Alpha Lifts is a workout tracking app. This policy describes what data the app handles, where it goes, and your choices. The short version: your training data lives on your device, syncs to our server only when you sign in, and is never sold or shared with advertisers.
Your workout programs, logged sessions, body weight and measurements, nutrition check-ins, settings, and progress photos are stored locally on your device. Progress photos never leave your device — they are not included in backups or cloud sync.
Creating an account requires an email address and password. Passwords are stored only as salted cryptographic hashes. When you are signed in, your training data (programs, workout history, settings — not photos) syncs to our server, hosted on Cloudflare infrastructure, so it follows you across devices. Deleting the app's data from Settings ("Reset App") also erases the synced cloud copy.
If you use the AI Coach, a summary of your training context (your program, recent sessions, aggregate stats, and — if you log them — body weight and nutrition summaries) is sent with your messages to our server, which forwards them to Anthropic's Claude API to generate responses. This data is used only to answer you; conversations are stored in your own app data, not used to train models.
We send transactional email only (account verification and password reset), delivered via Resend. No marketing email, ever.
Rest-timer alerts and workout reminders are generated on your device. If you enable cloud reminders on the web app, a push subscription for your browser is stored server-side solely to deliver those reminders.
On Android, you can optionally connect Alpha Lifts to Health Connect to sync fitness data between apps. This is off by default and only turns on when you tap Connect in Settings and grant the permissions Health Connect asks for. When connected, Alpha Lifts:
This data is exchanged only between Alpha Lifts and Health Connect on your device. Alpha Lifts does not transmit your Health Connect data to our servers or any third party, and it is never used for advertising. Your logged body weight and cardio sessions sync to your account as part of your training data (see above); step counts are stored on your device. You can revoke Alpha Lifts' access at any time in Settings → Health Connect → Disconnect in the app, or from Android's Settings → Security & privacy → Health Connect, and you control what Health Connect retains from within Health Connect itself.
The app generates a random device identifier used only to meter AI Coach usage. There are no third-party analytics, ad networks, or trackers of any kind.
You can delete your account and all associated data yourself at any time: open Settings → Account → Delete account, confirm with your password, and your account, synced training data, workout reminder subscriptions, and plan share links are permanently removed from our servers, along with the data on that device. You can also erase local and synced training data without deleting the account via Settings → Reset App. If you can no longer sign in, contact ryanhouse19@gmail.com and your account will be removed promptly.
If this policy changes, the "Last updated" date above will change with it.
