These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the Culturista app and the culturista.app website (together, the “Service”), provided by Miguel Angel Perez Colula (“Culturista,” “we,” or “us”). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. The Service
Culturista is a workout tracker for logging training, following programs, and tracking progress, personal records, and body weight.
Today, every feature is available without payment. We may add, change, limit, or remove features at any time, including which features are free and which require payment, whether a free version is offered and what it includes, and the contribution program and its amounts. Descriptions such as “free” or “every feature” on our website, in the App Store, or in the app describe Culturista when they are made and are not commitments that pricing or features will stay the same. If a change materially affects you, we will give notice in the app or on this website before it takes effect, unless it is needed sooner for legal, security, or safety reasons.
2. Eligibility and Your Account
You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age required where you live) to use Culturista. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use Culturista only with the permission of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to these Terms for you. The app requires an account, created with Sign in with Apple. You are responsible for activity under your account and for keeping your Apple Account secure. You can delete your account at any time in the app. Deleting your account or the app does not cancel a contribution (section 4).
3. Health and Fitness Disclaimer
Please read this section carefully.
Culturista is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice. Workout programs, exercise guides, weight suggestions, body-weight trends, goal forecasts, and BMI figures are for general information only.
Consult a professional: Talk to your physician or a qualified health professional before starting any exercise program or changing your diet or body weight, especially if you have a health condition or injury.
Exercise at your own risk: Physical exercise carries inherent risks, including injury. You voluntarily assume all risks of any exercise you perform.
Your judgment comes first: Smart warm-up and drop-set calculations, Progression Assist suggestions, and goal forecasts are algorithmic estimates. Confirm that any weight or target is safe and appropriate for you before you act on it.
BMI has limits: BMI does not account for muscle mass, age, sex, or other factors.
Stop if something feels wrong: Stop exercising if you feel pain, dizziness, or discomfort. In an emergency, contact emergency services.
4. Contributions
You may choose to support Culturista’s development with an optional monthly contribution. Contributions do not unlock features: people who contribute and people who don’t get the same features. This is how contributions work today; section 1 explains how that may change.
Billing: Contributions are auto-renewing monthly subscriptions purchased through the App Store and charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase, in your local currency.
Renewal: A contribution renews automatically each month unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period.
Changes: You can change your contribution amount in the app (tap the profile icon on the Home tab to open Settings, then choose Support Culturista). Changes between contribution amounts take effect right away, and Apple handles any prorated credit for your previous amount. If you’re moving from an earlier plan, the new amount starts when that plan next renews.
Cancellation: You can cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
Deleting doesn’t cancel: Deleting the app or your account does not cancel a contribution. Cancel it in your App Store account settings.
Refunds: Apple handles payments, and refund requests are subject to Apple’s policies at reportaproblem.apple.com.
Price changes: We may change the contribution amounts we offer. Apple notifies you of price changes to an existing contribution as its policies require.
Earlier plans: If you subscribed to a previous Culturista plan, it continues to renew under its App Store terms until you cancel, and it counts as a contribution.
Not a donation: A contribution is a subscription purchase. It is not a charitable donation, is not tax-deductible, and does not give you ownership or other rights in Culturista.
Your consumer rights: If we make a change that harms what you pay for in more than a minor way, we will tell you in advance, and you can cancel. Mandatory consumer laws where you live may give you more rights.
5. Acceptable Use
You agree not to misuse the Service. For example, you will not interfere with or disrupt the Service or its servers; try to access other people’s accounts or data; reverse engineer the app except where the law allows it; use the Service for unlawful purposes; or send feedback that is abusive, infringing, or unlawful.
6. Your Content and Feedback
You own the training data you create. It is kept on your device and, if cloud storage is turned on for your Apple Account, a copy syncs to your private cloud storage so it survives losing or replacing a device. Sync mirrors your changes, including deletions, and we cannot restore data you delete.
If you send us feedback or suggestions, you allow us to use them to improve Culturista without any obligation to you.
7. Intellectual Property
The Service, including its design, software, exercise library, images, videos, and branding, belongs to Culturista or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the app for your own non-commercial purposes, subject to these Terms and Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the “Standard EULA”). If these Terms conflict with the Standard EULA about your license to use the app, the Standard EULA controls for that license; these Terms govern everything else.
These Terms are between you and Culturista, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or its content, maintenance, support, or any claims relating to it. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
8. Third-Party Services
The Service relies on third-party services, including Sign in with Apple, the App Store, Screen Time, and the private cloud storage linked to your Apple Account. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms.
Focus Mode relies on Apple’s Screen Time framework, and iOS applies and removes the restrictions. We do not warrant that Focus Mode will restrict every app you choose or start and stop at a particular time. Do not rely on it for parental controls, safety, or access to emergency or essential services. If an app stays restricted, end your workout, reset Focus Mode in the app, or turn off Screen Time access for Culturista in Settings.
9. Disclaimers
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT YOUR DATA WILL NOT BE LOST.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions. If you are a consumer, you may have statutory rights that these Terms cannot change.
10. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CULTURISTA WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Culturista’s total liability will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid in contributions in the twelve (12) months before the claim or US $50. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for gross negligence or willful misconduct. If you are a consumer in the EEA or UK, we are responsible for foreseeable loss or damage caused by our breach of these Terms or our failure to use reasonable care and skill.
11. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify Culturista against third-party claims, and related losses and reasonable legal fees, arising from your breach of these Terms or your misuse of the Service. This section does not apply to consumers where consumer protection law prohibits it.
12. Termination
You may stop using Culturista and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if you violate these Terms, or where needed to comply with the law or to protect the Service or its users. Termination does not entitle you to a refund unless the law or Apple’s policies require one. Sections 3, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 14, and 16 survive termination.
13. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms. We will post the updated Terms on this page and update the “Last updated” date. If a change is material, we will give notice in the app or on this website before it takes effect. Continuing to use the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
14. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law provisions. Disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in King County, Washington, except where the law of the place you live gives you the right to bring a claim there. If you are a consumer, this section does not take away the protection of mandatory laws of the country where you live. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
Before filing a claim, please contact us at support@culturista.app so we can try to resolve it informally.
15. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information.
16. General
These Terms, together with any terms shown to you at purchase, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service. If any part is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. If we don’t enforce a provision, we don’t waive our right to enforce it later. We may transfer these Terms as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets in a way that does not reduce your rights; you may not transfer your rights without our written consent. We are not responsible for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
17. Contact
Questions about these Terms? In the app, tap the profile icon at the top of the Home tab to open Settings, then choose Send Feedback, or, without an account, email support@culturista.app. You can also message us on X at @appculturista.
Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 12, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what information Culturista, developed by Miguel Angel Perez Colula (“Culturista,” “we,” or “us”), collects when you use the Culturista app and the culturista.app website, how we use it, and the choices you have.
1. Summary
Your account uses Sign in with Apple. Apple gives us an account identifier and an email address so your account works.
Your workouts, programs, exercises, and body-weight entries are kept on your device and, if you turn it on, in your private cloud storage linked to your Apple Account. We cannot access that data.
If you send feedback, we receive what you write plus basic technical details such as the app version.
We do not sell your data, we do not show ads, and we do not track you across other companies’ apps or websites. Section 12 explains how our practices may change.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Account information
Culturista requires an account, and accounts are created with Sign in with Apple. When you sign in, Apple shares with us:
An account identifier: a unique ID that links you to your Culturista account.
Your email address: either your own address or, if you choose Hide My Email, a private relay address that forwards to you.
We keep these in a basic account record, along with the dates your account was created and last signed in. Apple may ask whether to share your name. We do not store or use it.
2.2 Feedback you send
If you use Send Feedback, Report a Bug, or Suggest a Feature, we receive the text you enter and the type of feedback, together with technical details that help us understand the issue: app version and build number, iOS version, device type (for example, “iPhone” or “iPad”), and language and region setting. Feedback is linked to your account identifier and the time you send it. Please don’t include health details or other sensitive information unless you want us to have it.
2.3 Connections to our service providers
When the app signs you in or keeps you signed in, sends feedback, or plays an exercise video, it connects to servers run by our service providers for hosting and content delivery. As with any internet service, those servers receive your device’s IP address as part of the connection. Our account provider also keeps security logs of sign-ins, such as the time, IP address, device or app details, and your account email and identifier. These logs are kept for a limited period to protect accounts, and that period can continue after you delete your account. We do not use IP addresses to build profiles or determine your location.
2.4 The website
The culturista.app website does not use cookies, analytics, or third-party trackers. Our hosting provider receives your IP address and basic request details, such as browser type, when you visit.
2.5 Emails you send us
If you email us, we receive your email address, your message, and anything you attach, and we use them to respond to you.
2.6 Diagnostics from Apple
If you choose to share analytics with app developers in your device settings, Apple may give us crash reports and app usage statistics under Apple’s terms. The app also writes diagnostic messages to your device’s log; we receive them only if you send them to us.
3. Information That Stays Under Your Control
3.1 Training data
Workouts, sets, weights, reps, programs, folders, custom exercises and their photos, personal records, body-weight entries, weight goals, and folder cover images are kept on your device. If you turn on cloud storage for your Apple Account, this data also syncs to your private cloud storage so it is available on your other devices. That storage belongs to your Apple Account, and we cannot view or access it.
When you add a photo, the system photo picker gives the app only the photos you choose. If you create a cover image with Apple’s Image Playground, the image is created by Image Playground and saved with your training data.
Your height, units, theme, and other settings stay on your device, except your Focus Mode selection (section 3.2). Body mass index (BMI), weight trends, and goal forecasts are calculated on your device and are not stored.
If you allow notifications, the app schedules rest-timer alerts on your device. Live Activities show workout details on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, where anyone who can see your device can see them and use their controls, such as logging a set. We do not send notifications or Live Activity updates from our servers.
3.2 Focus Mode
Focus Mode uses Apple’s Screen Time framework to block the apps you choose while you train. Apple gives the app only tokens that represent your selection; they do not reveal which apps you chose or how you use them. These tokens are kept on your device and, if you turn on cloud storage for your Apple Account, in your private cloud storage so your selection is available on your other devices.
3.3 Contributions
Contributions are purchased and managed through Apple’s App Store. Apple processes the payment. We do not receive your payment details, and your contribution status is checked on your device.
Apple gives us sales and subscription reports, such as the product, price, country or region, and dates. Deleting your account or the app does not cancel a contribution; cancel it in your App Store account settings.
4. How We Use Information
To create and secure your account and keep you signed in.
To read, respond to, and act on feedback, bug reports, and emails.
To operate, maintain, and improve Culturista.
To comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.
We do not use your information for advertising.
4.1 Legal bases in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland
Contract: creating, securing, and deleting your account, keeping you signed in, and delivering exercise videos.
Legitimate interests: responding to feedback and emails, fixing bugs, improving Culturista, and keeping Culturista and its users secure, including through security and website logs. You can object to this processing.
Legal obligation: complying with the law and lawful requests, including keeping financial records such as Apple’s sales reports.
We do not make decisions about you based solely on automated processing that have legal or similarly significant effects. Suggestions, trends, and forecasts are calculations the app makes on your device.
5. What We Don’t Do
This section describes our practices as of the “Last updated” date. Section 12 explains how they may change.
We do not sell or rent your personal information.
We do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
We do not show ads or share information with advertisers or data brokers.
We do not track you across apps and websites owned by other companies, and we do not use advertising identifiers.
The app does not include third-party analytics, advertising, or crash-reporting tools.
6. How Information Is Shared
We share information only:
With service providers that host our account and feedback systems, our email, and this website, and deliver exercise videos. They process information on our behalf, under our instructions and data-protection terms with us, and are required to protect it at least as well as this policy describes.
With Apple, as needed to provide Sign in with Apple, App Store purchases, and your private cloud storage, under Apple’s own privacy policy.
When required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of our users, the public, or Culturista.
If Culturista is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, and it will remain subject to this policy.
7. Retention and Deletion
We keep your account information and feedback for as long as your account exists.
You can delete your account at any time in the app: tap the profile icon at the top of the Home tab to open Settings, then choose Delete Account. When you delete your account, we delete your account record, including your email address and account identifier, and all feedback linked to it. Deletion is permanent.
Copies in our service providers’ routine backups are removed on their normal backup schedules. Security logs (section 2.3) and website request logs (section 2.4) are kept only as long as needed to protect accounts and Culturista, and then deleted. We keep emails you send us as long as needed to handle your request and any follow-up. We may keep information longer where the law requires it or to establish or defend legal claims. Deleting your account does not cancel a contribution.
Deleting your account does not remove training data kept on your device or in your private cloud storage, because we cannot access it. To remove that data, delete the app, then delete Culturista’s data from your Apple Account’s cloud storage (on iPhone, open Settings, tap your name, and manage your storage). You can also stop using Sign in with Apple with Culturista from your Apple Account settings.
8. Children’s Privacy
Culturista is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the minimum age required where they live). If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
9. International Users
Culturista is based in the United States, and our service providers may process information in the United States and other countries whose data-protection laws differ from those where you live. When personal information from the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland is transferred to those countries, we rely on safeguards recognized by law, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses and their UK and Swiss equivalents. Contact us to learn more.
10. Your Choices and Rights
You can delete your account in the app at any time. Depending on where you live, you may also have the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing.
EEA, UK, and Switzerland: You can object to processing based on our legitimate interests and complain to your local data-protection authority.
Consumer health data: Washington residents and others covered by consumer health data laws can read our Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy.
To make a request, email support@culturista.app with the subject “Privacy request.” We may need to verify your identity, for example by confirming you control your account email. We respond within the time the law requires. If we decline, you can appeal by replying to our decision. We cannot access, correct, or delete training data in your private cloud storage for you; use the steps in section 7. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.
11. Security
We use reasonable safeguards to protect your information, including encrypted connections and access controls that limit each account to its own data. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
12. Changes to This Policy
Our app and our data practices may change. For example, we may collect new types of information, keep copies of training data on our or our service providers’ servers to offer features such as backup or web access, add analytics or crash-reporting tools, or work with new service providers. When we update this policy, we will post the new version on this page and update the “Last updated” date. Before a significant change takes effect, we will also give notice in the app or on this website. Where the law requires your consent, we will ask for it first; continuing to use Culturista does not count as that consent.
13. Contact
