Information We Collect
We collect only the data necessary to provide and improve our services.
a. Personal Information
Creating an account is required to access the Platform’s core features.
- Name
- Email address
- Date of birth (if provided)
- Account credentials
- Profile details
b. Fitness & Training Data
Providing certain data is optional. However, this may limit some features of the Platform.
Fitness and body-related data may qualify as health data (special category personal data under GDPR).
We process such data only with your explicit consent and solely to provide the Platform’s core functionality.
Apple Health and Health Connect imports require a separate, explicit choice to upload selected data, as explained in Section 19. Reading this policy or granting a device permission alone does not authorize server uploads.
- Workout history
- Exercise logs
- Training performance
- Progress metrics
- Body-related data (if voluntarily provided)
c. Technical & Usage Data
- Device type and model
- Operating system
- App version
- IP address
- Usage activity
- Crash reports
d. Payment Information
Payments are processed by third-party providers (Apple App Store and Google Play).
We do not store full payment card details.
e. User Content & Social Data
We may collect content you choose to upload or share, including:
- Profile images or uploaded photos
- Training-related content and activity
- Social interactions, such as following other users
This data is processed solely to provide platform functionality and social features.
Depending on your settings, certain profile information, uploaded content, and activity may be visible to other users.
You are responsible for the information you choose to share within the Platform.

Apple Health, Health Connect & Server Uploads
Apple Health on iOS and Health Connect on Android are optional integrations. After you select categories, authorize device reads, and separately consent to uploads, Strenova sends the records available to the app to our servers, where they are stored and linked to your Strenova account. This storage is separate from the original data on your device.
Our Apple Health integration is read-only: Strenova reads selected records through Apple’s HealthKit framework and does not create, change, or delete records in Apple Health. Read-only access can still result in copies being uploaded to and retained on Strenova’s servers when you consent to uploads.
You can use Strenova without connecting either health platform. You choose which categories to enable, and sleep-stage uploads require an additional choice. One health provider is selected at a time; changing providers disconnects the previous connection without automatically deleting its uploads.
Data uploaded and its purpose
The Apple Health integration is limited to the categories listed above. It does not import clinical health records, medical documents, blood glucose, reproductive-health data, or workout routes and location coordinates.
We also store record identifiers, source-app identifiers, available device or recording metadata, timestamps, UTC offsets and reporting timezones to identify records, avoid duplicates, apply corrections, and associate heart-rate readings with activity times. Connection data includes your account association, installation and source-store identifiers, category and permission choices, consent version and time, app/device capability information, and synchronization state.
For Apple Health, source metadata identifies the producing app and, when available, a broad device type such as watch or phone. We do not collect device serial numbers through this integration.
Sync diagnostics contain status or error codes, batch identifiers, hashes and record counts for reliable uploads and troubleshooting. Accepted-batch receipts do not store a second copy of the raw upload payload.
When eligible imported weight or resting heart rate is available, your own fitness profile uses it and prevents manual editing of that value. Your manually entered fallback values and manually entered weight history remain stored on Strenova’s servers. Weight history shows the selected integration source when eligible, or your manually entered weight history otherwise, rather than combining both histories. Maximum heart rate remains manually editable.
- Steps: daily totals and coverage information for your activity summaries.
- Sleep: session times and durations for your sleep history and summaries. Apple Health sleep intervals are used to derive sessions and actual time asleep, avoiding double-counting overlapping records. Detailed sleep stages are uploaded only if separately enabled.
- Weight: timestamped measurements for your weight history and automatic fitness-profile weight. Weight is stored in kilograms and can be displayed in kilograms or pounds.
- Exercise: session times, exercise type, and an optional source title for your imported activity history.
- Resting heart rate: timestamped readings for your health history and automatic fitness-profile resting heart rate.
- Heart-rate variability: timestamped RMSSD readings from Health Connect or SDNN readings from Apple Health, labeled by method for your health measurements and trends. These methods are kept distinct.
- Heart rate: timestamped beats-per-minute samples for heart-rate charts during imported activities, including average, peak, and estimated zone summaries when readings are available.
Access and use restrictions
Imported data is used for the health and fitness features described above and the synchronization needed to deliver them. It is not used for advertising, marketing targeting, sale, data brokerage, credit or insurance decisions, or general-purpose AI training.
Our cloud hosting providers process the data on our behalf. Access by staff is limited to specifically authorized personnel for supporting and operating the integration, security, or legal obligations. Administrative access is restricted and audited. We require explicit upload consent that explains this access before health records are sent.
Apple Health records are uploaded over encrypted connections to Strenova’s hosting infrastructure. The backend does not store these records in iCloud or CloudKit. Apple’s storage of your original Apple Health records is separate from Strenova’s server copies.
Apple Health imports and values derived from them are not automatically shared with coaches. The existing Health Connect client-health feature can display weight, resting heart rate, steps and sleep to an active coach. Imported records are not published to followers, public profiles or social feeds, or sent to Strava or AI services. Additional sharing features require their own disclosure and applicable consent.
Disconnecting, retention, and deletion
You can withdraw consent to new uploads by disconnecting Apple Health in Strenova’s integration settings, or stop a selected category by disabling its import. You can also manage Strenova’s device read access in Apple Health or iOS privacy settings. To remove records already uploaded to Strenova, use the integration’s clear-data control or request account deletion; withdrawing read access alone does not remove server copies.
Disconnecting a health provider stops future synchronization but does not delete records already uploaded. Revoking device permissions restricts future reads without automatically erasing earlier uploads. Disabling a category in Strenova stops its new uploads and automatic profile use. Turning off sleep-stage uploads also deletes previously stored stage classifications.
iOS does not disclose whether you denied read access, so an empty Apple Health query cannot establish that records were deleted or permissions revoked. Previously uploaded values may remain visible and read-only in your profile until you disable that category in Strenova, disconnect, switch provider or clear its data. Measurement dates indicate how old those values are.
Uploaded histories remain stored until you clear the integration data or delete your account, subject to source corrections or deletions applied during synchronization. Replacing your connected phone hides the previous source-store history from the integration views but does not erase it from our servers.
Clearing a provider’s integration data deletes its imported measurements, sleep intervals and sessions, stages, activities, heart-rate samples, daily summaries, and batch receipts from our active database across its connected source stores, and disconnects that integration. The other provider’s retained records are not deleted by this action. It preserves your manually entered profile values and manually entered weight history. Minimal connection identifiers, consent information, and synchronization state remain to record the connection and reject stale uploads.
Account deletion removes the health connections, imported records, measurement history, and manual profile weight and heart-rate values from our active database. Neither clearing integration data nor deleting your Strenova account deletes the original Apple Health or Health Connect records on your device. Deleted data may remain in restricted infrastructure backups for up to 90 days, after which those backups expire. Contact support@strenova.app for retention and deletion inquiries.
