Privacy Policy
Last updated 23 October 2026
The short version. LockingIn is a coaching app. We keep what you log (training, food, body measurements, photos and messages) so you and your coach can use it. We don't sell your data, we don't show ads in the apps, and you can delete your account and everything in it at any time, from the app or from this page.
LockingIn (the iPhone and Android apps and the website at wearelocking.in, together "the service") is run by 7 Technologies Limited ("we", "us"). We are the controller of your personal data for the purposes of the UK GDPR and EU GDPR. Questions or requests: faheem@7technologi.es.
1. What we collect
Your account
- Name, email address and password (the password is handled by Google Firebase Authentication; we never see it).
- Your role (client, coach or admin) and, for clients, who your coach is.
- Optional profile details: photo, date of birth, gender and height.
- Coaches: your public listing (bio, specialties, qualifications, country, hourly rate, years of experience, cover image) and an invite link.
What you log
- Workouts: sessions, sets, weights, reps, timed holds, notes, ratings and personal records.
- Nutrition: food entries, portions, custom foods, saved meals and recipes, and your targets.
- Body: body weight, measurements and progress photos.
- Check-ins: weekly check-in answers and questionnaire responses.
- Messages with your coach or clients, including photos, videos and files you send.
Health data (only if you turn it on)
If you connect Apple Health (iPhone) or Health Connect (Android), the app reads steps, sleep, body weight, water intake and nutrition, and saves a daily summary so your coach can see it alongside your training. The app never writes to Apple Health or Health Connect. Health data is used only to provide the coaching features you see in the app. It is never used for advertising, never sold, and never shared with anyone other than your coach. You can disconnect it at any time in your phone's settings.
Technical data
- A push notification token for your device, so we can send the notifications you've allowed.
- Your notification preferences.
- Basic server logs (such as request times and errors) that our hosting provider keeps to run and secure the service.
The apps contain no advertising and no third-party analytics or tracking SDKs.
2. How we use it
- To run the service: storing your logs, showing your progress, building and assigning workouts, and delivering messages. (Legal basis: performing our contract with you.)
- To connect you with your coach: your coach can see your training, nutrition, body data, check-ins, health summaries and messages. That's the point of the app. If your coach turns on the squad board, other clients of the same coach see your first name, last initial and adherence; you can hide yourself from it.
- To send notifications you've allowed, such as rest timers, messages and new workouts. You can turn each kind off in the app.
- To keep the service secure and fix problems. (Legal basis: our legitimate interests.)
- Health data is processed only with your explicit consent, which you give when you connect it and can withdraw at any time.
We don't sell your personal data, and we don't use it for advertising or to build marketing profiles.
3. Who we share it with
We share data only with the services that run LockingIn for us, and only what each one needs:
| Provider | What for | What it receives |
|---|---|---|
| Google Firebase / Google Cloud (Authentication, Firestore, Cloud Storage, Cloud Functions, Cloud Messaging, Hosting) | Hosting, database, file storage, sign-in, push notifications | Everything you store in the service |
| Google Gemini API | Turning text you type, such as "2 eggs and toast" or a pasted workout, into structured entries | That text only, when you use these features |
| FatSecret and Open Food Facts | Food search and barcode lookup | Your search terms and scanned barcodes, not your identity |
| Zoom | Video check-ins your coach schedules | Meeting details, if your coach uses Zoom |
| Apple Push Notification service / Firebase Cloud Messaging | Delivering notifications | A device token and the notification text |
If you choose to connect an AI assistant (for example Claude or ChatGPT) to your account from the app, that assistant can read and log data on your behalf through the access you grant. You can revoke it at any time in the app. We may also disclose data if the law requires it.
4. Where it's stored
Our providers store data on Google Cloud servers, including in the United States. Where data leaves the UK or EEA, it is protected by the safeguards our providers offer, such as the UK International Data Transfer Addendum and the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
5. How long we keep it
We keep your data while your account exists. When you delete your account, we delete your data from our live systems straight away, and it is cleared from our providers' backups within 30 days. Server logs are kept for up to 30 days.
6. Deleting your account
In the app: Profile → Delete account. On the web: wearelocking.in/delete-account.html. Deletion removes your profile, everything you've logged, your photos and files, your conversations, and your sign-in. Coaches' clients keep their own training history and become unassigned. Full details are on the deletion page.
7. Your rights
Depending on where you live, including under the UK GDPR and EU GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, export or delete your data; to object to or restrict how we process it; and to withdraw consent, for example for health data, at any time. Email faheem@7technologi.es and we'll respond within one month. You can also complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk) or your local data protection authority.
8. Children
LockingIn is for adults. It is not directed at anyone under 18, and we don't knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has an account, contact us and we'll delete it.
9. Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top. If the change is significant, we'll also tell you in the app.
