1. Introduction
Trainary Inc. ("Trainary," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application (the "App"), website at trainary.fit (the "Website"), and related services (collectively, the "Services").
By accessing or using our Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not access or use our Services.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information You Provide Directly
We collect information that you voluntarily provide when you register for, or use, our Services, including:
- Account Information: Name, email address, and authentication credentials (via Apple Sign-In).
- Profile Information: Role selection (coach or client), fitness goals, and profile preferences.
- User-Generated Content: Workout programs, exercise definitions, workout notes, custom exercises, body measurements, and other content you create within the App.
- Coach-Client Data: Invitation codes, connection data, workout assignments, workout results, and session logs exchanged between coaches and clients.
- Body Measurements: Weight, chest, waist, arm circumference, and other body composition data you voluntarily enter, including BIA (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis) data.
- Communications: Information you provide when contacting our support team.
2.2 Information Collected Through Photo Import
When you use the photo import feature, images you capture or select are processed to extract workout program data (exercises, sets, reps). Images are processed using third-party AI services and are not stored permanently on our servers after processing is complete. We do not use imported images for any purpose other than extracting workout data at your request.
2.3 Health and Fitness Data (Apple HealthKit)
With your explicit permission, Trainary integrates with Apple's HealthKit framework to:
- Read: Workout data, heart rate, active energy burned, and related health metrics to display analytics and insights within the App.
- Write: Workout data (start time, end time, calories burned, duration) to HealthKit when you complete a workout in Trainary, so your Activity Rings and health records are updated.
Apple HealthKit Data Protections:
- HealthKit data is never used for advertising, marketing, or data mining purposes.
- HealthKit data is never sold, shared with, or disclosed to third parties, including advertising platforms, data brokers, or information resellers.
- HealthKit data is never used to determine insurance eligibility, lending decisions, or for any purpose other than providing health and fitness functionality within the App.
- HealthKit data is stored only on your device and in your secure, authenticated cloud account. It is not stored in any third-party analytics or advertising system.
2.4 AI-Processed Data
Trainary uses artificial intelligence to generate session reports and extract workout data from photos. When AI features are used:
- Your workout data (sets, reps, weight, RPE, tempo) may be sent to third-party AI service providers for processing.
- AI-generated reports are based solely on your session data and are provided for informational purposes only.
- We do not use your data to train AI models.
- AI-generated content should not be considered medical, nutritional, or professional health advice.
2.5 Automatically Collected Information
We automatically collect certain information when you use our Services:
- Device Information: Device model, operating system version, unique device identifiers, and mobile network information.
- Usage Data: App interaction metrics (screens visited, features used, buttons tapped), session duration, and frequency of use.
- Crash Data: Crash logs, stack traces, and diagnostic information to help us improve App stability.

- Consent: Processing based on your explicit consent (HealthKit integration, photo import, AI features). You may withdraw consent at any time.
- Legitimate Interests: Processing necessary for our legitimate business interests (analytics, App improvement, security), provided these interests do not override your fundamental rights.
- Legal Obligation: Processing necessary to comply with applicable laws and regulations.
4. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

5. Coach-Client Data Relationship
Trainary facilitates a coach-client relationship where coaches create and assign workout programs to clients:
- Coaches can view their connected clients' workout results, body measurements, progression data, and session summaries. This data sharing is necessary for the coaching functionality and is consented to by the client when they accept a coach's invitation.
- Clients can disconnect from a coach at any time, which will revoke the coach's access to their future data.
- Coaches are responsible for their own use of client data and must comply with all applicable privacy laws in their jurisdiction.
- Trainary acts as a data processor on behalf of coaches (data controllers) with respect to client workout and health data managed through the coaching relationship.
6. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:
- Service Providers: We share data with trusted third-party service providers who
assist us in operating the Services, subject to confidentiality obligations:
- Google/Firebase: Authentication (Firebase Auth), database hosting (Cloud Firestore), analytics (Firebase Analytics), and crash reporting (Firebase Crashlytics). Google's privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy.
- Apple: Authentication (Sign in with Apple) and health data sync (HealthKit). Apple's privacy policy: apple.com/privacy.
- AI Service Providers: For processing photo imports and generating session reports. Data sent to AI providers is limited to the minimum necessary for the specific feature.
- Coach-Client Sharing: Workout data, measurements, and session results are shared between connected coaches and clients as part of the core Service functionality.

- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email or prominent notice within the App before your information becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

7. Data Storage, Security, and International Transfers
Your personal data is stored on Google Cloud Platform (Firebase) servers. These servers may be located in the United States or other countries outside your country of residence.
If you are located in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, your data may be transferred to and processed in countries that may not provide the same level of data protection as your home country. In such cases, we rely on:
- Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission.
- Adequacy decisions by the European Commission for certain countries.
- Your explicit consent where applicable.
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including:
- Encryption in transit (TLS/SSL) and at rest.
- Firebase Security Rules restricting data access to authenticated users.
- Apple Sign-In for secure authentication without password storage.
- Regular security reviews and monitoring.
However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
