Privacy Policy
Last updated July 21, 2026
LiftRing is built privacy-first. There is no account, no login, and no sign-up — and we don't want your email. This policy explains exactly what the app does and doesn't do with your data.
Data the app stores
Only the profile and training data you enter yourself:
- Workouts — exercises, sets, reps, weights, duration, and notes
- Body weight and body measurements you choose to log
- An optional display name and training preferences
This information is stored in a protected local database using Apple's Core Data framework. When iCloud is available for LiftRing, Apple mirrors the database through the private CloudKit database attached to your Apple Account.
What we do NOT collect
- No account, email address, or contact information sent to LiftRing
- No location data
- No cross-app or cross-site activity tracking
- No third-party analytics, advertising, or crash-reporting services
Local storage and private iCloud sync
Your profile, workout history, and body data remain available in a protected local database, so logging works offline. When iCloud is signed in and LiftRing is enabled, Apple automatically mirrors changes through your private CloudKit database for device and reinstall continuity. LiftRing does not operate a fitness-data server and the developer cannot browse your private records. Deleting the app removes its local copy; a private iCloud copy may restore after reinstall. You can manage LiftRing under iOS Settings › your name › iCloud, and export a portable JSON backup from LiftRing Settings. Turning iCloud off or changing Apple Accounts can remove the mirrored local copy, so export first if you want an independent recovery file.
A portable backup can contain workout and body data in a readable file. Save it somewhere you trust; once exported, it is protected by the destination you choose rather than LiftRing's app sandbox.
Apple Health (optional)
With your permission, LiftRing writes your completed workout type and time interval to Apple Health, so your training shows up alongside the rest of your fitness data. We do not read any health data from Apple Health or other apps, and HealthKit data is never used for advertising or shared with third parties.
Deleting your data
Settings includes an Erase All Personal Data action for workouts, body data, custom content, progress, profile details, and preferences. The deletion is saved locally and scheduled to propagate through private CloudKit when iCloud is available. Apple Health records, exported backup files, and Apple purchase history are controlled separately.
Third parties
The only services LiftRing uses for sensitive data are Apple's own: CloudKit for private app-data continuity, HealthKit for optional workout writes, and StoreKit for purchases. Purchases are processed by Apple — we never see your payment details.
Children
LiftRing is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update the date above. Continued use of the app means you accept the current version.
