The App uses the following third-party services and entrusts information to them to the extent necessary to provide those services.

ProcessorPurposeInformation entrusted
Supabase Inc.Database and authenticationAll usage data
Google LLCPlace search (Places API)Search queries, nearby coordinates
Apple Inc.Sign-in authentication, in-app purchasesAccount identifier, purchase information
RevenueCat, Inc.Billing status managementUser identifier, purchase information

Functional Software, Inc. (Sentry)Error monitoringCrash logs, device and OS information, user identifier

These processors handle the information only in accordance with our instructions and only within the purposes set out in this Policy.

Among the processors listed above, Supabase Inc., Google LLC, Apple Inc., RevenueCat, Inc., OpenAI, L.L.C. and Functional Software, Inc. and others are located outside Japan (principally in the United States), and your personal information may therefore be handled in those countries. Such handling is carried out only to the extent necessary to achieve the purposes set out in this Policy.

We make these transfers to providers outside Japan under Article 28, paragraph 1 of the Act on the Protection of Personal Information, as transfers to a party that has established a system continuously meeting the standards equivalent to the measures a personal information handling business operator must take under Chapter IV, Section 2 of that Act. We have entered into agreements on the handling of personal information with each provider, have taken the measures necessary to ensure that they continuously implement equivalent measures, and verify that implementation at least once a year. Information about the countries concerned, the personal data protection regimes in those countries, the measures those providers take to protect personal information, and the measures we have taken as described above will be provided through the contact point in Article 13 upon your request.

We may create statistical information from the information we collect, processed into a form that cannot identify a specific individual and that does not constitute personal information. We may use and provide such statistical information to third parties without being subject to the purpose limitations in this Policy and without a time limit.

Article 5 (Cookies and similar technologies)

The App is a mobile application and does not use browser cookies. It uses the following on-device storage instead.

  1. AsyncStorage: your authentication session, a local cache viewable offline (session history, PRs and the like) and onboarding progress
  2. Supabase authentication tokens: access and refresh tokens (with expiry) that keep you signed in

These are stored on your device and are erased when you sign out or delete the App.

Article 6 (Handling of health and exercise information)

  1. The height, weight, training records and other values you enter are used only to calculate energy expenditure and to let you review your own progress.
  2. This information is not intended for medical diagnosis or medical practice. The figures shown in the App are estimates only and do not constitute medical advice.
  3. We do not provide this information to third parties except as set out in Article 4.

Article 7 (Handling of location information)

  1. We collect location information only if you have permitted the App to use location.
  2. Location information is used solely to register and determine your home gym (checking whether you are within a certain distance of it).
  3. You can stop the collection of location information at any time from your device's OS settings or from within the App. If you stop it, some features such as logging training at a gym may become unavailable.
  4. We do not continuously track your location history. The App uses foreground location only and does not track in the background.

Article 8 (Use by minors)

The App is intended for people aged 13 or over. People under 13 may not use the App. People aged 13 or over and under 18 should use the App with the consent of a parent or guardian.

Article 9 (Retention period)

We retain your personal information only for the period necessary to provide the App. If you delete your account, we will delete the personal information we hold within a reasonable period, except to the extent required by applicable laws and regulations.

Article 10 (Disclosure, correction, deletion and similar requests)

You may request disclosure, correction, addition, deletion, suspension of use or suspension of provision to third parties of your own personal information held by us. Please contact us using the method set out in Article 13 (Contact).

Article 11 (Security measures)

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to prevent leakage, loss or damage of your personal information and otherwise to manage it securely. Specifically, we encrypt communications (HTTPS / TLS), apply access control to the database (row level security) and store authentication tokens securely.

While we take the measures described above, given the nature of transmitting information over the internet we cannot guarantee complete security. If personal information is leaked or otherwise compromised due to a cause attributable to us and you suffer damage as a result, our liability for damages is governed by the limitation of liability provisions of the Terms of Service of the App.

Article 12 (Changes to this Policy)

We may change this Policy in response to changes in laws and regulations, changes to the service and similar circumstances. If there is a material change, we will give advance notice within the App or on the App's distribution channel. The amended Policy takes effect when it is posted in the App or notice is given.

We may also change the purposes of use within a scope reasonably considered to be related to the purposes before the change, and if we do so we will notify or publish the change within the App or in this Policy.

Article 13 (Business operator information and contact)

The personal information handling operator for the App, and the contact point for inquiries about this Policy and for requests such as disclosure of personal information, are as follows.
