Privacy Policy

Effective 17 October 2026

This policy explains how the Baral app ("Baral", "we", "us") handles your information. Baral is operated by Murtaza Kachwalla in Western Australia, Australia. We handle personal information in line with the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

1. Information stored on your device

Everything you enter into Baral is stored locally on your device. This includes workout plans, completed exercises, personal records, statistics and progress photos. We cannot see or access this data. If you delete the app, this data is deleted with it, unless it is included in your own device backup (for example, iCloud Backup), which is managed by Apple.

2. Photos and camera

If you add progress photos, Baral asks for permission to use your camera or photo library. Photos you add are stored on your device only. You can change these permissions at any time in your device's Settings.

3. Sign in with Apple

If Baral offers Sign in with Apple and you choose to use it, Apple handles the sign-in. Apple may share a unique identifier with the app and, if you allow it, your name and an email address (which can be a private relay address that hides your real email). We use this only to identify your account within Baral. We never receive your Apple ID password.

4. Subscriptions and purchases

Baral subscriptions and free trials are processed by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive your payment card details. Apple tells us whether a subscription is active so we can unlock the right features. Apple's handling of your information is covered by Apple's Privacy Policy.

5. The Baral shop

If you buy products through the shop in the app, your order is processed by Shopify, our store provider. To fulfil your order, Shopify collects the details you enter at checkout, such as your name, email, shipping address and payment information. We receive the order details needed to ship your products and provide customer service. We do not see or store your full payment card details. Shopify's handling of your information is covered by Shopify's Privacy Policy.

6. Support messages

If you contact us, including through the support chat in the app, we receive your message, any screenshots or videos you attach, and the contact details needed to reply to you. We use this only to answer your request and improve the app. In-app support chat history is stored on your device.

7. What we don't do

• We don't sell or rent your personal information.
• We don't use advertising or advertising identifiers.
• We don't track you across apps or websites owned by other companies.

8. Sharing

We share information only with the service providers described above (Apple and Shopify) to provide the app, subscriptions, shop orders and support, or where the law requires it. Some of these providers may store information outside Australia, including in the United States.

9. Keeping information

Data on your device stays there until you delete it or the app. Support emails are kept only as long as needed to resolve your request and for our records. Shop order records are kept as required for tax and consumer law purposes.

10. Your choices and rights

• Delete your workout data at any time by deleting it in the app or deleting the app.
• Manage camera and photo permissions in your device Settings.
• Ask us what personal information we hold about you, or ask us to correct or delete it, by emailing us.

If you have a privacy concern, contact us first and we'll respond within 30 days. If you're not satisfied, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.

11. Children

Baral is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as Baral changes. The effective date at the top shows when it was last updated. Significant changes will be noted in the app or on this page.
