SPYTE
Privacy Policy
The short version: on your own, everything stays on your phone. If you join a team in Team Mode, what you share is stored with Google Firebase so your team can see it. If you use AI, your data goes straight from your phone to the AI provider you pick, using your own key. No ads, no analytics, no tracking, and you can delete your account any time.
1Overview
Spyte is a training and race log for track & field athletes. You can use it entirely on your own phone, join a team in Team Mode to share training with a team owner and teammates, and optionally use AI features with your own AI provider key. We never sell your data, never use it for advertising, and never share it outside your team except with the service providers below.
2Using Spyte on your own
Without signing in, Spyte sends nothing to us. Everything you log stays on your phone:
- Training and race entries (dates, distances, times, sets, notes) and any videos you attach
- Your shoe, location, mode and drill library, and your supplement checklist
- Your profile (name, birthday and photo, if you add them), app skin, language and other settings
- AI chats and AI keys, if you use AI (see section 5)
If you delete Spyte from your phone, this data is deleted with it.
3Team Mode data
Team Mode is optional. When you sign in (with Apple, Google, or email and password) and join or own a team, Spyte stores the following in Google Firebase:
| DATA | WHY |
|---|---|
| Account ID and sign-in email | To sign you in. With Apple's "Hide My Email", this is a relay address. |
| Name, small profile picture, Arena figure look | So your team can recognise you |
| Training sessions and race results, including location names you type | So your team owner and teammates can see your training |
| Goals and achievements | So your team owner can see them |
| Team chat messages | Team conversation |
| Workouts your team owner sends | Team and personal workouts |
| Team membership and invite codes | To know which team you're on |
Never uploaded to Firebase: videos, your birthday, your supplement checklist, AI chats, AI keys, and your device location. Spyte doesn't read your location; places are names you type.
This data is used only to run Team Mode. It's linked to your account but never used for tracking, advertising or profiling.
4Who can see what
- Your team owner sees your profile, goals, and full training and race history.
- Your teammates see your name, picture and figure, and only your training from the current week.
- Team chat is visible to everyone on your team. Personal workouts are visible only to you and your team owner.
- The Spyte administrator can see account names, sign-in emails and team memberships to manage team owners, but can't read your training, goals, workouts or chat.
- No one outside your team can read your team's data. Server-side security rules enforce this, not just the app.
Anyone with your team's invite link can join it. Team owners can remove people at any time.
5AI features
AI is optional and only works with an API key you add from a provider you choose: Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI, Google (Gemini), DeepSeek, xAI (Grok) or Cohere. Before the first use, Spyte shows exactly what will be sent and asks you to allow it.
- What's sent: your question or plain-text log description, plus your goals, personal bests, race history, weekly totals, full training log and (in your own chat) your supplement log. The full log is sent once per chat; after that, only new, edited or deleted entries are sent.
- Where it goes: straight from your phone to that provider, billed to your key. Spyte has no AI server and never sees your questions, data or answers.
- Team owners: a team owner can ask AI about the training an athlete shares with them. That athlete's shared data is then sent to the provider the team owner chose, with the team owner's key.
- Keys are stored in your phone's Keychain and never leave it except to sign requests to that provider. Once a day Spyte asks the provider for its list of available models.
- Chats are saved only on your phone. "New chat" deletes them.
The provider handles your data under its own privacy policy and terms. Please read them before adding a key.
6Voice dictation
When you tap the mic in AI, Spyte uses Apple's speech recognition to turn your words into text. It runs on your phone when your device supports it; otherwise Apple processes the audio under Apple's Privacy Policy. The mic is used only while you're dictating, and Spyte never stores recordings.
7Service providers
- Google Firebase (Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Hosting) stores Team Mode data and hosts this website and invite links. See Firebase privacy.
- Sign in with Apple and Google Sign-In, if you choose them, share only your account identifier, email and (if you allow it) name.
- AI providers you add a key for (section 5).
- Apple provides speech recognition (section 6) and the App Store.
Spyte includes no analytics, advertising or crash-reporting software.
8How long data is kept
- Team chat: 7 days, then deleted.
- Shared training, goals and profile: while you're on a team. Leave or get removed, and your shared training is deleted from it.
- Workouts: until the team owner deletes them or closes the team.
- AI chats and keys: on your phone until you start a new chat, remove the key, or delete the app.
- Your account: until you delete it.
9Deleting your data
- Stop sharing: Team Mode → STOP SHARING removes you from your team and deletes what you shared.
- Delete your account: Profile → DELETE ACCOUNT. This permanently deletes your profile, everything you shared, your sign-in account and, for a team owner, the team with its chat and workouts. You may be asked to sign in once more. With Sign in with Apple, Spyte also revokes its access.
- AI: remove keys in AI KEYS; tap ⟳ in a chat to delete it.
- On your phone: your training log stays after account deletion. Delete entries in the app, or delete the app.
You can also email us (section 15) to ask for deletion.
10Purchases
Spyte doesn't currently sell anything in the app. If paid features are added, Apple will process payments and Spyte will never see your payment details. AI usage is billed by your AI provider, not by Spyte.
11Exporting your data
You can export your training and race history to a file with the iOS share sheet. That happens only when you choose to, and you decide where the file goes.
12Third-party links
Spyte links to our Discord, AI providers' key pages, and email. Anything you do there falls under that service's own privacy practices.
13Children's privacy
Anyone can use Spyte without an account. Team Mode and AI need an account or an AI key; if you're under 13 (or the minimum age where you live), use them only with a parent's or guardian's permission. If you think a child shared data without permission, contact us and we'll delete it.
14Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update this page and its effective date. Significant changes will also appear in the app's release notes.
