generated from your workouts), reactions, comments, and friend connections.
• Technical & usage data — basic logs, device information, in-app activity (such as which features you use), and crash/diagnostic reports needed to operate, secure, debug, and improve the service. See the Analytics & crash reporting section below.

• Provide core features: logging workouts, tracking progress, and analytics.
• Power social features — showing your activity to people you've connected with or who share your gym, according to your visibility settings.
• Display your Apple Health metrics on your own recap and workout cards.
• Maintain security, prevent abuse, and fix problems.

We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use it for advertising or marketing profiling.

To understand how UpLift is used and to fix problems quickly, we use two trusted third-party services that process data on our behalf:

• PostHog (product analytics) — records in-app events such as signing up, finishing a workout, or sharing a card, so we can see which features help and improve the app. These events are associated with your account identifier and whether you have a Pro subscription. We do not send PostHog the contents of your workouts, messages, or Apple Health data.
• Sentry (crash & error reporting) — collects diagnostic reports when the app crashes or hits an error, including device model, operating-system version, and your account identifier, so we can reproduce and fix the issue.

Both act only on our instructions, do not sell this data, and do not use it for advertising or cross-app tracking. We use this information solely to operate, analyze, and improve UpLift.

UpLift works with Apple Health only after you grant access, and you can revoke it anytime in iOS Settings → Health → Data Access & Devices.

What we read — to show your workout stats, recovery, and progress:

• Heart rate — including resting heart rate, heart-rate variability, and your heart rate over a workout (for the time-in-zones breakdown).
• Active energy (calories) and workouts.
• Body weight and body-fat percentage, steps, walking/running and cycling distance, sleep, and time in daylight.
• Nutrition (calories, protein, carbs, fat) when another app writes it to Apple Health, so your Health Journal can show it.

What we write — only when you choose to:

• Your Apple Watch records a UpLift workout to Apple Health so it earns Activity-ring credit.
• The optional “Add to Apple Fitness” button saves a finished workout as a strength workout; when no Watch recorded it, the calories are an on-device estimate.
• Nutrition you log manually in UpLift is saved to Apple Health.

Your Apple Health data is shown only to you — and, only if you choose to share a specific workout, the stats on that workout's card. We will never use Health data for advertising or marketing, never sell it, never share it with third parties for their own purposes, and never use it for data mining. It is never sent to our analytics or crash-reporting providers.

• With other users — your posts, check-ins, and profile are visible to others based on your visibility setting (open, friends-only, or private). A private account's activity is not shared to the feed.
• With service providers — we use trusted infrastructure and tooling vendors (e.g. cloud hosting and database providers, plus PostHog for analytics and Sentry for crash reporting) to run and improve the app. They process data only on our behalf.
• For legal reasons — if required by law or to protect the safety and rights of our users.

• Visibility — control who sees your activity in Settings.
• Apple Health — grant or revoke access anytime in iOS Settings.
• Location — manage permissions in iOS Settings.
• Delete your account — you can permanently delete your account and all associated data from within the app (Settings → Delete Account). This removes your workouts, posts, and profile from our systems.

We keep your data for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account, we delete your personal data from our active systems. Backups are purged on a rolling basis.

We protect your data with industry-standard measures, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) and hashed passwords. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to keep your information safe.

UpLift is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we'll remove it.

We may update this policy as the app evolves. We'll revise the effective date above and, for material changes, provide notice in the app.
