Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 7, 2026
Push Team ("the app," "we," "us") is a push-up bracket game. The app counts your push-ups and you compete against friends in tournament brackets. This policy explains what information the app collects, how it is used, and the choices you have.
Information we collect
- Account information. Your email address, used to sign in and secure your account. Authentication is handled by our provider, Clerk.
- Profile information. The username you choose, an optional profile photo, and your time zone. Profile photos are stored as image data in our database.
- Push-up sets. For each set you log: the number of reps, when it started and ended, how it was counted (camera or proximity sensor), rep timings, and simple depth measurements. The app does not read data from Apple Health or any wearable.
- Camera and sensors. While you log a set, the app uses your front camera to detect that a face is in view and how close it is, and may use the proximity sensor and motion sensors. This happens entirely on your device: camera frames are never recorded, stored, or uploaded, and no facial recognition or face data is kept, only the resulting rep count and the measurements above.
- Social activity. Friend requests and connections, the brackets you create, join, or are invited to, and reports and blocks you make.
- Notifications. If you enable push notifications, a push token from the Expo notification service and your notification preferences.
- Technical data. Standard server and diagnostic logs (such as request metadata and, at our hosting provider, network address) used to operate and secure the service.
How we use your information
- To create and secure your account and sign you in.
- To run the game: count and record your push-ups, build brackets, and determine matchups and winners.
- To show your profile (username, photo, scores, and record) to other players in your brackets.
- To review reports and keep the community safe.
- To send push notifications you have opted into.
- To maintain, debug, and protect the service.
How your information is shared
- With other users. Your username, profile photo, daily rep totals, and win/loss record are visible to other players in brackets you take part in.
- With service providers. We use a small number of processors to run the app: Clerk (authentication), our database and application hosting providers, and the Expo push notification service. They process data only to provide these services.
- We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for third-party advertising.
- Legal. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, safety, and security of our users and the service.
Data retention and deletion
We keep your information for as long as your account is active. You can delete your account at any time from Profile → Delete Account in the app. Deleting your account permanently removes your profile, push-up history, and social connections from our database. Backups and diagnostic logs may persist for a limited period before being overwritten.
Security
Data is transmitted over encrypted connections (HTTPS) and stored with our database provider. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect your information.
Children
Push Team is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Your rights
You can access and update your profile in the app, and delete your account and associated data as described above. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights over your personal information; contact us to make a request.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the app after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.
