Privacy Policy
Last updated 25 September 2026The short version
MyGymBuddy works fully offline. Your workouts, routines, equipment profiles, records and any heart-rate data are stored only on your phone. There is no MyGymBuddy account, no MyGymBuddy server, no ads and no analytics. We don't sell or share your data, because we never receive it.
Two things involve another company, and only when you use them: buying MyGymBuddy Pro (handled by Google Play), and reading data from Health Connect (which stays on your phone). Both are described below.
What the app stores on your device
- Equipment profiles: the equipment you mark as available (e.g. Home, Gym).
- Routines: routines you build or adopt from the built-in programs.
- Workout history: exercises, sets, reps, weight, reps-in-reserve, notes, dates and times.
- Bodyweight: entries you choose to log, used to interpret weighted and assisted bodyweight exercises.
- Workout vitals: heart-rate summary, workout duration and active calories, only if you connect Health Connect (see below).
- Preferences: units, rest time, appearance and similar settings.
This data lives in the app's private storage. MyGymBuddy does not transmit it anywhere.
Health Connect
If you choose Settings → Connect Samsung Health, MyGymBuddy asks Android for permission to read these Health Connect data types:
| Data type | Why |
|---|---|
| Heart rate | To show average, maximum and minimum heart rate on the summary of a workout you logged in MyGymBuddy. |
| Exercise sessions | To find the watch recording that matches the time of your logged workout, and show its duration. |
| Active calories burned | To show calories for that same workout. |
- MyGymBuddy only reads this data. It never writes to Health Connect.
- It reads only around workouts you logged in the app: the time of the workout or, for a workout you added afterwards, the day it happened.
- The results are stored on your device alongside that workout. They are not sent to us or to anyone else, not used for advertising, and not sold.
- Health data is used only to show you your own workout information in the app.
- You can revoke access at any time in Health Connect's settings. Workout vitals already saved stay in the app until you delete that workout or uninstall the app.
MyGymBuddy's use of information received from Health Connect adheres to the Health Connect Permissions policy, including its Limited Use requirements.
Buying MyGymBuddy Pro
MyGymBuddy is free to download. Pro is an optional one-time purchase made through Google Play. Google processes the payment under Google's privacy policy; we never see your card or payment details.
To confirm a purchase and restore it on a new phone, the app uses RevenueCat, a purchase-verification service. RevenueCat receives the purchase record from Google Play (product, date, purchase token) and a random identifier created by the app. That identifier isn't your name or email, and none of your training or health data is sent. See RevenueCat's privacy policy.
Backups and exports
- Backup files and spreadsheets are created only when you tap Back up or Export. You choose where the file goes (for example, your own Google Drive). What happens to it there is under your control.
- Android device backup: if your phone backs up app data to your Google account, MyGymBuddy's data may be included. That backup is run by Android under your Google account settings, not by MyGymBuddy.
What we don't collect
- No account, email address or sign-in.
- No advertising identifiers or advertising SDKs.
- No analytics or tracking SDKs.
- No location, contacts, photos or microphone access.
If the app crashes, Google Play may collect a crash report under your device's settings and Google's policies. MyGymBuddy adds no crash-reporting service of its own.
Deleting your data
Because your data is on your device, you control it: delete individual workouts in the app, or uninstall the app to remove everything it stored. Health Connect data belongs to Health Connect and is managed there.
Children
MyGymBuddy is not directed at children under 13.
Changes to this policy
If MyGymBuddy's handling of data changes (for example, an optional cloud backup), this page will be updated with a new date before that feature ships, and the change will be described here.
