BECOME — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-08-13

BECOME is a personal mind / body / soul upgrade app. This policy explains what it stores, where, and why. In plain terms: your data is yours, most of it lives on your device, and nothing is sold or shared with advertisers.

What BECOME stores

• On your device (browser/app local storage): your workouts and logged sets, journals, ratings, streaks, goals, settings, and app state. This stays on your device unless you create an account.
• In your account (only if you sign up): the same training data is mirrored to a private, per-user record so it follows you to another device. Each user can only read and write their own record.
• Account identity: your email address (for email accounts) or the identifier Apple provides (for Sign in with Apple), used only to authenticate you.

What never leaves your device

Your own Anthropic (Claude) API key (if you add one) and your WHOOP connection tokens are stored only on your device and are never uploaded to our servers or synced to your account. Your journals are private: they are written on your device and are never posted, shared, or made visible to anyone else.

AI features (no setup required)

AI coaching works out of the box. When you use an AI feature without your own API key, your prompt (for example, your logged sets for a debrief) is sent to our server, which forwards it to Anthropic (Claude) to generate the response. Our server holds the AI key so you never need one. To keep this fair and funded:

• A random, anonymous device identifier and a one-way hash of your network address are used only to enforce daily rate limits. Your raw IP address is never stored.
• We store usage counts only — we do not store the content of your prompts or the AI's responses on our server.
• If you add your own Claude API key in Settings, your prompts go directly from your device to Anthropic using your key, bypassing our server entirely.

THE FAMILY (social feed)

Posting to THE FAMILY is optional and requires an account. When you post, the following become publicly visible to other users of the app: your chosen display name, the text you write, and an auto-attached summary of your real activity (for example, your streak count or a personal record). Nothing else from your account or device is shared — never your journals, your logs, or your identity beyond the display name you chose.

• Content is moderated: a server-enforced content filter and posting rate limit, per-post reporting, per-user blocking, and a moderation team that can remove reported content.
• You can delete your own posts at any time; deleting a post also removes it for everyone.
• Deleting your account removes your posts.

Photos

Photos you use for the silhouette feature are processed entirely on your device and never uploaded. If you use an AI avatar feature with your own API key, the photo is sent directly from your device to Anthropic to generate the result and is not stored by us.

Third-party services

• Supabase — authentication, the private per-user data record, and THE FAMILY posts.
• Anthropic (Claude) — generates AI coaching text, via our funded server (default) or directly with your own key (optional), as described above.
• WHOOP — if you connect WHOOP, the app reads your recovery/sleep/strain data to tailor sessions. You can disconnect at any time.

BECOME does not use third-party advertising or analytics SDKs and does not sell personal data.

AI-generated content

Coaching text, debriefs, and portraits are generated by AI from your own logged data and are guidance only — not medical advice. Always train within your limits and consult a professional for health decisions.

Deleting your data

You can delete everything at any time. In the app: Settings → Delete Account permanently removes your synced record, your FAMILY posts, and wipes the data on your device. Uninstalling the app removes the on-device data. To request deletion by email, contact us at the address below.

Children

BECOME is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.

Changes

If this policy changes, the “Last updated” date above will change. Material changes will be noted in the app.
