ASCEND is a privacy-first bodyweight-fitness app. Your training data stays on your device. There is no user account and no sign-up required to train. We never sell your data.
Everything about your training — daily quests, reps you enter, rank, level, streak and settings — is stored exclusively on your device and is never transmitted to us or any third party.
If you use the optional Friends/Guild and Leaderboard features, a small "rank card" is stored in Google Firebase (Cloud Firestore) so you and your friends can compare ranks. It contains only the display name you choose (a nickname — no real name required), your current rank, stage and streak, and a random app-generated ID. It contains no account, email, phone number, contacts or real identity. To enable this the app signs you in anonymously (Firebase Anonymous Authentication) — no email, no password. If you never use these features, none of this data leaves your device.
To keep the app stable and improve it, the app uses Google Firebase services:
This data is processed by Google under the Google Privacy Policy.
The optional one-time Lifetime purchase is handled by Google Play (Android) or the App Store (iOS). Purchase/entitlement handling uses RevenueCat, which processes only a purchase/receipt identifier — not personal data. All payment data is processed exclusively by Google or Apple. We do not store payment information.
The app contains no ads and no advertising trackers.
Local data: Uninstalling the app permanently removes all data stored on your device (training progress, ranks, streak, settings). You can also export/import your progress as a local backup.
Cloud rank card (Friends & Leaderboard): If you used the optional Friends/Guild or Leaderboard features, a small "rank card" (your chosen nickname, rank, stage, streak and a random app-generated ID) is stored in Google Firebase. To delete it, you can:
Data that is deleted: your cloud rank card (nickname, rank, stage, streak, random app ID) and all local on-device data. Data that may be retained: anonymized, aggregated diagnostics/analytics (Firebase Crashlytics/Analytics) that cannot be linked to you personally; we keep no personal identity data.
This app is not directed at children under 13 years of age.
