RuskiMaxxing Cloud (api.ruskimaxxing.com) stores a backup of the training data you choose to sync from the RuskiMaxxing apps so you can restore it on another device. The apps are free; cloud backup is a paid yearly plan, and further program years are optional one-time purchases. Payments are handled by Stripe - we never see or store your card number.

What we store

• Your email address and a one-way hash of your password (never the password itself).
• Your Stripe customer id, plan status (active / ended and the renewal date), and program-year purchase records (year, amount, date, and whether it was refunded).
• Your training log (sets, weights, reps, RPE, notes), bodyweight, body fat measurements and program settings such as height and start date.
• If you check in for a streak: the date, the time we received your check-in, and a fingerprint of the photo (never the photo itself - see "Streak photos" below).
• Whether you've granted coaching consent, when, under which version of that consent, and a history of grants/withdrawals.

How we use it

• To back up and restore your data, and to run your account, plan and program-year purchases.
• To improve the training programs, including building future years. For this we only look at training results combined across many users and stripped of anything that identifies you: never your email, and never one person's log on its own.
• Coaching consent: if - and only if - you've checked the coaching-consent box (required before buying a program year, withdrawable and re-grantable any time at /account/program), we can also view your individual synced training log, bodyweight, body fat and settings, in order to personalize your program and coach you directly. Every time we (a human operator, via the admin tools) look at a consented user's individual data, that view is logged. Without your consent, our admin tools show us only counts and storage size for your account, never your training data, and we don't look at it any other way.

Streak photos

If you use the streak feature, your barbell photo is processed entirely in memory on our server at the moment you submit it, to compute a perceptual fingerprint (so we can reject an obviously reused photo) and, if present, read the photo's EXIF timestamp. The photo itself is never written to disk, a database, or a log, and we discard it immediately after processing. We keep only the date, when we received it, and that fingerprint.

What we don't do

• We don't sell or share your data, show ads, or use trackers.
• We don't publish or share anyone's individual data, including in program research.
• We don't store streak photos, and we don't verify what's actually in them.

Your control

• Delete your account and all synced data at any time: log in at /account and choose Delete account. Deletion is immediate and permanent.
• Your data also stays on your own device; the app works without an account.
• If your plan ends, backups pause but nothing is deleted - you can still restore, or delete it yourself.
• Withdraw coaching consent at any time at /account/program; we immediately lose access to your individual training data. Your purchased program years keep working either way.
