Privacy Policy

LiftWeight is the strength-training service provided under the Himalayan Tales Studio name. For privacy questions or to exercise your rights, contact privacy@himalayantales.com. For help using the app, contact support@himalayantales.com.

Our servers store your account identifiers, email and display name; sign-in provider information; plans, custom exercises, logged sets and workout history; notes, records, body entries, preferences and subscription status. Device caches and pending offline changes let the app continue working before it reconnects.

Your saved training profile includes choices such as goal, experience, equipment and training days. The current plan-builder movement-avoid answers are used for that request, not automatically added to Ask Coach context.

Current progress photos are stored on the device or browser where you add them. LiftWeight does not upload these photos or their metadata, include them in account exports, or automatically send them to AI. Remove them in Progress → Photos on the device that holds them. Device/browser storage and backup behavior are also controlled by your operating system and browser.

These optional mobile features are off until you enable them and grant the relevant system permissions. Depending on your choices, LiftWeight can read weight, workout sessions, workout heart rate and active energy, and save completed workouts to the device health platform. You can decline or revoke permissions and keep using core workout logging.

Health readings are processed on your phone for the enabled feature. Importing a weight is a separate, explicit action: it creates a Body entry that is uploaded to your LiftWeight account and synced like a measurement you enter yourself. Imported Body entries are covered by account export and deletion. Turning off Health access does not delete an already imported Body entry or a workout already saved in Apple Health or Health Connect; manage those separately.

Health readings and imported measurements are not automatically included in Ask Coach context. We do not sell Health data or use it for advertising. LiftWeight is for general fitness and does not provide medical advice.

The plan builder, progression targets and Coach suggestions use deterministic training rules. They are separate from AI-generated explanations or Ask Coach responses. You review proposed plan changes before applying them.

When you use an enabled AI feature, your question and the limited training context needed for it are sent through our server to the configured AI service. Ask Coach context includes your scheduled plan, up to 24 workouts from the last eight weeks, records and units; custom names are replaced with neutral labels. The approved AI provider is Google’s paid Gemini service; availability depends on actual service configuration and your consent.

The app does not automatically add your name, email, photos, workout notes, body measurements, Health readings or movement-avoid answers to Ask Coach context. However, information you type into your question is part of that question and is sent to the provider. Do not enter medical records, passwords or other sensitive information you do not want processed. AI answers can be wrong; ordinary logging and access to saved training do not require AI.

LiftWeight sends limited product events, such as subscription-screen visits, purchase/restore outcomes and progression-target interactions, to our server. When sent while signed in, these events can be linked to your account identifier; they are not anonymous. Event properties are intended to describe feature use rather than contain your workout notes, body measurements or full training contents.

We also process technical and security information needed to operate the service. Where diagnostic reporting is enabled, Sentry may receive error and device/app information. These uses support reliability, security and understanding feature use, not advertising. There is no general analytics opt-out control in the current Settings.

Hosting and database services process account and training records to operate LiftWeight. Google or Apple process sign-in when you choose those options. Optional push delivery uses the configured notification service and Apple or Google delivery infrastructure. Email providers process service emails.

RevenueCat and the relevant app store process purchase history, subscription status and customer identifiers for native subscriptions. Stripe processes website payments and related billing records. Payment-card details are entered with the payment provider rather than stored as card numbers by LiftWeight. Subscription SDKs can contact their services even when no purchasable offering is currently available.

AI providers receive the question and training context described above when an AI feature is used. A provider’s own privacy terms also describe its processing. We do not sell personal data or share training data for advertising.

We use account and training data to provide the service you request. Optional Health access and importing measurements depend on your choices and permissions. AI use is explained before you send a request. Security, abuse prevention and service diagnostics support operating and protecting the service; payment records may also be required by law.

Some service providers may process data outside your country, including in the United States. Contact the privacy address for information about the providers, processing locations and safeguards applicable to your data.

Use Profile → Settings → Your data to export the training records supported by the account export in JSON or CSV. Core logging, full workout history, records and export are not limited to Pro. Device-only photos and unimported Health readings are not part of that server export.

You can request permanent account deletion in the app or on the website. Deletion removes the active account and associated training records; it is not a promise that every backup or independently held provider record disappears immediately. Export anything you want to keep first.

App Store and Google Play subscriptions must be cancelled in the relevant store. For website subscriptions, manage cancellation in Membership and billing before deleting and retain the confirmation. Account deletion also requests cancellation of a linked website subscription; contact support if you do not receive confirmation or a charge needs investigation.

Account and training records are kept while needed to provide your active account and requested features, until you remove them or delete the account. Backup copies can remain until replaced through the backup rotation process. Security, legal and transaction records, and records held by payment or other providers, can have different retention requirements.

Scheduled cleanup removes Ask Coach conversations from the live service after 12 months without an update, resolved Coach safety reports 180 days after resolution, and Coach safety events after 90 days. Monthly Coach usage counters can be retained for up to 14 calendar months. These service records are separate from recovery backups.

Google's published Gemini API abuse-monitoring policy retains prompts, context and generated responses for 55 days for safety and policy enforcement. This provider-managed retention is separate from LiftWeight chat history and account deletion. Separate legal or transaction retention obligations may also apply.

Contact the privacy address for the retention information applicable to your request and for help with records not covered by self-service deletion.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, export or delete personal data; restrict or object to certain processing; and withdraw consent. Revoking device permission stops future access but does not erase data you already chose to save or import. Contact privacy@himalayantales.com to make a request or ask about its status. You may also complain to your local data-protection authority.

LiftWeight is intended for adults aged 18 and older. Contact us if you believe a child has provided personal data.

We use HTTPS for service communications and access controls to protect accounts. Keep your sign-in credentials and devices secure; no security measure provides an absolute guarantee. We update the date on this page when the policy changes. The Terms of Service also apply to your use of LiftWeight.
