Privacy Policy

Effective date: 8 September 2026 · Last updated: 8 September 2026

Draft for product/legal review. Written to match current IMPETUS product behaviour for App Store submission; have counsel confirm entity details, retention periods, and jurisdiction before treating as final.

This Privacy Policy explains how IMPETUS (“we”, “us”, “our”), available at impetus-app.com and through the IMPETUS mobile apps, collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you use our strength & conditioning coaching platform.

Contact: hello@impetus-app.com

1. Who the app is for

IMPETUS is a fitness coaching product. A single account may have a coach profile, a client (athlete) profile, or both. Coaches programme and publish training; athletes log sessions and progress. Facility (gym) portals may also be used by authorised gym staff.

2. Information we collect

Depending on how you use IMPETUS, we may collect:

Account details — name, email address, password (stored hashed), and role-related profile data (coach and/or client).
Profile media — optional profile photo (camera or photo library) and coach branding images you upload.
Training & fitness data — programmes, sessions, exercises, sets, weights, reps, timers, readiness, notes, personal bests, and related coaching content you or your coach create.
Check-in / camera use — camera access to scan a gym check-in code; we process the code, not a continuous camera feed.
Push notification tokens — device tokens so we can send workout, coaching, and facility notices you opt into.
Subscription & billing metadata — for coach subscriptions processed by Apple/Google via RevenueCat (product identifiers, entitlement status, renewal/expiry). We do not receive your full payment card number.
Technical data — app version, device/OS information, and server logs needed to operate and secure the service.

3. How we use information

To create and manage your account and deliver coaching features.
To sync programmes, sessions, and progress between coaches, athletes, and (where applicable) facilities.
To send transactional and optional push notifications (session published, facility notices, timer-related alerts, etc.).
To process and verify coach subscriptions and entitlements.
To provide in-app account deletion and support requests.
To maintain security, prevent abuse, and improve reliability.

4. How information is shared

Your coach / athletes / gym — as needed for the coaching relationship (e.g. a coach sees client training data they programme; gym staff see facility-scoped membership data).
Service providers — hosting, email delivery, push notification delivery, and subscription management (including RevenueCat and Apple/Google).
Legal — if required by law or to protect rights and safety.

We do not sell your personal information.

5. Subscriptions (coaches)

Coach write-access may require an auto-renewing subscription purchased through the App Store or Google Play and managed with RevenueCat. Apple or Google handle payment. Deleting your IMPETUS account does not cancel an App Store subscription — cancel in your Apple ID / Google Play subscription settings.

6. Retention & account deletion

You can delete your account in the app under Settings → Delete account (password confirmation required). When you delete, we deactivate the account, remove identifying details such as name and email where applicable, remove your profile photo from storage, and revoke access tokens. If you are a coach, athletes keep their own history and are detached from your roster. Some anonymised or residual records may remain where needed for integrity of shared training history, security, or legal obligations.

7. Children’s privacy

IMPETUS is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

8. Security

We use industry-standard measures appropriate to a hosted SaaS product (including encrypted transport and access controls). No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

9. International processing

Data may be processed on servers in the regions where our hosting and service providers operate. By using IMPETUS you understand your information may be transferred to those locations.

10. Your choices

Update profile and notification preferences in the app.
Revoke camera/photos/notification permissions in device settings.
Delete your account in-app as described above.
Contact us at hello@impetus-app.com for privacy questions or access requests.

11. Not medical advice

IMPETUS provides coaching and training tools. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a qualified professional before starting or changing an exercise programme.

12. Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date above will change when we do. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated policy.
