Workout Buddy helps you build training programs with an AI coach and log your workouts. This page explains which data we keep, why, and what you can do with it. In short: we only use your data to run the app, we don't sell it, and we don't show ads.
What we store
- Account: your name, email address and password (stored encrypted, we can't read it).
- Training profile: experience, bodyweight, equipment, injuries or limitations and max lifts, but only what you fill in. All of it is optional.
- Programs and workouts: the programs you create or import, the sets you log, rest times, notes and personal records.
- Settings: language, weight unit, first day of the week and similar preferences.
- AI requests: what was sent to the AI and what came back, so we can show you the result, check costs and fix problems.
Bodyweight and injuries can say something about your health. You only share them if you choose to, and they are used for nothing other than adjusting your program.
Why we use it
- To run your account and show your programs, workouts and progress.
- To let the AI coach build and adjust programs that fit you.
- To send emails you need, like confirming your email address or resetting your password. No newsletters.
- To keep the app secure and working, and to stay within the monthly AI limits.
Who else handles it
- AI: when you use the AI coach, your answers, training profile and the relevant program or workout are sent through OpenRouter to the AI model that does the work. We don't send your name or email address.
- Email: account emails are sent through an email delivery service.
- Fonts: the app loads its font from Bunny Fonts, which sees your IP address but doesn't use cookies or tracking.
- Hosting: the app and its database run on our own server.
We don't use analytics or advertising trackers, and we never sell your data.
Cookies
We only use the cookies the app needs to work: one to keep you logged in and one that protects forms against misuse. No tracking cookies, so there's no cookie banner.
Sharing a program
If you create a share link for a program, anyone with that link can see the program and add a copy to their own account. Your results and history are never shared.
How long we keep it
We keep your data for as long as you have an account. When you delete your account in Settings, your profile, programs, workouts and notes are deleted right away. Records of AI requests are kept for cost and quality checks, but they are no longer linked to you.
Your rights
You can view and change most of your data in the app, export a program as a file and delete your account yourself. You can also email us to see all the data we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, or to object to how we use it. If you think we handle your data incorrectly, you can file a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens).
