This privacy policy applies to the Lihas app ("the Application") for mobile devices. Lihas is operated by Veeti Hurskainen as the legally responsible service provider and data controller. This policy explains what personal data the Application processes, why, on what legal basis, and the rights you have. Because the Application processes health-related data (a special category under Art. 9 GDPR), we apply heightened safeguards described below.

Data Controller

The controller responsible for processing your personal data under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is:

Lihas
Operated by / Data Controller: Veeti Hurskainen
Lambarenestraße 95, 47249 Duisburg, Deutschland
Contact: veeti1.hurskainen@gmail.com

Information Collection and Use

The Application collects information when you download and use it. This information may include:

Location (gym check-in only): If you enable location access, the Application uses your device location to detect when you arrive at or leave a gym you have saved, so it can log your gym visits automatically (geofencing). This processing runs on your device to power the check-in feature. Your precise location is not transmitted to our servers, is not used for advertising, and is not shared with any analytics or other external service. You can revoke location access at any time in your device settings; only the check-in feature stops working.

AI Coaching Features and Third-Party AI Processing: The Application offers AI-powered coaching, training-plan generation, and photo analysis. When you use one of these features, the data you have explicitly permitted in the in-app "AI data consent" screen is transmitted to our AI infrastructure to generate your response. Requests are routed through our secure server infrastructure hosted by Supabase, Inc. (EU region, Ireland) to Scaleway SAS, a France-based EU cloud provider that hosts the Mistral AI models we use. All processing takes place within the European Union. Depending on the categories you allow, the data sent may include: your profile and body details (name, age, gender, height, weight, goals, injuries, lifestyle), your workout and gym-attendance history, your strength values and rank, your food log (calories and macros), your health and sleep metrics (steps, heart rate, HRV, sleep), and progress or meal photos you choose to analyze. This data is used solely to generate coaching responses for you. No data is sent to the AI provider until you grant permission in the app, and you can review, change or withdraw your permissions at any time in Settings → AI Data. Scaleway and Supabase act as our processors (Auftragsverarbeiter) and are contractually bound to protect this data; see the Scaleway Privacy Policy (scaleway.com) and Supabase Privacy Policy (supabase.com) for details.

The Service Provider may use the information you provided to contact you from time to time to provide you with important information, required notices and marketing promotions.

For a better experience, while using the Application, the Service Provider may require you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information, including but not limited to veeti1.hurskainen@gmail.com. The information that the Service Provider request will be retained by them and used as described in this privacy policy.

Third Party Access & Processors

When you use the AI coaching features, the personal data you permit is processed by our processors as described in the "Information Collection and Use" section above. We do not sell your data and do not transmit it to advertisers or analytics services. The Application uses the following third-party service providers (processors), each subject to their own Privacy Policy and to a data processing agreement with us:

The Service Provider may disclose User Provided and Automatically Collected Information:

Your Rights under the GDPR

As a data subject you have the following rights regarding your personal data. You can exercise most of them directly in the Application; for anything else, contact us by email and we will respond within one month.

Right to lodge a complaint: you may contact a supervisory authority, in particular in the EU Member State of your residence or workplace. The authority competent for the controller is the Landesbeauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit Nordrhein-Westfalen (LDI NRW), Kavalleriestraße 2–4, 40213 Düsseldorf — www.ldi.nrw.de.

Opt-Out Rights

You can stop further collection and processing by disabling the relevant device permissions, disconnecting connected wearable services, withdrawing AI consent in Settings → AI Data, or uninstalling the Application. Uninstalling stops collection on that device, but it does not automatically remove data already stored in your account. To permanently erase that data, use Settings → Account → Delete Account or contact us by email.

Data Retention & Deletion

We retain your personal data only for as long as you use the Application. You are in control of deletion:

After deletion, residual copies in encrypted backups are purged within 30 days. Data required to be kept by law (e.g. billing records held by the app store / RevenueCat) is retained only for the legally mandated period.

Children

The Service Provider does not use the Application to knowingly solicit data from or market to children under the age of 13.

The Application does not address anyone under the age of 13. The Service Provider does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13 years of age. In the case the Service Provider discover that a child under 13 has provided personal information, the Service Provider will immediately delete this from their servers. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact the Service Provider (veeti1.hurskainen@gmail.com) so that they will be able to take the necessary actions.

Security

Because your data includes health information (a special category under Art. 9 GDPR), we apply state-of-the-art technical and organizational measures to protect it, both in transit and at rest:

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we continuously work to protect your data in line with the "state of the art" required for health data.

Changes

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by updating this page and, where required, through the Application. Continued use does not by itself constitute consent to any new processing of special-category data — such processing always requires your separate, explicit in-app consent.

This privacy policy is effective as of 2026-07-27.

Contact Us

If you have any questions regarding privacy while using the Application, or have questions about the practices, please contact the Service Provider via email.
