Privacy Policy

Strakk ("Strakk", "we", "us") is a social fitness app built and operated by an independent developer. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the control you have, both in the app and on this website. Any questions, reach out at strakkhq@gmail.com.

We only collect what we need to run your workouts, rooms, and records. We never sell your data, and we never use your Apple Health data for advertising. You can export or delete your account whenever you want.

• Account. Your email, name, username, and profile photo. If you sign in with Google or Apple, we receive basic profile details (name, email) from them.
• Fitness activity. Workouts you log (exercises, sets, reps, weights), cardio like runs, rides and walks, plans, sessions, streaks, points, and muscle-balance stats.
• Apple Health data. If you connect Apple Health, we read the workout and health metrics you approve (such as workouts, heart rate, active energy, step count, and distance) to show your activity in Strakk. See the Apple Health section below.
• Location. For outdoor activities, we use your device location while a session is active to map your route. We do not track your location in the background outside of a session.
• Photos and media. Photos you add to your profile or post to a room.
• Social content. Rooms you create or join, posts, stories, comments, and reactions.
• Notifications. A device token, so we can send the reminders and nudges you turn on.
• Device and diagnostics. Basic device and app information to keep the app working and fix issues.
• Waitlist (this site). The email address you submit to join the waitlist.
• Website analytics (this site). We use Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights to count page views and measure load times. They are cookie-free and do not build a profile of you or follow you to other sites.

• Run and personalize the app: log workouts, build plans, and track records.
• Power rooms, feeds, leaderboards, points, streaks, and milestones.
• Send the notifications and nudges you choose to enable.
• Sync your data across your devices and keep it backed up.
• Respond to support requests and improve Strakk.
• Let you know about the launch and updates (waitlist email).
• We do not use your data for third-party advertising.

• Strakk only accesses the Health data you explicitly grant in the iOS prompt.
• We use it solely to display and calculate your activity inside Strakk.
• We never sell it, and we never use it for advertising or marketing.
• One exception to sharing, stated plainly: if you use the AI Coach, the training figures behind your question, which can include step counts read from Apple Health, are sent to our model provider so it can answer. Nothing else from Apple Health is shared, and you can avoid this entirely by not using the Coach.
• You can review or revoke Strakk's Health access any time in iOS Settings → Health → Data Access & Devices.

• We ask first. The Coach does not open until you have agreed to it using your training data. Decline and nothing is sent; we simply ask again the next time you tap it.
• The Coach answers using figures we have already computed from your training, such as sessions, sets, streaks, weekly points, body weight and step count. Your message and those figures are sent to our model provider to generate a reply.
• We route these requests through OpenRouter to the model that answers them. They process the request to produce the reply and are not permitted to use it for advertising.
• We do not send your email address or your name, and the Coach cannot read your photos, stories, or the comments and reactions in your rooms.
• If you ask the Coach about a room, that room's leaderboard is included so it can answer, which means the usernames and weekly points of its members. That is the same standing everyone in the room already sees in the app.
• Conversations are stored on your account so you can revisit them, and you can delete them from within the app.
• The Coach is not a medical service. It is a training assistant working from your own numbers, and it can be wrong.
• It makes no decision that has a legal or similarly significant effect on you. It suggests, and you decide. Strakk works fully without it, and declining costs you nothing else.

We do not sell or rent your personal data. We share it only:

• With service providers who run the app for us, under confidentiality, chiefly Supabase (database, authentication, and storage), Google for sign-in, and OpenRouter, which routes AI Coach requests to the model provider that answers them. Model providers process these requests to generate a reply and are not permitted to use them for advertising.
• With RevenueCat, which manages subscriptions and tells the app whether you have Strakk Pro. Payment itself is handled by Apple; we never see your card details.
• With Vercel, which hosts this website and provides its privacy-friendly analytics.
• With members of rooms you join. Your posts, activity, and leaderboard standing are visible to that room.
• When required by law, or to protect the rights and safety of our users. Your Apple Health data is never shared, as noted above.

Where the law requires us to name a legal basis, such as under the UK and EU GDPR, ours are:

• Performance of a contract. Running your account, logging your training, and delivering the features you signed up for.
• Consent. Apple Health access, notifications, location, and the AI Coach. Each is asked for separately and you can withdraw any of them without losing the rest of the app.
• Legitimate interests. Keeping Strakk secure, fixing faults, and understanding which features are used, balanced against your privacy.

Strakk is operated from India, and our providers run infrastructure in several countries, so your data may be processed outside the country you live in. Where that involves a transfer out of the UK or EEA, we rely on the safeguards our providers put in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses. The protections described in this policy apply wherever your data is handled.

Your data is stored with our backend provider (Supabase) and protected with industry-standard measures, including encryption in transit and access controls. Sign-in tokens are kept in your device's secure storage. No system is perfectly secure, but we work hard to protect your information. If a breach ever affects your personal data and puts you at risk, we will tell you and the relevant regulator without undue delay.

• Access, correct, or update your profile and data in the app.
• Delete your account yourself, from Profile in the app. You do not need to email us or wait for us to action it: it is removed straight away.
• Revoke Health, location, camera, photo, or notification permissions in your device settings at any time.
• Unsubscribe from waitlist emails via any email or by contacting us.
• Withdraw consent at any time. Turn off Apple Health in iOS Settings, turn off notifications, or stop using the AI Coach. Withdrawing does not affect anything done beforehand, and the rest of Strakk keeps working.
• Depending on where you live you may also have the right to access a copy of your data, correct it, have it erased, receive it in a portable format, object to or restrict how we use it, and complain to your data protection regulator. Email us and we will action it within one month.
• We do not sell or share your personal information as those terms are defined under US state privacy laws, and we never have. You will never be charged more or given a worse experience for exercising any right here.

We keep your data only for as long as your account exists.

• Deleting your account deletes your data immediately, in the same request. Not after 30 days, and not on a schedule. Your profile, training history, cardio, rooms and comments, photos, and anything read from Apple Health are removed, and your login is deleted with them.
• AI Coach conversations live on your account, so they go at the same moment. You can also delete them individually at any time.
• We do not keep an archive, a copy, or an anonymised shadow of your data after deletion. There is nothing left for us to restore, and nothing to ask us for.
• The one thing outside our control is your purchase record, which Apple and our subscription provider hold under their own policies. We cannot delete that, and it contains no training data.

Strakk is not intended for anyone under 13, or the minimum age of digital consent in your country. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we will delete it.

We may update this policy as Strakk evolves. We will change the date at the top, and continued use after an update means you accept the revised policy.
