This policy explains what information Stretch Minute (“the app”) uses, why, who it is shared with, and the choices you have. Stretch Minute is published by Indimakes Technology (“Indimakes”, “we”, “us”), a business licensed in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, on the Apple App Store and on Google Play. Our general privacy policy covers indimakes.com, our other apps, and versions of Stretch Minute earlier than 3.0; where it differs from this page, this page applies to Stretch Minute.
The app works without an account. The following is stored on your device and is not sent to us unless you turn on the cloud backup described below.
The home screen widget (on iPhone, iPad and Android) and the lock screen widget (on iPhone) show your streak and today’s routine, read from the app on the same device.
The Apple Watch and Wear OS apps show your streak and follow, and can pause or skip, a session running on your phone. The phone sends them your streak, whether you have Premium and the stretch in progress, using Apple’s or Google’s services for connecting watches to phones. We don’t receive this information.
Daily reminders are scheduled on your device and work only if you allow notifications. We don’t send push notifications from a server. Voice guidance uses the text-to-speech voices built into your device.
Signing in is optional. You can sign in with an email address and password or with Google, and on Apple devices also with Apple. Sign-in is provided by Google Firebase, which processes your email address, a user ID, the sign-in method and, if the provider supplies it, your name. We cannot see your password.
When you are signed in, the app can keep a backup on Google Firebase. The backup contains your finished sessions, your custom routines and your plan settings, stored under your user ID. Only you can read or change it.
Saving sessions to Apple Health (on iPhone) or Health Connect (on Android) is a Premium option and is off until you turn it on. When it is on, the app saves each finished session as a workout: on Apple Health a flexibility workout, on Health Connect a stretching exercise session, each with its start and end time and the routine’s name.
The app asks only for permission to write workouts (on Android, the Health Connect permission to write exercise sessions). It does not read, collect or store any data from Apple Health or Health Connect, and nothing it saves there is sent to us.
Stretch Minute’s use of information received from Health Connect will adhere to the Health Connect Permissions policy, including the Limited Use requirements. As the app only writes to Health Connect, it does not receive any information from it.
Premium is sold through the store you installed the app from: Apple’s in-app purchase system on Apple devices, and Google Play Billing on Android. The store processes the payment under the Apple Privacy Policy or the Google Privacy Policy; we never receive your card number or billing details.
We use a subscription management service to check whether a subscription is active. It receives a randomly generated app user ID, your purchase history for the app and basic device information. This ID is not linked to your email address or to your account in the app.
We use Google Firebase to understand how the app is used and to find and fix crashes. It receives:
The names of your custom routines and any data from Apple Health or Health Connect are never sent to analytics. Analytics data is not linked to your email address or to your account in the app.
The free version of the app shows ads provided by Google AdMob, using the Google Mobile Ads SDK. Premium subscribers see no ads. When ads are requested, Google may collect and process:
This data is collected by Google as our advertising partner; we don’t receive it in a form that identifies you. Your sessions, routines, plan and health data are never shared with Google for advertising or with any ad partner. See How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services and the Google Privacy Policy.
If you don’t allow tracking or don’t consent, you may still see non-personalized ads in the free version, and the app keeps working normally.
Routine illustrations and some app content are downloaded from Google Firebase. As with any internet request, Google’s servers receive your IP address and basic device information in order to deliver the content.
Data sent by the app travels over encrypted connections (HTTPS). Your backup is stored under your own user ID with rules that allow only your signed-in account to read or change it. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, but we keep the data the app handles to the minimum needed.
Stretch Minute is a general audience app and is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country). We don’t knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the app, contact us and we’ll help delete it.
Depending on where you live, you may have these rights over your personal information:
You can delete your account and backup yourself in Settings › Delete account, or follow the steps on Delete your account. For anything else, email us at support@indimakes.com with the subject “Stretch Minute privacy”. We respond within 30 days.
Our service providers, including Google and Apple, may process your information in countries other than yours, including the United States, using safeguards such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses where required.
stretchminute.com uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use the site: the pages viewed, the store buttons tapped, the site that referred you, your approximate location (derived from your IP address), and your device and browser. Google Analytics sets first-party cookies (_ga and _ga_*) to tell visits apart. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, these cookies are not set and Google receives only cookieless measurements. Google’s advertising features are off: website data is not used for ads and is not linked to your account in the app. You can opt out of Google Analytics with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Our host, Cloudflare, processes your IP address and basic request information (such as the page requested and your browser type) to deliver the pages and protect the site from abuse, under the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
If we change how the app handles information, we’ll update this page and the date above. For significant changes, we’ll also let you know in the app or in its App Store or Google Play listing before they take effect.
