Terms & Privacy Policy

Effective date: May 2025  ·  Applies to: Android (Google Play) & iOS (App Store)

🔒 Local-First & Privacy Focused
The short version: Crosstrainer is a fully offline, local-first application. We do not require an account, we do not collect your personal health data, and we do not sell or share anything about you. Your data lives on your device and nowhere else.
Section 1

Medical Disclaimer

Crosstrainer is designed for fitness tracking and informational purposes only. It is not intended to provide medical advice or substitute for professional healthcare consultation. Please consult a physician before beginning any new exercise or diet program.

Section 2

Terms of Use

By using Crosstrainer, you agree to these terms. Standard app usage is free, while premium features (such as data backup/restore and advanced stats) require an active subscription managed exclusively through your device's app store (Apple App Store or Google Play Store).

Section 3

Data Collection

Crosstrainer respects your privacy. As a fully offline, local-first application, we do not require you to create an account, nor do we track, collect, or monitor your personal health or exercise data on our servers.

Section 4

Data Storage and Syncing

All of your profile information, workout histories, diet logs, and custom exercises are saved securely and exclusively on your personal device's local database. Your data never leaves your device unless you manually trigger a personal backup. If you choose to back up your data, it is saved securely within your device's isolated offline storage where no direct links or external access are available, ensuring your data remains completely private and protected.

Section 5

Account Deletion

Because no account is created and your data is strictly local, there is no server-side account to delete. If you wish to permanently erase all your data, you can simply uninstall the application or clear its local storage via your device settings.

Section 6

Health Data and Integrations

If you choose to integrate with Apple Health or Google Fit, Crosstrainer will only read or write data as explicitly permitted by you on your device. We do not transmit this data to our servers or use it for any other purpose.

Section 7

Location Data

Crosstrainer may request access to your device's precise location (GPS) solely to power the optional Route Tracker feature, which maps your runs, walks, and sports sessions. Location data is used exclusively to calculate distance, pace, speed, and to draw your route on-screen.

How location data is handled:

  • Location is only accessed when you explicitly start a route tracking session.
  • Background location access is used solely to continue recording your route accurately when your screen is locked during an active session.
  • Your GPS route data is stored locally on your device only and is never transmitted to our servers or shared with third parties.
  • You may deny location permission at any time via your device settings. All other app features remain fully functional without location access.

We do not use location data for advertising, analytics, or any purpose other than the Route Tracker feature described above.

Section 8

Advertising

Crosstrainer displays advertisements provided by Google AdMob. AdMob may collect and use device identifiers (such as your Advertising ID), approximate location, and app usage data to serve ads, including personalized ads. For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), we request your consent before any personalized advertising data is collected, in compliance with GDPR. You can manage your ad preferences at any time via the "Ad Preferences" option in the app's menu. If you choose not to consent, you may still see ads, but they will not be personalized. Premium subscribers enjoy an ad-free experience.

Section 9

Your Rights (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have the following rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): the right to access your personal data; the right to rectification of inaccurate data; the right to erasure of your data; the right to restrict or object to processing; and the right to data portability. You also have the right to withdraw your consent for personalized advertising at any time through the "Ad Preferences" option in the app menu, without affecting the lawfulness of processing prior to withdrawal. Because Crosstrainer is a local-first application, the vast majority of your data resides solely on your device and is not accessible to us. To exercise any of these rights regarding data processed by third-party services (such as AdMob), please contact us at support@crosstrainerapp.com.

Section 10

Analytics and Tracking

We may use third-party services solely to monitor app stability, bugs, and crashes to improve the application. This data is strictly anonymized and is not linked to your personal health information.

Section 11

AI Recommendations and Availability

Any AI-powered recommendations generated by Crosstrainer are for informational and suggestion purposes only. AI features rely on external services and may not always be available or perfectly accurate. You should always use your best judgment and consult a professional before acting on AI suggestions.

Section 12

Age Restrictions

Crosstrainer is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect any data from children.

Section 13

Limitation of Liability

The developer of Crosstrainer shall not be held liable for any injuries, damages, or data loss resulting from the use of this application. Always back up your data locally using your device settings.

Section 14

Updates to Terms

These terms and conditions may be updated over time to reflect changes in our app, services, or legal requirements. We encourage users to attempt to review them on a regular basis to stay informed.
