Consumer dispute resolution

We are neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute settlement proceedings before a consumer arbitration board (§ 36 VSBG).

Privacy Policy

The short version. Liftara has no user accounts and no servers. Every workout, personal record, body measurement and setting stays in the app's own storage on your iPhone. We do not collect, receive, transmit or sell your data. There is no analytics SDK, no advertising SDK and no third-party tracking of any kind. AI features run entirely on your device.

1. Controller

The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is:
HBJ-Solutions GbR, Haardter Str. 13, 67433 Neustadt an der Weinstraße, Germany · hello@hbj-solutions.com

We are not legally required to appoint a Data Protection Officer. Privacy enquiries go to the address above.

2. What data the app processes, and where it stays

DataPurposeWhere it is stored
Workouts, exercises, sets, weights, repetitions, notes, session ratings To show your training history, streak and personal records Only on your device, in the app's private container
Streak, weekly goal, rest-day allowance, units, reminder settings App behaviour and reminders Only on your device (iOS user defaults)
Body weight and body-fat entries (optional, Pro) To chart bodyweight next to your strength numbers Only on your device
Text you type into the AI draft field To generate a workout suggestion Processed on device and discarded; never transmitted
Subscription status To unlock Liftara Pro features Held by Apple; the app only reads a yes/no entitlement

Liftara does not ask for your name, email address, date of birth, phone number or any account credentials. It requests no access to your contacts, photos, microphone, camera, location or health records.

3. On-device AI (Apple Intelligence)

On supported devices, Liftara's workout drafts and weekly recaps are produced by Apple's on-device foundation model through Apple's FoundationModels framework. The prompt — your chosen focus, available time, equipment and a summary of your own recent training — is processed locally on your iPhone. No prompt, response or training data is sent to HBJ-Solutions, to Apple's servers, or to any other third party. Liftara does not use Private Cloud Compute and does not use any external AI provider.

On devices without Apple Intelligence, the same features are produced by a rule-based planner built into the app. This also runs entirely offline.

4. Notifications

Reminders are local notifications scheduled by the app on your device. There is no push server and no device token is transmitted to us. You can revoke notification permission at any time in iOS Settings → Notifications → Liftara. Legal basis: your consent, Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, granted through the iOS permission prompt and withdrawable at any time.

5. Purchases and subscriptions

Liftara Pro is sold and billed exclusively by Apple through the App Store. Payment data, billing address and Apple Account details are processed by Apple Inc. / Apple Distribution International Ltd. under Apple's Privacy Policy. We never see them. We receive only aggregated, anonymised sales and subscription reports from Apple, which cannot be traced back to an individual person.

Within the app, StoreKit communicates with Apple's servers to verify your subscription. This connection is made by the operating system to Apple, not to us.

6. Support correspondence

If you email hello@hbj-solutions.com, we process your email address and the content of your message solely to answer you. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (steps prior to or in performance of a contract) and Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in answering support requests). Support emails are deleted once the request is settled and no statutory retention period applies — as a rule within 12 months.

7. Hosting of this page

This legal page is served from hbj-solutions.com. As with any web server, the host records technical access data (IP address, time of request, requested file, browser type) in server log files for the purpose of operating and securing the site. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Log data is deleted after a maximum of 7 days. No cookies, analytics or tracking pixels are used on this page.

8. Recipients and third-country transfers

We do not pass your data to third parties, because we do not hold it. There is no data transfer to countries outside the EU/EEA carried out by us. Purchases and any related transfer are made by Apple under its own terms and safeguards.

9. Retention and deletion

Your training data lives on your iPhone for as long as the app is installed. Deleting the app deletes all of it. There is nothing to request from us and nothing for us to delete on your behalf. If you use iCloud device backups, a copy of the app container may be included in that backup, which is managed by Apple under your iCloud settings.

Pro subscribers can export the full history as a CSV file at any time (Settings → Export history), which satisfies the right to data portability by design.

10. Your rights

To exercise any of these, write to hello@hbj-solutions.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. The authority responsible for us is:

Der Landesbeauftragte für den Datenschutz und die Informationsfreiheit Rheinland-Pfalz, Hintere Bleiche 34, 55116 Mainz, Germany.

11. Children

Liftara is not directed at children. We do not knowingly process data of children under 16. Because the app collects no personal data at all, no age verification is performed.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the app changes. The date at the top of this page always states the current version. Material changes affecting existing users will be announced in the app.

Terms of Use (EULA)

1. Scope

These terms govern your use of the Liftara iOS application ("the App") provided by HBJ-Solutions GbR ("we", "us"). By downloading or using the App you accept these terms. The App is distributed through Apple's App Store; Apple's Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions apply in addition to these terms and prevail in case of conflict with respect to the distribution and billing relationship between you and Apple.

2. Licence

We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the App on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial use, in accordance with the App Store's Usage Rules. You may not copy, reverse engineer, decompile, modify, rent, lease, sell or redistribute the App or any part of it, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law.

3. What the free version includes

Workout logging, streak tracking, personal records for every rep count, the exercise catalog, custom exercises, reminders, the rest timer, training history and up to two saved routines are available at no cost and without advertising.

4. Liftara Pro subscription

What it unlocks
AI workout drafts, written weekly recaps, advanced analytics (volume trends, muscle balance, 1RM curves), unlimited routines, body metrics, plate and warm-up calculations, Streak Shield and CSV export.
Plans and price
Monthly and yearly auto-renewing plans. The exact price for your region and currency is always shown in the App before you confirm, and is charged as displayed by the App Store.
Billing
Payment is charged to your Apple Account upon confirmation of purchase.
Renewal
The subscription renews automatically for the same period and at the same price unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple Account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.
Cancellation
You can manage or cancel at any time in App Store → your Apple Account → Subscriptions, or at apps.apple.com/account/subscriptions. Cancelling stops the next renewal; the subscription stays active until the end of the paid period.
Family Sharing
Not supported. A Liftara Pro subscription applies to the purchasing Apple Account only and cannot be shared with a Family Sharing group.
Free trial
Where an introductory offer is shown, any unused portion of a free period is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.
Refunds
Refunds are handled by Apple under Apple's terms. Requests go to reportaproblem.apple.com. We cannot issue refunds for App Store purchases ourselves.

5. Right of withdrawal for consumers in the EU

Consumers in the European Union generally have a 14-day right of withdrawal for digital purchases. Because the App and the subscription are sold to you by Apple as the merchant of record, this right is exercised against Apple through reportaproblem.apple.com, in line with Apple's Media Services Terms. Statutory consumer rights remain unaffected by these terms.

6. Health and safety notice

Liftara is a training log and a fitness tool. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Estimated one-rep-max values, workout drafts, warm-up suggestions and coaching notes are informational estimates produced from formulas and your own logged data, and may be inaccurate for you. Strength training carries a risk of injury. Consult a physician before starting or changing a training programme, especially if you have a pre-existing condition, are pregnant, or are recovering from an injury. Stop training and seek medical help if you experience pain, dizziness or shortness of breath. You train at your own risk.

7. Your data is your responsibility

The App stores everything locally on your device. We hold no copy and cannot restore your history if your device is lost, reset, or the App is deleted. Keep an iCloud/iTunes device backup, or export your history as CSV, if your data matters to you.

8. Availability and changes

We develop the App continuously and may add, change or remove features. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability of App Store services or of Apple Intelligence features, which depend on your device, its operating system version and Apple's own availability.

9. Liability

We are liable without limitation for damages arising from injury to life, body or health caused by our negligence, for damages caused intentionally or by gross negligence, and under the German Product Liability Act. For slight negligence, we are liable only for the breach of a material contractual obligation (an obligation whose fulfilment makes proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose observance you may regularly rely), and in that case only for foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract. Any further liability is excluded.

10. Third-party rights (Apple)

Apple is not a party to these terms and has no obligation to furnish maintenance or support for the App. Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims relating to the App, including product liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to a legal or regulatory requirement, or claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.

11. Governing law and jurisdiction

German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer with habitual residence in another EU member state, you retain the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of that state. For merchants, the place of jurisdiction is Neustadt an der Weinstraße, Germany.

12. Severability

If any provision of these terms is or becomes invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions is unaffected.
