Privacy Policy for Ritual7

Last Updated: August 16, 2026

App Name: Ritual7
Developer: William Alston

Introduction

Ritual7 ("we," "our," or "the app") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application.

Information We Collect

Data You Provide

• Workout Data: Your workout history, including dates, times, exercises completed, and duration
• Preferences: Your workout preferences, settings, and customizations
• Fitness Level: Your self-reported fitness level (if provided during onboarding)

Data Collected Automatically

• Usage Data: How you interact with the app, features used, and performance metrics
• Device Information: Device type, operating system version, and app version
• Crash Reports: Information about app crashes and errors (if crash reporting is enabled)

Health Data (Optional)

If you choose to enable HealthKit integration:

• Workout Sessions: Your workout sessions are saved to Apple Health
• Exercise Minutes: Minutes of exercise are recorded
• Active Calories: Estimated calories burned during workouts
• Heart Rate Data: Heart rate information (if available from your device)

Note: HealthKit data is stored and managed by Apple Health, not by our app. We only read/write data with your explicit permission.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

1. Provide App Functionality
   • Track your workout history and progress
   • Calculate statistics, streaks, and achievements
   • Customize workouts based on your preferences
   • Provide personalized insights and recommendations
2. Improve the App
   • Fix bugs and improve performance
   • Develop new features
   • Analyze usage patterns (anonymized)
3. HealthKit Integration (Optional)
   • Save workout data to Apple Health
   • Read health data to provide better calorie estimates
   • Contribute to Activity rings
4. Advertising
   • Ritual7 displays banner advertising supplied by Google AdMob (the Google Mobile Ads SDK). Advertising supports the app's free features.
   • To serve and measure ads, Google may collect your device's advertising identifier (where you have granted permission), your IP address, ad interaction data, and device information. This data flows directly from the SDK to Google; we never see it and receive only aggregate, anonymous revenue reporting.
   • On first launch, iOS asks whether the app may track you (App Tracking Transparency). Choosing "Ask App Not to Track" withholds your advertising identifier and you receive non-personalised ads instead. No feature is restricted either way, and you can change your answer at any time in Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking.
   • In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, a Google User Messaging Platform consent form is shown before personalised ads are served. Google's handling of this data is described in the Google Privacy & Terms.

Data Storage and Security

Local Storage

Most of your data is stored locally on your device. Workout history and preferences are stored in your device's local storage. Data is encrypted using iOS standard encryption.

HealthKit Data

HealthKit data is stored by Apple Health on your device. We do not have access to your HealthKit data beyond what you explicitly grant permission for. You can revoke HealthKit permissions at any time in iOS Settings.

Third-Party Services

The third-party components in Ritual7 are Google AdMob (serves and measures the advertising described above) and Google User Messaging Platform (the consent form for the EEA, UK and Switzerland). Apple HealthKit, when you enable it, is governed by Apple's own privacy terms. We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. Google acts as an independent controller of the advertising data it collects through its SDK, under its own privacy policy. Beyond that, we may share only anonymized, aggregated data that cannot identify you personally.

Your Rights and Choices

HealthKit Permissions

• You can enable or disable HealthKit integration in iOS Settings
• You can revoke HealthKit permissions at any time
• Revoking permissions will stop future data sharing but won't delete existing HealthKit data

Data Deletion

• You can delete individual workout sessions
• You can reset all app data
• Deleting the app will remove all local data

HealthKit Integration

HealthKit integration is completely optional. We only access HealthKit data with your explicit permission. You can revoke HealthKit permissions at any time. We do not store HealthKit data on our servers.

Children's Privacy

Ritual7 is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy and updating the "Last Updated" date.

Your privacy is important to us. We are committed to protecting your personal information and being transparent about our data practices.
