Ankh ("we", "our", or "the app") is a personal fitness tracking application. We take your privacy seriously. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.
Health & fitness data (via Apple HealthKit): With your permission, Ankh reads the following data types from Apple Health:
This data originates from your connected devices (e.g., Whoop, smart scales) and is read locally on your device.
Data you enter manually: Workout logs (exercises, sets, reps, notes), food entries (meals, calories, macros), supplement logs, body measurements, progress photos, and goals.
Photos: If you choose to add photos to share cards, those photos are processed entirely on your device. They are never uploaded to our servers.
Camera & food/supplement label scanning: If you use the label scanning feature, the app accesses your device camera to photograph food and supplement labels. These images are sent to Anthropic's Claude API for AI-powered recognition and nutritional data extraction. Images are not stored by Ankh or Anthropic after processing is complete; they are used solely for the immediate analysis request and then discarded.
Account information: If you choose to sign in with Apple for cloud sync, we receive your Apple ID identifier and, optionally, your name and email address. We do not receive your Apple ID password.
Profile details: If you sign in for cloud sync, the profile details you enter in the app are stored in your account so they stay with you when you reinstall Ankh or switch to a new device. These are: your first name, date of birth, height, target weight, Instagram handle, and biological sex. Your first name personalises your daily greeting; your date of birth and biological sex support age- and sex-adjusted features; height, target weight, and Instagram handle are optional. This information is stored alongside your other synced data, is never used for advertising, and is never sold to third parties. If you do not enable cloud sync, these details remain only on your device.
All data processing happens on your device. Specifically:
We comply with Apple's HealthKit guidelines:
Anthropic (Claude API): Ankh Intelligence features (AI coaching, food scanning, supplement scanning, per-workout analysis, morning briefings, and Missions) use Anthropic's Claude API. When you use these features, a summary of your fitness data is sent to Anthropic's servers for processing. Anthropic's privacy policy applies to that data. You can review it at anthropic.com/privacy.
Whoop: If you connect your Whoop account, Ankh accesses your Whoop data (recovery, strain, sleep, heart rate, workouts) via the Whoop API using OAuth authentication. Your Whoop credentials are never stored by Ankh; only a revocable access token is stored securely in the iOS Keychain. See whoop.com/privacy.
Supabase: If you enable cloud sync, your data is stored on Supabase infrastructure in the EU. Supabase's privacy policy applies. See supabase.com/privacy.
Apple: Sign in with Apple is provided by Apple Inc. Apple's privacy policy applies to the authentication process.
Local data is stored on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework and iOS Keychain (for sensitive tokens). This data is protected by your device's encryption and passcode.
If you enable cloud sync, data is transmitted over HTTPS and stored in Supabase's EU servers. Authentication tokens are stored in the iOS Keychain, not in plain-text storage.
If you enable cloud sync, your data is stored on Supabase servers located in Frankfurt, Germany (EU). If you use AI analysis features (including food/supplement label scanning), your data is sent to Anthropic's servers in the United States for processing.
This means your data may be transferred across international borders. For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), transfers to the US are conducted in reliance on Anthropic's data processing agreements and applicable standard contractual clauses. AI data is processed transiently and is not retained by Anthropic after the request is complete.
Ankh uses the following third-party subprocessors to provide its services:
We do not use any analytics SDKs, tracking pixels, crash reporting services, or advertising frameworks.
Your data remains on your device until you delete the app. Deleting the app removes all locally stored data.
If you have cloud sync enabled, you can delete your cloud data by signing out from Settings. To request complete deletion of your cloud account and all associated data, contact us at the email below.
You can delete your account and all associated data directly within the app. Go to Settings → Account → Delete Account. This will permanently remove:
This action is irreversible. Data deleted through this process cannot be recovered. HealthKit data stored in Apple Health is managed separately through the Apple Health app and is not affected by account deletion in Ankh.
Ankh is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
If you are in the European Economic Area, you have the right to:
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the email below.
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy in the app and updating the "Last updated" date above.
