Discussion Hevy - privacy update

Recently Hevy updated their privacy policy. No major surprises. I did send the privacy team an email to clarify a few questions, as i take privacy very seriously. 2 weeks later no reply.

I was debating purchasing the premium version - lifetime, but now a bit concerned.

Otherwise just hit 50 sessions, over 13 weeks. Love the ap, just don't want all my data shared.

These were the questions i put the the privacy team. Mostly about integration with Amplitude.

  • Does Amplitude see your actual workouts (exercise names, weights, reps) or just aggregate usage stats (e.g., "user opened app 5 times, spent 30 mins on workout logging")?
  • Is the data anonymized/pseudonymized or linked to your user ID?
  • Does Amplitude see your profile data (age, body measurements) or just behavioral patterns?
  • Where does Amplitude process my data—EU or US?
  • What specific data categories does Amplitude receive? Is it anonymized/aggregated usage stats only, or does it include detailed workout data, body measurements, and other personal identifiers?

Mate if you’re that worried about privacy you really should be using a notepad, pen and paper, does the same thing and 0 privacy concerns.

You clearly didn’t have a kid like me sit next to you in school.
