Your data is yours.
We mean it.

Your device, your iCloud, that's it.

When you use Lift Banana, your workout data - exercises, sets, weights, reps, notes, and history - is stored on your iPhone using Apple's on-device database. If you enable iCloud sync, it's also stored in your own iCloud account, synced through Apple's infrastructure. Banana Systems never sees your workout data.

This includes:

• All workout logs and history
• Custom exercises and routines
• Personal records and post-workout reports
• Your settings and preferences
• Rest timer configuration

iCloud sync uses your existing Apple ID and Apple's CloudKit framework. Banana Systems has no access to data stored in your iCloud account. Apple's own privacy policy governs that data.

Read-only. Nothing written back.

Lift Banana optionally integrates with Apple Health (HealthKit). Data such as heart rate and activity metrics may be displayed inside the app to give you more context around your workouts.

• This integration is read-only
• Lift Banana does not write any data to Apple Health
• Health data remains managed by Apple and is never sent to Banana Systems

No account required

Lift Banana does not require you to create an account, provide an email address, or sign in to any Banana Systems service to use the core app. You open the app and start logging. That's it.

Optional iCloud sync uses your existing Apple ID - not a separate Lift Banana account - and is entirely your choice to enable or disable at any time.

Private, anonymous analytics only

Lift Banana collects minimal, privacy-focused analytics to improve the app, such as crash reports and basic feature usage (e.g. screens viewed, actions taken). This is strictly to make the app better, not to profile you.

This data:

• Does not include personal information
• Is not linked to your identity, Apple ID, or workout data
• Is not used for advertising or tracking
• Is never sold or shared with third parties

Analytics data is used only to improve app stability, performance, and features.

Export and import are always free

Lift Banana supports full CSV and JSON export of all your workout data. This feature is available to all users, always, at no cost and behind no paywall. You do not need a Pro upgrade to export or import your own data.

If you decide to stop using Lift Banana, you leave with everything. Your data is yours from day one.

• Export all workouts, exercises, and history as CSV or JSON
• Import your data back at any time
• No platform lock-in
• Works completely offline - no internet connection needed to export

We do not sell your data

Banana Systems does not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise transfer any personal information to third parties. Full stop.

Lift Banana is free to download. The business model is a one-time Pro upgrade for those who want advanced features - not advertising, not data brokering, not subscription pressure.

Optional and under your control

iCloud sync is an optional feature that stores your data in your own iCloud account using Apple's CloudKit framework. Banana Systems does not have access to data stored this way. Apple's own privacy policy governs iCloud data.

• Banana Systems does not have access to this data
• You can enable or disable sync at any time
• Your local data remains on your device regardless

iCloud sync is not required to use the app.
