Privacy Policy for QUOTA CORE, OVERLOAD & FLEX

Last Updated: September 29, 2026

1. Scope

This policy covers the iPhone apps QUOTA CORE, QUOTA OVERLOAD, and QUOTA FLEX, published by NovoBuild LLC. They are separate apps, with separate original training records and iCloud containers. Optional family history adds a local shared copy of workout summaries; it does not merge programs or goals.

Family history and the expanded Health reading described here apply to the upcoming CORE 1.0.4 (21), OVERLOAD 1.1.5 (47), FLEX 1.0 (17), and SWIM 1.1 (23) builds and later versions. These builds are in testing. Earlier CORE and FLEX builds only write completed workouts to Health; earlier OVERLOAD builds offer Show other workouts.

2. Training data you create

Depending on the app and the features you use, training data can include:

• Your selected plan, program family, schedule, equipment, and weight unit.
• Exercise choices, substitutions, custom exercises, and learned load estimates.
• Loads, repetitions, timed intervals, effort feedback, rest settings, and notes.
• Workout start and end times, completion history, progression, and training volume.
• Reminder, display, tutorial, Live Activity, and other app preferences.
• FLEX stretch-depth choices, movement exclusions, saved routines, comfort feedback, mobility notes, and personal movement check-ins.

This information is used to generate workouts, preserve your plan, calculate future suggestions, show history and progress, and recover interrupted sessions. NovoBuild does not use it for advertising or behavioral profiling.

3. Local storage, widgets, and Live Activities

Each app stores its training record in its own protected app container and maintains local recovery copies. QUOTA CORE shares the minimum state needed with its Home Screen widget through an Apple App Group. QUOTA OVERLOAD uses its App Group to provide the optional Lock Screen and Dynamic Island Live Activity. Those Apple system surfaces may display workout status on your device when you enable or add them.

Optional QUOTA family history

Share QUOTA history on this iPhone is off by default. Enable it in each app you want to include. CORE, OVERLOAD and FLEX share a workout identifier, app, title, date, duration and a short completion summary in a local container available only to the QUOTA apps. This shared copy is excluded from backups and iCloud sync. Turning sharing off removes that app's shared copy; its original history stays in the app.

SWIM shares references to recorded swims, not their Health details. Each receiving app needs its own Health read permission to display those swims. Other-app workouts do not change your training goals, program or progression.

4. Private iCloud backup, sync, and recovery

When iCloud is available, QUOTA CORE and QUOTA OVERLOAD each store a separate, app-specific copy in the private CloudKit database associated with your Apple Account. The apps use these copies to sync across your devices and recover training after a reinstall or local-data problem. Local training remains available while you are signed out or offline.

FLEX sync is off until you choose Enable private iCloud sync in Settings. It stores its own copy in your private iCloud storage, including preferences, sessions, saved routines, and personal observations. It also maintains a local backup. FLEX does not offer CORE and OVERLOAD's seven-day recovery browser. Turning sync off retains the existing iCloud copy.

Apple operates iCloud and CloudKit under Apple's Privacy Policy. NovoBuild does not use private iCloud training data for analytics, advertising, marketing, or sale.

5. Optional Apple Health saving and workout imports

Apple Health sharing is off until you turn it on. If you enable it, the selected QUOTA app can write a completed workout: traditional strength training for CORE and OVERLOAD, or flexibility for FLEX. The saved record includes its start and end time, the QUOTA app name, and an identifier used to avoid duplicate writes.

Saving workouts and Include Apple Health workouts are separate opt-ins. All activity can display summaries from the last 90 days, including activity type, start and end times, duration and source. Workout and source identifiers help avoid duplicates. Exercise, set and muscle details are not imported.

Imported summaries remain in memory on this device. They are not saved to the app's persistent training record, included in iCloud sync or exports, or sent to NovoBuild. They do not change your program, training maxes, strength trends, or muscle coverage. Turning off Include Apple Health workouts clears imported summaries without deleting the original workouts in Apple Health.

The apps do not write calorie estimates. You control Health permissions in iPhone Settings and can manage saved workouts in the Health app. Turning off workout saving does not delete workouts already saved to Health.

6. Optional notifications

If you enable reminders, the apps schedule them through Apple's notification system on your device. QUOTA OVERLOAD can also schedule a next-set alert when a rest timer ends; that alert may include the exercise name. You can disable these features in the app or revoke notification permission in iPhone Settings.

7. Exports and user-directed sharing

You can create a JSON export containing your plan, settings, progression, and workout history. The file leaves the app only when you choose a destination through Apple's share sheet. The recipient or storage provider you select controls its own copy, so review that destination's privacy practices and protect the file appropriately.

8. Information sent to NovoBuild

The apps do not require an account and include no advertising SDK, third-party analytics SDK, cross-app tracking, or NovoBuild training-data server. NovoBuild does not sell or rent personal information.

If you email support, NovoBuild receives the email address, message, and attachments you choose to send. Support correspondence is used to answer the request, diagnose the issue, prevent abuse, and maintain an appropriate service record. Do not send passwords, verification codes, or health information that is not needed for support.

9. Retention and deletion

• Local training data remains until you delete individual history where available, reset the app's training data, or remove the app from the device.
• In CORE and OVERLOAD, the in-app reset/delete-training action clears the current local program and training history and propagates the reset to that app's private iCloud record. Reset markers prevent older devices from restoring deleted history. QUOTA OVERLOAD retains app settings and custom exercises when its program and history are reset.
• Deleting the app from an iPhone removes its local container, but an existing iCloud copy may remain available for restoration until an in-app reset is propagated or you remove the app's stored data through your Apple iCloud controls.
• The FLEX preview does not have a single reset button. Local data, its private iCloud copy, saved Health workouts and exported files must be removed separately. See FLEX support for the steps. Turning off iCloud or Health saving does not delete previously saved data.
• Imported Health summaries are held in memory only. Turn off Include Apple Health workouts to clear them; the original Health records remain under your control. Turn off Share QUOTA history on this iPhone to remove that app's shared copy.
• Workouts already written to Apple Health and files you exported must be deleted from those destinations separately.

10. Security

The apps use Apple platform storage, App Groups, HealthKit, CloudKit, and system sharing mechanisms. No method of storage or transmission is perfectly secure, so keep your device and Apple Account protected and store exports only in places you trust.

11. Children's privacy

The QUOTA apps are not directed to children under 13, and NovoBuild does not knowingly collect personal information from children through the apps.

12. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated as the apps change. The date above identifies the current version. Material changes will be reflected on this page before or when the related feature is released.
