Privacy Policy

1. Overview

Murph Mate ("the App") is a workout tracking application for the Murph challenge, developed and operated by Joshua McWilliams ("we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains what information the App handles, where it is stored, and how it is used.

We are committed to protecting your privacy. Because the App is designed to work entirely on-device, we have made deliberate architectural choices that mean we never have access to your personal information.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

We do not collect, transmit, or store any of the following:

• Personal identifiers such as name, email address, or phone number
• Device identifiers (IDFA, IDFV, serial number)
• Location data or GPS information
• Health or fitness data beyond what you explicitly choose to save to Apple Health
• Usage analytics, crash reports sent to third-party services, or behavioral telemetry
• Payment or financial information

3. Data Stored Locally on Your Device

The App stores the following data locally on your device only, using iOS's standard UserDefaults storage:

• Workout records — date, total time, rep counts (pull-ups, push-ups, squats), split times, and whether the workout was completed with a vest
• In-progress session state — elapsed time, current phase, and rep progress so the App can resume if closed mid-workout
• App preferences — your vested mode preference and any display settings

This data is stored in the App's private sandbox and is not accessible to other apps. It may be included in your device's iCloud or iTunes backup if you have those features enabled — this is a device-level setting outside our control.

4. Apple HealthKit

Murph Mate may offer an option to save your completed workout to Apple Health (HealthKit). This feature is entirely opt-in and occurs only when you explicitly request it. We do not read health data from HealthKit, and any data written is governed by Apple's HealthKit privacy rules.

HealthKit data written by this App is not shared with advertisers or third-party services.

5. Third-Party Services

The App does not integrate any third-party analytics SDKs, advertising networks, crash-reporting services, or social login providers. There are no trackers of any kind embedded in the App.

The App is distributed via the Apple App Store, which is subject to Apple's own Privacy Policy.

6. Social Sharing

The App can generate a share card image summarizing your workout results. This image is rendered locally on your device and shared through iOS's standard Share Sheet only when you explicitly tap the share button. We do not transmit this image or its contents to any server.

7. Children's Privacy

The App is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. Because the App collects no personal information at all, we believe it is appropriate for general audiences.

8. Data Retention and Deletion

All data is stored solely on your device and under your control. You can delete your workout history at any time within the App. Uninstalling the App from your device will permanently remove all locally stored data. Because we never receive your data, there is nothing for us to delete from our side.

9. Security

Your workout data benefits from iOS's built-in data protection features, including device encryption when your device is locked. Since no data is transmitted to external servers, there is no server-side attack surface.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date at the top of this page. If we make material changes, we will update the App's App Store listing to alert users. Continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
