Sporticly is a fully offline, account-free app. All your data lives only on your device. We do not operate servers, we do not collect personal information, and we do not sell or share anything about you — ever.
Who We Are
Sporticly is an independent iOS application developed and maintained by an individual developer based in Germany. For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the developer acts as the data controller.

What We Collect
Sporticly does not require an account and does not transmit any data to external servers. All information is created by you, stored locally on your device, and never leaves it.
The app stores the following data exclusively on your device:
- Physical profile — your height and self-assessed endurance level, used solely to personalise workout recommendations
- Workout log — a history of your completed workouts including exercise type, duration, and intensity
- Progress data — streaks, XP, highscores, and total time spent, used to track your progress within the app
- Workout settings — your personal preferences and configurations for training sessions
We do not collect your name, email address, location, device identifiers, usage analytics, or any other personal information. No data is ever transmitted to us or any third party.
How We Use It
The data stored on your device is used solely to operate Sporticly and deliver the features you see in the app:
- Personalising workout difficulty and recommendations based on your endurance level and height
- Displaying your workout history, progress metrics, and achievements
- Maintaining your streaks, XP, and highscores across sessions
- Remembering your workout settings between uses
None of this data is used for advertising, profiling, or any purpose beyond operating the app on your device.
Data Storage & Security
All Sporticly data is stored locally on your iPhone and encrypted by Sporticly itself — in addition to the device-level encryption and security (passcode, Face ID) managed by Apple. This means your personal and fitness data is protected by two independent layers of encryption without ever leaving your device.
Because no data is transmitted to us, there is no server-side risk of a data breach affecting your information.
If you back up your device via iCloud or iTunes, your Sporticly data may be included in that backup. This is controlled entirely by your iOS backup settings, not by Sporticly.
Legal basis for processing (GDPR Art. 6): All on-device data processing is carried out on the basis of legitimate interest — specifically, the necessity of storing your inputs locally in order for the app's features to function. No data is processed beyond what is strictly required to operate the app.
International transfers: Your data never leaves your device and is never transferred to any server, inside or outside the European Union. No international data transfers take place.
In-App Purchases
Sporticly offers optional in-app purchases processed entirely through Apple's App Store (StoreKit). We do not handle, process, or store any payment information. All billing, receipts, and transaction data are managed exclusively by Apple under their Privacy Policy. We only receive a confirmation from Apple that a purchase was made, which is stored on-device to unlock the relevant features.
Your Rights Under GDPR
As a user based in or using Sporticly from the European Union, you have rights under the GDPR. Because all data is stored locally on your device and we hold no personal data on any server, most of these rights can be exercised directly by you within the app or via your iOS settings.
- Access & portability — all your data is on your device and accessible at any time within the app
- Deletion — you can delete all your Sporticly data at any time directly within the app, without needing to uninstall it. Uninstalling the app also permanently removes all associated data
- Correction — you can edit your profile details (height, endurance level) directly in the app's settings
- Objection — since we do not process data remotely, there is no server-side processing to object to
If you have a question about your rights or a privacy concern that the above does not address, contact [email protected]. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority in Germany: the Bundesbeauftragte für den Datenschutz und die Informationsfreiheit (BfDI).
Children's Privacy
Sporticly is suitable for users aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. Since no personal data is collected or transmitted by the app, there is no specific risk to younger users. Parental supervision is nonetheless encouraged for users under 16, in line with GDPR Article 8.
Changes to This Policy
If we update this privacy policy in a material way — for example, if a future version of Sporticly introduces new data practices — we will update the date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify users through the app. Continued use of the app after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
