This Privacy Policy explains how Yauhen Bahdanovich, an individual developer in the Republic of Belarus (“I,” “me,” or “the developer”), handles information in the Pushanova app for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch (the “App”).
If you have questions, contact info@genebogdanovich.com.
Pushanova does not require an account. There is no sign-up, no username, and no social-media login.
This section describes Pushanova’s use of Apple’s TrueDepth camera and ARKit face tracking. It is the section that addresses collection, use, disclosure, sharing, retention, deletion, and storage of face data.
On iPhone and iPad models that support TrueDepth, Pushanova may use the TrueDepth camera and ARKit face tracking during a workout to measure the distance between the user’s face and the device, together with a timestamp for each measurement.
That distance is a number (in meters). Pushanova uses it to detect changes in distance while the user performs push-ups, and to count repetitions.
Pushanova does not use the TrueDepth API to:
The App does not store images or video from the TrueDepth camera as part of push-up detection.
Apple Watch does not use the TrueDepth camera. Watch-based counting uses motion sensors and HealthKit, not TrueDepth and not face data.
Face-to-device distance and timestamps are used only to:
Face data is not used for advertising, advertising measurement, remarketing, profiling for marketing, or analytics that identify a person. It is not used to track users across other companies’ apps or websites. It is not sold. It is not shared with partners, contractors, laboratories, or data brokers.
During an active workout, distance values are processed on the user’s device in real time.
If the workout is saved, the distance waveform (face-to-device distance + timestamp) is stored on the user’s device as part of that workout record, together with other workout data such as repetition counts and, where applicable, motion samples.
If iCloud / CloudKit sync is enabled for the App, that same workout record — including the face-distance waveform — may be stored in the user’s own iCloud account on Apple’s servers so it can appear on the user’s other devices. That is the user’s iCloud storage, not a public feed, and not a database I browse for all users.
I do not operate a Pushanova server that receives TrueDepth data automatically.
Face data is not shared with third parties for their own purposes.
The only situations in which face-distance data can leave the user’s device besides the user’s own iCloud sync are:
Face-distance data is not sent to Firebase, Google Analytics, Crashlytics, advertisers, or any other analytics or advertising SDK.
On the user’s device (and in the user’s iCloud, if sync is on), the face-distance waveform is kept for as long as the workout is kept. It is retained so the App can show history and so future counting, diagnostic, and rep-quality features can use that session’s measurements.
I do not receive that waveform unless the user emails it.
If the user emails a diagnostic report that includes face-distance data, I keep that copy only to debug and improve push-up detection and related App functionality, and for as long as that purpose reasonably requires.
The user can delete a workout in Pushanova. Deleting the workout deletes the stored face-distance waveform for that workout from the App’s on-device store. If iCloud sync is enabled, deletion is also propagated according to Apple’s iCloud / CloudKit behavior.
Uninstalling the App removes the App’s on-device data. Data already in the user’s iCloud may remain until the user deletes it there or the iCloud data is otherwise removed under Apple’s rules.
If the user emailed me a diagnostic report and wants that copy deleted, they can email info@genebogdanovich.com. I will delete the copy I control. I cannot delete copies that remain only on the user’s device, in the user’s email sent-mail, or in the user’s iCloud account.
Post-workout photos the user takes with the regular camera, HealthKit data, Watch motion data, and optional featuring submissions are not TrueDepth face data. They are described in the sections below.
The App stores workout history the user creates, which may include:
This data is stored on the user’s device and may sync via the user’s iCloud account. I do not receive it automatically.
If the user emails me (support, a detection report, or a featuring submission), I receive whatever they include: message text, email address, and any attachments. I use that to respond, to operate and improve the App, and — for featuring submissions — as described in Section 4.
The App may ask iOS or watchOS for camera, motion, Health, notifications, or photo-library (add-only) access. Those systems gate the data. Denying a permission may disable the related feature (for example, automatic TrueDepth counting without camera access).
With the user’s permission, Pushanova may:
Write to Apple Health
Read from Apple Health
Health data is used to run and save workouts, show heart-rate and energy information, and keep the App’s log consistent with Apple Health when the user has allowed that.
HealthKit data is not used for advertising or sold to data brokers. It is not shared with third parties except Apple Health on the user’s device (and the user’s iCloud Health data, if the user uses that Apple feature) and except copies the user explicitly emails in a diagnostic report (which may include workout metadata; diagnostic reports are not a dump of the user’s full Health database).
The user can change Health access in iOS or watchOS Settings. Deleting a workout in Pushanova may also delete the related HealthKit workout when the App is allowed to do so.
Pushanova can take or use a post-workout photo with the regular camera. That is separate from TrueDepth push-up counting. TrueDepth counting does not take or store that photo.
Photos stay on the user’s device unless the user shares them through the system share sheet, saves them to the photo library, or emails a featuring submission.
Featuring is optional. The App works without it.
If the user emails a featuring submission to info@genebogdanovich.com, they may include a photo and, if they choose, their name, city, and a short message. By submitting, they ask me to consider displaying that content on Pushanova’s official social media accounts (including Instagram) and similar official channels. Being featured is not guaranteed. Valid submissions that meet the stated requirements may receive a promo code for Pushanova Premium, as described in the App.
Age for submissions. Sending a photo, name, city, or message is not allowed for young children. You must be at least 16 years old to submit. If you are 13 to 15, you may submit only with permission from a parent or legal guardian, and only where local law allows that. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and any other region where the digital age of consent is 16 (or higher), you must meet that age to submit. Pushanova is rated 4+ for general use of the App; that rating does not allow children to send personal photos or contact details for public posting.
The user may request removal of a submission they sent by emailing info@genebogdanovich.com. I will remove it from channels I control. I cannot control copies other people have already saved, or a platform’s own backup or cache after a post is removed.
The App uses Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics (Google) for standard product analytics and crash reporting. This may include how features are used, device type, OS version, language, and crash or performance diagnostics.
These services are not given TrueDepth data, face-distance waveforms, photos, or Health samples. They are not used to track the user across third-party apps and websites for advertising. I do not use them to sell personal information.
Google’s processing is also described in Google’s privacy policy.
Optional Pushanova Premium and other in-app purchases are processed by Apple. I do not receive the user’s full payment card details. The App may receive purchase or subscription status from Apple so it can unlock paid features. Refunds and billing are handled by Apple.
If the user allows notifications, Pushanova may schedule local reminders on the device (for example, workout reminders). Those notifications are not an excuse to collect extra personal data on a server.
I do not sell personal information.
I share information only as follows:
I do not share face data with advertisers or business partners.
| Data | Where it is stored | How long it is kept | How to delete |
|---|---|---|---|
| Face-distance waveform | User’s device; user’s iCloud if sync is on | Until the workout is deleted | Delete the workout in the App; iCloud follows Apple’s sync; email me if you also sent a report |
| Other workout records | Same | Until deleted | Same |
| HealthKit copies | Apple Health on the user’s devices / Apple’s Health iCloud if the user uses it | Under the user’s Health settings and Apple’s rules | Health app / Settings, and in-App workout delete when permitted |
| Diagnostic email I receive | My email inbox | As long as reasonably needed to improve detection and the App | Email info@genebogdanovich.com |
| Featuring submission | My email; possibly official social accounts | Until removed on request, or as long as the post remains if the user has not asked to take it down | Email a removal request |
| Analytics / crash logs | Google Firebase | Per Google’s and my then-current analytics retention | Limited; these are not used to identify you as a customer account, because the App has no account |
Pushanova is a general-audience app. Its App Store age rating is 4+. It is not directed at children under 13, and I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
TrueDepth is not used to identify children. Distance measurements stay on the user’s device and, if enabled, the user’s iCloud. I do not receive them unless someone emails a report.
I do not want diagnostic reports or featuring submissions from children under 13. If I learn that I received personal information from a child under 13, I will delete the copy I control.
Featuring submissions have a higher age rule. See Section 4 (16+, with a limited 13–15 parental-permission rule only where local law allows it, and 16+ where that is the digital age of consent).
Parents or guardians who believe a child sent information to info@genebogdanovich.com should write to that address.
Depending on where you live (including the EEA, United Kingdom, and similar regimes), you may have the right to ask what personal information I hold, to correct it, to delete it, to restrict or object to certain processing, or to complain to a data-protection authority.
Because Pushanova has no user accounts, most App data is only on your device and in your Apple accounts (iCloud, Health, App Store). I can act on copies I actually received, such as emails.
To make a request, email info@genebogdanovich.com. I may need enough detail to find the message (for example, the address you wrote from and the approximate date).
I do not sell personal information, including as that idea is used under California law.
I am based in the Republic of Belarus. If you email me, or if Apple or Google process data as described above, information may be processed in Belarus, in the United States, in the European Union, or in other countries where those providers operate. Those places may have different data-protection laws from your country.
The App may link to Instagram, the App Store, or other sites I do not control. Their privacy practices are their own.
I may update this Privacy Policy. The “Last updated” date will change when I do. The current version is the one published at the URL provided in the App Store listing and in the App.
