ATHENA — Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 19, 2026
ATHENA is a strength-training tracker. This policy explains, in plain terms, what data the app handles.
The short version: Your workout data is yours. It lives on your device and in your personal iCloud — we can’t see it. No ads, no selling your data, no tracking you across other apps. The app sends us anonymous crash reports and feature-usage counts so we can fix bugs and improve the app — never your weights, reps, or health data.
What the app stores
- Your training data — workouts, exercises, sets, weights, routines, body-weight entries, and settings. Stored on your device and synced through your own iCloud account (Apple’s CloudKit) so you don’t lose it when you change phones. We, the developer, have no access to this — it lives in your private iCloud.
- Profile basics — an optional name and goal you enter, stored on your device.
Apple Health (optional)
If you turn on the Apple Health connection, ATHENA can read your heart rate during a workout (for the live display) and save your finished workouts and body weight into Apple Health. This data moves only between the app and Apple Health on your device — it is never sent to us or to any third party, and it is never included in analytics.
Diagnostics & analytics (what we DO collect)
To keep the app stable and understand which features matter, the app sends limited, privacy-conscious data to these services:
- Crash reports (Firebase Crashlytics, by Google) — if the app crashes, a technical report (stack trace, device model, OS version) is sent so we can fix it. Not linked to your identity.
- Feature-usage events (PostHog) — anonymous counts like “a workout was finished (5 exercises, ~45 min)” or “a routine was created.” Never your weights, reps, exercise details, body weight, heart rate, or anything from Apple Health. Not linked to your identity.
- Purchase records (RevenueCat) — if you buy a subscription, Apple processes the payment and RevenueCat receives the anonymous purchase receipt (product and price) so we can operate subscriptions and see revenue. We never see your payment details.
Crews (optional social feature)
If you create or join a Crew (an invite-only group), the app shares a limited summary with that crew’s members:
- A display name you choose
- Weekly training summaries — which muscle groups you trained, your streak, and set counts (never your specific weights, exercises, or notes)
These are stored in a shared iCloud database so your crew members can see them. You can turn sharing off or leave a crew at any time, which removes your shared data. If you report a member, we receive that report (the accounts involved and the reason) so we can review and act on it.
What we do NOT do
- No ads or ad networks
- No tracking you across other companies’ apps or websites (no advertising identifiers)
- No selling or sharing your data with anyone
- No account or login — your identity is your anonymous iCloud ID
- Your workout numbers and Apple Health data are never sent to us or anyone else
Notifications
The app can send local reminders (training-day nudges, rest-timer alerts). These are generated on your device; we don’t see them. You control them in iOS Settings.
Your control & deletion
- Delete any data in the app at any time
- Delete the app to remove its local data; the iCloud copy is managed in Settings → [your name] → iCloud
- Turn off Crew sharing or leave a crew to remove your shared summaries
- Crash and usage data is anonymous and auto-expires on the providers’ standard schedules; email us to ask about it
Children
ATHENA is not directed at children under 13.
Changes
We may update this policy; the “last updated” date above will change.
