Rackside Privacy Policy

Effective 29 September 2026

Rackside is a strength-training log for iPhone and Apple Watch, made by Daniel Billett (“I”, “me”). This policy explains what the app does with your information.

The short version: Rackside doesn’t collect your data. Everything you log stays on your own devices. Nothing is sent to me or to anyone else.

What Rackside stores, and where

Rackside keeps the following on your iPhone, in the app’s own storage:

your workouts: the exercises, sets, weights and reps, and when you did them;
your routines, and any custom exercises you create;
your settings, such as the weight unit, your barbell and plates, rest timer lengths and appearance;
a few things the app keeps track of for itself, such as whether you’ve bought Rackside Unlimited, and which workouts are still to be saved to Apple Health.

None of this leaves your device unless you choose to send it somewhere (see “Backups” below). Rackside has:

no account or sign-in;
no servers;
no analytics, advertising or trackin
no third-party code or SDKs;
no cookies.

It makes no internet connections of itrvice it uses is Apple’s App Store, for the in-app purchase.

Your data sits in the app’s private storage, which other apps can’t read, and is protected by the encryption iOStected iPhone. If you back up your iPhone to iCloud or to a computer, that backup includes Rackside’s data, as it does fbackups are kept by Apple or on your computer under your control, not by me.

Apple Watch

The Rackside watch app shows your current workout and your routines, and lets you tick off sets. It exchanges tApple’s connection between your paired iPhone and Apple Watch. It is never sent to me or to anyone else.

When Apple Health is switched on in Ra an Apple Watch workout session while you train, so it stays on screen. As during any workout, your watch may record youen, into Apple Health on your own devices. Rackside doesn’t read it.
