Privacy Policy

Brolic for iOS · Last updated 3 October 2026

The short version: Brolic needs an account so the leaderboard knows whose lift is whose. Your lifts, first name, username and comments are public to other lifters; your email, last name and bodyweight history are private. No ads, no tracking, no selling data. You can delete everything from the app at any time.

Brolic is a workout tracker and gym leaderboard for iPhone and iPad, made by The Big Head in Edmonton, Alberta. This policy explains what Brolic stores, who can see it, and how to delete it.

What we collect

Your account

Your email address, or the identity Sign in with Apple or Google returns to us. Your email is kept in a private record that other users cannot see.
Your first name, your last name if you give it (it's optional), your username, and a short bio if you write one.
A profile picture only if your Google account provides one.
Your country, taken from your device's region setting (you can change it), and, if you choose, your city. You pick your city from an Apple Maps search; Brolic never reads your GPS location.
Optional: your gender and bodyweight, used for weight classes and strength levels. Your bodyweight log is private; the bodyweight at the time of a lift is saved with that lift so lifters of different sizes can be compared fairly.
Your preferences: kilograms or pounds, and your weekly training target.

Your training

Workouts you log: exercises, sets, weights, reps and times, workout titles and durations.
Personal records and leaderboard entries worked out from those workouts.
Your goals and saved routines.
Comments you post on lifts.
Upvotes and downvotes you give, and the list of users you block.
Whether you allow notifications. Brolic uses them only to tell you when your rest timer ends; they are created on your phone and nothing is sent from a server.
Reports you file (what you reported, the reason, and your account ID), so we can review them.

What we do not collect

No photos, videos, contacts, location (GPS), health data or microphone.
No payment information. Brolic has no in-app purchases.
No advertising identifiers, no tracking, and no third-party analytics or ad SDKs.

Who can see what

Visible to other Brolic users: your first name and the first letter of your last name if you gave one (for example “Sam K.”), your username, bio, profile picture, country and city, the lifts and workouts you log, your leaderboard entries (including the weight class and strength level they are ranked in, and the bodyweight recorded with each lift), vote counts on your lifts, and your comments. Leaderboards are also shown on brolic.io.

Private to you: your email address, your last name (apart from its first letter), your bodyweight log, goals, routines, the list of people you block, reports you file, and your preferences. The app shows how many votes a lift has, not who cast them.

How we use it

To run the app: save your workouts, show your best on each lift, build your weekly report and progress charts.
To rank lifts on the leaderboards, and to remove lifts the community downvotes.
To keep the community safe and enforce our Terms.

We do not sell your data or use it for advertising.

Service providers

Firebase (Google): sign-in and the database that stores your account and workouts.
Apple: Sign in with Apple.
Google: Sign in with Google.
Apple Maps: finding your city when you pick one. The letters you type are sent to Apple to look up matching cities.

Security

Data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest by Firebase. Database rules only let you change your own account and data, and on someone else's lift only your own vote.

Deleting your account

In the app, go to You → gear (Settings) → Delete account. The app asks you to confirm it's you (with Apple, Google or your password), then permanently deletes your account and your workouts, comments, leaderboard entries, goals, routines and bodyweight log. If you used Sign in with Apple, Brolic also gives up its access to your Apple ID. You can also ask us to delete your account by emailing support@brolic.io.

Children

Brolic is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
