GymBuddy Privacy Policy

Last updated: 9 November 2026

GymBuddy ("the app") is made by Narges Baratali. This policy explains what the app does with your information. In short: the app has no account, no ads and no analytics, and everything you enter stays on your device.

What you enter and where it is kept

Workouts, plans, your profile (for example height, weight, body fat, body measurements, training background, injuries, health notes, diet and supplements), comments, ratings and reminders are stored only in the app's database on your device. We do not run a server and we never receive this information. The app's data is excluded from device backups, so uninstalling the app deletes it.

Sharing files

You can choose to export a plan or your profile as a file and send it to someone, for example your coach, using your phone's share sheet. Before a profile file is created, the app shows what will be included and lets you leave parts out. Once you send a file, the app you send it with (for example a messaging or email app) and the person who receives it handle it under their own terms. When you import a file someone sent you, it is stored on your device only.

Internet use

The app downloads exercise pictures from a public exercise database hosted on GitHub (raw.githubusercontent.com). These requests contain no personal information, but like any web request the server can see your IP address. Nothing you enter is sent.

Camera, photos and voice

• Plan photos: if you take or choose a photo of a written plan, the text is read on your device using Google ML Kit text recognition. The photo is not uploaded by the app. Google ML Kit may send basic diagnostic and performance information to Google; see Google's ML Kit data disclosure.
• Voice input: if you tap the microphone, your phone's speech recognition service turns speech into text. That service is provided by your device (for example Google) under its own privacy terms. The app keeps only the resulting text.

Notifications and alarms

The app uses notifications for the rest timer and the reminders you set. These are scheduled on your device.

Children

GymBuddy is not directed at children under 13.

Deleting your data

You can delete workouts, plans, check-ins, comments and reminders in the app, or remove everything by uninstalling the app or clearing its storage in your phone's settings.
