Workout App

Privacy Policy

Effective 29 August 2026

This policy explains how Workout, operated by James Blankley, handles information when you use the app or its Android wrapper.

Information we handle

How we use it

We use this information to provide the workout, body, history, nutrition, coaching, progress, and equipment features; calculate training metrics; generate or adapt programs; analyse food and form uploads; remember relevant coaching feedback; and keep the service secure.

If you enable Health Connect, the Android wrapper can read the health data you authorise, such as activity, calories, distance, floors, sleep stages, heart rate, HRV, exercise sessions, weight, body composition, hydration, VO2 max, and nutrition summaries. The app uses daily summaries for charts and coaching, plus timestamped derived HRV readings for the optional 24-hour HRV chart; raw Health Connect records remain on your device. Android may offer a separate permission for older history. It can also write completed workouts and confirmed nutrition records when you grant write permission. You can change these permissions in Android Health Connect at any time.

AI processing

When you request coaching, program generation, form review, food analysis, or similar features, relevant profile, training, body, nutrition, Health Connect summary, and upload data may be sent to the configured AI provider used for that task. The app may use Codex or OpenAI and configured fallback providers. AI results are returned to the app to provide the requested feature and may be saved in your history or coaching memory.

Do not upload information you do not want processed. AI nutrition and training outputs are estimates and are not medical advice.

Sharing and external services

We do not sell your personal information. Information is shared only as needed to host and operate the app, provide an AI request you start, process an optional Health Connect sync, or comply with law. You may see links to services such as YouTube and Instagram; those services have their own privacy policies when you open them.

Storage and retention

Your account, training, body, nutrition, and confirmed coaching history is kept while it is needed to operate your account, unless it is deleted sooner. Health Connect daily summaries are retained for the available history that the user syncs, within a practical lifetime window. Uploaded food images are stored temporarily for processing and are normally removed after confirmation or automatic cleanup. Exercise videos and other uploads may be retained while processing and while their associated review is needed; resulting notes can remain in your history.

Your choices

Security and changes

We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards, including authenticated access and access controls, but no internet service can guarantee absolute security. We may update this policy when the app or its data practices change. The effective date above identifies the current version.
