Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 2026

This policy covers the Turtle Hermit website and the Turtle Hermit app for iOS and Android. The short version: the site only keeps the email you choose to leave us, the app only touches workouts you put in, we don't run ads, and we never sell your data.

The waitlist email

When you join the waitlist on this site, we store one thing: your email address. We use it to let you know when the app launches and for the occasional update from camp. We don't buy lists, we don't share or sell your email, and every waitlist message makes leaving easy. If you'd rather not hear from us, reply and we'll remove you.

The website

This is a static marketing site on Cloudflare. It sets no cookies, runs no analytics, and has no tracking of any kind. The waitlist form posts straight to the site's own storage — no third-party form service, no external analytics.

The app — sign in

You sign in to the app with your own Google account (Google sign-in via Firebase Authentication). We see your name and avatar if you share them; we don't read the rest of your Google account.

The app — your workouts

The app stores the data you enter: workouts, sets, weights, and personal records. Workouts are saved to our Firebase cloud (Google) under your own account, so you can pick up on any device. Security rules are per-account: only your own accounts can read or write your data — not ours, not anyone else's. You can export or delete your data in the app at any time, and deleting your account removes it.

Third parties

Sign-in and workout storage run on Google infrastructure under Google's privacy policy. The site runs on Cloudflare. If you install the app from the App Store or Google Play, those stores are involved in the distribution. We do not use ad networks, and we do not use analytics or tracking SDKs.

What we do not do

No ads. No ad tracking. No analytics. No selling or sharing your data with anyone. No pay-to-win. The only thing we count is your streak.

Your choices

You can export or delete your workout data from inside the app at any time. Joining the waitlist is optional, and leaving it takes one reply. If anything in this policy changes, the page you're reading is where it'll say so first.
