Legal Notice & Privacy Policy

Legal Notice

According to § 5 TMG and § 18 MStV (Germany)

Disclaimer

This website presents the app "VigiGym". It is a non-commercial informational site, without ads, newsletters, or social features.

Copyright

All content – especially text, images, videos, and icons – is owned by Achim Loobes. Use or reproduction requires explicit permission.

Privacy Policy (Website)

We collect as little data as possible. This site uses:

• No cookies
• No tracking
• No analytics tools
• No newsletter
• No contact form

Controller

Server Logfiles

Your browser automatically sends technical data (e.g., IP address, time, browser type) when you visit this site. This is only processed to maintain technical operation.

External Services

No use of Google Analytics, Google Fonts, YouTube, or other embedded services. The Apple App Store is linked without tracking parameters.

Privacy Policy (App)

Effective Date: August 20, 2025

Information We Collect

• User-provided data: Information you enter in the app, such as workout routines, weights, reps, or sets.
• Device information: Non-personal data such as device model, operating system, and app version — processed anonymously by TelemetryDeck (see Analytics section below).
• No sensitive data: We do not collect personal identifiers such as your name, email, or contact details unless voluntarily provided.

Data Storage

• Your training data is stored locally on your iPhone or Apple Watch. If you enable iCloud Sync (off by default), routines, workouts, and history are additionally synchronized via Apple CloudKit to your private iCloud account. See the iCloud Sync section below for details.
• We do not transfer or share your workout data with third parties.
• Only subscription status and purchase info are handled via Apple's App Store infrastructure.

iCloud Sync (Optional)

VigiGym offers optional iCloud synchronization across your Apple devices. This feature is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled in Settings → iCloud Sync.

When enabled:

• Your workout routines, workout configurations, individual sets, and workout history are synchronized via Apple CloudKit
• Data is stored exclusively in your private iCloud database — only the Apple ID signed in on your device can access it
• VigiGym as the app developer has no access to your synchronized data

Data that is never synchronized to iCloud, even when iCloud Sync is enabled:

• Heart rate data (remains local on the device that recorded it)
• Widget state
• Apple Watch workout data (remains on the Watch; synced to iPhone via direct device-to-device connection, not via iCloud)

You can disable iCloud Sync at any time in Settings. Disabling stops further synchronization but does not delete data already present in your iCloud account.

Apple Health & HealthKit

VigiGym integrates with Apple Health via HealthKit to provide heart rate tracking during workouts and to record completed training sessions in your Health app. This integration is optional and requires your explicit permission the first time you start a workout with an Apple Watch paired.

Data we READ from Apple Health:

• Heart rate samples during active workout sessions

Data we WRITE to Apple Health:

• Workout sessions (type: functional strength training), including start time, end time, and duration

HealthKit data is processed exclusively on your device. It is never transmitted to our servers, analytics providers, or any third party. We do not use HealthKit data for advertising, marketing, or data-mining purposes, and we do not sell HealthKit data to anyone.

You can revoke VigiGym's access to HealthKit at any time via Settings → Privacy & Security → Health → VigiGym on your iPhone. Revoking access does not delete your existing workout history within VigiGym — that data remains on your device or in your iCloud account as configured.

Third-Party Services

Apple StoreKit is used for handling subscriptions and in-app purchases. We do not integrate advertising networks or invasive third-party analytics.

Analytics (App)

Starting with v3.1, VigiGym uses TelemetryDeck for anonymous app usage analytics. TelemetryDeck does not collect personally identifiable information, does not store IP addresses, and does not use cookies. All user identifiers are anonymized before transmission, in compliance with GDPR.

Collected data includes:

• Anonymous app events (e.g., when the paywall is shown, which plan is selected, and similar usage interactions)
• Device metadata (model, OS version, app version)

Not collected: your workout data, your name, email, or IP address.

TelemetryDeck servers are hosted in the EU (Germany and Netherlands). Details: telemetrydeck.com/privacy.

Your Rights

• You can delete your workout data at any time directly in the app.
• If you uninstall the app, all locally stored data is removed from your device.

Your Rights under GDPR

• Access, correction, deletion
• Objection to processing
• Data portability
• Complaint to a data protection authority
