Privacy Policy
- Your workouts, GPS routes, step counts, weight log and goals are stored on your phone.
- An account is optional. If you sign in with Google, we store your profile and workout summaries (not your routes) on our servers.
- The global leaderboard is opt-in and shows only the public name you choose and your totals.
- We use location only while you record a workout, and to show local weather.
- We do not sell your data, show ads, or use advertising trackers.
- You can delete your account and its data at any time, in the app or on our website.
1. Who we are
Athletiq ("Athletiq", "we", "us") is operated by DevRise Solutions (devrise.solutions). If you have questions about this policy or your data, contact us at hello@devrise.solutions.
2. Information we collect and why
| Information | What it's used for | Where it's kept |
|---|---|---|
| Workouts: GPS route points (latitude, longitude, altitude, speed, time), distance, duration, pace, elevation and estimated calories | Recording and showing your workouts, maps, splits, records, goals and streaks | Your phone. If you sign in, a summary of each workout (activity type, start time, duration, distance, average pace, calories) is also stored on our servers. GPS routes are never uploaded. |
| Profile: name, weight, height, age, sex and unit preference (all optional) | Estimating calories and weight progress, and personalising the app | Your phone; also our servers if you sign in (see section 3) |
| Weight log and goals: dated weigh-ins, goal weight, weekly distance or time goal | Weight progress, charts and goal tracking | Your phone only |
| Daily steps (only if you turn on step counting): daily step totals from your phone's step counter | Showing steps today, your daily step goal and the last 7 days | Your phone only |
| Location: precise location during a workout; approximate location on the home screen | Recording your route; showing current weather and air quality | Saved on your phone as part of the workout; see section 4 for what's shared |
| Account (only if you sign in): your Google account name, email address, profile photo link and a user ID | Identifying your account and restoring your profile | Our servers |
| Leaderboard and events (only if you take part): the public name you choose, whether you've joined the leaderboard, and which events you've joined | Ranking you on the global leaderboard and in events | Our servers |
| Push notification token (only if you sign in): an ID from Firebase Cloud Messaging for this phone, plus your notification settings | Sending the notifications you've switched on, such as when someone passes you on the leaderboard or you complete a challenge | Our servers, until you sign out, delete your account or uninstall the app |
| Crash reports: what went wrong in the app, device model, Android version, app version and an app-installation ID | Finding and fixing bugs | Google Firebase Crashlytics |
Weight, height, age and sex are used only to estimate calories and weight progress inside the app. They are never used for advertising.
3. Optional account
You can use every tracking feature without an account. If you choose Continue with Google, Google confirms your identity and shares your name, email address and profile photo link with us. We create an Athletiq account and store your profile (name, weight, height, age, sex and unit preference) so it can be restored after a reinstall or on a new phone.
When you're signed in, Athletiq also uploads a summary of each workout: activity type, start time, duration, distance, average pace and calories. These count towards the leaderboard and events. GPS routes, step counts and your weight log stay on your phone. Deleting a workout in the app also deletes its summary from your account.
Accounts, profiles and workout summaries are stored with our database provider, Supabase, and protected so that only you can read or change your own data. Other people can never see your email, photo, individual workouts or routes.
Global leaderboard and events
The leaderboard is opt-in. If you join, other Athletiq users can see the public name you choose (not your Google name), your total distance and your number of workouts for the week or month. In events you join, others see your public name and your progress; if you haven't joined the leaderboard, you appear as "Athletiq athlete". You can leave the leaderboard or an event at any time. Workouts with unrealistic speeds or distances are excluded from rankings.
4. Services that receive data
- Open-Meteo (weather and air quality): receives location coordinates, for your current position or the start of a past workout, so we can show weather and air quality. No account details are sent. See the Open-Meteo terms.
- Google Maps: map tiles are loaded from Google to display maps. Google receives standard technical information such as your IP address and the map area shown. See Google's privacy policy.
- Google Sign-In (only if you sign in): see Google's privacy policy.
- Supabase (only if you sign in): stores your account and profile. See Supabase's privacy policy.
- Firebase Cloud Messaging (only if you sign in): delivers push notifications to your phone. Notification text, such as a public leaderboard name, passes through Google to reach you. See Firebase privacy information.
- Firebase Crashlytics: receives crash reports as described above. See Firebase privacy information.
We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information, and we do not share it with advertisers or data brokers. We may disclose information if required by law, or to protect the rights and safety of our users.
When you share a workout card, it's sent through the app you choose, such as a messaging app, under that app's own privacy terms.
5. Location
Athletiq asks for location permission "while using the app" only. It does not request background location.
- During a workout, after you tap Start, Athletiq records precise GPS positions until you tap Stop. It keeps recording when the screen is off, and a notification is shown the whole time.
- On the home screen, Athletiq uses your last known location to show current weather and air quality.
You can turn off location access at any time in Android Settings. Workout recording won't work without it.
6. Other permissions
- Notifications: to show live time and distance while you're recording, and reminders you ask for (such as drinking water after a workout).
- Physical activity (optional): to read your phone's step counter for daily step counts. Athletiq checks the counter every 15 minutes or so, and only saves daily totals, on your phone. You can turn this off in Android Settings at any time.
- Internet: for maps, weather, optional sign-in and crash reports.
7. How long we keep data
- On your phone: until you delete it in the app, clear the app's data or uninstall Athletiq.
- Account, profile, workout summaries and leaderboard/event data: until you delete them or your account. Account deletion is immediate and permanent.
- Crash reports: kept by Firebase Crashlytics for up to 90 days.
If Android backup is on for your device, Android may include Athletiq's on-device data in your personal device backup to your Google account. You can manage this in Android Settings → Google → Backup.
8. Your choices and rights
- View and correct your profile at any time in the app (Profile).
- Delete workouts and weigh-ins individually in the app.
- Delete your account in the app (Profile → Account → Delete account) or on our website.

Depending on where you live, you may have further rights, such as to access, export, or object to how we process your data. To make a request, email hello@devrise.solutions. We'll respond within 30 days.
If you're in India, you can also use this address to raise a grievance about how we handle your personal data under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
9. Security
Data sent between the app and our services is encrypted in transit (HTTPS). Account data is protected by access rules so that each user can access only their own profile. No system is completely secure, but we work to protect your information and limit what we collect.
10. Children
Athletiq is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.
11. Health information disclaimer
Calories, weight-loss estimates and other figures in Athletiq are estimates for general fitness purposes, not medical advice. See our Terms and Conditions.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the app changes. We will change the effective date above, and for significant changes we will let you know in the app before they take effect.
