Consumer health data policy
This page is about the health data that Train Personal ("the app") handles. It stands beside our privacy policy, which has the detail. It is written with Washington's My Health My Data Act and similar state laws in mind.
Who we are: JGA Ventures LLC, of 30 N Gould St, Ste N, Sheridan, WY 82801, United States. Contact: support@trainpersonal.app.
What we count as health data
We read "health data" widely. In the app it is anything that says what your body did, or what you train:
- Your workouts: when you trained and for how long, each set's weight and reps or seconds, and how hard you said a set was.
- Your plans, your exercises, and the weight chosen for next time.
- Your notes. A note is free text, so it holds whatever you type, an injury included.
- Your answer to "Have you lifted weights before?".
- Your gym's equipment, and your photos of it.
- Your questions to the AI coach, and its replies.
- With the Apple Watch app and your yes on Apple's sheet: your heart rate and energy burned during a watch workout, read from Apple Health, and the workout the watch saves there.
The app does not ask for a diagnosis, medicines, body weight or precise location. It reads nothing from Apple Health except heart rate and active energy, live, during a watch workout.
Where it comes from
From you: what you log, type, photograph and ask in the app. On an Apple Watch, with your yes, your heart rate and energy burned during a workout, from Apple Health. Heart rate is shown on the watch; the app never writes it to your logbook, the phone's database or our server. We get health data from no other source.
Why we collect it
- To give you the app: your logbook, plans and progress.
- To keep a copy with your account and return it on another phone.
- To answer your questions to the AI coach, build a plan with AI, and read a photo of equipment, when you ask.
We do not use it for advertising. We do not sell it. We do not use it to train AI.
When we collect it, and your agreement
Until you agree to one of these, we receive none of your health data. (Your phone's own backup is separate: see below.)
| You do this | The app asks | What then leaves the phone |
|---|---|---|
| Create an account ("Save this workout") | The sheet says what we keep; you continue with Apple or with Google, or tap "Not now" | A copy of your logbook and your equipment photos, to our server |
| Ask the coach, or build a plan with AI | "Before you ask": what is sent and where; "Agree and continue" or "Not now" | With each question: the question and up to 3 earlier ones, your plan, your notes, your last 10 workouts, your best sets, your gym, whether you have lifted before |
| Let AI read a photo ("Ask AI") | "Before AI reads a photo": what is sent and where; "Agree and continue" or "Not now" | One or two photos of one piece of equipment, with the faces the phone found covered, and its note |
You can also export a copy of your logbook yourself. That file goes only where you send it.
Who receives it
We share health data only with the companies that run the service for us:
| Who | What | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Google Cloud, United States | The server's copy of your logbook and your equipment photos | To store them for your account |
| Google Gemini on Vertex AI, United States | What is sent with a coach question, a plan build or a photo read | To write the reply, build the plan or read the photo. Google does not train its AI on it. It may hold a request for up to 24 hours and check it for misuse |
| Google Firebase | Your user id. No health data | To know which account is calling |
| Apple | That you signed in to this app. No health data | Sign in with Apple |
| That you signed in to this app. No health data | Sign in with Google |
If you tap "Watch a video", YouTube learns which exercise was looked up. The app sends it no text of yours. Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
A workout done on the watch is saved to Apple Health, if you allowed it: its type, start, end and energy, no exercise or weight. Health may keep the heart rate measured during it with the workout, as it does for other workouts. A workout you discard on the phone is discarded in Health too. Apple Health keeps it under your own settings. Heart rate never reaches our server.
If iCloud Backup is on, Apple holds a backup of the app's files, under your own settings.
No other company or affiliate receives health data.
How to withdraw your agreement
- The AI coach, AI plans and photo reads: turn the coach off in You. Nothing is then sent to the AI. What our server was sent before is not kept, so there is nothing of ours to delete; Google may hold a request in memory for up to 24 hours, and may log it to check for misuse for a time we do not know.
- The copy with your account: delete your account in You, "Delete account". There is no way yet to keep the account and stop the copy.
- Apple Health: turn off the app's access in the Health app's settings (Sharing, Apps). The watch then logs without heart rate and saves no workout to Health.
- Anything else: write to support@trainpersonal.app.
How to see and delete your health data
- See it: it is in the app. "Export a copy" in You gives you your logbook as one file. Photos are not in that file; they are in the app, on each piece of equipment's page.
- Delete some of it: remove a photo or a piece of equipment on its page; delete the coach's conversation in the Coach tab. A set you undo or a workout you discard stops showing, but its record stays in the logbook and in the server's copy until you delete the account.
- Delete all of it: "Delete account" in You deletes your account, the server's copy of your logbook and photos, and the app's data on this phone, for good. Export a copy first if you want to keep one. With no account, removing the app removes its data from the phone. "Delete account" does not reach your Apple Watch or Apple Health: the watch keeps its copy of today's workout and the last one run on it until you delete its app from the watch or the next workout replaces it, and workouts saved in Health stay there until you delete them in the Health app.
- Ask us: write to support@trainpersonal.app to confirm what we hold, to get a copy, to delete it, or to withdraw an agreement. We reply within 30 days. If we refuse, you can appeal by replying to our answer, and we answer the appeal within 30 days.
Deleted data may stay in a server backup for about a week (7 daily backups).
Changes
We will change this page when the app changes what it does with health data, and put the new date at the top. This policy is published at https://trainpersonal.app/health-data.
