Privacy Policy

Effective September 25, 2026

Strevel LLC ("strevel", "we", "us") makes the strevel app for logging workouts, food, and body weight and sharing progress with friends. This policy explains what information the app collects, how it is used and shared, and the choices you have.

The short version: we collect what you put into the app so it can store, sync, and share it the way you choose. strevel is free because it shows ads from Google. Your food, workouts, weight, and posts are never used for ads. Ads are personalized only if you're 18 or older and allow it, and you can pay to remove them. We don't sell your data for money, and we don't use third-party analytics.

1. Information we collect

Account information

• Sign in with Apple. When you sign in, Apple gives us a unique identifier for your account. We don't ask Apple for your name or email address, and we never receive your Apple ID password.

Profile information

• Your username, display name, bio, and profile photo.

Setup and body information

• What you enter during setup and in Settings: sex, age, height, body weight, activity level, goal, target weight, preferred units, and your calorie and macronutrient targets.
• Your sharing preferences (for example, whether your workouts, meals, and weight are visible to friends or only to you).

What you log

• Food: foods you log, amounts, meals, and dates, plus any custom foods you create (including their nutrition values and barcodes).
• Workouts: workouts, exercises, sets, weights, reps, routines, gym setups, custom exercises, and notes.
• Weight: your weigh-ins.

Social activity

• Your friend requests and friendships, and the accounts you block.
• Posts, the photos and captions you add to them, likes, and comments.
• Reports you submit about other users or content.

Information we do not collect

• We do not collect your precise location or your contacts.
• We do not read from or write to Apple Health.
• We do not use third-party analytics tools. The advertising described in section 5 is the only third-party service that collects data in the app for its own purposes.

2. Device permissions

• Camera. Used only to scan food barcodes. Scanning happens on your device; camera images are not stored or sent to us. Only the barcode number is used, and it is saved only if you attach it to a food you create.
• Photos. Only the photos you pick for your profile or a post are uploaded. Photos are re-encoded on your device before upload, which removes embedded metadata such as location.
• Notifications. Meal and weigh-in reminders are scheduled on your device and send nothing to us. To send you notifications about friend requests, likes, comments, and friends' workouts, we store a push token for your device (an address Apple provides for delivering notifications). It's removed when you sign out or turn friend notifications off.
• Tracking. If you're 18 or older, the app may ask whether it can use your device's advertising identifier to personalize ads. See section 5.

3. How we use your information

• To provide the app: storing your logs, syncing them across your devices, and restoring them when you sign in.
• To calculate your targets and trends, such as calorie targets and estimated energy expenditure. These calculations use the information you enter.
• To run the social features: showing your profile, connecting you with friends, and creating posts from your workouts and meals according to your sharing settings.
• To keep the community safe: reviewing reports, enforcing blocks, and acting on content or accounts that break our Terms of Use.
• To respond when you contact us, and to maintain, secure, and fix the service.

We never use your logs, body information, or posts to choose or target ads, and we don't sell your information for money.

4. Purchases

strevel Ad-Free is an optional subscription that removes ads. It's sold and billed by Apple through your Apple Account. We never receive your payment details. Apple tells the app whether your subscription is active, and the app checks that on your device. We don't store your purchase history on our servers. Manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings.

5. Advertising

strevel shows ads served by Google AdMob, in the feed, on the Food and Workout screens, and sometimes after you post. To show and measure ads, Google's software in the app collects information about your device and how you interact with ads, such as your device type and settings, an approximate location derived from your IP address, and which ads you saw or tapped. Google uses this to deliver ads, count views and clicks, and prevent fraud, as described in Google's explanation of how it uses information from apps that use its services.

• What ads never get: we don't send your food, workouts, weight, body information, posts, or anything else you log to Google or any advertiser, and none of it is used to choose ads.
• Personalized ads are for adults who allow them. If you're 18 or older, the app asks once whether it may use your device's advertising identifier. Only if you allow it can Google personalize ads, which may involve tracking your activity across other companies' apps and websites. If you don't allow it, or you're under 18, you get non-personalized ads, which are based on things like the app you're in rather than on a profile of you. Ads are also limited to content suitable for teens.
• Your choices: you can change tracking permission at any time in your iPhone's Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. Where the law gives you further choices about ads (for example in the European Economic Area, the UK, Switzerland, and some US states), the app asks for your consent when required, and you can change your answer later in Settings → Privacy → Privacy choices. You can also turn ads off entirely with strevel Ad-Free, or for a day by watching one video.
• US state privacy laws: some states treat ad personalization as "sharing" or "selling" personal information, even when no money changes hands for the data. You can opt out using the choices above.

6. What other people can see

• Any signed-in strevel user can find you by username and see your username, display name, bio, and profile photo. Profile photos are stored at a public web address, so anyone who has that address can view the image.
• Your friends can see the posts you share with friends, along with their photos, captions, likes, and comments.
• Posts are created from your logs. Depending on your sharing settings, finishing a workout or logging a meal can create a post your friends see. You control this per category (workouts, food, weight) in Settings → Sharing, and per post from its menu. Posts set to "Only me" are visible only to you.
• Blocked users can't see your profile or posts, send you requests, or appear to you.
• Your logs themselves (your full diary, workout history, and weigh-ins) are private to you. Friends see only what appears in shared posts.

7. Service providers

We use a small number of providers to run the app. They process data only on our behalf:

• Supabase hosts our database, sign-in service, and photo storage. Your data is stored on Supabase's servers in the United States (northern Virginia).
• Apple provides Sign in with Apple, delivers notifications, handles subscription payments, and distributes the app through the App Store.
• Google serves the ads in the app through AdMob and collects the advertising data described in section 5 under its own privacy policy.

We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect the safety of our users or the public, or as part of a merger or sale of the business. In a merger or sale, this policy would continue to apply to your information.

8. Data retention and deletion

• We keep your information for as long as your account exists.
• Deleting your account: go to Settings → Account → Delete Account in the app. This permanently deletes your account, profile, logs, posts, comments, likes, friendships, and uploaded photos from our servers, and revokes strevel's access to your Apple sign-in. It can't be undone.
• Data you delete may remain in our backups for a limited time until those backups expire. Reports submitted about content may be kept as long as needed for safety and moderation.
• A copy of your data is also stored on your device. Deleting the app removes it from that device.

9. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information, or to object to certain processing. You can edit most information directly in the app and delete your account at any time. For anything else, email privacy@strevel.app and we will respond within the time required by applicable law. We won't treat you differently for exercising these rights.

10. Security

Data is sent to our servers over encrypted connections. Access rules on our database make your private data readable only by your account. No system is perfectly secure, however, and we can't guarantee absolute security.

11. Children

strevel is not intended for children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country), and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will delete it. Users under 18 are never asked to allow tracking and only receive non-personalized ads.

12. Health information

Information such as your weight, body measurements, and food intake is sensitive. We use it only to provide the app's features to you and to share what you choose to share. strevel is not a medical service, and we are not a healthcare provider.

13. Changes to this policy

If we make material changes, we will update the effective date above and let you know in the app or by other reasonable means before the changes take effect.
