Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 27, 2026
The short version: Tension has no accounts and no servers of its own. Your workout data stays on your device and syncs only through your own private iCloud. There is no analytics, no advertising, and no tracking, and your data is never sold or shared.
Who this policy covers
This policy applies to the Tension app for iPhone and Apple Watch ("Tension", "the app", "we", "us"), published by Kevin Ray. If you have any questions, contact rushers_miler1d@icloud.com.
What data the app handles
Tension stores the workout information you create in the app, including:
- Workouts, exercises, and sets you set up
- Completed sets, including reps and weight
- Your app preferences and settings
- Optionally, your location (only if you grant permission — see below)
- Optionally, workout data read from and written to Apple Health (only if you grant permission — see below)
Where your data lives
Your data is stored locally on your device. If you are signed in to iCloud and have iCloud enabled for Tension, your data also syncs through Apple's iCloud (CloudKit) to your other devices. This uses your own private iCloud database — we do not operate any server that receives, stores, or can access your data, and we cannot see it. Apple's handling of iCloud data is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.
Apple Health
If you grant permission, Tension can save completed workouts to Apple Health and read workout data from it to show alongside your history. This data is used only to provide those in-app features.
Tension does not use Health data for advertising or marketing, does not share it with any third party, and does not use it for any purpose other than the features you see in the app. You can review or revoke Health permissions at any time in the Settings app under Privacy & Security → Health.
Location
If you grant permission, Tension uses your location while you are using the app to suggest a relevant workout based on where you are. Location is used on your device for that feature and is not transmitted to us or to any third party. You can revoke location access at any time in the Settings app.
What we don't do
- No user accounts or sign-in are required.
- No analytics, crash-tracking, or advertising SDKs are included.
- No tracking of you across other apps or websites.
- No selling, renting, or sharing of your personal data.
Data retention and deletion
Because your data is stored on your device and in your own iCloud, you are in control of it. To delete your data, delete the app from your device and remove its data from iCloud (Settings → your name → iCloud → Manage Account Storage). Workouts written to Apple Health can be removed in the Health app.
Children's privacy
Tension is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected here with a new "last updated" date.
