Privacy Policy
Effective date: 1 November 2026
Summary
Rackside does not collect any data. There is no account, no server, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking. Everything you enter stays on your iPhone unless you choose to send it somewhere.
What Rackside stores, and where
Rackside stores the information you enter in the app’s private storage on your iPhone. That includes:
- Clients: name, mobile number, goals, injuries and limitations, notes, date of birth, occupation, training history, availability, emergency contact and physician details.
- Health screening: answers to the screening questions, conditions, surgeries, medications, family heart history, symptoms, sleep, stress, tobacco and alcohol use, activity level, and whether medical clearance was received.
- Assessments: measurements such as resting heart rate, blood pressure, height, weight, girths, body fat, push-ups and plank time, and movement-assessment observations.
- Waivers: the waiver text sent to each client and the dates it was sent and returned. Rackside does not store signatures.
- Training: exercises, workout templates, scheduled sessions, session notes and every recorded set.
- Settings: your unit and timer preferences and when you last exported.
This data is protected by iOS Data Protection while your iPhone is locked, and Rackside can additionally require Face ID (or your passcode) to open. Rackside also keeps an automatic backup copy on your iPhone before an app update changes how data is stored.
Only when you ask it to:
- Calendar: if you turn on Add to iPhone calendar for a session, Rackside creates a calendar event with the client’s name, the time and the session notes. Your calendar may sync that event to other services you use (for example iCloud or Google).
- Text reminders: Rackside can open a pre-filled text message to a client. You review it and tap Send yourself.
- Reports and waivers: progress reports (PDF or image) and waiver PDFs are shared through the iOS share sheet to wherever you choose.
- Export files: Export all data… creates a file with all of your Rackside data and saves it where you choose (for example iCloud Drive or Files). Keep it somewhere safe — it contains your clients’ information.
- Apple Watch: your iPhone sends the watch only the running timer and the name and length of the next timed exercise. No client information is sent to the watch.
Notifications
Session reminders and timer alerts are local notifications created and delivered on your devices. Nothing is sent to a server.
Permissions
- Calendar: used only to add, update and remove the sessions you choose to put in your calendar. Rackside does not read your other events.
- Face ID: used only to unlock Rackside. Apple handles Face ID; Rackside never sees your face data.
- Notifications: used for session reminders (24 hours and 1 hour before) and timer alerts.
You can change these at any time in the iOS Settings app.
You are responsible for obtaining your clients’ consent to record their information and for handling it in line with the laws and professional rules that apply to you. Rackside is a record-keeping tool. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice; the health screening is not a diagnosis.
Deleting your data
Deleting Rackside from your iPhone deletes all of its data. Export files, shared reports and calendar events you created live outside the app; delete them where you saved them.
Children
Rackside is intended for fitness professionals and is not directed to children.
