Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Workouts Journal, operated by Aleksi Koskinen, collects, uses, stores and protects information when you use the Workouts Journal mobile application and related services.

Information we process

Account and authentication information

• Username and a securely hashed password when you create a password-based account.
• Google or Apple account identifier when you choose social sign-in.
• Authentication tokens used to keep you signed in. Passwords are never stored in readable form.

Profile and preference information

• Date of birth, height, weight and gender when provided.
• Preferred distance and weight units.

Workout and location information

• Precise location and route coordinates while workout tracking is active, including while the app is in the background.
• Workout type, date and time, city, route, distance, duration, average speed, estimated energy use and experience points.
• Challenge progress, level and leaderboard information associated with your account.

Device permissions and local information

The app may request foreground location, background location and notification permissions. Session details, an active workout and challenge timing may also be stored securely or locally on your device so that the app can continue correctly after being placed in the background or reopened.

How we use information

• To create and secure your account and provide sign-in.
• To display your position on a map and record a workout route.
• To save and synchronize workout history, profile settings and preferences.
• To calculate workout statistics, estimated energy use, experience points, levels and challenge progress.
• To provide leaderboards and operate the service securely.
• To show an ongoing workout notification while background tracking is active.

Services provided by other companies

Workouts Journal relies on service providers only where needed to deliver app functionality:

• Google Sign-In and Google OAuth for optional Google authentication.
• Sign in with Apple for optional Apple authentication on iOS.
• Google Maps on Android and Apple Maps on iOS for maps and route display.
• Hosting and database providers used to operate the Workouts Journal API and website.

These providers may process technical information according to their own privacy policies. Workouts Journal does not sell personal information and does not use personal information for third-party advertising.

Legal basis and your choices

Information is processed to provide the service you request, based on your consent for device permissions, and where necessary for service security and legitimate operational needs. You can deny or revoke location and notification permissions in your device settings, but workout tracking—especially background route tracking—may then be unavailable or incomplete.

Retention and deletion

Account, profile, workout and progress information is retained while your account remains active. You may request deletion at any time. A verified deletion removes the account and associated active-service data, including saved routes, workouts, settings, experience and challenges. Requests are normally completed within 30 days. Limited records may be retained only where required for security, dispute resolution or legal compliance.

See the Account Deletion page for instructions.

Security and international processing

We use HTTPS, access controls, token-based authentication and password hashing to protect information. No online service can guarantee absolute security. Service providers may process information in countries outside your own, subject to the safeguards and terms available from those providers.

Children

Workouts Journal is not directed to children under 13. If you believe that a child has provided personal information without appropriate permission, contact us so that the information can be removed.

Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, export, restrict or delete your personal information, and to withdraw consent. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below.
