Strive app privacy policy
Last updated November 9, 2026
This covers the Strive app for iPhone and Mac. Buying a Block on this site is covered by the store privacy policy.
What we collect
- Account: an anonymous device account, and your name, Apple ID email or phone number if you sign in.
- What you log: workouts, meals, water, weight, meal preps, lock sessions, schedules and alarms.
- Setup answers: goals, height, weight, age and activity level, used to work out your plan.
- Apple Health (only if you connect it): the workouts, steps and weight you allow. Health data is never used for advertising and never sold.
- Physique photo (optional): stays on your phone until your trial starts, is sent once to be read, and is deleted from our servers after the read. We keep only the result.
- Body check-in photos: private check-ins stay private. The photos stay on your phone and are sent only to be scored, then dropped; we keep the scores. If you share a check-in with photos, those photos are stored so your friends can see them, until you make it private again or delete it.
- Profile photo (optional): stored so your friends see it. Remove it any time in Settings.
- Screen Time: Apple never shows us which apps you use on iPhone. If you turn on screen-time counting, we store your total phone time for each day (never which apps) and show it to the people you choose in Settings › Privacy. On a linked Mac, Strive records the sites and apps you use in order to enforce your locks.
- Friends: what you choose to share in Settings › Privacy.
- Contacts (only if you tap Find people you know): the phone numbers in your contacts are sent once, to show which of them already use Strive. We don’t store them, and we don’t contact anyone. Names, emails and the rest of each contact stay on your phone.
- Your Strive Block: the ID of the tag you pair, so only your Block unlocks your locks, and any activation code you redeem.
- Purchases: handled by Apple and RevenueCat; we never see your card.
How we use it
To run the app: your plan, locks, alarms, progress and friends feed. We don’t sell your data and don’t use it for third-party advertising.
Who processes it

Photos sent for a read aren’t used to train models, and the request isn’t logged by our gateway.
Your choices
Turn sharing off in Settings › Privacy, or make any check-in private again. Report a post or block someone from its menu. Disconnect Apple Health or Contacts access in iOS Settings. Delete your account and all its data, photos included, in Settings › Delete account, or ask us through the contact form.
