We do not use your data for advertising, sell your data to third parties, or create advertising profiles.
3. How We Store and Protect Your Information
3.1 Storage Locations
- On your device: Workout data, preferences, and cached content are stored locally in an encrypted SQLite database.
- In the cloud: Your data is synchronised to Google Cloud Firestore (database) and Firebase Storage (photos and avatars), hosted on Google Cloud infrastructure.
- Preferences: App settings (units, rest timer, theme) are stored locally on your device and are not synced to the cloud.
3.2 Security Measures
- All data transmitted between the App and our servers is encrypted using TLS (Transport Layer Security).
- Cloud data is protected by Firebase security rules that enforce user-level access control — you can only read and write your own data.
- Authentication is handled by Firebase Authentication using industry-standard OAuth 2.0 protocols.
- Social profile data has granular access controls: private profiles are only visible to approved followers.
- Firebase App Check is used to verify that requests to our backend originate from genuine instances of the App.
