Privacy Policy

Effective 5 September 2026 · Last updated 6 November 2026

Who we are

Lyftcircle is a strength-training app. It's currently run by an individual developer rather than a company, based in Singapore. If you have a question about your data, or want to make a request about it, write to hello@lyftcircle.com. It reaches a person, not a queue.

Our postal address is 1 Pearl Bank, Singapore 169016. Our privacy officer, Devyani Gupta, is accountable for how we handle your personal information, and is reachable at hello@lyftcircle.com or that address.

What we collect, and why

To give you an account

An email address, or a Google or Apple sign-in — whichever you choose. If you sign in with Google or Apple we receive your email address and name from them; we don't receive your password or anything else from your account there. You can add a display name, a username and a profile picture.

When you sign up, we ask for your date of birth, so we can check you're old enough to use Lyftcircle. It's private: your Circles never see it, and it isn't used to build your program. If you joined before we asked, the app invites you to add one, but you don't have to; it replaces any age you gave us before.

What you log

Your workouts and the sets inside them — exercise, weight, reps, hold time, distance — plus any routines and programs you build, notes you write on a session, and photos you attach to one.

What you record about your body

Your body weight when you sign up, because the app uses it to set your starting weights and to count bodyweight exercises toward your volume. After that, body weight, waist, body fat, and progress photos, if you use those features. Your sex, if you enter it, because the app uses it to build your program. Beyond your body weight at sign-up, none of this is required — leave it blank and everything else still works.

If you connect a health app

You can connect Lyftcircle to Apple Health or Health Connect. It's optional, and the app works without it. Your phone asks what to share, and Lyftcircle only reads the health and fitness data you allow, such as your steps. It can also save your workouts there. You can turn this off in the app, or take away access in your phone's settings, at any time.

We use this data only to give you features in Lyftcircle. We never sell it, never use it for advertising or marketing, and never send it to our analytics. Your Circle doesn't see it. Your goals, including any the app works out for you, and anything you enter yourself are saved with your account.

Your consent to storing health data

Before you create an account, the app asks you to agree to Lyftcircle storing your health and fitness data to build and adjust your program, and to confirm you understand it isn't medical advice. Until you agree, your set-up answers stay on your phone. We record that you agreed, when, and which version of this policy and the Terms you agreed to. The consent covers the data listed under Consumer health data.

To withdraw that consent, delete your account, under Settings. That erases the data it covers, as described under "Keeping it, and deleting it".

To run the app

A device token so we can send you the notifications you've turned on, and your device's time zone so a reminder set for 7am arrives at 7am where you are. The app also keeps a diagnostic log of what it did — screens opened, settings, record identifiers, never the content of what you log — and if it crashes or something goes wrong, we receive that log, a report describing what went wrong and, in some cases, a short recording of the screen with its text, images and typed input masked. Those reports are configured to exclude personal information.

To understand how the app is used

We record product-usage events — which screens are opened, which features are used, how far someone gets through set-up — tied to your account and to a device identifier, so we can see where the app works and where it doesn't. Those events carry counts and choices (a workout was saved with eight sets, a photo was attached), never the content of what you log: no notes, no measurements, no names, and never your body weight or date of birth, even after you've given the consent above. They include your build version, your device type and, from your network address, your country and city.

We do this on the basis of our legitimate interest in making Lyftcircle work better, rather than asking for consent. If you object, email hello@lyftcircle.com and we'll stop.

On our website

lyftcircle.com uses Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts page views without cookies and without building a profile of you. If you joined our waitlist, we keep the email address you gave us until we've launched and told you about it.

What we don't collect

• No advertising. No advertising identifiers, no advertising trackers, no profiling for ads. The usage events described above are not shared with advertisers or data brokers.
• Nothing from health apps unless you connect one, and then only what you allow.
• No location, no contacts, no calendar, no microphone.

What your Circle can see

This is the part worth reading closely, because it's the whole point of the app.

A Circle is a small private group — up to five people — that you join by invite link. There is no public feed, no discovery, and no way for someone outside your Circles to see anything you log.

When you finish a workout, it's shared with every Circle you're in. Your Circle sees:

• The session's title, and when you trained
• How long it lasted, the total volume lifted, and how many personal records you set
• Each exercise, with the sets you logged — weight, reps, and whether a set was a warm-up or taken to failure
• Any note you wrote on the session, and any photo you attached
• Milestones, like a workout streak or a first session back after a break
• Your display name and profile picture

Total volume is calculated using your body weight for bodyweight and assisted exercises — pull-ups, dips, and so on — so that figure reflects it.

What your Circle never sees: your health app data, your measurements, your goals, your progress photos, your sex, age and date of birth, your routines and programs, your app settings, or your email address. Those aren't hidden by the app — the database itself will not hand them to another member.

Leaving a Circle stops the sharing from that moment on. People who were in the Circle with you keep whatever they could already see.

Who else touches your data

We use a small number of established service providers to run Lyftcircle. They handle data on our instructions, for the purpose we give them, and nothing else:

• A cloud database and storage provider, which hosts your account and everything in it
• An email provider, for account emails like verification and password resets
• Apple and Google, to deliver push notifications to your device
• A crash-and-diagnostics provider, to tell us when the app breaks and what it was doing at the time
• A product-analytics provider, to tell us how the app is used
• An AI model provider, which builds your program from your goal, your experience, how many days a week you train, and the exercises and starting weights the app has already picked, with no name, email or account ID
• A content-delivery and hosting provider for our website and app media

We require each of them to protect your data to the same standard we do. We don't sell your personal information, and we don't share it with advertisers or data brokers, or for cross-context behavioral advertising (what California's law calls "sharing"). We offer no financial incentives in return for it. We'll give you the current list of providers if you ask.

We may also disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect someone's safety.

Where your data is stored

Your account and training data are stored in India. Some of our providers operate from other countries, including Singapore, the European Union and the United States, so your information may be handled there too. So wherever you live, Canada included, your information is transferred to and processed in other countries, where courts and authorities may be able to access it under local law. Wherever it goes, the same protections and commitments in this policy apply.

Keeping it, and deleting it

We keep what you log for as long as your account exists. Nothing expires on its own, because a training history is only useful if it's complete — a session from two years ago is still yours. The record of your consent is kept with your account and deleted with it. Diagnostic reports and usage events are kept by the providers that receive them for a limited period, then deleted.

You can delete your account from inside the app, under Settings. That removes your workouts, measurements, photos, Circle memberships and profile — everything saved with your account, health data included. If you'd rather not use the app to do it, email hello@lyftcircle.com from the address on your account and we'll do it for you.

Deletion is permanent and we cannot undo it. Copies may briefly persist in backups and operational logs before aging out.

Some things reasonably outlive your account: a Circle you created still exists for the people still in it, a custom exercise you added to a shared Circle stays usable there, and workouts Lyftcircle saved to Apple Health or Health Connect stay there, because they belong to your phone's health app. To remove those, open Apple Health or Health Connect, find Lyftcircle among the apps with access, and delete its data.

Notifications

We only send push notifications you've asked for — workout reminders, rest timers, and activity in your Circles. You can turn any of them off in the app, or all of them in your phone's settings. We don't send marketing push notifications.

Age

Lyftcircle is for people aged 16 and over. We ask for your date of birth when you sign up, and we don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 16. If you believe someone under 16 has given us their information, write to hello@lyftcircle.com and we'll delete it.

Security

Your data travels encrypted, it's stored on encrypted infrastructure, and access to it is restricted at the database level rather than only in the app — which is why the guarantees above about what your Circle can't see hold even if something in the app misbehaves.

We don't claim any security certification, and no system is perfect. If you find a security problem, please tell us at hello@lyftcircle.com and we'll take it seriously. If a breach affects your data, we'll tell you without undue delay, and tell the authorities too where the law requires it.

Your rights

Wherever you are, you can ask us to:

• Tell you what personal data we hold about you
• Correct anything that's wrong
• Delete your account and its data
• Send you a copy of what you've logged — or take one yourself: Settings › Export Data gives you your workouts and measurements as CSV files
• Withdraw a permission you gave us — though some of them are what makes the app work
• Stop measuring how you use the app

Write to hello@lyftcircle.com and we'll respond within 30 days. If you're in Singapore, these rights come from the Personal Data Protection Act; in India, from the Digital Personal Data Protection Act; in Canada, from the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act. If you're unhappy with how we've handled a request, you can complain to your local data protection authority — in Canada, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, and in Quebec also the Commission d'accès à l'information.

Consumer health data

Washington's My Health My Data Act, and similar laws in Nevada and Connecticut, ask for a policy on consumer health data — information about your body and health. This section is that policy. It applies to everyone, wherever you live.

What we collect, and where it comes from

• Body weight, waist and body fat
• Progress photos
• Your workouts and the sets in them
• Your date of birth and sex
• Your steps, whether you type them in or let the app read them from Apple Health or Health Connect, and any other health and fitness data you let it read there

It comes from you, and from Apple Health or Health Connect if you connect one. We use it to provide Lyftcircle: to build and adjust your program, show your progress, and share your workouts with your Circles. We also use counts and choices drawn from it, like how many sets a workout had, to understand how the app is used, as described under "To understand how the app is used". Your date of birth is used only to check the age limit.

Who receives it

Only the service providers listed under "Who else touches your data", as processors acting on our instructions to run the app. The people in your Circles see what "What your Circle can see" lists, which includes your workouts. We never sell consumer health data and never use it for advertising. We don't use geofencing — we never draw a virtual boundary around a place to track or message the people in it.

Your rights over it

You can ask to see the consumer health data we hold about you, to have it deleted, or for the list of service providers that have received it, and you can withdraw your consent. Write to hello@lyftcircle.com, or delete your account under Settings, which deletes it and withdraws your consent in one step. We'll respond within 30 days.

If we decline your request, reply to our answer to appeal, and we'll look at it again and tell you what we decided and why. If we deny your appeal, you can contact the Washington State Attorney General, or the attorney general of the state where you live.

Changes to this policy

If we change something that matters, we'll tell you in the app and update the date at the top. A change applies once it's published here; if you don't agree, you can delete your account. New members accept the version that's current when they sign up. Small corrections we'll just make.
