Train531 Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 10, 2026

Train531 (“the App”) is developed by Aaron Hampton. Train531 is available as an iOS app and as a web app at app.train531.com. This privacy policy explains how the App collects, uses, and protects your information.

Information We Collect

Account Information

Train531 uses an account to sync your training data across devices. You can sign in with Google, with Apple, or with an email address and password. We collect and store:

  • Your email address (from the sign-in provider you choose)
  • Your display name, if your sign-in provider shares it

Authentication is handled by Google Firebase Authentication.

Training Data

The App stores your workout data on your device and syncs it to your account, including:

  • Exercise names, sets, reps, and weights
  • Personal records and training maxes
  • Workout session dates and durations
  • Profile information (name, experience level, goals, available equipment)

Synced training data is stored in Google Firebase (Firestore) in a private, per-account space. Access is restricted by security rules so only you can read or write your data.

AI Coaching

When the App generates workout prescriptions or analyzes your progress, a summary of your recent training history is sent to our API server. This summary includes:

  • Recent workout sessions (exercises, sets, reps, weights)
  • Your training maxes and experience level
  • Available equipment

This data is forwarded to Anthropic’s Claude API to generate personalized coaching responses. AI requests are processed in real time; we do not use your training data to train AI models.

Device Information

On iOS, the App uses Apple’s App Attest to verify that AI requests come from a genuine copy of the App. A device key identifier is registered with our server for this purpose. We also record basic usage metadata for AI requests (timestamps and token counts) to operate rate limits and manage costs.

Information We Do NOT Collect

  • Location data
  • Health data (HealthKit is not used)
  • Contacts, photos, or other device data
  • Advertising identifiers
  • We do not sell your data to anyone

Data Security

All communication between the App and our servers uses HTTPS encryption. Synced data is protected by per-user security rules. On iOS, device credentials are stored securely in the iOS Keychain, and training data on your device is protected by iOS’s built-in data protection.

Children’s Privacy

The App is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
