Muscler processes only the information needed for workout logging and social features. We do not use advertising trackers, facial recognition, HealthKit, or medical data. Precise location is used only during nearby place search and is not retained in workout records.
1. Scope, purposes, and legal basis
BONG YEAWON (the “Controller”) provides the Muscler app and muscler.net. This policy is version 1.2, announced and effective on 2026-07-29. We process data to create and authenticate accounts; provide profiles, workout logs, feeds, follows, groups and notifications; respond to reports; and protect the service. Data necessary to perform the service contract is processed on that basis, and consent is obtained where applicable law requires it.

We access the camera or photo picker only when you choose to capture or select an image. We do not collect videos, contacts, advertising IDs, diagnoses, diseases, body measurements, biometric templates, HealthKit, or Health Connect data. Apple or Google processes Plus payment methods and full payment details; Muscler does not collect card or bank details. A purchase token or signed transaction is processed transiently for store verification but is not stored in raw form. We retain only the verified transaction identifier, subscription status, and expiration.
3. Retention and deletion
We delete data without undue delay when its purpose ends or you delete it. Account deletion permanently removes the account, profiles, social links, workout logs, uploaded files, comments, reactions, group activity and push tokens and cannot be undone. Verified subscription transaction identifiers and status may be isolated and retained only as long as needed for payment disputes, fraud prevention, or legal obligations, then deleted. We do not operate a separate backup archive.
4. Third parties, processors, and international transfers
We do not sell personal data or disclose it without consent or another lawful basis. AWS hosts the service in South Korea. Google LLC provides Firebase Cloud Messaging, Google Places, Google login, and Google Play billing; Apple Inc. provides Apple login and App Store billing. These providers may process installation identifiers, tokens, search queries, search-time location, selected login details, payment details, and product, transaction, or subscription information on global infrastructure including the United States. Kakao Corp. processes login and place-search data in South Korea. Gmail processes verification and support email. Transfers occur electronically when you use the relevant feature and are retained under the provider's terms or applicable legal periods. You may avoid optional features, though the feature will then be unavailable.
5. User content, photos, and location
Posts are shown according to PUBLIC, FRIENDS or PRIVATE visibility. Upload only images you have the right to share. We do not perform facial recognition. Precise location is used transiently only when you request nearby place search and is sent to Kakao or Google for that search; it is not retained in workout records or request logs. A selected public place name and its public coordinates may be displayed. We do not collect background location.
6. Automatic data, cookies, advertising, and tracking
Minimum access logs may be generated for up to 30 days. These public policy pages use no cookies or analytics and collect no new personal data. Muscler uses no personalized advertising, ad SDK, cross-app tracking, or ATT tracking.
7. Your rights and account deletion
You may update profile and privacy settings in My → Settings and permanently delete your account through Account → Delete Account. You may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or withdrawal by app or email, subject to identity verification. See Account and Data Deletion.
8. Children
Muscler is intended for users aged 14 or older and asks users to confirm this at signup. We do not knowingly allow children under 14 to create accounts and will delete an account if we learn it was created in error.
9. Security
We use HTTPS, one-way password hashing, hashed authentication tokens, access controls, minimized logs, upload path restrictions, and dependency and error reviews.
