Privacy Policy for Lifting Tempo

Last Updated: 17 Dec 2025

Lifting Tempo ("we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your personal information and Health Data when you use our iOS and watchOS application.

1. Our Privacy Philosophy

We do not sell your data. We believe your workout data belongs to you. Lifting Tempo is designed to function primarily as a standalone tool on your device, processing your data locally or syncing strictly between your own devices (iPhone and Apple Watch).

2. HealthKit and Health Data

Lifting Tempo integrates with Apple’s HealthKit to provide workout tracking functionality.

Data We Access: We may request permission to read and write data to the Apple Health app, specifically to start "Functional Strength Training" or "Traditional Strength Training" workouts and to track metrics like Heart Rate and Active Energy Burned.
How We Use It: This data is used solely to record your workout sessions within the Apple Health ecosystem so they contribute to your Activity Rings and health history.
Data Sharing: We do not share your HealthKit data with third parties for advertising, data mining, or any other purpose. Your health data remains on your device and in your personal iCloud account (if enabled by you).

3. Data Collection and Storage

Local Storage: Your "Tempo Plans" (presets), phase settings, and app preferences are stored locally on your device using on-device storage (UserDefaults).
Device Syncing: We use Apple’s WatchConnectivity framework to transfer your workout plans between your iPhone and Apple Watch. This transfer happens directly via Bluetooth/Wi-Fi and is secure.
No External Servers: We do not operate an external database. We do not have access to your workout history, plans, or health metrics. If you delete the app, your local app data is deleted from the device (though your workout history will remain in Apple Health).

4. Third-Party Services

Lifting Tempo does not integrate with third-party analytics SDKs (like Google Analytics or Facebook Pixel) or advertising networks. We do not track your behavior across other apps or websites.

5. Data Security

Because we do not collect your data on our own servers, your data is as secure as your iPhone and Apple Watch. We rely on the security features provided by iOS and watchOS to protect your information.

6. Children’s Privacy
