Privacy Notice

Last updated 18 August 2026

Ylogix, LLC, trading as The Forge, is the data controller for the personal data described here. This notice explains what we collect when you train with us, why we collect it, who we share it with and what rights you have.

What we collect and why

  • Account details — name, email address and login credentials. Used to create and secure your account and to identify you to your coach. Legal basis: performance of our contract with you.
  • Training and body data — weight, body-fat percentage, body measurements, lifting records, goals, check-in notes and progress photos you upload. Used to build your programme, review your check-ins and show your progress. Legal basis: performance of our contract; where this is health-related information we rely on your explicit consent, which you give by choosing to log it and can withdraw at any time.
  • Coach notes — notes your coach records about your training, injuries and preferences, used to plan your sessions. Legal basis: performance of our contract.
  • Purchase records — the plan you bought, subscription status and billing period, so we know what coaching you are entitled to. Card details are never seen or stored by us. Legal basis: contract and our legal obligation to keep sales records.
  • Technical and usage data — IP address, device and browser information, sign-in events and error logs. Used to keep the service secure, prevent fraud and fix problems. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in a secure, working service.
  • Messages you send us — support emails and enquiries, used to answer you. Legal basis: contract and legitimate interest.

We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use your progress photos for marketing. If we ever want to use a testimonial or photo publicly, we will ask you first and you can say no.

Who we share it with

  • Your coach — the trainer you work with sees your training data, check-ins and photos so they can coach you.
  • Hosting and infrastructure providers — who host the application, database and photo storage on our behalf under contract.
  • Paddle, our Merchant of Record — for the sale of coaching plans, subscription management, payments, tax compliance and invoicing.
  • Professional advisers — such as accountants or lawyers, where needed.
  • Authorities — where we are required to disclose information by law.

Security

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including encrypted connections, access controls that restrict your records to you and your coach, and private storage for progress photos that is only accessible through short-lived, authenticated links.

How long we keep it

We keep your account and training data for as long as you have an account with us, and for a reasonable period afterwards in case you return. If you ask us to delete your account, we delete or anonymise your training data, check-ins and progress photos, apart from records we must keep for tax and accounting purposes. Technical logs are kept for a short period and then removed.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you have the right to ask us for a copy of your data, to correct it, to delete it, to restrict or object to how we use it, to receive it in a portable format, and to withdraw consent where we rely on it. You can also complain to your local data protection authority. To exercise any of these rights, email ethangillen@gmail.com — we aim to respond within one month.

International transfers

Our providers may process data in countries outside your own, including the United States. Where data leaves the UK or EEA we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy decision.

Cookies

We use only essential cookies and similar local storage: they keep you signed in and keep the app secure. We do not use advertising cookies. You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings, but you will not be able to stay signed in.

Changes to this notice

If we make material changes we will update this page and let you know in the app or by email.
