Short version: LiftM8 does not require an account. Workout plans, gym profiles, sessions, check-ins, measurements, notes and progress photos are stored locally on your iPhone. We do not sell your data or use advertising trackers.
1. Who we are
LiftM8 is provided by Valdris Consulting ("Valdris", "we", "us" or "our"). For privacy questions, contact support@valdris.net.
This policy applies to the LiftM8 iPhone app and the LiftM8 pages at valdris.net.
2. Information used inside the app
Depending on the features you use, LiftM8 may process the following information on your device:
- Your training goal, goal focus and experience level.
- Your selected training days, session times and workout reminder preferences.
- The equipment you select for your gym profile.
- Baseline weight and height, optional body measurements and optional progress photos.
- Known lifts, planned workouts, completed sets, weights, repetitions, session effort and notes.
- Check-in cadence, check-in history and locally calculated progress trends.
This information is stored locally using Apple's on-device storage. LiftM8 currently has no user accounts or cloud sync, and Valdris cannot view this information remotely.
3. Public exercise data and network requests
LiftM8 may connect to wger to retrieve public exercise reference information and eligible exercise media. These requests use an explicit exercise mapping and do not include your workout history, body measurements, progress photos, check-ins or notes.
Like any internet service, the receiving server may see standard connection information such as an IP address, request time and device/network metadata. This is handled under the provider's own terms and privacy practices. LiftM8 caches reference content locally and includes an offline fallback library.
4. Support emails
If you contact support@valdris.net, we receive your email address and the information you choose to include. We use this information to respond to your request, investigate problems and maintain the app.
Please do not send progress photos, detailed medical information or other sensitive information by email. Our lawful basis for handling ordinary support correspondence is our legitimate interest in answering users and operating LiftM8. If you ask us to take a specific pre-release action, we may also need the information to take steps at your request.
5. Notifications
LiftM8 uses local iOS notifications for check-in and workout reminders. Your selected reminder day, time and workout schedule stay on your device. You can deny or withdraw notification permission at any time in iOS Settings without losing access to your plan or workouts.
6. Tracking, analytics and advertising
LiftM8 does not include advertising SDKs, cross-app tracking or third-party product analytics. We do not sell or rent personal information. The LiftM8 website does not set advertising cookies.
7. Retention and deletion
On-device information remains until you remove it, delete all personal data from LiftM8 or uninstall the app. The in-app "Delete all personal data" control removes saved plans, gym profiles, workout sessions, check-ins, exercise progression records, exercise-change history and progress photos.
Support correspondence is retained only for as long as reasonably needed to resolve the request, keep an appropriate support record and meet legal obligations. The exact period depends on the nature of the enquiry.
8. Your data-protection rights
Because Valdris does not receive the personal workout data stored inside LiftM8, the most direct way to control that data is through the app's edit and deletion controls. For information we do hold, such as support correspondence, UK data-protection law may give you rights including access, correction, erasure, restriction, objection and portability, depending on the circumstances and lawful basis.
You can make a request by emailing support@valdris.net. You may also complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
9. Children
LiftM8 is not designed for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect support information directly from children under 13. A parent or guardian who contacts us about a child should avoid including unnecessary sensitive information.
10. Security and international access
On-device data is protected by the security controls available on your iPhone. Support email and website infrastructure may involve service providers that process data outside the UK. Where required, we rely on recognised legal safeguards for those transfers. No method of storage or transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when LiftM8's features or data practices change. The latest version will remain available at this URL. Material changes will be reflected in the "last updated" date below.
