Privacy Policy
Effective September 28, 2026. Replaces the July 6, 2026 version.
Hey Spotter ("Spotter") is a workout logging app for iPhone, operated by Blulyne Group LLC ("we", "us"). This policy describes what data Spotter handles and where it goes. The short version: your workout log lives on your phone and in your own iCloud, we keep the minimum needed to run the service, and we don't sell data or run ads.
What stays on your phone and in your iCloud
- Your workout log. Exercises, sets, reps, weights, cardio sessions, programs, machine details, and your chat history with the coach are stored in the app's database on your device.
- Your coach profile and Coach Memory. The optional experience, equipment, and age-range settings, anything you write in "Anything the coach should know," and the facts the coach remembers are stored on the device. You can view and delete remembered facts in Settings → Coach Memory.
- iCloud sync. Spotter syncs that same data to your private iCloud storage through Apple's CloudKit so it comes back when you reinstall or move to a new iPhone. That space belongs to your Apple account. We cannot read it.
- Apple Health data. With your permission, Spotter reads recent workout data (like heart rate and calories) from HealthKit to round out your log. Health data is read-only, used on the device, and never stored on our servers.
- Photos. Photos you take in Spotter are used once to log a workout and are not kept by the app. If you turn on "Save camera photos to Photos," Spotter also saves each new photo to your Photos library. Spotter can add to your library but never reads it.
What we store on our servers
- An account identifier. When you sign in with Apple, we store the anonymous identifier Apple provides. We never receive your password, and we don't require your name or email.
- Usage counters. How many coach messages you've used this month, so the free and Pro limits work.
- Subscription status. Whether you have an active Spotter Pro subscription, verified with Apple. Payment is handled entirely by Apple; we never see your payment details.
What is processed to answer you
When you send the coach a message (text or a photo), that message and the relevant parts of your workout history, profile, and Coach Memory are sent over an encrypted connection to our server, which forwards them to Anthropic's Claude API to generate the reply. This happens only to answer you. We do not log message contents on our server, and Anthropic does not use API traffic to train its models under its commercial terms.
Feedback you send
If you use Settings → Send feedback, what you record or type is sent to us along with basic app and device details (such as the app version) so we can reproduce the problem. We use it only to support you and improve Spotter.
What we don't do
- No ads and no ad tracking.
- No selling or sharing of your data with data brokers.
- No third-party analytics SDKs in the app.
Exporting and deleting your data
Settings → Your data exports your full log as Markdown or CSV. Nothing leaves your phone until you send it somewhere.
Deleting the app removes the data from your device. To remove the synced copy, delete Spotter's data from your iCloud storage in the Settings app (your name → iCloud → Manage Account Storage). To remove your server-side records (identifier, usage counters, subscription status), email us at the address below, or revoke Spotter's Sign in with Apple access in your Apple Account settings.
Children
Spotter is not directed at children under 13.
