Convenience translation: this English version is provided to make the policy easier to read. If there is a conflict, the Portuguese version, governed by Brazilian law, prevails.
1. Data Controller
WorkoutLive is developed and maintained by Marcos André, an independent developer based in Brazil. For this policy, the developer is the controller of personal data processed by the app.
Privacy contact: [email protected]
2. Privacy Principles
WorkoutLive is built with privacy by default:
- Local-first storage: workouts, nutrition, health data and progress stay on your device. WorkoutLive does not operate its own server for this information. If you opt in, iCloud sync carries only a limited list of non-sensitive interface preferences.
- No behavioral advertising: health data is not used for advertising or cross-app or cross-site tracking.
- Your control: you decide which permissions to grant and may revoke them at any time in Settings.
- Protected health data: HealthKit data is not used for advertising or sold. Product lookups and study searches do not include your history or Health data.
3. Data Collected
Data you create, stored locally
- Workout plans, weekly plans and workout history, including exercises, sets, reps, load, rest and notes
- Activity sessions, including activity type, duration, distance, route when available and calories
- Nutrition records, including meals, recipes, meal plans, meals scheduled by date and portions, macros and hydration
- App settings, goals, reminders, voice and appearance preferences
- Achievements, consistency streaks, body weight and measurement history
- Profile and progress photos, assessments, measurements, notes and check-in data when you choose to record them
System data, only with your authorization
- HealthKit: steps, sleep, heart rate, active and resting calories, distance, weight and workouts, according to the permissions you grant.
- Location: route points for outdoor activities when you allow location access.
- Bluetooth: heart-rate, cadence, speed and compatible fitness-machine data when you connect a sensor.
Optional external lookups
- Barcode lookup: when you choose to look up a product, the scanned code or a branded-product search term is sent to Open Food Facts. Photos, Health data, workout history and profile data are not sent in that lookup.
Study research in the assistant: only when you request research, the query is sent to Europe PMC to search public articles. The app does not attach history, Health data, photos or documents to that request. Results include links to the sources. These searches and product lookups need internet; the bundled TBCA food catalog is local.
4. HealthKit Data
WorkoutLive uses Apple HealthKit only with your explicit permission. It can read health information to personalize the experience and write workouts you choose to record. HealthKit data is not used for advertising, sold or disclosed to advertisers.
You can review or revoke access at any time in Settings > Health > Data Access & Devices > WorkoutLive.
5. Backup and continuity
WorkoutLive keeps workout history, nutrition and other personal data on the device. Before deleting the app or changing devices, create a restorable backup in Profile > Data and support > Backup and export, then import the file on the other device.
Optional iCloud sync is free and limited to non-sensitive preferences: language, appearance, tabs, Home layout, quick actions, haptics, countdowns and voice tone. It does not include workouts, sessions, sets, metrics, Health data, nutrition, reminders, plans, location, name or profile photo.
You choose where each backup file is stored or shared. WorkoutLive does not automatically upload backups to iCloud.
6. Camera and Photos
Camera and photo-library permissions are optional. They are used only when you choose features such as a profile photo, progress photos, meal images, Assistant photo questions or importing a document or image. On iOS 27, compatible Apple Intelligence may read visible text or a barcode in an attached image; a barcode identifies a product but does not provide its nutrition. Photos remain on the device unless you explicitly share them or authorize Apple private processing as described below.
7. Location
Location is optional and is requested for outdoor GPS routes and, if you enable the feature, saved-gym check-ins. During an active outdoor activity, WorkoutLive may continue recording the route in the background. With gym check-ins enabled, iOS may monitor entry into a saved gym to show a local notification. Location is not used for advertising or continuous tracking beyond these user-enabled purposes. You can disable gym check-ins in the app or revoke location access at any time in system Settings.
8. Audio, Voice and Assistant
WorkoutLive offers spoken workout feedback in three tones: Neutral (free), Motivational and Minimalist (Pro). iOS speech synthesis runs on the device. The WorkoutLive Assistant also offers optional voice dictation: recording starts only when you choose it and grant Microphone and Speech Recognition permissions. The app requires on-device recognition; audio is not saved or sent to WorkoutLive servers, and the transcript is used in the active assistant conversation. If on-device recognition is unavailable for your device or language, you can still type your question.
Assistant context and images
By default, the assistant uses on-device processing and selected context from your routine. On iOS 27, compatible Apple Intelligence may use native tools to read visible text and barcodes in an attached photo; recognition may be uncertain, and a barcode does not supply nutrition facts. Recent conversation stays in memory during the session; drafts await your review and confirmation before changing workouts or sets. Importing a workout from a photo is a separate flow, also with review before saving.
If private Apple processing is available and authorized, the question, selected conversation context and an attachment may be processed by Apple’s private infrastructure. This option is disabled by default. The app identifies the response’s origin; public study research sends only the query to Europe PMC and does not use this additional processing.
9. Notifications
Notifications are optional and can include reminders, hydration prompts, meal schedules, workout plans and weekly summaries. You can customize or disable them in the app or in system Settings.
10. Sharing
Sharing a workout, plan or report is initiated by you. WorkoutLive does not publish your information publicly on its own. Third-party destinations such as Mail, Messages, FaceTime, Apple Music or Spotify have their own privacy policies.
11. Retention and Deletion
Local information remains on your device while the app is installed. You may remove individual records in the app or remove the app to delete local content. Backups and exports are created and stored only where you choose.
12. Security
WorkoutLive relies on iOS and iPadOS protections, such as device encryption, Keychain, app sandboxing and Apple account security. No method of storage or transmission is entirely risk-free, so keep your device, passcode and Apple account protected.
13. Your Rights under LGPD
Subject to applicable law, you may request confirmation of processing, access, correction, anonymization, blocking, deletion, portability and information about sharing. Because most information is stored locally, many actions are available directly in the app or device settings. For assistance, contact us by email.
14. Children and Teens
WorkoutLive is not designed to knowingly collect personal data from children without the required consent of a parent or legal guardian. If you believe a minor has provided information improperly, contact us so we can help address the request.
15. Policy Updates
This policy may change to reflect product, legal or security updates. Material changes will be reflected on this page with a revised date. Continuing to use the app after the update means you have had access to the revised policy.
