Privacy Policy for RepChime

Last updated: August 9, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how RepChime (the "App") handles information when you use the application. RepChime is provided by Valerii Nikolaev ("we," "us," "our," or the "developer").

RepChime is designed to work primarily on-device. Based on the current implementation of the App, we do not require account creation and we do not intentionally collect personal information such as your name, email address, contacts, or workout data through an in-app registration or profile system.

Information the App Processes

The App may process the following categories of information on your device:

• workout presets, timer values, goals, rounds, ladder settings, and related workout configuration data you create in the App;
• camera input, if you choose to enable front-camera-based exercise counting;
• device motion and sensor data, if you choose to use motion-based exercise counting features;
• sound and speech settings used for countdowns, voice count, and workout cues;
• purchase, subscription, and entitlement status information provided by Apple through StoreKit, such as product identifiers and whether paid access is active.

How the App Uses This Information

The App uses this information to:

• run timers and workout flows;
• count repetitions using on-device motion or camera-assisted features;
• save and restore your presets and settings on your device;
• provide workout sounds, spoken counts, and related in-app assistance;
• unlock, restore, and manage paid RepChime Pro features, including monthly subscriptions, yearly subscriptions, and lifetime purchases.

Camera Access

RepChime may request access to your device camera only for front-camera-based exercise counting. Based on the current implementation of the App, camera access is used for exercise-detection functionality inside the App.

We do not state that camera footage is uploaded to our servers, and the current App implementation appears designed to use camera input locally on-device for workout assistance.

Motion Sensor Access

RepChime uses device motion features such as accelerometer and gyroscope data for motion-based repetition counting. This processing is used to support the App's exercise assistance features.

Data Storage

Workout presets, timer settings, and other related configuration data are stored locally on your device. This helps the App restore your saved presets and preferences between sessions.

Based on the current implementation we reviewed, this data is stored locally rather than being uploaded to a developer-controlled backend.

What the App Does Not Appear to Collect

Based on the current implementation of the App, we do not see evidence that the App intentionally collects or requires:

• account registration data or login credentials;
• contacts, address book data, or photo library data;
• microphone access;
• precise location data;
• advertising SDK tracking;
• third-party analytics or crash-reporting SDKs integrated directly in the current codebase.

Purchases and Subscriptions

If you purchase or subscribe to RepChime Pro, Apple processes the transaction through the App Store. The App may receive StoreKit information needed to determine whether paid access is active, expired, revoked, refunded, in a grace period, or otherwise unavailable. This may include product identifiers, transaction status, renewal status, and entitlement information supplied by Apple.

We do not receive your full payment card number or App Store account password. Subscription management, cancellation, billing, refunds, and payment data are handled by Apple through App Store systems outside the App.

Subscription and Purchase Events

Apple sends the developer an App Store Server Notification when there is activity on a purchase or subscription for the App — for example a trial, a renewal, a cancellation, a billing problem, an expiry, or a refund. This is a server-to-server message from Apple; the App itself does not transmit this information from your device.

These notifications describe the transaction, not your identity. They contain details such as the product identifier, the price and currency, the App Store storefront country, the app build number, relevant dates, how long a subscription has been active, whether the purchase is Family Shared, and a pseudonymous Apple transaction identifier. They do not contain your name, email address, Apple Account, payment card details, device model, or location.

The developer receives these notifications on a serverless endpoint hosted by Cloudflare, which processes them in transit without storing them, and forwards a summary to a private Telegram chat with a bot that only the developer can read. The Apple transaction identifier is truncated before it is forwarded, so the message keeps only enough of it to connect events belonging to the same subscription. This information is used solely for the developer's own purposes, primarily analytics: how many subscriptions start, renew, or end, and the overall health of the App's paid features. It is never used for advertising, never combined with data from other sources, never sold, and never shared with data brokers.

Cloudflare and Telegram act as service providers for this data and may process it outside your country of residence. We share it with them only to the extent described above, and we require that they provide the same or equal protection of user data as set out in this Privacy Policy. We do not authorize them to use it for their own purposes.

These messages are not linked to an account, an email address, or any identifier you could give us. We deliberately do not collect anything that would let us connect them to you — which also means we are not able to locate your records if you ask us to. We will not delete records on the basis of an unverified description, because responding to such a request would itself confirm to whoever asked that a matching purchase exists. Where a controller cannot identify a data subject, data protection law does not require it to collect additional information for the sole purpose of enabling such requests.

We keep these messages only for as long as they are useful for monitoring the App's paid features. Cancelling your subscription in your Apple Account settings stops any further events from being generated.

Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. Based on the current implementation of the App, workout presets and settings appear intended to remain on your device unless you choose to share information yourself outside the App.

Apple and other platform providers may process certain information independently when you download, install, purchase, subscribe to, restore purchases for, or use apps through their services. Their handling of data is governed by their own terms and privacy policies, not this Privacy Policy.

Data Retention

Data stored by the App generally remains on your device until you edit or delete it, clear the App, or uninstall the App.

Your Choices

• You can deny camera permission, but front-camera-based counting features may not work.
• You can choose not to use motion-based counting features.
• You can edit or delete saved presets from within the App.
• You can remove locally stored App data by uninstalling the App from your device.

Children's Privacy

The App is not directed specifically to children under the age required by applicable law to provide valid consent. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the App, please contact us.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updated versions may be posted within the App, on a website, or otherwise made available to users. Your continued use of the App after an updated version is made available indicates your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
