What this policy covers

This policy describes information handled by the minimal effort iPhone app, this support website, and support email. “minimal effort,” “we,” and “us” refer to the developer who operates them.

Information stored on your iPhone

The app can store:

  • Workout dates, times, names, notes, exercises, sets, weight, repetitions, duration, and distance.
  • Workout plans, planned exercises, schedule state, and completion state.
  • Body weight and body-fat measurements that you enter.
  • Unit, theme, haptic, onboarding, and quick weight-step preferences.
  • Active workout timer and Live Activity state.

The app does not send this diary data to the developer. It does not use HealthKit. Stored data remains until you edit or delete it, delete all app data, or remove the app. An iPhone backup can include app data under your Apple backup settings and Apple’s terms.

Information shown by iOS

When a workout is active, minimal effort can provide the workout name, timer state, current exercise, set count, rest end time, and selected theme to iOS for the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. This information is used for the system activity and is not sent to the developer by the app.
