BellCount ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use the BellCount mobile application and related services (collectively, the "Service").

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Collect

1.3 Camera and Sensor Data

BellCount uses your device's camera to detect and count exercise repetitions. Camera data is processed on-device in real time and is not stored on our servers, transmitted to third parties, or retained after processing. Camera data is only stored locally on your device when you choose to record a session, and it is not shared with third parties unless you explicitly choose to export a video.

BellCount may also connect to compatible Bluetooth heart rate sensors and chest straps to collect heart rate data during training sessions. This data is processed locally and used solely for workout tracking and performance analysis within the app.

Exported videos remain under the user's control and are only stored or shared when the user explicitly chooses to save or distribute them.

1.4 Health and Fitness Data

If you choose to connect Apple Health, Apple Watch, or compatible heart rate sensors, BellCount may access fitness and workout data such as heart rate, workout sessions, and related fitness metrics.

This data is used solely to provide workout tracking, analysis, and training features within the app.

Health data is never sold, used for advertising purposes, or shared with third parties without your explicit consent.

BellCount does not use HealthKit data for advertising, marketing, profiling, or any purpose unrelated to providing health and fitness functionality.

You can manage BellCount's access to Apple Health at any time through your iPhone's Settings > Health > Data Access & Devices.
