Privacy
In short: Megin does not collect anything about you. Everything you enter stays on your own phone. The app has no account, no ads and no tracking, and it does not send your data to anyone.
Who is behind the app
Aleks Pawlowicz (Megin), Norway. Privacy questions: [YOUR EMAIL].
What is stored, and where
These details are stored locally in the app on your iPhone, because the app needs them to work:
- Your profile: first name, sex, age, height, weight and training goal.
- Your training plan, workouts, sets and the body weight you log.
- Your food log, calorie target and custom foods.
- Your own exercises and any photos you choose to add.
- Settings such as theme and rest time.
Your data never leaves your phone, and the publisher has no access to it. If you use iCloud Backup, Apple may include the app's data in that backup, as with any other app. You control that in your phone's settings.
Permissions
- Camera and photos: used only when you tap to take or choose a picture, for example of a barcode or for your own exercise. Barcodes are read on the phone and the picture is not sent anywhere.
- Apple Health (optional): only if you turn it on under Profile → Training. Megin then saves your finished workouts to Health (as strength training, with start, end and an estimated calorie burn) and the body weight you log, and reads your latest body weight from Health. Health data stays on your phone and in Apple Health. It is never sent to us or anyone else, never used for advertising, never sold, and Megin does not store it in iCloud. You control access under Settings → Privacy & Security → Health → Megin.
- Notifications: used only to tell you that the rest between two sets is over, or to remind you on your training days. The notifications are created on the phone. You can say no and the app still works.
Purchases (Premium)
If you buy Megin Premium, the purchase is handled by Apple. The app only learns whether your subscription is active. We never see your payment details.
Third parties
The app uses no analytics or advertising services. The only outside service it talks to is Open Food Facts, an open food database: when you scan a barcode that isn't in your own foods yet, the barcode number is sent to Open Food Facts to find the product. Nothing about you is sent with it, and the product is then saved on your phone so the next scan works offline. If you tap a link to a website, it opens in your browser and that website's own rules apply.
Backup and export
Under Profile you can save a backup or export your workouts as a file. The file goes where you choose (Files, iCloud Drive, email, AirDrop). You decide who gets it.
Deletion
Profile → Delete all data removes everything the app has stored. Deleting the app from your phone removes the data as well.
Children
The app is not made for children under 13, and we do not collect information in any case.
Health
Calorie targets, weight advice and strength levels in the app are general guidance, not medical advice. Talk to a doctor if you are ill, pregnant, injured, or have or have had problems with food and weight.
