Privacy Policy

When you sign up for Tally, we collect the information you give us directly:

• Account details: your name, username, email address, profile photo, and password (handled through our identity provider, Clerk).
• Profile information: any optional details you add to your profile, such as a display name or bio.
• Workout content: the videos, rep counts, and timestamps generated when you record a workout, along with any comments, likes, or messages you send through the Service.

Tally uses your phone's camera to detect and count your reps. By design, the pose detection runs on-device. The raw camera frames used for rep detection are processed locally and are not transmitted to our servers.

When a workout is complete we upload the resulting short video clip (the "proof" you choose to post) to our servers so it can be shown in your feed. You can delete a post at any time, which removes the video from our active storage.

With your permission, Tally accesses your approximate location to (a) tag your post with your city, and (b) show city-level leaderboards and geo-filtered competitions. We do not collect or store precise GPS coordinates after deriving the city name. You can revoke location access at any time in your device settings; the rest of the Service will continue to work without it.

Like most apps, Tally automatically collects limited technical information to operate and improve the Service:

• Device info: model, operating system version, app version, and language preference.
• Usage info: which features you use, when, and anonymized crash reports.
• Network info: IP address and approximate region, used for security and rate-limiting.

We use the information we collect to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve the Service.
• Authenticate you, secure your account, and prevent fraud or abuse.
• Show your workouts to the people you've chosen to share them with, and to power streaks, leaderboards, and competitions.
• Communicate with you about updates, security alerts, and (with your consent) product news.
• Comply with our legal obligations and enforce our Terms.

We do not sell your personal information.

We share your information only in the limited circumstances below:

• Other users: the profile details, workouts, and comments you post are visible to the audience you select (e.g., your followers, a competition group, or the public).
• Service providers: trusted third parties that help us run Tally — for example, our authentication provider (Clerk), cloud hosting, video storage, and analytics tooling. These vendors are contractually limited to processing your data on our behalf.
• Legal compliance: when required by law, subpoena, or to protect the safety and rights of Tally, our users, or the public.
• Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred to the successor entity, subject to this Policy.

We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. When you delete your account, we delete or anonymize your personal information within a reasonable period, except where we are required to retain it for legal, accounting, or fraud-prevention purposes.

You have a number of choices about your information:

• Access & correction: review and update your profile from within the app.
• Deletion: delete individual posts at any time, or delete your entire account from the account settings screen.
• Permissions: manage camera, microphone, notification, and location permissions from your device settings.
• Regional rights: if you live in the EU, UK, California, or another region with applicable privacy laws, you may have additional rights — including the right to access, correct, port, or delete your data, or to object to certain processing. Email privacy@tally.app to exercise them.

The Service is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.

We use industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. No system is perfectly secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If we ever experience a data breach that affects your information, we will notify you as required by law.

Tally is operated from the United States. If you access the Service from outside the U.S., your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the U.S. or other countries where our service providers operate. By using the Service you consent to this transfer.

We may update this Policy from time to time. If we make material changes we will notify you in-app or by email. The "Effective" date at the top of this page indicates when it was last updated.
