Welcome to Muscle Pal! Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our mobile application, Muscle Pal, an app for learning exercises with correct form and tracking your workouts and muscle recovery, on iOS and Android. Please read this privacy policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the application.

We reserve the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy at any time and for any reason. We will alert you about any changes by updating the "Effective Date" of this Privacy Policy. You are encouraged to periodically review this Privacy Policy to stay informed of updates.

Information We Collect

Personal Data: We do not collect any personal data from you directly. Muscle Pal has no account or sign-up, and you can use every part of the app without providing any personal information. If you choose to contact us via email, we will use your email address and any information you provide to respond to your inquiry.

Automatically Collected Information: If you use the free plan, our advertising partner may automatically collect certain information when ads are shown, including:

• Advertising ID
• IP address and general location derived from it
• Device type and operating system
• Information about your interactions with ads

Your workout logs, notes and body data are never shared with advertisers. Muscle Pal contains no analytics service.

Payment Information: Muscle Pal does not collect or process credit or debit card information. In-app purchases are handled by Apple (for iOS) and Google (for Android). We may receive limited transaction information such as purchase confirmation and product identifiers, but we do not have access to your payment card details.

Advertising and Third-Party Services

AdMob by Google: The free plan shows banner ads through AdMob, a mobile advertising service provided by Google. AdMob may collect and use your device's advertising ID, IP address and information about your interactions with ads to deliver and measure ads. Muscle Pal Pro contains no ads.

If you are in the EU, the UK or another region where consent is required, you are asked whether ads may be personalized and can change your choice in the Profile tab. On iOS, you are asked whether tracking is allowed, and you can change this in your device settings.

You can review Google's Privacy Policy here: https://policies.google.com/privacy. You can opt out of personalized advertising in Google's Ad Settings: https://www.google.com/settings/ads.

RevenueCat: We use RevenueCat to manage purchases. RevenueCat processes an anonymous app user ID and your purchase history to confirm which plan is active. See https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy.

Local Data Storage

Your workout logs, notes, routines, favorites and preferences (such as model, weight units, recovery speed and weekly goal) are stored exclusively on your device. This data is not synced to any cloud service or external server operated by us. Your device's own backups, such as iCloud or Google backups, may include app data according to your device settings.

Exercise Updates

Muscle Pal includes its exercise library and works offline. The app may check our content server for new or corrected exercises and download exercise text, videos and images. These requests do not contain your logs, notes, preferences or any identifier. Like any web request, the server receives your IP address, which is used only to deliver the files.

Notifications

If you allow notifications, Muscle Pal alerts you when a rest timer ends. These alerts are scheduled locally on your device. We do not use a push notification service, and no data is sent to a server to deliver them. You can turn notifications off at any time in your device settings.

Home Screen Widgets

Muscle Pal Pro offers home screen widgets for iOS and Android. Widget data, such as your recovery percentage and streak, is processed entirely on your device. No additional data is collected or transmitted as a result of using widgets.

Device Permissions

Muscle Pal uses internet access for exercise updates, vibration for haptic feedback and, if you allow it, notifications for the rest timer. On Android you can also allow alarms so that this alert arrives on time. It does not access your camera, microphone, location, contacts, photos or health data.

Backups You Create

Export creates a file containing your logs, notes and preferences and opens your device's share sheet, so you decide where it goes. Import reads a backup file you choose and is processed on your device.

Data Security

Your training data stays on your device and is protected by your device's own security. Please keep any backup files you export somewhere you trust.

Children's Privacy

Muscle Pal is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you have a question about this, please contact us at muscle-pal@oktayshakirov.com.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, such as the right to access, correct, or delete your data. Since your training data is stored locally, you can delete it at any time with Erase all logs in the Profile tab or by uninstalling the application. To make a request about anything else, please contact us at the email address below.
