Privacy policy.

Your privacy matters. Here's exactly what we collect, why, and how long we keep it.

Last updated · May 15, 2026

§ 01

Information we collect

We collect information you provide directly to us, such as when you create an account, use our fitness tracking features, or contact us for support.

  • Account information (name, email address, and password — stored in hashed form)
  • Workout session data (exercises, sets, reps, weights, duration, and history)
  • Stretch session data (routines completed, duration, and history)
  • Supplement tracking entries (the supplements you choose to log, whether you took or skipped them, and any notes you add — this is a personal checklist, not medical advice)
  • Progress and performance metrics derived from your sessions
  • Device information and usage data (app interactions, crashes, performance)
  • Analytics data collected via Google Analytics (see Section 07)
§ 02

How we use your information

We use the information we collect to provide, maintain, and improve our services:

  • To record and display your workout and stretch session history
  • To track your progress and achievements
  • To verify your email address during account creation and authenticate sign-ins
  • To send you updates and notifications
  • To improve our app and develop new features
  • To ensure the security of our services
§ 03

Information sharing

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties without your consent, except in the following circumstances:

  • With your explicit consent
  • To comply with legal obligations
  • To protect our rights and safety
  • With trusted service providers who assist in our operations
§ 04

Authentication & account security

Barbell Brains uses email and password authentication. To keep your account secure:

  • Passwords are stored using industry-standard hashing — we never store or have access to your plain-text password
  • We require email verification before you can sign in for the first time, to confirm you own the address provided
  • Verification and password-reset emails are sent to the address associated with your account
  • We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction
§ 05

Data retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with our services. Here is how long we store different types of data:

  • Account data (name, email): Retained for the lifetime of your account and deleted within 30 days of account deletion.
  • Fitness & workout data: Retained for the lifetime of your account and deleted within 30 days of account deletion.
  • Usage & analytics data: Retained for the lifetime of your account and deleted within 30 days of account deletion.
  • Support communications: Retained for up to 3 years for quality and compliance purposes.

You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us or using the account deletion feature in the app. We will process your request within 30 days.

§ 06

Your rights

You have the right to:

  • Access your personal information
  • Correct inaccurate information
  • Delete your account and personal data
  • Withdraw consent for data processing
  • Export your data in a portable format
§ 07

Analytics, cookies & tracking

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience, analyze usage patterns, and improve our services. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings.

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website and blog, including pages viewed, time on page, referral sources, and approximate location derived from IP address. Google Analytics sets its own cookies and may process this information on servers outside your country in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

§ 08

Blog & public content

Our blog at barbellbrains.com/blog is publicly accessible and does not require an account to read. When you visit blog pages we collect the same analytics information described in Section 07. We do not currently host user comments on blog posts, so no comment data is collected.

§ 09

Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.
