These quiz pages and your data

This covers the plan quiz, "Your numbers" and "How strong are you?" at start.strongy.app. Our full privacy policy, with the legal basis for each use, how long we keep each thing and your rights, is at strongy.app/privacy.

What we count

A small script from this site tells our server which page and question you reached, and which version of the quiz you saw. Our server adds the time to the minute, your country, the page's language, the kind of device and browser, and the ids (not the names) of the ad campaign, ad set and ad in the link. We don't keep your IP address or your browser's full description, we set no cookie, and we give you no identifier, so we can't tell whether you've visited before. We keep these records for 90 days, then only daily totals, and we only look at totals.

"Don't count my visit" on the page turns this off for the rest of your visit, and so does a browser that asks sites not to track it.

Your answers

While you take the quiz, your answers stay in this browser tab (its session storage, cleared when you close the tab). When you finish, your goal, the areas you picked, how long you've trained, your days, your session length, where you train and your age range go to our server, so that your plan code can carry them to the app. We keep them with the code, with the campaign ids you came from, and add them to totals, such as how many people chose each goal. The quiz asks no health questions and no body measurements.

We keep your answers with the code until the code is linked to a trial in the app, or for 30 days if it never is. Then we delete them and only the totals remain.

Your plan code

When you enter the code in the app, the app gets your answers. When you then start your trial, the code is linked to your Strongy account: for 100 days, the code's campaign and ad ids, country, language, quiz version and kind of device and browser stay linked to that account, so we can count trials and renewals per ad. After 100 days the link is deleted and only totals remain. Deleting your account deletes it at once. We never send it to Meta or anyone else.

A code that is never used is deleted after 30 days. A used code is deleted 100 days after it was used.

How strong are you?

Everything you enter on start.strongy.app/strength/ (your bodyweight, the results you compare with and your lifts) stays in your browser: the page works out your results there, and nothing you type is sent, saved or put in the address. Only the step counts described under "What we count" reach our server. If you say you're under 18, nothing more is counted.

Your numbers

Our "Your numbers" page asks your age, sex, height, weight and goal, and shows your BMI, a healthy weight range, daily calories, daily protein and a date for a goal weight. We work all of that out on your own device, in your browser. It stays in this browser tab and is gone when you close it. When you tap "Get the app and continue there", the link we copy carries your height, weight, goal weight, sex, birth year and answer to the pregnancy question after a "#" sign, and so does the page's "Open my plan" link. Your browser never sends the part of a link after "#" to any server, so we never receive it, and neither does Meta. Strongy reads it on your phone to fill in your numbers. If you open the copied link in a browser instead, our code page (start.strongy.app/p/) takes that part out of the address bar and keeps it in that tab's session storage until you close the tab, so its buttons can still pass your numbers to the app. Our server receives only your goal, how active you are and an age range (18-44, 45-64 or 65+), stored under your plan code for up to 30 days as described above. We count the steps as described under "What we count", except the pregnancy question, which we never count. If you ask us to email you the link, the link in the email carries none of your body numbers, and you type them in the app. If you say you are under 18 the page stops, and we keep one bare count that it stopped.

If you ask for your link by email

Giving your address is optional; your code is always shown on the page. If you ask, we send one email with your plan link, and nothing else, ever. We keep your address for 30 days, without your code or your answers, only to limit how often we send, and then delete it. The code travels only inside the email. Our email provider keeps the message for its own retention period.

Meta, only if you say Yes

After you tell us your age, and only if you are 18 or over, the quiz asks whether we may tell Meta (Facebook and Instagram) that your visit came from its ad. If you tap Yes, our server sends Meta four events: that you opened the page, finished the quiz, saw your plan and went to the App Store. Each carries the event's name and time, an event id, the page's address with nothing after it, your browser's description, your IP address (which we pass on without keeping it) and the click id Meta put in the ad's link. Meta uses this to measure our ads and to decide who sees them, and handles it under its own privacy policy. For this, Meta Platforms Ireland and we are joint controllers.

We never tell Meta your answers, your plan code, your email address or anything you do in the app. No Meta script, and no other third-party script, runs on these pages, and no cookie is set. If you tap No, or don't answer, nothing is sent. Your answer lasts for that visit only (the browser tab), and "Don't count my visit", or a browser that asks sites not to track it, also stops anything more going to Meta. If you tell us you're 16 or 17, we don't ask and nothing is sent.

Age

The quiz is for people aged 16 and over and asks your age first. If you're under 16 it stops there, and we keep nothing about your visit apart from one bare count that the quiz stopped: no page version, language, country, device or campaign with it. If the page is closed before the age question is answered, the counts for opening the page and seeing the first question may already have been sent, as described under "What we count": they hold no answer and no identifier.
