Privacy Policy

Introduction

Cute Lifts ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you use our mobile application, Cute Lifts (the "App").

This Privacy Policy should be read together with our Terms of Service.

1) Key Concepts and Definitions

"User Content" means the fitness-related content you create or store in the App, including workout logs, custom exercises, templates, measurements, notes, and similar data.

"Service Data" means limited diagnostic, technical, and usage information we may collect and store to operate, secure, and improve the App. Service Data does not include the contents of your workout logs or HealthKit data.

---

2) What the App Does With Your Fitness Data

Your workout data and other User Content are stored:

• Locally on your device; and
• If you enable iCloud, in your personal iCloud/CloudKit account for synchronization across your devices.

We do not host your User Content on our own servers. This means we generally cannot access the contents of your workouts, measurements, or templates stored in your iCloud.
