Privacy Policy
Gym Guard AI ("the app", "we") is an iOS accountability app that can block selected apps until a live gym photo is verified. We keep as much data on-device as possible and keep the server side deliberately minimal.
Data we process
- Photos you take in the app. When you tap "Verify", the app sends a single low-resolution image to our server, which forwards it to Microsoft Azure OpenAI for gym verification. The image is processed in memory and is not stored or logged by us. If you choose the optional onboarding body progress estimate, the app similarly sends one low-resolution progress photo for a non-medical estimate and does not store that photo server-side.
- Onboarding quiz answers. Your goals, schedule preference, lock preference, motivation style, and skip triggers are stored locally on your device to personalize your plan. If you use the optional body progress estimate, those answers are sent with the photo to generate the estimate.
- Training schedule, streaks, and latest visit details. Stored locally on your device. We do not receive this data.
- Screen Time app selections and emergency overrides. Your selected apps, categories, websites, lock schedule, unlock state, and override count are stored locally on your device and shared only between the app and its Screen Time extension through an Apple App Group. We do not receive the names of apps you block.
- Basic technical request data. Our verification proxy may briefly process network metadata needed to return a verification result. We do not use it for analytics or advertising.
- Marketing website analytics. Our public website may use Meta Pixel to measure page visits and whether visitors click App Store free-trial or support links. That data is limited to the website and is not used inside the iOS app verification flow.
- Subscription status. Purchases and subscription entitlement checks are handled by Apple StoreKit. We do not receive your full payment card details.
Data we do NOT collect
- We do not have user accounts.
- We do not sell or share data with advertisers.
- We do not store your photos or verification history server-side.
- We do not receive your blocked app names, Screen Time tokens, or emergency override history.
Website analytics
If Meta Pixel is enabled on our marketing website, Meta may receive browser metadata, cookie information, and page interaction events such as page views and button clicks. We use that only to understand marketing-site performance. The pixel does not run inside the iOS app and does not receive your verification photos, workout history, or subscription data.
Third parties
- Microsoft Azure OpenAI — gym photo verification and optional onboarding body progress estimates (images are sent transiently and not retained by us; Azure's data handling is governed by Microsoft's privacy terms).
- Vercel — hosts the proxy that forwards verification requests.
- Meta — may receive marketing website analytics events if Meta Pixel is enabled.
- Apple StoreKit — processes subscriptions and purchase restoration.
- Apple Screen Time APIs — power Family Controls, selected-app blocking, and the shield shown over apps you choose.
Permissions
- Camera — required to take a verification photo.
- Screen Time / Family Controls — optional permission used to let you choose apps, categories, or websites to block until gym verification.
Children
Gym Guard AI is not directed to children under 13.
Your rights
Because we don't collect personal data, there's nothing for us to delete on your behalf. Deleting the app removes all locally stored data on your device.
