Privacy Policy

Sweat Poker is a workout app. This policy explains what information the app handles, how it is used, and the choices you have. The short version: your workouts stay on your device unless you publish one to the multiplayer leaderboard. Publishing is always something you choose to do, and this policy spells out exactly what it sends. There is no account, no sign-in, no advertising, and nothing here is sold.

Information the App Records on Your Device

Sweat Poker has no accounts and no sign-in. Unless you publish a workout, everything below is stored on your device only:

• Your workout history — the exercises, cards, reps, duration, and estimated calories for sessions you complete.
• Workout settings — the exercises you have favorited or hidden, your rest and cards-per-set preferences, and your voice readout preference.
• Body details you enter yourself, such as body weight and height, used only to estimate calories.
• Your multiplayer name, which the app generates for you and you can change at any time in Settings.

The app asks for no device permissions. It does not collect precise location, contacts, or health records, and it does not read anything from Apple Health. It does not access your photo library except to let you pick a single photo to publish, described below, which iOS hands to the app directly without asking your permission for the library as a whole.

What Publishing a Workout Sends

The multiplayer leaderboard is the one part of Sweat Poker that talks to a server we run, at nordighund.com. Nothing is sent unless you tap publish, or unless you complete a workout that somebody else published — finishing somebody's challenge posts your time to that challenge's board, which is the point of racing it. When that happens we receive:

• The name you are publishing under.
• Which exercises the workout used, in order, and how many cards each one was dealt.
• The cards you were dealt and how long each one took you.
• The dumbbell weight you entered for each exercise that uses one, if you entered one.
• Your total workout time.
• A post-workout photo, if you choose to add one — this is always optional, and the app resizes it down to a small thumbnail before it ever leaves your device.
• A random identifier the app generates for your device the first time you publish.
• If you turn on notifications, the push token Apple issues to this install.

That device identifier is not your Apple ID, your advertising identifier, or anything Apple assigns. It is a random value the app makes up, and we store only a one-way hash of it. We use it to rate limit publishing and to stop someone who has been removed from the board from immediately returning to it. It lets us tell that two published workouts came from the same device, and nothing more than that — it carries no information about who you are, it is never shown to other players, and it is never included in anything the app downloads.

We do not receive your body weight, your height, your workout history, your settings, or any workout you did not publish.

The Leaderboard Is Public

Published workouts are public by design. Anyone using Sweat Poker can see the name you published under, the workout, the dumbbell weights, your split times, your total time, and your post-workout photo if you added one — and anyone you send a share link to can open that workout's board. Please treat the name you choose, and any photo you add, as public, and pick something you are happy for strangers to see. Your name does not have to be your real name, and we would rather it wasn't; the photo does not have to show your face.

Notifications

Sweat Poker Pro can tell you when somebody takes the top spot on a workout you were leading, or when somebody you sent a link to finishes it. This is off unless you turn it on in Settings, and iOS will ask your permission before the first one is sent.

Turning it on sends us the push token Apple issues to this install of the app, stored against the same hashed device identifier described above. The token is Apple's identifier for a copy of an app on a device — not for you, and not usable to reach you anywhere else. Turning the setting off deletes it rather than only marking it inactive, and deleting the app ends it too.

When you share a workout, the link carries a short code so we know who sent it. That is what lets us tell you — rather than the person who originally published the workout — that your friend finished it. The code identifies the share, not the person: it says nothing about you to anyone who receives the link.

Notifications say who ran the workout, which workout it was, and their time. All of that is already public on the leaderboard. We do not use notifications for marketing, and there is no other kind to opt out of.

How Information Is Used

Information the app records is used only on your device to:

• Run your workout and show your progress through the deck.
• Build your workout history and estimate calories burned.
• Pick exercises for Smart Workouts based on what you have worked recently.
• Remember your preferences between sessions.

Information you publish is used only to:

• Show the workout and its leaderboard to other players.
• Rank the times posted against a workout.
• Rate limit publishing and act on reports of objectionable names.
• Send the notifications described above, if you have asked for them.

We do not sell it, share it with advertisers, or use it to build a profile of you. We do not use it to train machine learning models.

No Tracking, No Analytics, No Ads

Sweat Poker contains no analytics software, no crash reporting, no advertising software, and no third-party SDKs that collect data about you. We do not track you across other apps or websites, and we do not use tracking technologies of any kind. Our server logs ordinary web request information, including IP addresses, as any web server does; those logs are used to keep the service running and are not joined to leaderboard entries.

Subscriptions

Sweat Poker Pro is a yearly subscription sold through Apple's App Store using StoreKit. Apple processes the purchase and handles billing. We never see or receive your payment details — the app only knows whether a Pro entitlement is currently active on your device. Apple's handling of your purchase is governed by Apple's own privacy policy.

Where Your Data Lives

Your workout history is written to a file inside the app's private storage on your device, and your preferences are stored in the app's settings. Neither is sent anywhere.

Workouts you publish are stored on a server we operate and control. Post-workout photos are the one exception: those are stored with Cloudflare, on their R2 object storage, because that is a better place for images than our own server. Cloudflare only stores the file — it has no access to your device identifier, your workout data, or anything else the app sends us.

Because your on-device history lives in the app's storage, it is included in your device backups by default. If you back up to iCloud or to a computer, a copy travels with that backup, which is covered by Apple's privacy policy rather than this one. You can control this in your device's backup settings.

Deleting Your Data

Deleting the app removes your workout history and preferences from your device. That does not remove workouts you have already published, because those live on our server and the app has no way to prove which of them were yours once it is gone.

To have a published workout removed, email [email protected] with the share link for the workout and the name you published under, and we will delete it. We will also remove every entry published under a given name on request. Deleting an entry deletes its photo too, wherever it is stored.

A workout also comes off the board on its own: it stops appearing in "This Week" after 7 days, and everything about it — the workout, every entry on it, and any photos — is deleted automatically 14 days after it was published.

If you have device backups turned on, a copy of your on-device history may remain in those backups until they are replaced or removed through your device's backup settings.

Reporting and Moderation

Names published to the leaderboard are checked automatically against a filter before they are accepted. Any entry on the board — including its photo, if it has one — can also be reported from inside the app, and an entry that enough people report is hidden pending review. We may remove an entry, and may refuse further publishing from the device that posted it, where a name, a photo, or a published workout breaks our terms.

Your Choices

• You can use Sweat Poker without publishing anything. Every workout mode works with the leaderboard untouched.
• You can change the name you publish under at any time in Settings.
• You can turn notifications off in Settings, which deletes the push token.
• You can ask us to delete anything you have published by emailing us.
• You can delete your on-device history by deleting the app.
• You can turn off backups for the app in your device settings.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold, or to object to how it is used. For anything on your device those rights are already satisfied — we hold no copy of it. For anything you have published, email us and we will act on your request.

Children's Privacy

Sweat Poker is not directed to children under 13, and children under 13 should not publish workouts. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has published a workout, email us and we will remove it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. If we make a material change, we will update the effective date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you in the app.
