Privacy Policy
In short
Aurochs keeps your training on your iPhone and Apple Watch. There are no accounts, no ads, no analytics and no tracking, and nothing you log is sent to us or to anyone else.
Who we are
Aurochs Fitness is made by Rayn Rosnuk, operating as Loon Softworks, Ontario, Canada. Rayn Rosnuk is also the person responsible for privacy. Contact: support@loonsoftworks.com.
What stays on your devices
Your workouts (with any check-in answers: effort, mood and drinks the day before), routines, your own exercises, body measurements, supplements and progress photos are stored only in Aurochs on your iPhone, and workouts also on your Apple Watch. Progress photos are kept on your iPhone only, with the system's file protection. Workouts move between your iPhone and your Apple Watch directly; they don't pass through any server of ours. We don't run any servers.
Apple Health
If you allow it, Aurochs reads workouts, body weight, heart rate, resting heart rate, heart-rate variability, active energy, protein, calories eaten, sleep and cardio fitness (VO₂ max) from Apple Health, and saves your finished workouts to Apple Health, with the effort from your check-in if you give one. During a workout on Apple Watch, Aurochs measures your heart rate and energy and saves them with the workout. What it reads is used only on your iPhone and Apple Watch, to show it next to your training (Insights and each workout's heart rate); Aurochs doesn't store it, send it anywhere, use it for advertising or share it. You can hide calories in Settings › Apple Health, and change what Aurochs may read or save at any time in the Health app › Sharing › Apps › Aurochs.
Camera and photos
The camera is used only when you take a progress photo, photograph a cardio machine's screen or photograph a training program. The text on a machine screen is read on your iPhone; the photo and the text read from it are kept with that set, on your iPhone only, and are deleted with the set or workout. A program's photos and files are read on your iPhone and aren't kept once its routines are saved. When you pick photos, the system's picker gives Aurochs only the ones you pick, not your library.
Files you import or export
A file you import is read on your iPhone. A file you export goes only where you choose to send or save it.
Purchases
Aurochs Pro is bought through the App Store. Apple takes the payment; we don't see your card or your Apple Account details. Aurochs only asks the App Store, on your device, whether Pro is on for this Apple Account, and tells your Apple Watch the answer. Manage or cancel a subscription in Settings › your name › Subscriptions.
Rest alerts
If you turn on rest alerts, Aurochs asks iOS to show a notification on this iPhone when your rest is up. The alert is scheduled on the device; nothing is sent to us or anyone else.
Backups
If you back up your iPhone with iCloud or a computer, Apple includes the app's data in that backup under Apple's own terms. Aurochs doesn't use iCloud itself.
If you write to us
When you email support, we receive your email address and what you write, and use them only to answer you. We keep the conversation only as long as needed to help, and delete it within two years.
Your choices
You can delete any workout, measurement, supplement or photo in the app. Deleting Aurochs deletes everything it stored on that device. Export everything at any time in Settings › Export. To ask a question about your privacy, or to make a complaint, write to support@loonsoftworks.com.
Children
Aurochs isn't directed at children under 13.
