What Trainer does
Trainer helps people follow a personalized training plan, log workouts and food, understand progress, and make small plan adjustments from the information they choose to provide. Trainer is not a medical device, medical service, diagnosis tool, or substitute for a qualified professional.
Information we collect
Depending on the features a person uses, Trainer may collect:
- Account information such as email address or a sign-in provider identifier.
- Profile information such as goal, starting point, schedule, training location, equipment, time available, height, weight, preferences, and selected progress signals.
- Workout information such as exercises, sets, reps, weight, duration, effort, notes, swaps, completion, and plan history.
- Food and nutrition information such as food items, portions, calories, protein, carbohydrates, fat, and macro targets.
- Photos a person chooses to submit for a meal estimate or optional progress history.
- Safety-context answers such as pain, movement limitations, pregnancy/postpartum status, or clinician restrictions. These answers help route safer behavior; they do not create a diagnosis.
- Optional Apple Health information, only if the person grants access to the specific data types requested by the app.
- Purchase and entitlement information needed to provide subscriptions, restore access, and prevent duplicate access.
- Device, app, crash, and product-interaction information needed for security, reliability, support, and product improvement.
The exact categories and optionality are shown in the app and App Store product privacy details. We update those disclosures when our practices change.
How we use information
We use information to:
- Create and display a personalized training plan.
- Show workouts, alternatives, progress, macro targets, and weekly reviews.
- Save and sync a person's records, including offline work where supported.
- Produce an editable food-photo estimate. An estimate is not logged as a meal until the person reviews it and explicitly confirms it.
- Process purchases, trial status, restores, and access controls.
- Send optional reminders when permission is granted.
- Secure, debug, maintain, and improve the service.
- Respond to support, privacy, deletion, and legal requests.
We do not use health, fitness, nutrition, meal-photo, or Apple Health information for advertising, sell it to data brokers, or use it to build unrelated advertising profiles.
Apple Health
Apple Health access is optional. The app requests only the data types needed for a stated health or fitness feature and explains the benefit before the system permission request. People can change access in Apple Health or device settings. We do not use Apple Health data for advertising or sell it. We do not write inaccurate data to Apple Health. [Confirm whether Trainer writes any data.]
Sharing
We may use service providers for hosting, authentication, payments, food data, photo estimation, analytics, crash reporting, notifications, and support. Providers may process only the information needed for their service and are listed or described at [VENDOR DISCLOSURE URL]. We do not sell personal information. We may disclose information when required by law, to protect safety or rights, or as part of a business transfer with appropriate protections.
Photos and AI estimates
Meal photos are sent to [PHOTO PROVIDER OR ON-DEVICE PROCESSING] only to produce the requested estimate. The result can be wrong. A person can edit, discard, or confirm the result. [STATE RAW PHOTO RETENTION PERIOD]. Optional progress photos remain under the person's control and are deleted with the account unless a different retention requirement is disclosed.
Retention and deletion
We retain information only as long as needed for the purposes described here, legitimate operational needs, security, dispute resolution, and legal requirements. A person can delete their account in Profile → Privacy & Data → Delete account, or from the web at /delete-account. Deletion removes or anonymizes account data and local cached data according to our Deletion Policy. Some transaction, fraud-prevention, security, or legally required records may be retained for a limited period.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, including access controls, encryption where appropriate, secure credential handling, and least-privilege vendor access. No service can guarantee absolute security.
Children
Trainer is not directed to children under [MINIMUM AGE / REGION RULE]. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a child in violation of applicable law. Contact [SUPPORT EMAIL] if you believe a child provided information.
Choices and rights
Depending on location, a person may have rights to access, correct, export, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing. Contact [PRIVACY EMAIL] or use the in-app controls. We respond as required by applicable law.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy as Trainer changes. We will post the new effective date and provide any notice required by law. Questions go to [PRIVACY EMAIL].
