SoleGym for Android
Privacy Policy
1. What this policy covers
This policy applies to the SoleGym Android app ("the app"). It explains what information the app stores, where that information lives, and what happens to it. It exists to satisfy Google Play's requirement that every app publish a privacy policy — including apps like this one that collect nothing — and, from version 4.0.0, to explain the one optional in-app purchase (section 5).
2. Information the app stores — on your device only
SoleGym is a training log. To do its job, it saves what you enter into it:
- Training data — workouts, exercises, sets (weight, reps, RPE), session feedback, rest times, templates, training-plan and goal settings.
- Body data — bodyweight and tape measurements you log. Figures such as body fat, lean mass, and energy estimates are calculated on your device from those entries.
- Profile and settings — details you enter (such as height and other inputs used by the body-composition formulas) and your app preferences.
- Pro status — a yes/no record of whether SoleGym Pro is owned or a payment is pending, and which training block was your free trial. See section 5.
All of it is stored in the app's private storage on your device. None of it is transmitted anywhere. The app does not request the Android internet permission, so it is technically incapable of sending data off your phone.
3. What we do not do
- No data is collected by us or sent to us. We have no servers and no way to receive it.
- No accounts, sign-ins, or user identifiers.
- No analytics, crash reporting, tracking, or advertising of any kind.
- No third-party services or SDKs that receive your training or body data. The only third-party component in the app is Google's Play Billing library, which talks to the Google Play app on your phone for the optional Pro purchase and nothing else (section 5).
- No selling or sharing of data — there is nothing to sell or share.
4. Device permissions and features
The app uses a small set of device features. None of them access your personal data or the network:
| Feature | Why the app uses it |
|---|---|
| Notifications | To tell you rest is over when the screen is off. |
| Alarms / reminders | To fire the rest-timer alert on time, even in the background. |
| Vibration | The double-buzz when a rest period ends. |
| Keep screen awake | To stop the screen sleeping during an active session. |
| Google Play billing | To offer, complete and restore the optional SoleGym Pro purchase through the Google Play app. This is Google Play's own billing permission, not internet access. |
5. The optional Pro purchase
SoleGym is free to download. The coaching features are unlocked by a single one-time in-app purchase, SoleGym Pro. It is not a subscription; nothing renews.
Google Play makes the purchase, not the app. SoleGym has no internet access, so it cannot process a payment. When you tap the unlock button, the Google Play app on your phone shows its own purchase sheet, takes the payment, and keeps the purchase record. Your name, email address, payment method and billing address go to Google only; the app never sees them. Google's handling of that information is governed by Google's privacy policy and the Google Play terms, not by this policy.
What Google Play tells the app. Through its billing library, Google Play tells the app whether this Google account owns SoleGym Pro, whether a payment is still pending, and the product's price in your currency so the button can show it. It also hands the app a purchase token, which the app uses once, on the spot, to confirm the purchase back to Google Play as required by Google. The app keeps only a yes/no "Pro owned" / "payment pending" flag on your device. It does not store the token, the order number, or anything about you.
What Google Play tells the developer. Google Play shows the developer, in its developer console, a record of each order — the order number, product, date, amount and country — so that refunds can be processed. It does not show the developer your payment details, and the developer cannot link an order to anything you record in the app, because the app sends nothing.
Free trial. Your first training block runs with Pro unlocked. To make that work the app records, on your device only, which block was the trial. Nothing about the trial leaves your phone.
Restoring and refunds. Pro belongs to the Google account that bought it; on a new phone, "Restore purchase" asks Google Play again and nothing more. Refunds are requested from and decided by Google Play under its refund policy. If one is granted, Google Play reports the product as no longer owned and the app locks Pro on its next launch. Your training data is unaffected either way.
6. Backups
Backups you make. The app can export your data to a backup file, but only when you ask it to. You choose where that file goes. Anything you then do with the file — storing it, moving it, sharing it — is under your control.
Backups your device makes. Depending on your device settings, Android may include app data in device-level backups (for example, Google's Android backup service). That happens outside the app, is controlled by you through your device settings, and is governed by Google's privacy policy — not this one.
Pro status is in neither. The Pro and trial record is kept in a file that is excluded from both the app's own backups and Android's device-level backups. A backup file never carries it, and importing one never changes it.
7. Keeping and deleting your data
Your data stays on your device until you remove it. You can delete individual entries inside the app, wipe everything with Settings → Reset all data, or uninstall the app — which removes all of its stored data, including the local Pro flag. Because there is no account and no copy on any server, deletion is immediate and complete, apart from backup files you created yourself and any device-level backups you control. The purchase record itself is held by Google Play with your Google account, which is why Pro can be restored after a reinstall.
8. A note on health-related data
Bodyweight and body measurements are health-related information. In SoleGym they are treated the same as everything else: stored only on your device, never transmitted, and never seen by the developer. The app does not connect to Health Connect or any other health platform.
9. Security
Because your data never leaves your phone, its security is your device's security. We recommend using a screen lock and device encryption (on by default on modern Android). There is no transmission, so there is nothing to intercept.
10. Children
SoleGym is not directed at children under 13. The app collects no data from anyone, children included.
11. Your rights
Privacy laws such as the GDPR give you rights over personal data that organisations hold about you. We hold none beyond the Google Play order records described in section 5, which Google Play keeps and which you can review in your own Google Play order history. Every other right — access, export, correction, deletion — is something you exercise directly on your own device, using the app's history, backup, and delete controls described above.
12. Changes to this policy
If the app ever changes in a way that affects privacy, we will update this page and change the effective date at the top. The current version always lives at this address. Version 4.0.0 added section 5 (the optional Pro purchase) and the billing row in section 4; nothing else about how the app handles your data changed.
