Privacy
Policy

Your privacy matters to us. In this policy we explain how we collect, use and protect your personal data in the Tsemp service.

1. Data controller

The controller responsible for processing your personal data is:

Tsemppi Fitness Oy

  • Business ID: 3377898-6
  • Address: Kolmas Linja 30 B, Helsinki, Finland
  • Email: info@tsemppiapp.fi

2. What data we collect

We collect the following data in order to provide the service:

Basic details

Name, email, date of birth, gender

Account details

Username, password (encrypted), profile picture

Training data

Training history, performances, weights, repetitions, progress data

Body data

Height, weight, limitations (optional)

Usage data

How the app is used, device information, IP address

Note: We do not collect sensitive health data. Training and body data are optional, and you decide yourself which data you save.

3. Artificial intelligence and data processing

Tsemp uses artificial intelligence to create personalised training programs. Here we explain in detail how the AI works:

What data the AI uses

  • Goal: Muscle growth, strength, fat loss or performance
  • Level: Beginner, intermediate or advanced
  • Training frequency: How many times per week you want to train
  • Session length: Target time per workout
  • Equipment: Gym, basic equipment or home training
  • Limitations: Any injuries or restrictions (knee, shoulder, back, hip)

Third-party AI service

To generate training programs we use OpenAI's GPT-4o-mini model. When you create a new training program:

  • We send OpenAI only the onboarding details mentioned above (goal, level, frequency, length, equipment, limitations)
  • We do not send personal identifiers such as your name, email or username
  • OpenAI does not use the data to train its models when accessed via the API
  • The data is processed in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation

Data storage

  • All user data is stored on our own servers within the EU
  • Generated training programs are saved to your account, not to OpenAI
  • Training history and performances remain only in our own database

Limitations of the AI: The AI creates a training program based on the information you provide and our existing exercise library. The AI does not replace advice from a professional, and we recommend consulting a doctor before starting a new training program, especially if you have any health-related limitations.

4. Strength level and muscle points

Tsemp calculates metrics that describe your progress based on your training data:

Strength level metric

The strength level is based on standardised powerlifting formulas and takes into account:

  • Lifted weights: Maximum performances in different exercises
  • Body weight: Relative strength in proportion to body weight
  • Gender: Comparison with gender-specific averages

Muscle map and progress

The muscle map visualises the load of your workouts:

  • Intensity: Calculated from sets, repetitions and weight
  • Target muscles: Each exercise targets specific muscle groups as defined in our exercise library
  • PR tracking: Personal records are saved automatically

Note: These metrics are indicative and intended to motivate and track progress. They are not medical assessments.

5. App permissions

Tsemp may request the following permissions on your device. Each permission is optional and you can manage them in your device settings:

Camera
Optional

We use the camera to take a profile picture and to save training videos and progress photos to your profile.

Notifications
Optional

We use notifications to remind you about workouts, inform you about community activity (likes, comments, followers) and replies to support messages.

HealthKit (iOS)
Optional

The HealthKit integration lets you sync training data with Apple Health, so you can follow all your activity in one place.

Note: The app works fully without these permissions. We only ask for permission when you use the relevant feature for the first time.

6. What we use your data for

We use your data for the following purposes:

  • Creating personalised training programs with the help of AI
  • Tracking and visualising your progress as a muscle map
  • Managing your user account and login
  • Providing community features (if you share your performances)
  • Developing and improving the service
  • Customer communication and support

7. Data security

All data is encrypted both in transit (TLS) and at rest. Passwords are hashed with the bcrypt algorithm.

🛡️
Secure infrastructure

We use data centres located within the EU (MongoDB Atlas)

🔑

📋

We review our security practices regularly

8. Sharing of data
