Privacy Policy for Workout Timer

Timer data and optional iCloud sync

The app stores timer configurations, presets, workout history and preferences on your device. History may include dates, durations, exercise and round counts, assigned exercise names, moods and notes you enter. Active timer checkpoints and notification preferences remain local.

When iCloud is enabled and available for the app, presets, timer history and selected preferences can sync through your private Apple CloudKit database. We do not have administrative access to this private database. Restoring these records requires the same Apple Account, available iCloud and a completed upload before the earlier app installation is deleted. Sync is not an immediate or guaranteed backup: changes that have not uploaded may be lost, and an older cloud copy may return.

A paired iPhone and Apple Watch exchange timer configurations, progress and completed timer summaries through WatchConnectivity. Those timer-sync messages do not include heart-rate or active-energy measurements. Separately, with your permission, HealthKit workout-session mirroring can relay available current and average heart rate and active energy from Apple Watch to iPhone for the live workout display. The copies used for that live display stay temporarily in app memory; they are not put in timer-sync messages, the app’s CloudKit records, widget data, shared preset files or CSV/PDF history exports.

Your body profile

If you enter gender, weight, height, birthday or measurement units, the app stores this body profile locally in storage excluded from device backups. It is not included in the app’s iCloud sync or sent to RevenueCat. Deleting the app removes this local profile; reinstalling does not restore it from iCloud.

Optional Apple Health access

With your permission, the Watch app records workouts in Apple Health and reads available heart rate and active energy for the workout display. On iPhone, you can explicitly import weight and height into a profile draft, review the values and choose whether to save that profile locally. If you enable saving to Apple Health, the iPhone app saves completed workouts and, when available, clearly identified estimated active energy based on your profile and workout. The iPhone app can read this app’s own workouts, available heart rate and active energy to show training details. Health access and workout saving are optional; declining or revoking permission does not block the basic timer.

Measured workout metrics remain in Apple Health and are read into app memory for display. Weight and height that you explicitly import and save become part of the local body profile described above. The app also keeps local calorie estimates, the body weight used for those estimates, and records of pending or completed iPhone Health saves in storage excluded from device backups. These local records support estimate history and retrying or avoiding duplicate Health saves; deleting the app removes them. Profile values, calorie estimates and Health measurements are not included in the app’s CloudKit records, widget data, shared preset files, CSV/PDF history exports or RevenueCat. Apple separately controls Health storage and any Health sync you enable. You can revoke permissions and manage or delete Health records through Apple’s Health and system settings. Deleting a timer-history entry does not delete the corresponding Apple Health workout. See Apple’s Health privacy information and Health data controls.

Purchases and RevenueCat

Apple handles App Store payments. RevenueCat processes purchase history and receipt or transaction information to verify access, restore purchases, prevent purchase fraud and provide purchase analytics in its dashboard. It also processes a generated anonymous app-user identifier and technical information such as device platform, app version, locale and currency. This identifier is not a promise that no data is processed.

The app does not send RevenueCat a custom account identifier, name, email address, body profile, workout notes or Health measurements. We do not receive your Apple Account password or payment-card details. See RevenueCat’s Privacy Policy and Apple’s Privacy Policy.

The free 30-day Full Access trial starts only when you explicitly activate it. It does not automatically charge you when it ends. You can still view saved workouts and export them as CSV or PDF. After the trial, Full Access is required for presets, the planner, statistics and editing notes. Apple Watch and Combine require paid access. Lifetime Full Access is a separate, optional one-time purchase. Any existing renewable subscription remains managed through your App Store account; purchasing lifetime access or deleting the app does not cancel that subscription.

Exports, deletion and your choices

CSV and PDF exports are created locally and shared only to a destination you choose. Temporary export copies may remain on your device until later cleanup. Copies you save or share elsewhere are controlled by you and the destination service.

You can delete individual workouts from history. You can delete presets when you have access to the preset library. When iCloud sync is available, those deletions sync to your other devices. Deleting the app removes local app data but does not itself erase existing iCloud records, Apple Health records or purchase records held by Apple or RevenueCat. Apple’s iCloud storage and Health controls manage those records separately. Contact us about requests concerning purchase data.
