Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 16, 2026
Gym Companion Coach ("the App") is developed and operated by Snojken AB, a Swedish corporation (reg. no. 556834-4641). This Privacy Policy explains how your information is collected, used, and protected when you use the App.
Information We Collect
The App collects the following information to provide its core functionality:
- Personal Information: Your name, date of birth, sex, height, and weight, which you provide during onboarding to personalize your experience and calculate nutritional targets. Your date of birth is used to derive your age for metabolic rate calculations.
- Health and Fitness Data: Workout details (exercises, sets, reps, weights, duration), heart rate data, active energy burned, body weight entries, and workout records accessed through Apple HealthKit.
- Photos: Meal photos you choose to capture or select from your photo library for meal logging.
- Fitness Goals and Schedule: Your training schedule, fitness goals (cut, bulk, or maintain), and activity level preferences.
How We Use Your Information
All data collected is used solely for app functionality:
- Personalizing your workout and nutrition recommendations
- Calculating daily calorie targets and tracking nutritional intake
- Providing context-aware suggestions based on your schedule and habits
- Displaying workout summaries, statistics, and progress tracking
- Syncing your data between your iPhone and Apple Watch
Data Storage and Sync
Your data is stored locally on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework. To enable syncing between your devices (iPhone and Apple Watch), your data is also stored in your personal iCloud account via Apple's CloudKit service. This data is associated with your Apple ID and is governed by Apple's own privacy policies.
We do not have access to your iCloud data. Our server is used only to relay meal photo analysis requests to OpenAI when you opt in to the AI food recognition feature — no personal data or photos are stored on our server.
Apple HealthKit
The App integrates with Apple HealthKit to read and write health data with your permission. Specifically:
- Read: Body weight, active energy burned, heart rate, and workouts from other apps.
- Write: Completed workouts, dietary calories from logged meals, and body weight entries.
HealthKit data is never used for advertising, marketing, or any purpose other than providing app functionality. HealthKit data is not shared with third parties. You can revoke HealthKit permissions at any time through the Health app on your device.
Third-Party Sharing
We do not share, sell, rent, or trade your personal information with any third parties. The App contains no third-party analytics, advertising SDKs, or tracking tools.
When you opt in to the AI food recognition feature, a compressed meal photo is transmitted to OpenAI via our server for nutritional analysis. No other personal data is shared. See the "AI-Powered Food Recognition" section for details.
When you opt in to the AI Workout Insights feature, anonymized fitness data is transmitted to OpenAI for analysis. No personally identifying information is included. See the "AI Workout Insights" section for details.
Data Tracking
We do not track you across other companies' apps or websites. We do not use your data for advertising or marketing purposes.
Camera and Photo Library
The App requests access to your camera and photo library for the purpose of attaching photos to meal entries and, optionally, analyzing meal photos using AI-powered food recognition. Photos attached to meal entries are stored locally on your device and in your personal iCloud account.
AI-Powered Food Recognition
The App offers an optional AI-powered food recognition feature that estimates nutritional content from meal photos. When you choose to use this feature by tapping the analysis button, the following occurs:
- Data transmitted: A compressed, resized copy of your meal photo is sent to our server, which forwards it to OpenAI's API for analysis. Only the image data is sent — no personal information, account details, or metadata is included.
- Purpose: The image is used solely to identify the food and estimate its nutritional values (calories, protein, fat, carbohydrates, and serving size).
- Third-party processing: The image is processed by OpenAI in accordance with OpenAI's API data usage policies. OpenAI does not use API inputs to train their models.
- No persistent storage: We do not store your photos on our servers. The image is transmitted in real time for analysis and is not retained after the response is returned.
- User control: This feature is entirely optional. You must explicitly tap the analysis button each time. The App will ask for your consent before using AI analysis for the first time. You are never required to use this feature — you can always enter nutritional information manually.
AI Workout Insights
The App offers an optional AI Workout Insights feature that analyzes your training and nutrition data to provide personalized recommendations. This feature is opt-in only — you must explicitly enable it during onboarding or in Settings. You can disable it at any time in Settings, which immediately stops all future data transmission.
When you enable and use this feature, the following data is transmitted to OpenAI for analysis:
- Anonymized profile stats: Age, weight, height, sex, fitness goal (cut, bulk, or maintain), and activity level.
- Training schedule: Your planned workout days, exercises, target sets, reps, and weights.
- Workout sessions: Exercises performed, sets, reps, and weights used.
- Nutrition logs: Macronutrient totals (calories, protein, fat, carbohydrates) and meal timing.
- Body weight trend: Recent body weight entries to contextualize progress.
The following information is never sent:
- Your name or any other personally identifying information.
- Photos of any kind.
- Your Apple ID or any account identifiers.
- Device identifiers or advertising identifiers.
Data transmitted for AI Workout Insights is processed by OpenAI in accordance with OpenAI's API data usage policies. OpenAI does not use API inputs to train their models.
Notifications
With your permission, the App may send local notifications to remind you about workouts and meals based on your habits and schedule. Notification preferences can be changed at any time in your device settings.
Data Retention and Deletion
Your data remains on your device and in your iCloud account for as long as you use the App. To delete your data:
- Delete the App from your device to remove all local data.
- To remove iCloud data, go to Settings > Apple ID > iCloud > Manage Storage and delete the App's data.
- To remove HealthKit data written by the App, use the Health app on your device.
Children's Privacy
The App is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated revision date.
