2. Collecting and Using Your Personal Data
Types of Data Collected
Personal Data
While using Our Service, We may ask You to provide Us with certain personally identifiable information, including but not limited to:
- Email address
- First name and last name
- Date of birth
- Gender
- Health and fitness data (workouts, exercise logs, weight, height, step counts, and similar metrics You voluntarily enter)
- Fitness profile information (experience level, primary fitness goal, available equipment, preferred training days per week, preferred training time, and how You heard about the Application)
- Payment and transaction information (processed through Apple App Store or Google Play; We do not store full payment card details)
Health and Fitness Data
Because Hercules – Gym Tracker is a fitness application, You may voluntarily submit Health Data including workout logs, personal records, body weight, height, exercise history, step counts during outdoor workouts, and outdoor activity route data. The AI feature (see below) may also record injury information that You describe during a conversation, which is stored in Your account and included in future AI prompts to personalize guidance. This data is treated as sensitive personal information and is used solely to provide and improve the Application. We do not sell, rent, or share Health Data with third-party advertisers. Health Data is processed only with Your explicit consent, which may be withdrawn at any time by deleting Your account.
Usage Data
Usage Data is collected automatically when using the Service and may include Your Device IP address, browser type and version, pages visited, time and date of visit, time spent on pages, unique device identifiers, and other diagnostic data. When You access the Service through a mobile device, We may also collect mobile device type, unique device ID, mobile operating system, mobile browser type, device platform (iOS or Android), and application version number.
In-App Analytics
We collect first-party usage analytics within the Application to understand how the Service is used. These analytics are stored in Our own database (hosted by Supabase). They are not sold and are not shared with advertising networks. Analytics events include:
- App opens and sessions
- Which screens and features You view
- Onboarding steps completed
- Notifications delivered to You and notifications You tap
- Views of the subscription (paywall) screen, and which part of the Application led You there
- Subscription purchase attempts and their outcomes
- Share and save actions on recap cards
Each event records the time, Your device platform (iOS or Android), the application version, and a random session identifier. Once You are signed in, events are linked to Your Account. Before You sign up (during onboarding), a limited set of onboarding events is linked to a random installation identifier generated by the Application. Once You sign in, events carry both Your Account identifier and the installation identifier; the installation identifier persists across sign-outs and is not deleted when Your account is deleted.
Analytics events do not include Your name, email address, workout contents, or health measurements.
We use in-app analytics to understand which features are used, improve onboarding, measure which notifications help users keep training, and understand which parts of the Application lead to subscriptions.
Location Information
With Your prior permission, We may collect precise location information (GPS coordinates) to provide certain features of the Application, such as outdoor activity tracking (e.g., running, walking, or cycling route recording). During outdoor workouts, the Application also counts Your steps using the device's motion sensors. The Application may collect location data in the background (when the app is not in the foreground or when Your device screen is locked) to ensure continuous route tracking during outdoor workout sessions that You have actively started. Background location data is collected only while an outdoor tracking session is actively in progress and stops immediately when You end the session. You can enable or disable location access at any time through Your Device settings.
Notification Data
The Application sends notifications only if You grant notification permission in Your Device's operating system. The Application uses two kinds of notifications:
- On-device (local) notifications: scheduled and delivered by Your Device's built-in notification system. These include training-day reminders, weekly-goal check-ins, weekly-goal reached alerts, weekly, monthly, and yearly recaps, milestone alerts, comeback reminders after a period of inactivity, and custom reminders You create.
- Push notifications sent from Our servers: currently, changes in Your rank on Your friends leaderboard (which name the friend who passed You), weekly final standings among Your friends, and alerts that a friend has added You (which include that friend's first name and last initial).
To send push notifications, We collect and store the following on Our servers (hosted by Supabase):
- Push token: when You grant notification permission, the Application registers Your Device's Expo push token and stores it linked to Your Account and Your device platform (iOS or Android). Push tokens are deleted when You sign out of the Application, and when the push service reports that a token is no longer valid.
- Notification preferences: Your master notification switch, Your settings for weekly-goal check-ins, comeback reminders and the three social notification types, and Your Device's time zone (for example, "America/New_York"). We use these so that server-sent notifications respect Your choices and quiet hours (no notifications are sent between 9 PM and 9 AM in Your local time), and so that weekly standings arrive at 10 AM in Your local time. Settings for other notification types (such as training-day reminders and custom reminders, including Your chosen reminder time) are stored only on Your Device.
- Milestone records: which fitness milestones You have reached (for example, "100 workouts logged" or "1,000,000 lbs lifted") and when You reached them. We use these records to avoid sending You the same milestone notification more than once across devices or after reinstalling the Application.
Push notifications are sent through the Expo Push Notification Service (operated by Expo), which forwards them to Apple Push Notification service (for iOS devices) or Firebase Cloud Messaging (for Android devices) for delivery. These providers receive Your push token and the text of the notification being delivered (see Section 3).
You can turn each notification type on or off individually in the Application under Settings > Notifications. You can also disable all notifications from the Application at any time through Your Device settings.
Friends and Social Features
You may connect with other users of the Application through a unique friend code that You can share. When another user enters Your code, both of You become friends immediately; there is no approval step.
Friends can see:
- Your first name and last initial (for example, "Owen R."), or "Hercules Athlete" if You have not set a name.
- Your weekly, monthly, yearly and all-time workout count and total volume lifted.
- Your current workout streak.
- Your rank among Your mutual friends.
Friends cannot see Your specific workouts, exercises, personal records, body stats, email address, or full last name.
Server-sent notifications may reveal limited information to friends, such as that You recently completed a workout (when a rank change notification is sent) or Your first name and last initial (when You add someone as a friend).
There is currently no way to remove a friend or block another user within the Application. Your leaderboard statistics are uploaded to Our servers whenever You are signed in; there is no setting to disable this.
AI Chat Data
If You use the Hercules AI feature (available to Premium subscribers), We collect and store the text messages You send to the AI assistant and the AI-generated responses. This data is stored in Your account to provide chat history and continuity across sessions; only the most recent 50 messages per conversation are retained. We also track AI feature usage (message counts and token usage) to manage service limits and credit balances.
When You use the AI feature, the following information from Your account is included in the prompt sent to the AI provider to personalize responses: Your first name, gender, age (calculated from Your date of birth), height, weight, experience level, fitness goals, available equipment, training schedule, unit preferences, cardio goals, injury information recorded in earlier conversations, and Your most recent workout sessions with full exercise and set details. GPS route data is not included.
AI chat data is associated with Your Account and is subject to the same data protection and retention policies as Your other Personal Data.
AI Feedback Data
When You submit feedback on an AI-generated response (for example, by rating a response with a thumbs up or thumbs down), We collect and store the following:
- The content of the AI message being rated
- Your feedback type (positive or negative)
- An optional issue category (e.g., inaccurate, unhelpful, off-topic)
- Any optional freeform detail You provide
- Session identifier, app version, and device platform
This data is stored in Our database and a notification is sent to Our support team via Resend for quality improvement purposes. The content of the AI message included in Your feedback is retained for quality-improvement purposes even if You later delete the associated chat session. AI feedback data is associated with Your Account and is subject to the same retention policies as Your other Personal Data.
In-App Feedback Data
The Application provides a general feedback feature that allows You to submit freeform comments or suggestions. When You submit feedback, We collect and store:
- The text of Your feedback
- App version and device platform (iOS or Android)
- Your Account identifier (if You are signed in)
This data is stored in Our database and a notification is sent to Our support team via Resend. For AI feedback, the notification may include the full conversation thread for context. Feedback data is used solely to improve the Service and is subject to the same data protection policies as Your other Personal Data.
Website Data Collection
Our Website (hercules-gym.com) collects the following information from visitors, including visitors who do not have an Account:
- iOS Waitlist: If You submit Your email address to be notified when the iOS version of the Application becomes available, Your email is stored in a mailing list managed by Resend. This list is used solely to notify You of the iOS launch and is not shared with third parties. You may request removal by contacting Us at [email protected].

3. Third-Party Services
Database and Authentication Infrastructure – Supabase
We use Supabase as Our primary database and authentication infrastructure provider. Your Account information, Health Data, workout data, AI chat history, and other Personal Data are stored in Supabase's hosted PostgreSQL databases with row-level security policies that isolate each user's data. Supabase processes data on Our behalf as a data processor in accordance with their Privacy Policy and applicable data processing agreements. All data transmitted to and from Supabase is encrypted in transit using TLS/HTTPS.
Email Communications – Resend
We use Resend (resend.com) to deliver transactional and informational emails, as well as internal support notifications. Your email address and related communication data are processed by Resend as a data processor on Our behalf, in accordance with their Privacy Policy. Internal notifications (such as feedback submissions and AI feedback alerts) are sent to Our support team only and are not used for marketing. You may opt out of marketing emails at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email or by contacting Us at [email protected].
In-App Purchases – Apple App Store and Google Play
Hercules – Gym Tracker offers paid subscriptions and in-app purchases through Apple App Store In-App Payments and Google Play In-App Payments. Payments are processed directly by Apple or Google. We do not receive or store Your full payment card information. We receive only limited transaction confirmation data (such as subscription status and transaction ID) necessary to fulfill Your purchase. Your use of these payment services is subject to Apple's and Google's respective privacy policies and terms of service.
Subscription Management – RevenueCat
We use RevenueCat (revenuecat.com) to manage in-app subscriptions, entitlements, and purchase history across platforms. RevenueCat may collect and process certain data including Your device identifier, purchase history, subscription status, and App User ID. RevenueCat acts as a data processor on Our behalf in accordance with their Privacy Policy. RevenueCat does not have access to Your full payment card information.
Authentication – Google Sign-In and Sign in with Apple
You may sign in to the Application using Your Google account or Your Apple ID. When You do so, the authentication provider (Google or Apple) shares Your name and email address with Our authentication infrastructure (Supabase) to create or access Your Account. Apple may provide a private-relay email address instead of Your actual address. We do not receive Your password from either provider. Your use of these sign-in methods is also subject to Google's and Apple's respective privacy policies.
Website Analytics – Google Analytics and Vercel Analytics
Our Website uses Google Analytics (operated by Google LLC) and Vercel Analytics (operated by Vercel Inc.) to collect aggregated information about how visitors use the Website, such as pages visited, time on page, referral source, browser type, and device information. Google Analytics uses cookies to identify returning visitors (see "Tracking Technologies and Cookies" above); Vercel Analytics does not use cookies. Neither service is used within the Application. We use this data to improve the Website. Data collected by Google Analytics is subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
Outdoor Maps – Google Maps (Android)
On Android devices, the Application uses the Google Maps SDK to display maps during outdoor workout sessions. Google receives the map area being viewed. On iOS devices, the Application uses Apple Maps instead.
Exercise Media – WorkoutX
The Application downloads exercise demonstration images from the WorkoutX API (api.workoutxapp.com) to display alongside exercises. Only exercise identifiers are sent; no user data is transmitted to WorkoutX.
Over-the-Air Updates – Expo Updates
The Application checks for over-the-air updates through Expo's update service (u.expo.dev) on each launch. Expo receives the Application's runtime version, platform and Your Device's IP address during this check.
Push Notifications – Expo, Apple Push Notification Service, and Firebase Cloud Messaging
We use the Expo Push Notification Service (expo.dev), operated by Expo, to send push notifications from Our servers to Your Device. Expo receives Your Device's push token and the text of each notification, and forwards the notification to Apple Push Notification service (for iOS devices) or Google's Firebase Cloud Messaging (for Android devices), which deliver it to Your Device. These providers process this data solely to deliver notifications, in accordance with their respective privacy policies. On-device (local) notifications are scheduled on Your Device and are not sent through these services.
AI Feature – OpenRouter and Google Gemini
The Hercules AI feature uses OpenRouter (openrouter.ai) as an API routing service to access large language models, currently Google Gemini, to generate fitness-related responses to Your queries. When You use the AI feature, the text of Your messages, along with relevant contextual information from Your account (such as workout history summaries and fitness goals), is transmitted to OpenRouter and subsequently to the underlying model provider (Google) for processing. These third-party providers process this data solely to generate responses to Your queries and are contractually prohibited from using Your data for their own training purposes or other unrelated purposes. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of OpenRouter and Google for further information on how they handle data.
