Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 6, 2026

GymTea (“the App”) is operated by Gilad Halle (“we,” “our,” or “us”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how it may be shared, and the choices you have regarding your data.

Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect information required to authenticate and manage your account through Firebase Authentication. Depending on the sign-in method you choose, this may include your email address and authentication credentials provided by Google Sign-In, Apple Sign-In, or email/password authentication.

We also use your email address to send account-related messages, including a welcome email and a follow-up check-in about your experience with GymTea.

Workout and Nutrition Data

When you use GymTea, we store the information you choose to record, including:

  • Workouts
  • Exercises
  • Sets and performance data
  • Meals and foods
  • Nutrition information
  • Calories and macronutrients
  • Notes and other fitness-related content

This information is used solely to provide GymTea’s features.

Profile Information

You may choose to provide additional profile information, such as a profile picture, display name, or other optional details. This information is stored securely and can be updated or removed by you at any time.

Health and Fitness Data (Optional)

With your permission, GymTea may access or process health and fitness information, including:

  • Step count

  • Nutrition and food logging data
  • Calorie and macronutrient information

This information may come from data you enter directly into GymTea or from supported platform services such as:

  • Apple Health (iOS)
  • Health Connect (Android)

This data is used only to provide activity tracking, recovery insights, statistics, and other fitness features within the app.

Diagnostic Information

We may collect limited diagnostic information, such as crash reports and app performance data, through Firebase services to improve the reliability, stability, and performance of the app.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • Provide the core functionality of GymTea.
  • Store and synchronize your workouts and fitness data.
  • Authenticate and manage your account.
  • Send account-related welcome and check-in emails.
  • Improve app performance, reliability, and security.
  • Analyze usage patterns to enhance the user experience.
  • Provide optional health, recovery, and activity insights based on data you choose to share.

Data Sharing

GymTea does not sell your personal information.

Your workout, nutrition, and health data is shared with other users only when you explicitly choose to use features that involve sharing, such as trainers, trainees, approved followers, or other collaborative functionality.

You remain in control of these sharing settings and can modify or disable them at any time.

We may also share information when required by applicable law or to protect the security and integrity of the service.

Third-Party Services

GymTea relies on trusted third-party providers, including:

  • Firebase Authentication
  • Firebase Firestore
  • Firebase Storage
  • Firebase Crashlytics
  • Resend (account email delivery)
  • Google Sign-In
  • Apple Sign-In
  • Apple Health (optional)
  • Health Connect (optional)

These providers may process data as necessary to deliver their respective services.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect your information. Data is encrypted during transmission, and sensitive information is stored using secure cloud infrastructure provided by trusted service providers such as Firebase.

While we strive to protect your information, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure.

Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as your account remains active or as necessary to provide the services offered by GymTea.

Account Deletion

You can permanently delete your GymTea account at any time by opening:

Settings → Delete Account

Once confirmed, your account and associated personal data are scheduled for deletion and are typically removed almost immediately. This process is permanent and cannot be undone.

Your Choices

You can:

  • Grant or revoke access to health data through your device settings.
  • Choose whether to share information with trainers, trainees, followers, or other users.
  • Update your profile information at any time.
  • Unsubscribe from follow-up check-in emails using the link in those emails.
  • Permanently delete your account through the app.

Children’s Privacy

GymTea is intended for users aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If we become aware that such information has been collected, we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When significant changes are made, we will update the “Last updated” date above. Continued use of GymTea after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
