Privacy Policy
Effective Date: December 2024
1. Introduction
Welcome to CreaTrack! We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you use our mobile application and related services ("App").
By using our App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
2. Information We Collect
We collect the following types of information to provide and improve our services:
a. Personal Data (Optional)
- Name or nickname (if provided)
- Email address (if account registration is supported)
b. Health and Fitness Data
- Creatine intake logs
- Water consumption (if tracked)
- Workout data (optional)
- Weight or body measurements (optional)
b2. Apple Health and Google Health Connect (Optional)
This integration is off by default. It is enabled only if you explicitly turn it on, and you can turn it off at any time in Settings, or revoke access directly in the Apple Health app or Health Connect.
If you connect CreaTrack to Apple Health (iOS) or Health Connect (Android), we access only the following.
Read and written (two-way sync):
- Body weight — read, so your creatine dose and hydration target stay accurate; written when you update your weight in CreaTrack.
- Water intake — read for the current day only, so water you log in other apps counts toward your target; written when you log water in CreaTrack.
Read only (never written or modified):
- Sleep — how long you slept each night, used to show whether recovery is limiting the benefit you get from creatine.
- Workouts — the date and duration of exercise sessions, used to show whether you are training enough for creatine to help. We do not receive the exercises, weights, sets or reps performed — neither platform stores them.
We request no write access to sleep or workout data at all. We do not read any category of health data beyond the four listed above.
How this data is handled:
- Health data obtained from Apple Health or Health Connect is never used for advertising or marketing, and is never shared with advertising networks, data brokers, or analytics providers. It is not sent to Meta/Facebook, and it is not included in any analytics event.
- It is never sold or disclosed to third parties for their own purposes.
- Sleep and workout data is held only on your device and is never uploaded to our servers, including when Cloud Backup is enabled.
- Weight and water values are stored on your device. If — and only if — you separately enable Cloud Backup, they form part of that encrypted backup to our Firebase storage, which is used solely to restore your own data to your own devices.
- Disabling the Health connection stops all reading and writing immediately. Data already recorded in CreaTrack stays in CreaTrack, and data already written to Apple Health or Health Connect stays there until you delete it in those apps.
c. Device Information
- Device type and operating system
- App version
- Crash logs and performance metrics
d. Usage Data
- Feature usage statistics
- Interaction with notifications and reminders
e. Marketing and Analytics Data (With Your Consent)
Note: This data collection is optional and can be controlled through your in-app privacy settings.
- Device advertising identifiers (IDFA on iOS, GAID on Android)
- App install attribution data
- Marketing campaign interaction data
- App usage events for marketing measurement
- Device fingerprinting data
- App activation and launch events
