Privacy
Privacy
An app that asks to watch you exercise in your bedroom owes you a very short, very specific answer about where those frames go.
The short answer
They go nowhere. Camera frames are analysed on your phone, in memory, and discarded. They are not written to your photo library, not saved to disk, not queued for upload, and not sent to any server for processing or review. There is no cloud vision service anywhere in the rep-counting path — and no Wakeletics account or server anywhere else either.
What leaves your device
Nothing, unless you send it yourself. The app has no account, no Wakeletics server, no analytics and no ads.
Only when you choose to
- A share card you send through the iOS share sheet
- A card you save to Photos
- An invite link you send a friend
- An email you write to us
Never leaves your device
- Camera frames, workout video or pose data
- Face data used for selfie effects
- Your selfie, unless you put it on a card and share it
- Alarm times, history, streaks and challenges
- Voice recordings and imported audio
- Location and contacts — the app never asks for either
How we decided this
Local-first, not local-optional
The alarm, the rep counting, your history and your progress work with no network at all. There is no server for them to fail on, and nothing to sign in to.
Permissions asked in context
Camera access is requested when you first need to verify a workout, the microphone only when you record a wake sound, and Photos only — add-only — when you save a card.
Selfies are opt-in and stay put
The selfie camera opens only when you tap Take a selfie in Share Studio. Face effects are drawn on the phone, frame by frame, and the face data is discarded as soon as each frame is drawn. It is never used to recognise who you are.
Share cards are yours to send
A card is rendered on your phone from what you choose to put on it. Nothing is posted automatically; it goes where you send it, and nowhere else.
Deletion means deletion
Settings → Delete all data removes your alarms, history, profile, sounds and the widget summary from the phone. There is no copy anywhere else to forget about.
Why be this specific
Because 'we take your privacy seriously' is what every company says and it means nothing. A camera pointed at you in your bedroom deserves a claim narrow enough to be checked — and narrow enough that we would be caught if it were untrue.
