Privacy policy
Last updated November 2026
Ember is published by Danny White, doing business as Summit Point Studio ("we"). This policy explains what Ember reads and what happens to it.
What Ember reads
With your permission, Ember reads the following from Apple Health on your iPhone: heart rate variability, resting heart rate, heart rate, sleep, active energy, workouts, and the sex and date of birth in your Health profile. If you turn on cycle-aware scoring, it also reads menstrual flow from Cycle Tracking to estimate your cycle phase. It also stores what you type into the app: your name, sex, gym name, workouts per week, typical workout length, goal, age, body weight, optional tested max heart rate, pregnancy or postpartum status and due date if you turn on pregnancy mode, daily workout selections, how you feel, and post-workout effort ratings.
Where it goes
Your recovery data stays on your iPhone. Ember has no account, no analytics and no advertising.
Ask Ember (Ember Pro). When you ask Ember a question, the app sends your question, the last few messages of that conversation, and today's numbers to our Ask Ember server. Those numbers are your recovery score and readings, today's targets and workout, how you feel, sleep, and profile basics such as goal, age, sex and heart rate zones. If you turn on cycle-aware scoring, your cycle phase is included. If you turn on pregnancy mode, your week of pregnancy or postpartum is included. Your name is never sent. Our server passes this to Anthropic, which provides the AI model, to write the answer. We don't use it for advertising, our server doesn't store or log it, and under Anthropic's commercial terms it isn't used to train their models. Before anything is sent, Ember shows you exactly what will be shared and with whom and asks your permission. Nothing is sent unless you allow it and ask a question. You can withdraw permission at any time in the app under You, then Ask Ember.
Apple Watch. Workouts you record with Ember on Apple Watch are saved to Apple Health, along with the heart rate recorded during them. The watch sends a short workout summary to Ember on your iPhone. Ember writes nothing else to Apple Health. Today's score and targets are also kept on your iPhone and watch so Ember's widgets can show them. They never leave your devices.
Purchases. Ember Pro subscriptions are handled by Apple. We never see your payment details.
Sharing
We do not sell your data. The only time health or fitness data leaves your devices is Ask Ember: with your permission, today's numbers go to our Ask Ember server and Anthropic to answer your question, as described above. We share it with no one else, and health data is never used for advertising or marketing.
Deleting your data
Delete the app from your iPhone and Apple Watch to remove everything Ember stored. Workouts you recorded stay in Apple Health until you delete them there. You can turn off Ember's access at any time in the Health app under Sharing, then Apps.
Not medical advice
Ember provides general fitness guidance. It is not a medical device and doesn't diagnose or treat any condition. Talk to your doctor before changing your training if you have a heart condition or another health concern.
Children
Ember is not intended for anyone under 18.
