Privacy policy · Effective 2 October 2026

Your workout data belongs to you.

SelfMate is an account-free workout journal. Your training record stays under your control, and the developer cannot read it.

Who we are

SelfMate is published by Sara Torkamani for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Android and the web. This policy covers all of them.

What you record

SelfMate stores the gym names, workout times, exercise names, weights, repetitions, treadmill duration, distance, speed and incline that you choose to enter.

Where it is stored

The native Apple app stores your journal on iPhone and Apple Watch, synchronizing changes between paired devices with WatchConnectivity. It does not upload workout history to iCloud, and its journal and recovery files are excluded from automatic device backups. Export a JSON copy before uninstalling or replacing a device. Retained older app versions may have created private platform backups; Apple manages any existing cloud copies. The Android app keeps your journal in its private app storage on the device; Android's standard device backup may include it according to your backup settings. Web records remain in browser storage. SelfMate does not operate a workout-data server and the apps do not send your workouts over the network.

No account or tracking

No account is required. SelfMate uses no advertising, no analytics and no tracking SDK. We do not sell workout information or build an advertising profile from it.

Export and sharing

You can export one workout or all completed workouts as CSV or plain text, and the Apple app can also save a JSON backup. An export leaves the app only when you choose a destination in the system share sheet. SelfMate does not receive a copy.

Keeping or removing your data

In the native Apple app, delete a workout from its report to remove it on both paired devices after synchronization. Earlier journal operations and deletion markers remain locally until app storage is removed, so older paired copies cannot restore deleted workouts. JSON backups include that retained change history; CSV/text reports show visible completed sessions. Uninstalling removes local app storage; exported files and any backups created by older versions remain under your control. SelfMate support cannot access or erase your private journal. Deleting a SelfMate session does not delete a separately saved Apple Health workout; manage that in Apple Health.

Optional Apple Health

With your permission, the Watch reads heart rate and active energy during a gym session and saves the workout to Apple Health. Sensor values are not placed in SelfMate journals, exports or paired sync. Denying permission leaves manual logging available. Revoke permissions or delete Health workouts in Apple Health. We do not use health data for advertising, marketing or analytics.

Contact and changes

This policy is effective 2 October 2026. If SelfMate's data practices change, this page will be updated before the change applies. Privacy questions can be sent to yocoolmate+selfmate@gmail.com.
