Workout Rec – Privacy policy

Last updated: 14 October 2026

Summary

Workout Rec has no server. Everything you enter stays in a spreadsheet in your own Google account and on your phone. The only data sent anywhere else is technical diagnostics (crash reports and similar), with no workout data, no email address and no passwords, and you can turn it off in the app. See Diagnostics.

What the app accesses, and why

When you choose a Google account, the app asks Google for these permissions:

• Your name, email address and profile picture – to show which account is selected in the app.
• Google Drive: only files created by this app (drive.file) – to create, find and rename the app's own spreadsheet workout_rec_database_. The app cannot see any other files in your Drive.
• Google Apps Script: create and deploy projects (script.projects, script.deployments) – to attach the app's automation script to that spreadsheet and publish its "Enable automation" page, which only you can open.

Where your data is stored

• In your Google Drive: the spreadsheet and the script attached to it. You own them and can view, edit or delete them at any time in Google Sheets.
• On your phone: the selected account's email, name and picture link, and the IDs of the spreadsheet and script, so the app can open without asking again. This is removed when you sign out of the app or uninstall it.

Diagnostics

To find and fix problems, the app sends technical diagnostics to Tracer (apptracer.ru), an app-monitoring service by OK.TECH (VK). The developer reads them there. They include:

• Crash and freeze reports: where in the app's code the problem happened, the app version, the phone model and Android version.
• Handled errors, such as a sync that failed, with the app's recent technical log lines (for example "sync: failed: no connection").
• Memory snapshots taken when the app runs out of memory, cleaned of their contents on the phone before sending.
• How much storage the app uses (folder and file sizes, not their contents), when it is unusually large.
• Performance timings of starting the app and syncing.

Diagnostics never include your workouts (exercises, weights, repetitions, dates), your Google account email, name or picture, or any password or access token. No user ID is attached; the service counts installations anonymously. Tracer keeps the data for 90 days.

You can turn diagnostics off at any time: tap your avatar in the app and switch off Send diagnostics. The app then stops sending at once and deletes reports it has not sent yet.

Sharing

The app does not share, sell or transfer your data to anyone. It contains no advertising. Apart from the diagnostics described above, data goes only between your phone and Google's own services.

Google API Services User Data Policy

Workout Rec's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Removing access

You can sign out in the app at any time. To remove the app's access to your Google account, open Google Account → Third-party apps & services and remove Workout Rec and workout_rec_automation. Removing access does not delete your spreadsheet.
