Privacy Policy
Effective August 13, 2026
The short version: RANKED IRL has no accounts, no ads, no analytics, and no tracking. Your training data lives on your phone. A few optional AI features send exactly what you give them — a meal photo, a typed or spoken food description, a chat message, a single setup frame — to a third-party AI service, each one only after your explicit one-time consent. Your Apple Health data and your camera's live video never leave the device.
Who we are
RANKED IRL is an iOS training and nutrition app operated by an independent developer. Contact for anything in this policy: scalewithjak@gmail.com.
What stays on your device
- Workouts and character progress — sets, reps, runs, rounds, XP, attributes, and streaks are stored in the app's private storage on your phone.
- Body scan (optional) — the guided front-and-side body scan measures neck, waist and hip from the camera on your phone to estimate body fat. The poses are measured in memory on the device. The front-pose photo is kept on your phone as the picture for your results card — it is never uploaded, it leaves your phone only if you share the card, and “Delete all my data” removes it.
- Camera form analysis — the camera analyzes your movement entirely on device using Apple's Vision framework. The live video is never recorded, uploaded, or shared. (The optional SETUP button sends a single still frame — see below.)
- Apple Health data — with your permission, the app reads (such as age, height, weight, heart rate, activity) and writes (nutrition entries, workouts) Health data locally. Health data never leaves your device and is never transmitted to us or anyone else.
- Location — used to show nearby gyms on the map and to measure outdoor runs (speed, distance, pace). Location data stays on your device.
What leaves your device, and when
- Meal photos and nutrition labels (optional, with consent) — if you use photo food scanning, the photo you take is sent to a third-party AI service (OpenRouter) to estimate its nutrition. You are asked for explicit permission before the first upload. No name, account, location, or Health data accompanies the photo. The photo is not stored by us after the estimate returns.
- Setup scan (optional, with consent) — tapping SETUP during a camera-coached set sends a single still frame to the same AI service to read the bar or machine load. The live video feed itself is never uploaded.
- Coach chat and the talk button (optional, with consent) — your message, any photo you choose to attach, and a briefing on your training are sent to the same AI service to generate the coach's reply. That briefing contains the first name you entered, your goal, your rank, streak and attribute scores, your recent verified sessions, your best lifts, your camera form history, which muscle groups you have trained this week, and today’s calorie and protein totals. It does not contain your age, sex, height or body weight — those are withheld, and the coach is told only whether you are an adult, because its answers are age-gated. It never contains data read from Apple Health.
- Voice meal log (optional, with consent) — speech is transcribed on device by Apple's speech recognition; the resulting text is sent to the same AI service to be turned into food entries. Audio never leaves your phone.
- AI Dietitian (optional, with consent) — your remaining calorie and protein targets for the day, plus any dietary notes you typed, are sent to the same AI service to generate meal ideas. If you type health information into those notes — an allergy or a condition — it is sent with them, so leave out anything you would rather not share.
- Barcode and food searches — scanning a barcode queries the Open Food Facts database, then the USDA FoodData Central database, then FatSecret, and — as a last resort to identify an unknown product by name — UPCitemdb. Searching foods by name queries USDA and Open Food Facts. These receive only the barcode number or your search words — nothing about you.
- One consent for all AI features — the first time you use any feature above, the app shows exactly this list and asks once. Decline and nothing is ever sent; every AI call in the app is blocked until you agree.
What we never do
- No accounts — we cannot identify you and hold no profile of you.
- No analytics or telemetry SDKs, no advertising, no tracking across apps, and no sale or sharing of personal information — we have none to sell. No third-party SDKs of any kind are built into the app. Crash and performance diagnostics from Apple's MetricKit are stored on your phone and are never uploaded automatically; they are sent only if you choose to, in Settings → Your data → Diagnostics.
Payments
Subscriptions are processed entirely by Apple through your Apple ID. We never see or store your payment details. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions.
Deleting your data
Settings → Privacy & data → Delete all my data permanently erases the data the app stores — training history, character, food logs, and preferences — and returns the app to a fresh state. Deleting the app does the same. One thing stays behind: a count of how much of each free AI trial this device has used — photo scans, setup scans, coach messages, dietitian plans, assistant questions and voice logs. It holds no personal information, and it exists only so the free trials can't be reset over and over. Health data the app wrote can also be removed in the Apple Health app.
Your rights (GDPR & CCPA)
Because your data is on your device and not on our servers, you exercise access, correction, portability, and erasure directly in the app. We hold no personal data to disclose, correct, or delete on your behalf, and we do not sell or share personal information as defined by the CCPA. EU users may lodge a complaint with their supervisory authority; California users have the right to non-discrimination for exercising privacy rights.
Children
RANKED IRL is not directed at children under 13 and is rated 13+. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
Not medical advice
RANKED IRL is a training and nutrition tracking app, not a medical device. Nothing in the app diagnoses, treats, or prevents any condition. Consult a physician before starting a new training or nutrition program.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at this address with an updated effective date. Material changes will be noted in the app.
