Privacy policy

Push for Gold records your sessions on your iPhone. Nothing you record leaves your phone unless you choose to share it.
Your account
You sign in with Apple or Google. We receive an identifier from that provider and, if you allow it, your name and email. We do not receive or store a password. We use your email only to keep your account secure; it is never shown to other athletes.
What you share
When an activity is shared, your chosen audience can open the same read-only activity details as you: title, notes, sport, saved chair/setup, measurements, personal bests, coaching takeaways, charts, comparisons, heart rate, exact start time, photos, full court/GPS paths and 3D replay. We store the derived activity and replay readings needed for those screens. Editing, deletion, exports and raw diagnostic files remain private; raw AirPod samples and wheel-sensor notifications are not uploaded by the community feature.
Optional tennis video stays on your iPhone and is never uploaded. If you use it, a shared tennis activity also includes insights worked out from the video: shot counts, ball speeds, where balls landed, serve statistics and movement suggestions. It never includes the video, pictures from it or anyone's identity.
- Each activity has a visibility: Everyone, Followers or Only you. Your default is Followers.
- Your audience sees the full recorded GPS route, including its start and finish. A wheel-derived court path has no geographic location.
- Heart rate, speed and exact start time are included for your chosen audience. Choose Only you to keep the entire activity private.
- Your classification is visible only to you unless you choose otherwise.
- Photos are re-encoded on your phone and stripped of location and camera metadata.

Athletes under 18 start with a private account, are not shown in search or suggestions, and only followers can comment.
Where data is stored
