Privacy Policy

Jeema (جيما) was built from the ground up with one rule: your fitness data belongs to you and only you. We designed the app so that it has no technical ability to collect or transmit your personal data — not because of a policy, but because the infrastructure to do so simply does not exist.

There are no accounts, no cloud sync, no analytics, and no third-party SDKs. Everything you log — workouts, health metrics, personal preferences — stays on your iPhone. If you delete the app, it's gone. Full stop.

No Accounts

No sign-up, no email, no identity

No Cloud

Data never leaves your device

No Tracking

Zero analytics, zero advertising

Data We Collect

Jeema collects only the data required to function as a workout tracker. All of it lives exclusively on your device, stored using Apple's SwiftData framework. No server ever receives any of this.

Training data

Workouts, exercises, sets, reps, and weights you log in the app. Stored locally on your device.

Profile preferences

Your fitness goal, experience level, and available equipment. Stored locally — used only to personalise your experience.

HealthKit data

HRV (heart rate variability), resting heart rate, and sleep duration — read from Apple Health with your explicit permission. Jeema also writes completed workouts and active energy burned back to Apple Health. This data is never transmitted or stored outside HealthKit and your device.

Widget state

A small snapshot of your current training programme is shared with the home screen widget via App Groups (on-device shared storage). This data never leaves your iPhone.

Data We Do Not Collect

The following data is never collected, never stored, and never transmitted — by design. There is no server to send it to.

Name, email, or phone number
Location or GPS data
Device identifier or IDFA
IP address or network info
Usage analytics or events
Crash reports or diagnostics
Advertising identifiers
Data shared with third parties

HealthKit & Apple Health

Jeema integrates with HealthKit to give you a more complete picture of your recovery and readiness — and to keep your workout history in one place alongside other health data.

What Jeema reads and writes

Reads: HRV, resting heart rate, and sleep duration — used to calculate a daily readiness score and suggest appropriate training intensity.

Writes: Completed workouts (type, duration, exercises) and active energy burned — so your training is reflected in your Apple Health history.

HealthKit access is entirely optional. You grant permissions through a standard iOS prompt, and you can review or revoke access at any time in Settings > Privacy & Security > Health > Jeema. The app continues to function without HealthKit permissions.

All HealthKit data processing happens on-device. Jeema complies with Apple's HealthKit data usage requirements and does not use health data for advertising, third-party sharing, or any purpose beyond what is described here.

Data Storage

All app data is stored locally on your device using Apple SwiftData, Apple's native persistence framework. SwiftData stores are encrypted by iOS using your device passcode and Face ID / Touch ID.

Jeema does not perform its own cloud backup. If you have iCloud Backup enabled in your iOS Settings, iOS may include app data in your personal encrypted iCloud backup — this is controlled entirely by you and Apple, not by Jeema. We have no access to iCloud backups.

Widget data is shared on-device via App Groups using UserDefaults. This is a standard iOS mechanism for sharing data between an app and its widgets. The data never leaves your iPhone.

Deleting Your Data

You are always in full control of your data. There are two ways to remove it:

In-app: Open Jeema > Settings > Clear All Data. This permanently deletes all workouts, preferences, and cached data stored by the app.
Delete the app: Uninstalling Jeema from your iPhone removes all associated app data. Because everything is local, there is nothing left on any server.

HealthKit data written by Jeema (workouts, energy burned) can be deleted from the Apple Health app at any time, independently of Jeema itself.

Third-Party Services

Jeema uses no third-party services, frameworks, or SDKs of any kind. There are no:

Zero third-party SDKs No analytics (Mixpanel, Amplitude, Firebase), no crash reporting (Crashlytics, Sentry), no ads (AdMob), no social login. The app is built exclusively with Apple's native frameworks.

The only external network call the app makes is to Apple's own systems for standard iOS features (such as App Store receipt validation). No user data is included in these requests.

Children's Privacy

Jeema is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Because Jeema collects no personal information at all — from any user — there is no special risk to children using the app.

If you are a parent or guardian with questions about your child's use of the app, please contact us at the address below.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the date at the top of this page and include a notice in the app on the next launch. Continued use of Jeema after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.

Our core commitment will never change: no data collection, no transmission, no tracking. Any future update to this policy will only ever reflect additional privacy protections, not fewer.
