Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

At Styrki ("we," "our," or "us"), we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you use the Styrki mobile app, website, AI coaching, fitness tracking, community, integrations, and related services (collectively, the "Service").

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

We collect information that you provide directly to us, including:

Account information, such as name, email address, password credentials, sign-in provider identifiers, username, display name, avatar, and profile settings.
Training profile information, such as gender, birthdate, body weight, height, fitness goals, training level, equipment, home gym preferences, recovery settings, and notification preferences.
Strength training data, such as workouts, exercises, sets, reps, weights, RPE, rest times, programs, personal bests, achievements, and workout notes.
Running and cardio data that you enter or record, such as run type, distance, duration, pace, elevation, heart rate, splits, route summaries, and notes.
Community content you choose to post or share, such as public workouts, runs, reactions, comments, profile content, reports, and blocked-user choices.
Support and communications data, such as messages, feedback, bug reports, data export requests, and account deletion requests.
Subscription and entitlement status, such as the Styrki plan, purchase state, renewal state, product identifier, and trial eligibility. Apple processes App Store payment details; Styrki does not receive your full payment card number.

2.2 Device, Usage, and Diagnostics

When you use the Service, we may automatically collect technical information needed to run, secure, debug, and improve Styrki, including:

Device information (device type, operating system, browser type)
Usage data (features used, time spent, interactions)
Log data (IP address, access times, pages viewed)
Diagnostics such as errors, performance events, request metadata, and app version/build information
Cookies and similar technologies on the website

2.3 Location and Run Route Data

If you give permission and start a run, Styrki collects location data to track route, distance, pace, elevation, and related run stats. Background location is used only while an active run is recording or paused so the run can continue when the screen locks or the app is backgrounded. If you share a run publicly, Styrki may show a privacy-trimmed map or an anonymized route shape instead of raw start/end locations.

2.4 Health, Fitness, Motion, and Bluetooth Data

If you connect Apple Health, Motion/Fitness, Apple Watch, Bluetooth heart-rate devices, or third-party fitness integrations, Styrki may collect the specific data needed to power training insights and sync workouts. This may include:

Apple Health read data: heart rate, resting heart rate, heart rate variability, sleep analysis, workouts, workout routes, active energy, walking/running distance, VO2 max, body mass, and workout effort.
Apple Health write data: workouts, active energy, walking/running distance, and workout effort for sessions you record in Styrki.
Motion/Fitness and run sensor data used to estimate effort, distance, pace, and workout load.
Bluetooth heart-rate data from devices you choose to connect, such as Polar, Garmin, Wahoo, or similar heart-rate straps.
Optional integration data from services you connect, such as Strava, Polar, or Oura, including activity, workout, heart-rate, recovery, or token data required to sync those services.

2.5 Microphone, Voice, and Photos

Microphone audio is captured only when you enable the live voice coach or a voice feature that clearly shows the microphone is active. Audio and related transcript/context may be streamed to our AI voice provider so the coach can respond during your workout.
Photo library access is used only when you choose to save or share workout summaries, personal-best cards, or similar Styrki images.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information in the following circumstances:

Service Providers: We may share information with providers that host, store, authenticate, process payments and entitlements, deliver email, provide analytics/diagnostics, or otherwise operate Styrki on our behalf. These providers must protect user data consistently with this policy.
Third-Party AI: When you use AI workout generation, coach chat, or live voice coach, relevant training context, prompts, microphone audio, transcript text, and session state may be sent to third-party AI providers so they can generate responses for you. We do not use Apple Health, Motion/Fitness, location, microphone, or Photos data for advertising or marketing.
Apple and Subscription Providers: Apple and subscription infrastructure providers process App Store purchases, receipts, renewal status, refunds, trial eligibility, and entitlement state.
Connected Fitness Services: If you connect Apple Health, Strava, Polar, Oura, or similar services, we exchange only the data needed to provide the sync or feature you requested. You can disconnect integrations in the app or through the provider.
Public Content: If you choose to share workouts, runs, comments, profile content, or reactions publicly or with friends, that information will be visible according to the audience you selected. Public run routes may be privacy-trimmed or represented as anonymized route shapes.
Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights and safety.
Business Transfers: Information may be transferred in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

5. Health, Fitness, and Sensitive Data Commitments

Health, fitness, location, microphone, Bluetooth, and photo-library data are used only to provide features you request, such as run tracking, Apple Health sync, connected-device heart rate, workout insights, sharing, and voice coaching.

We do not sell this data. We do not use data gathered from HealthKit, Motion/Fitness, location, microphone, Bluetooth, or Photos for advertising, marketing, or use-based data mining. We do not write false or inaccurate data to Apple Health.

Permission-based features are optional. Paid functionality does not require you to grant Apple Health, Motion/Fitness, location, microphone, Bluetooth, or photo-library access unless that permission is directly needed for the specific feature you are trying to use.

6. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including:

Access: Request access to your personal information.
Correction: Request correction of inaccurate information.
Deletion: Request deletion of your personal information.
Portability: Request a copy of your data in a portable format.
Opt-out: Unsubscribe from marketing communications.
Account Deletion: Delete your account and associated data through account settings.
Permission Withdrawal: Revoke device permissions such as location, microphone, Bluetooth, Motion/Fitness, Photos, and Apple Health through iOS Settings, Apple Health permissions, or the relevant in-app integration screen.
Integration Disconnect: Disconnect optional services such as Strava, Polar, Oura, or similar integrations from the app or the provider account.

8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect and use information about you. Cookies are small data files stored on your device. You can control cookies through your browser settings, but disabling cookies may limit your ability to use certain features of the Service.

9. Children's Privacy

The Service is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us immediately.

10. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence. These countries may have data protection laws that differ from those in your country. By using the Service, you consent to the transfer of your information to these countries.

11. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide the Service, maintain your account, operate subscriptions, preserve workout history you choose to keep, satisfy legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and protect the Service.

When you delete your account, we delete or anonymize your personal information, workout data, community content, and associated profile data subject to limited exceptions for legal, security, fraud-prevention, backup, accounting, or dispute-resolution purposes. Some information you shared with others may remain in limited form if needed to preserve conversation integrity or comply with law, but we remove it from public profile and training surfaces where practical.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
