Arete privacy policy
Last updated 4 November 2026. Arete (formerly ProTrainee) is published on Google Play by Bambite Company Limited.
What Arete stores
- Your account: name, email address, role (trainer or trainee), the body diagram you chose, your birth date and profile photo if you add them, and how you heard about Arete if you answer that question.
- What you or your trainer enter: workouts, sets, reps, weights and times; routines you save; sessions your trainer plans for you and which sets you tick off; body measurements (such as weight, height, body fat, waist, hip, chest, arm, thigh and calf); food and drink with the time eaten; goals; and, under Mind, the books you read and each reading sitting.
- If you connect Health Connect (Android) or Apple Health (iPhone): steps, resting heart rate, weight, body fat and sleep. Arete only reads these; it does not write anything back to them.
Who can see it
You, and a trainer you have joined with their invite code or join link. Your trainer sees your data only while you are linked; you can leave at any time, and from then on they cannot see any of it.
Other users cannot see your data, except on Rank and only if you switch Rank on: others who have switched it on see your first name and initial with your training totals.
The people who run Arete can see account details (name, email, role, when you signed up and last signed in, how you heard about us, who your trainer is) and how many entries each account has made. They use this to run and support the service, not to read your entries.
Health data
Arete reads health data only after you allow it on your phone's own permission screen, and only the types listed above. It is used only to show you, and the trainer you chose, your own progress.
It is never used for advertising, never sold, never shared with data brokers, and never used to decide eligibility for credit, insurance or employment. Arete shows no ads.
Where it is kept
In a Supabase database hosted in Singapore, reached over encrypted connections (the website forwards requests to it through its own address). Rules inside the database stop anyone but you and your trainer from reading your rows.
Searching for a food sends only the words or barcode you typed to the USDA food database or Open Food Facts. Searching for a book sends only the words or ISBN to Open Library. Nothing about you goes with them.
Deleting your data
You can delete any workout, measurement, food entry, goal, routine, book or reading sitting in the app.
To delete your whole account and everything in it, use Profile → Delete my account in the app, the delete-account page, or email o.s.aung@totals-inc.com. An emailed request is completed within 30 days.
Children
Arete is not meant for children under 13 and does not knowingly collect their data.
