This policy explains what GYM: Getting You Moving ("the app") collects, why, who else handles it, and how you can see or delete it. I have tried to keep it plain and complete.
GYM: Getting You Moving is made and run by me, William Awere, an independent developer in the United Kingdom. The app is published on the App Store and Google Play under the developer name William Awere. I am the data controller for your personal data.
For any privacy question or request, email me at williamawere@hotmail.com.
I only collect what the features you use need:
| Account & profile | Your email, name, photo, sex, age and fitness level, used to run your account, show your profile to friends and personalise plans. |
| Workouts, cardio, classes & body stats | Exercises, weights, sets, reps, runs, rides, walks, classes, weight and body measurements you log, used to track progress and build plans. If a friend or coach logs a workout for you, it is saved to your account. |
| Steps & health data | With your permission I read steps, workouts and heart rate from Apple Health (iPhone) or Health Connect (Android), used for your step count, games and cardio stats. Health data is never used for advertising. |
| Smartwatch data | If you use the GYM watch app on an Apple Watch or Samsung watch, heart rate, steps and quick logs from the watch are sent to your account. |
| Location & routes | Your GPS route while you record a run, walk or ride in Cardio Log, including in the background when your screen is locked or the app is closed, until you end the session. If you switch on Lost Runs, the app also records a short trail in the background so it can notice runs and walks you forgot to record. While you use the app, your location also finds King of the Road and Safe Routes near you and scores the safety of the area you are in, shows the weather, pollen and air quality where you are, shows hazards reported on The Lookout near you, warns you of phone snatching where you are walking, checks bike theft near where a ride ended (Bike Theft Check) and works out Gym Genie directions and route times. Your live position is shown only to the friends you choose, only during a Merge session or Emergency Beacon you start, and stops when you end it. Hazard reports you make show their spot on the map to other members. Location is never used for advertising. |
| Photos, videos & voice | Progress photos, form-check and profile videos, and voice notes you choose to upload. Form-check videos are private to you and the friend or coach you send them to. |
| Messages & social posts | Direct messages are end-to-end encrypted, so only the people in the chat can read them. Feed posts, comments and reactions are seen by your friends. |
| Injury & wellbeing notes | Injuries, fatigue and notes you enter, used so plans avoid things that could hurt you. |
| Device & notifications | A device identifier and push token, used to keep you signed in on one phone and to send the notifications you have switched on. |
| Crash reports | When the app crashes or something fails, a report with the error, your phone model, app version and your account id and email, so I can find and fix it. |
| PT enquiries & feedback | Messages you send through Personal Training, Feedback or support, so I can reply. |
| Subscribe screen use (anonymous) | Which feature led you to the subscribe screen, which plan you tapped, how it ended and how long you stayed. No name, email or account is attached, only a random number for your phone, so I can see what makes Premium worth it. |
| Anonymised lift data | Exercise, weight lifted, sex and age bracket, used only in aggregate for strength benchmarks. Never linked back to you and never sold. |
I use these services to run the app. Each only gets what it needs for its job:
Some of these are based outside the UK, mainly in the United States. Where that happens, your data is covered by the UK's approved safeguards for international transfers.
I keep your data while you have an account. Some things expire on their own: form-check videos and their voice replies after 30 days, route replay videos after 90 days, feed voice notes after 60 days, and profile photos and videos of accounts not used for a year.
You can permanently delete your account and your data at any time inside the app: Profile, then Delete Account at the bottom. You can also ask me by emailing williamawere@hotmail.com from the email address linked to your account, and I will do it within 30 days and confirm by reply. Step by step: gettingyoumoving.co.uk/delete-account.
You have the right to:
To use any of these, email me at williamawere@hotmail.com or use Feedback in the app. I will reply within 30 days. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
The app is not meant for anyone under 16 and I do not knowingly collect data from children. If you think a child has given me data, contact me and I will delete it.
All data travels encrypted (HTTPS/TLS), direct messages are end-to-end encrypted, and payment card details never reach me. I check the app's security regularly and fix what I find.
If I change this policy in a way that matters, I will tell you in the app. The date at the top shows the latest version.
I aim to comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Premium is an optional auto-renewing subscription. Payments are taken by Apple (iPhone), Google Play, or Stripe (card, for the app from this website). I never see your card details, only whether your plan is active and when it renews.
Plans renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. To cancel, go to Profile and tap Manage Subscription. Apple and Google Play plans open your store's subscription page; for card plans, send me a message there and I will cancel it for you.
For any privacy question or request, email me at williamawere@hotmail.com. You can also use Feedback inside the app.
