Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 25, 2026
Simpl is designed to collect less, keep your workout notes private, and make every form of sharing explicit.
Information we collect
We collect information you provide directly, including your email address, username, preferences, workout and diet notes, and optional training profile. We also generate limited session, sync, security, and AI-access audit records needed to operate and protect your account.
How we collect and use information
Information is collected when you create an account, write or import a note, save a training profile, connect a service, or contact us. We use it to authenticate you, sync and display your notes, import workouts you request, provide search and sharing, operate optional AI connections, prevent abuse, support you, and comply with legal obligations.
Workout and Health data
If you choose to connect Apple Health, Simpl reads completed workout summaries after Apple's permission prompt: workout date, activity type, start and end time, time zone, duration, distance, and active energy when available. Simpl does not read workout routes, heart-rate samples, detailed biometric samples, or source-device identifiers for AI use, and does not write data to Apple Health.
AI connections
ChatGPT access is optional. Before any personal data is available, Simpl identifies OpenAI — ChatGPT as the recipient and asks you to Allow or Deny specific OAuth permissions. Approved access may include workout-note dates, titles, text or excerpts, pinned status, and update times; training goals, constraints, equipment, workout-duration preference, and other training context you saved for AI; and the approved date range. Apple Health workout summaries require a separate checkbox that is off by default.
Simpl sends approved data only when ChatGPT calls a Simpl tool for the purpose of answering your workout questions or preparing workout-plan drafts. We do not send your email, credentials, friends' data, deleted notes, Health routes, heart-rate samples, or data outside the approved date range. Drafts cannot enter your calendar until you approve them.
You can review scopes and last-access information or disconnect in Settings → ChatGPT Data Access. Disconnecting immediately stops future access. OpenAI controls information already received in ChatGPT, including conversation retention and deletion, under the OpenAI Privacy Policy. Manage or delete ChatGPT conversations in ChatGPT.
Sharing
Your notes are not public by default. Simpl shares information only when you create a share link, grant access to an accepted friend, or explicitly connect ChatGPT. Friend access is read-only and excludes private account and Health information. We require service providers that process personal data for Simpl to provide protections consistent with this policy and applicable law.
Retention and deletion
Individual deleted notes remain recoverable for 30 days before permanent removal. You can disconnect Apple Health, revoke ChatGPT access, delete imported workout summaries, or permanently delete your account in the app. Confirming account deletion immediately removes the account and its associated data, including recoverable notes; there is no account recovery period. Encrypted backup copies expire through normal backup rotation.
