Privacy Policy — Powerlifting Power

Last updated: 16 August 2026 · Applies to Powerlifting Power v1.0.0 and later.

This policy applies to Powerlifting Power — both the free version (5-session trial) and Powerlifting Power Pro (they are the same app). Other apps published by BIKINTULIS have their own policies — see the directory.

1. Who we are

BIKINTULIS is an independent developer of Garmin Connect IQ apps. For questions about this policy, use the contact form. Powerlifting Power is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the authors of any referenced training methodology, nor by the International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) — those names are used descriptively only.

2. Summary in plain language

Powerlifting Power runs entirely on your watch. It makes no network or web requests and talks to no server — there is no BIKINTULIS server involved at all.
It reads your heart rate and — and, while Auto rep count is on (it is unless you turn it off) and then only on bodyweight moves — the motion sensor, both on the device during a session; those values are processed locally and recorded into the activity.
Your lifter profile, programs, personal bests and history are stored only on the watch.
Each session is saved as a standard Garmin strength-training activity (FIT), with one lap per set, which your watch syncs to your own Garmin Connect account just like any built-in workout — under Garmin's own policy (see section 7).
It asks for no name, email or account, and contains no advertising or analytics.

3. Permissions this app requests

Permission Why

Sensor (motion) Auto rep count — a Settings toggle that is on by default, and which applies to bodyweight moves only (pull-ups, chin-ups, dips, push-ups, leg raises). While it is on and such a set is live, the app reads the watch’s accelerometer to detect each rep, and stops when the set ends or you pause. The motion samples are turned into a rep count on the watch and discarded; nothing is stored or transmitted. Your heart rate needs no permission at all — it comes from the activity your watch is already recording.

Fit / FitContributor Record the session as a standard Garmin strength-training activity with one lap per set, plus extra fields on the activity itself: total reps, reps per set, the movement name, the weight used, whether the set was made or missed, and total tonnage. Your RPE rating is not among them — it stays on the watch.

Permission	Why
`Sensor` (motion)	Auto rep count — a Settings toggle that is on by default, and which applies to bodyweight moves only (pull-ups, chin-ups, dips, push-ups, leg raises). While it is on and such a set is live, the app reads the watch’s accelerometer to detect each rep, and stops when the set ends or you pause. The motion samples are turned into a rep count on the watch and discarded; nothing is stored or transmitted.

`Fit` / `FitContributor`	Record the session as a standard Garmin strength-training activity with one lap per set, plus extra fields on the activity itself: total reps, reps per set, the movement name, the weight used, whether the set was made or missed, and total tonnage. Your RPE rating is not among them — it stays on the watch.

The app does not request internet/communications, and it does not request location or GPS — Positioning was deliberately left out, because the app has no outdoor running legs and never needs your position.

4. Data stored locally on the watch

Your lifter profile (1RMs and training maxes, bodyweight, kg/lb preference, bar and plate setup).
Your programs, custom sessions and the persistent program cursor (which day you're on).
History and records — per-lift personal bests, e1RM trends, weekly tonnage, session records and Meet Mode attempt boards. Each saved session also keeps its average and maximum heart rate, and the RPE you entered.
The free version additionally keeps a simple session counter for the 5-session trial. It runs on the watch, with no server and no account.

This data stays on the watch and is removed when you uninstall the app.

5. Data sent to a server

None. Powerlifting Power does not send any data off the watch to BIKINTULIS or to any third party — it has no networking code and contacts no server. The only data that ever leaves the watch is the standard Garmin activity (FIT) your watch syncs to your own Garmin Connect account, which is handled entirely by Garmin (see section 7).

6. What this app does NOT collect or send

No name, email address, phone number, postal address, or account credential.
No location or GPS data — the app does not request or read your position at all.
No data sent to BIKINTULIS — there is no server contact whatsoever.
No advertising or analytics SDKs of any kind.

7. Garmin Connect & your Garmin account

The app runs inside Garmin's Connect IQ platform and records a standard activity. When your watch syncs, that activity goes to your Garmin Connect account — exactly like any built-in workout. Garmin's own collection and use of data is governed by Garmin's policy at garmin.com/privacy. BIKINTULIS has no access to your Garmin account, your activities, or anything synced to Garmin Connect.

8. The bikintulis.de website

Separate from the app, when you use the bikintulis.de website itself:

If you leave a comment or review, your name, email, rating and comment text are stored. Your name, rating and comment are published publicly after moderation; your email is never published.
If you use the contact form, your name, email, subject and message are stored privately and used to reply to you. If you attach a photo or video (optional, up to 20 MB), it is stored on the BIKINTULIS server alongside the message and only viewable by the site owner via an authenticated admin panel. The attachment is deleted when the message is deleted.
Your IP address is stored in our database only as a salted SHA-256 hash (rate-limiting / spam prevention), never in raw form there. Raw IP addresses do appear in the standard web-server access log, as they do on any website; those logs are kept for up to 30 days and are used only for security and troubleshooting.
Standard web-server access logs are kept up to 30 days.
No third-party analytics, no advertising, no tracking pixels. The site sets exactly one cookie in total, and only on the Hyrox workout-builder page if you choose to pair a watch there.

9. Legal basis (GDPR)

Because the app itself collects and sends nothing to BIKINTULIS, the only personal data we process relates to the website: your consent (when you submit a comment or contact message) and legitimate interest (IP hashes and server logs, used solely to keep the site secure and operational).

10. Data retention

On the watch: kept until you delete it or uninstall the app. No server copy exists.
Website comments: retained while Powerlifting Power is listed on this site.
Contact messages: retained as long as needed to handle your enquiry, then deleted.
Server access logs: up to 30 days.

11. Your rights

Under the GDPR you can ask to access, correct, or delete data we hold (this only ever concerns website comments/contact messages — the app holds nothing on our side), withdraw consent, object to processing, or lodge a complaint with your data-protection authority. To exercise any right, use the contact form — requests are answered within 30 days.

12. Security

The app makes no network connections, so there is no app-to-server traffic to secure.
Any traffic to the bikintulis.de website is over HTTPS.
No payment data is ever handled by BIKINTULIS — purchases go through the Garmin Connect IQ store.

13. Children

Powerlifting Power is a general-purpose strength-training app, is not directed at children under 13, and does not knowingly collect any data from them (indeed, it collects no personal data from anyone).

14. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated to reflect new features or legal requirements. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the latest change. Continued use after a change indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
