Privacy Policy

Effective May 26, 2026

Notch ("the app") is a personal fitness planner. This policy explains what the app does with your data and what we, the developer, can and cannot see.

The short version

• We do not run any servers. We do not collect, store, or transmit your data.
• All your information lives on your device and — if you have iCloud enabled — in your own private iCloud database, which Apple end-to-end encrypts. We have no ability to read it.
• There are no third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs in the app.
• The app only reads health and calendar data after you grant explicit permission. It uses that data on-device to help you plan workouts and never sends it anywhere we control.

What the app reads (with your permission)

Apple Health. With your permission, Notch reads — but does not write — workouts, calories burned, sleep, heart-rate variability, and resting heart rate to compute your weekly progress, your training load, and your Freshness score. Health data is read on-device and is not transmitted to anyone other than Apple's own iCloud (if you have Health iCloud sync enabled).

Apple Calendar. With your permission, Notch reads your calendars to find open time for workouts, and writes the workouts you schedule as events to a calendar you choose. The app respects your "Check for conflicts" selection in Settings — it only reads calendars you've opted in to.

Notifications. If you enable notifications, Notch schedules local reminders for upcoming workouts. These are delivered by your device; nothing leaves the device.

What the app stores

Your plan, profile, goal, weekly composition, completed workouts, time windows, and similar information are stored in SwiftData on your device. If you have iCloud Drive / iCloud sign-in enabled, this data is also kept in your private iCloud database, which is encrypted and accessible only to you across your Apple devices. We do not have a copy of this data and cannot see it.

What we do not do

• We do not have user accounts, sign-ups, or passwords.
• We do not run a backend server.
• We do not use any third-party analytics, crash reporters, or advertising SDKs.
• We do not sell or share your data — we have none to sell.
• We do not profile you for targeted advertising.

Your choices and rights

• Disable a permission. You can revoke Health or Calendar access at any time from iOS Settings → Privacy.
• Delete your data. Settings → "Reset all data" removes everything the app has stored locally. Uninstalling the app deletes the local store; iCloud-synced data is removed when you delete the app from all your signed-in devices, or by signing out of iCloud.
• Withdraw notifications. Disable in iOS Settings → Notifications.

Children

The app is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect data from them.

Changes

If this policy ever changes, we'll update this document and note the effective date above. Material changes will be surfaced in-app.
