Who we are
The Training app (“the app”) is made by Protoporos Ltd (“we”, “us”), a company registered in England and Wales (company number 12023873). Contact: [email protected].
The short version
- We don’t run servers that receive your data, we have no user accounts, and the app contains no analytics, advertising or tracking.
- The app works on your phone. It talks directly to services you choose to connect (intervals.icu, and optionally Strava, Health Connect and Withings) using your own credentials.
- Health and personal details are stored on your phone, and the sensitive ones are encrypted.
What the app handles, and where it goes
| Data | Where it comes from | Where it goes |
|---|---|---|
| Training plan, activities, wellness (sleep, heart rate, HRV, readiness, weight, blood pressure) | Your intervals.icu account, your watch via Health Connect, devices you connect | Your own intervals.icu account, which you control |
| Recorded rides (power, cadence, heart rate, speed) | Your trainer, power meter and heart-rate sensor over Bluetooth | Your intervals.icu account, and Strava if you connect it |
| Goal and plan settings, rest days | You | A settings note in your intervals.icu account |
| Health conditions you tick | You | Your goal settings in your intervals.icu account, used to shape the plan |
| Date of birth, height, cycle tracking, typed blood-pressure readings, strength weights | You | Stay on your phone. Cycle data is encrypted. Only your cycle phase is shared with intervals.icu, and only if you turn that on |
| API keys and sign-in tokens (intervals.icu, Strava, Withings) | You | Stay on your phone, encrypted with the Android Keystore |
| Location | Your phone’s GPS | Used only while an outdoor session is open, for pace and distance. Only the session’s distance and average pace are saved, to your activity notes |
Permissions
- Bluetooth: to connect heart-rate straps, smart trainers, power meters and treadmills you choose. It is never used to locate you.
- Location: only during an outdoor session (pace and distance).
- Health Connect: read only, for the data types you allow (for example steps, sleep, heart rate, workouts, blood pressure, weight). You can change this at any time in Health Connect.
- Body sensors (watch app): your watch’s heart rate, sent only to your phone during a session.
Third-party services you connect
When you connect them, the app sends data to these services under their own privacy policies:
- intervals.icu: intervals.icu/privacy
- Strava (optional): strava.com/legal/privacy
- Withings (optional): withings.com/privacy-policy
- Health Connect by Google (optional): data stays on your device.
Backups
You can make a backup file of what’s stored only on your phone. It is encrypted with a password you choose, and saved wherever you pick (for example your own Google Drive). We never receive it.
Your rights and deleting data
- We hold no personal data about you on our systems, so there is nothing for us to delete or export.
- Data on your phone: uninstalling the app removes everything the app stored. You can also clear its data in Android settings.
- Data in intervals.icu, Strava or Withings: this is held in your own accounts there, and you can view, export or delete it with those services.
- If you have a question or a complaint, contact us. In the UK you can also contact the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk).
Children
The app is intended for adults (18+).
