About Journey
Journey records your fitness journey and lets you choose what to share with other members. Contact Journey With Shannon at the email below with privacy questions, requests or complaints.
Information you provide
We store your account ID, display name, username, email or mobile login identifier, password hash and account settings. Depending on the features you use, we also store photos, tags, comments, reports, follows, blocks, invitation relationships, Growth rewards, bodyweight, lift logs and benchmark results. Your optional country is selected by you; the app does not request your GPS location or address book.
Why we use it
We use this information to provide your journal, sign-in, progress tracking, sharing, recommendations, leaderboards, Growth rewards and safety controls. Session and network information is used to secure the service and limit abuse. Support correspondence is used to respond to your request. We do not sell this information or use it for cross-app advertising tracking.
Who can see your information
Your journal and fitness records start private. Publishing a photo makes it visible to signed-in members, subject to blocks and moderation. You can make your own post private again. Your profile and avatar can be visible to members through your interactions and discovery settings. Leaderboard participation is optional and shares the selected results and country. A referral can reveal that an invited account joined or qualified for a reward, but does not reveal its private photos or records. Moderators can review reported content and the associated safety information.
Sharing outside Journey
Share cards include the information shown in their preview, which may include photos, a public username, Growth total and referral link. Account export is a separate full JSON download, without a card preview: it can contain your private login and recovery details, fitness records, photo references, reports and blocks. Keep that file private or share it only with someone you trust. Your login email or mobile is not used as the public referral code.
Other apps and recipients receive files only when you choose to share them. Making a post private, blocking someone or deleting an account cannot recall copies already saved outside Journey.
Service providers
Cloudflare provides the hosted application, database and photo storage. If account email delivery is enabled, Klaviyo receives the destination email address, action-specific verification or reset link and expiry to send the requested email; private photos, training records and passwords are not included. Creating an account does not subscribe you to marketing. Providers may process information outside your country. The receiving service handles information you independently share to another platform under its own policy.
Storage and security
Records are associated with your account on our servers. Selected photos are resized and re-encoded and their metadata is removed before storage. Sign-in uses protected connections, hashed passwords and revocable sessions. The iPhone app keeps its session credential in the device Keychain; the website uses a session cookie. Appearance preferences and some display settings are stored on your device. No service can promise absolute security.
Your choices and retention
We retain your saved records while your account exists, unless you remove them. Settings lets you edit account details, control discovery and leaderboards, manage blocks, export records and delete your account. Account deletion removes your account and its photos and personal records; failed photo-storage deletions are queued for cleanup.
Previously used usernames and invitation codes remain reserved without an account owner to prevent impersonation or reattribution. Growth already earned by another member can remain in that member’s ledger. If you delete an individual photo or lift but keep your account, minimal Growth activity claims and previous lift bests remain to prevent repeated rewards for the same activity. Provider operational logs and any copies you shared elsewhere have separate retention.
Contact us for help with access, correction, deletion or a privacy complaint; we may need to verify account ownership.
Account email availability
Settings shows whether email verification and password reset delivery are enabled. Mobile verification and SMS recovery are not currently supported. We never ask you to email your password or a reset code.
Changes
