Privacy Policy
1. Who we are
SweatGate ("we," "us," "the app") is developed by SweatGate LLC. This policy explains what information SweatGate collects, why, and how it's handled.
2. The short version
SweatGate blocks a small set of apps you choose until you log a workout that day. To do that, we need to check whether you worked out — we do that using Apple HealthKit or Google Health Connect, the same health-data systems already on your phone. We built this specifically to collect as little as possible: we do not store your raw health data. We only store the outcome of the check — whether today counts as a workout day — never the underlying heart-rate readings, GPS routes, or detailed workout data itself.
3. Information we collect
Health & fitness data (via HealthKit / Health Connect). With your permission, SweatGate reads your workout and heart-rate data on your device to determine whether you've completed a qualifying workout today. This check happens on your device. What we store on our servers is only the result: a yes/no "workout completed" flag for that date, and which method qualified it. We do not store your raw heart-rate readings, workout routes, GPS data, or any other detailed HealthKit/Health Connect data.
Account information. Your email address and a unique account ID, handled through our authentication provider, Supabase.
Bypass purchase records. If you use a paid bypass, the purchase itself is processed by Apple's or Google's in-app payment system via RevenueCat — we do not receive or store your card number or other payment details. We store only the record that a bypass was used and its date.
Usage analytics. We use Mixpanel to understand how the app is used in aggregate. This does not include your health data.
Crash and error data. We use Sentry to catch and fix bugs. Crash reports are not linked to your health data.
Device/app-selection data. Which apps you've chosen to gate is stored so the app can apply and lift the block correctly.
4. What we don't do
- We do not sell your data, to anyone, ever.
- We do not share your health data with advertisers.
- We do not use your health data for anything other than determining whether today's workout requirement is met.
- We do not store raw HealthKit/Health Connect data on our servers — verification happens on-device, and only the outcome is transmitted.
5. Third-party services we use
| Service | Purpose | What it sees |
|---|---|---|
| Supabase | Backend database & authentication | Account email, workout-verification outcomes, bypass records |
| RevenueCat | In-app purchase processing | Purchase/subscription status (not raw payment details) |
| Apple / Google | Payment processing | Your payment method, per their own privacy policies |
| Mixpanel | Product analytics | Anonymized usage events |
| Sentry | Crash/error monitoring | Technical crash reports |
| Apple HealthKit / Google Health Connect | Source of workout & heart-rate data | Data stays on-device; only pass/fail outcome leaves the device |
6. Your choices and rights
- You can revoke HealthKit/Health Connect permissions at any time in your phone's system settings; SweatGate will no longer be able to verify workouts if you do.
- You can request deletion of your account and associated data by contacting us at hello@trysweatgate.com.
- If you're in the EU/UK, you have rights under GDPR (access, correction, deletion, portability). If you're a California resident, you have rights under the CCPA/CPRA. Contact us at the email above to exercise these.
7. Children's privacy
SweatGate is not directed at children under 13 (or the relevant minimum age in your country), and we do not knowingly collect data from children under that age.
8. Data retention
Workout-verification outcomes and bypass records are retained for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, this data is deleted within 30 days.
9. Security
We use industry-standard practices to protect your data, including encryption in transit and Row Level Security at the database level, meaning your data is only ever accessible to your own authenticated account.
10. Changes to this policy
We'll update the "last updated" date above if this policy changes, and notify you in-app of material changes.
