Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 29, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Gymaniacs handles your information. By using the app, you agree to the practices described here.
Data we collect
Account data: name, email and profile photo when you create an account or sign in with Apple or Google.
App content: workouts, challenges, check-ins, photos and reactions you create or share.
Usage data: basic technical information to keep the app running and improve the experience.
Apple Health data
With your permission, Gymaniacs reads Apple Health data — such as steps, active energy, heart rate and sleep — to log workouts and check-ins.
This data is used only to provide app features. We do not sell, rent or use health data for advertising, and it is never shared with third parties for that purpose.
Health Connect data (Android)
On Android, with your permission, Gymaniacs reads the exercise sessions other apps recorded in Health Connect, solely to show them on the Home screen alongside your workouts.
This data is read and processed on your device: it is not sent to our servers, not shared with third parties and never used for advertising. You can revoke this access at any time in your Health Connect settings.
How we use data
To operate and improve app features such as challenges, leaderboards and workouts.
To sync your activity between iPhone and Apple Watch.
To keep your account secure and meet legal obligations.
Sharing
Content you post in a challenge is visible to the participants of that challenge.
We use infrastructure providers (such as authentication and storage) solely to operate the service.
Data retention and deletion
We keep your data only for as long as your account exists. Account data, workouts, challenges, check-ins and photos stay stored while you use Gymaniacs.
How to delete your account: open Gymaniacs, go to your profile, enter settings and tap “Delete account”. You can also email hello@gymaniacs.app to request deletion of the account tied to your email address.
What gets deleted: deletion is immediate and permanently removes your profile, workouts, routines, challenges, check-ins, photos, reactions and other personal data from our systems. Encrypted backups are overwritten within 30 days.
What is never stored: data read from Health Connect stays on your device and never reaches our servers. Apple Health data used to log workouts and check-ins is deleted along with your account.
What may be kept: minimal records required by legal or tax obligations — such as purchase receipts — for the period required by applicable law, even after your account is deleted.
Security
Data travels over encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS) and is stored on infrastructure with encryption at rest and per-user access control.
Your rights
You can access, correct or delete your data at any time through the app or by contacting us.
Deleting your account removes your personal data, as required by law.
