Mind Over Muscle Privacy Policy
Mind Over Muscle (iOS app and sedatozturk.me/mind-over-muscle) is an educational and training product by Sport Psychologist Sedat Öztürk. This policy explains what the app collects, how it is used and what your rights are. The data controller is Sedat Öztürk.
1. Data collected
Access code and account: your personal access code and an account identifier linked to it. No name, email, phone number, location or advertising identifier is requested.
Profile: optional role tags, sport, language, optional age and gender ("prefer not to say" is available), an optional username and an optional profile photo (stored downscaled).
Exercise results: exercise name, settings, duration, accuracy- and reaction-time-type metrics, date and the platform used (iOS/web).
Performance Profile Workshop: the skill names, ratings (current, target, importance) and target date you enter; the result is kept on the phone and on the server.
Community content: your posts, replies, likes, reports and the users you block. In "anonymous" posts your name is hidden from other users; the moderator, Sedat Öztürk, can see the posting account. Posts and replies are machine-translated on the server for readers who use the app in the other language (Cloudflare Workers AI); the translation is stored on the same server and deleted with the content.
Exercise with a friend: when you share an invite code, your username (or a short alias) and the result of that exercise are shown only to the person you invited.
Notifications: if you enable notifications, a device push token and your notification preferences.
Code request form: if you request a code before signing in, the contact detail, name and note you provide. These are used only to send you a code and are deleted within 30 days of being handled. IP addresses are not stored; only a one-way daily digest is kept for the request limit.
2. Purposes
Comparing your results with your own history, keeping that history across web and iOS, running the community and friend features, sending notifications (only if you turn them on) and anonymous aggregate statistics to improve the product. Data is not used for advertising, profiling or tracking.
3. Sharing and hosting
Data is not sold or shared with third parties. Hosting runs on Cloudflare, Inc. infrastructure. Book covers and film posters are loaded from Open Library, Wikimedia and TMDB; those requests contain only the image address. Notifications are delivered through Apple's push service. The app contains no third-party analytics or advertising software.
4. Retention and deletion
Your data is kept while your account is open. You can delete your account yourself in the app under Settings → Delete my account and data: your exercise history, profile, photo, push token and community content are deleted and your access code is closed. You can export your data as JSON from Settings. Deletion and other requests can also be made through the contact form.
5. Community
Community posts are visible to other users. There is zero tolerance for insults, harassment and discrimination; reported content is reviewed and removed within 24 hours. Every user can report content and block other users.
6. Children
The product is not designed for children under 13. Parental awareness is recommended for young athletes.
7. Not a diagnosis
Mind Over Muscle is not a medical device, a diagnostic tool or a substitute for psychological or medical care. Exercise results must not be interpreted as a clinical diagnosis, an attention assessment or talent identification.
8. Your rights and contact
You can exercise your rights (access, correction, deletion, objection) in the app or through the contact form. Requests are answered within 30 days.
