Privacy Policy for “My Private Gym”
Last updated: 25 May 2026
1) Data Controller
The data controller for processing in connection with this app is: aurarum, H. Klindtworth, Gorch-Fock-Ring 26, 23683 Scharbeutz, Germany. See also our legal notice.
2) Overview
“My Private Gym” helps you plan, log, and analyze strength training. The app primarily stores data locally on your device. No registration or aurarum account is required.
3) What data is processed
a) Data stored locally on your device
- Workout plans, exercises, workouts, sets (weight, reps, duration), rest periods, and exertion values
- Body weight and body fat (entered manually or imported)
- Profile name and training default settings
- Exercise photos and images you capture or select in the app
- App settings (e.g., appearance, timers, chart options)
- On-device learning history for workout suggestions (for example corrections and model parameters)
- Aggregated statistics caches for Home Screen widgets (app group)
This data is stored locally. Training and health data is not transmitted to aurarum.
b) Optional Apple services (only if you enable them)
- iCloud sync: If enabled in app settings, training data, preferences, and exercise photos sync to your private iCloud (CloudKit).
- Apple Health / Fitness: If you enable data exchange, the app may read body weight and body fat from Health and save completed workouts (optionally with exertion) to Health/Fitness.
- Camera and photo library: To add exercise images, if you grant permission.
- Notifications and AlarmKit: For rest timers and optional training reminders, if you allow them.
c) Voluntary feedback to aurarum
If you send feedback through the app, the following is transmitted via HTTPS to www.aurarum.com and forwarded to our support team by email:
- your message (required)
- category (e.g., support, feature request)
- app identifier (“My Gym”)
- optionally your name and email address (for a reply)
Feedback does not include training, Health, or photo data. Name and email are optional. The support email also records your IP address and user agent for abuse prevention and rate limiting.
4) External recipients / third parties
- Apple (iCloud, HealthKit, notifications): processing under your Apple account per Apple’s privacy policy
- aurarum (support feedback): email delivery via our server; only when you voluntarily send feedback
5) Purpose and legal basis
Processing provides app functionality (logging workouts, managing plans, statistics, optional sync and Health integration) and handles support requests.
Where GDPR applies, legal bases may include:
- Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (contract / pre-contractual steps)
- Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests in reliable app operation; handling support feedback and improving the app)
- Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent for optional features such as HealthKit, iCloud, camera, notifications)
6) HealthKit
HealthKit data is used only for app functionality and not for advertising or marketing. You can revoke permissions in iOS Settings or by disabling the toggle in the app.
7) No advertising or tracking profiling
The app does not use proprietary ad-tracking profiling or third-party analytics services.
8) Data retention
Locally stored data remains until you delete it in the app (for example profile data, measurements, workouts, plans, exercises, or the local suggestion learning history) or uninstall the app. Feedback already sent to aurarum and entries stored in Apple Health are not removed automatically by this.
Feedback is delivered as email to info@aurarum.com (no separate database). These emails are deleted no later than 24 months after your request is closed, unless statutory retention obligations apply.
9) Your rights and deletion
Where applicable, you may have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability, and objection.
In the app: Profile → gear icon → Delete app data → Delete all app data. This permanently removes profile data, body metrics, workouts (incl. photos), plans, custom exercises, on-device suggestion learning, and app settings/statistics cache. You can also select individual categories. You can export training data via Profile → gear icon → Export.
What is deleted where:
- In the app (on device): training data, measurements, profile, exercise photos, ML learning history, app settings (see above)
- iCloud (optional, when sync is enabled): deletions sync to your private iCloud storage; open the app on other devices to complete sync
- Apple Health: body weight and body fat are not deleted in the app — manage those entries in the Health app; workouts written by the app may be removed from Health when you delete workouts in the app (if Health exchange is enabled)
- aurarum server (feedback): request deletion of previously sent feedback by email to info@aurarum.com; use Request feedback deletion in the delete dialog

10) Data security
Appropriate technical and organizational measures protect data against loss and unauthorized access.
11) Changes
This privacy policy may be updated, for example due to new features or legal changes. The published version applies.
