Last updated: 19 August 2026

1. Who we are

The Irish Yank Academy ("we", "us", "the Academy") provides online fitness coaching through a mobile application and related services.

• The Irish Yank Society LLC, trading as The Irish Yank Academy
• 224 W 35th St Ste 500 PMB 1112, New York, NY 10001
• Contact: info@irishyank.com

If you have any question about this policy or about how your information is handled, contact us at the address above.

2. Scope

This policy covers information collected through the Irish Yank Academy iOS application and our subscription sign-up pages. It does not cover any third-party website or service that we link to.

3. Information we collect

Information you give us when you create an account

• Name
• Email address
• Password (stored only as a secure cryptographic hash — we never store, and cannot recover, your actual password)

Information you give us during onboarding

• Date of birth
• Sex
• Height
• Body weight
• Activity level, current daily step range, lifting days per week, weekly training type and weekly running distance
• Your preferred training split and whether you use metric or imperial units

We use these to calculate your recommended daily calorie and macronutrient targets.

Information you record while using the app

• Daily tracker entries: body weight, step count, water intake, protein, calories and sleep duration
• Workout logs: exercises performed, sets, repetitions, weight lifted, rate of perceived exertion, and the date and time of each session
• Progress photographs, if you choose to upload them
• Basic usage information such as the date you last opened the app and your consecutive-day streak

Information we do not collect

• We do not collect your payment card details. All payments are handled by Stripe on their own secure pages; we never see or store card numbers.
• We do not use advertising networks, third-party analytics, or tracking software, and we do not track you across other apps or websites.
• We do not collect your precise location.
• We do not sell your personal information, and we never have.

4. Health-related information

Some of the information above — body weight, progress photographs, sleep, and nutrition data — relates to your health and physical condition. We treat it with particular care:

• You choose whether to provide it. The app works without it, though features such as the daily tracker and progress photos depend on it.
• Progress photographs are stored in a private, encrypted location and are never publicly accessible.
• It is visible only to you and to your coach.
• It is never used for advertising, and is never shared with anyone outside the service providers listed in section 6.
• We will never use your progress photographs or results in marketing or testimonials without asking you first and obtaining your express written permission on each occasion. That permission is voluntary, has no effect on your membership, and can be withdrawn at any time.

5. How we use your information

We use the information described above to create and maintain your account; to provide your training programme, daily tracker, workout logging and video content; to calculate your macronutrient targets; to allow your coach to review your progress and write your programme; to manage your subscription and payments; to send you service emails such as your welcome and password-setup email; and to diagnose faults and keep the service secure and working properly.

We do not use your information for advertising, and we do not sell or rent it to anyone.

6. Who we share your information with

We use a small number of established service providers to run the Academy. Each receives only what it needs to perform its function, and none is permitted to use your information for their own purposes.

Artificial intelligence. Some training programmes in the app are generated with the assistance of an AI service (Anthropic). No member information is ever sent to it. Programmes are generated from your coach's own exercise library and methodology and are shared across members on the same training split. Your profile, body weight, photographs and workout history are never transmitted to any AI provider.

We may also disclose information where required by law, or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

7. Where your information is stored

We are based in the United States and your information is processed there. Progress photographs are stored on servers located in the European Union. By using the Academy, you understand that your information may be stored and processed in the United States and in other countries where our service providers operate.

8. How long we keep your information

We keep your information for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we remove your personal information as described in section 9. We may retain limited billing records for as long as required by tax and accounting law.

9. Deleting your account

You can delete your account at any time from within the app, under Profile settings. When you do:

• Your profile, daily tracker entries, workout logs and progress photographs are permanently deleted
• Your progress photographs are removed from storage
• Your subscription is cancelled at the end of the period you have already paid for. You are not charged again, and no refund is issued for the remainder of that period.

Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone.

10. Your choices and rights

You can review and correct most of your information directly in the app. You can delete your account, and with it your personal information, at any time from within the app. You can also contact us at info@irishyank.com to ask what information we hold about you, to request a copy of it, or to ask us to correct or delete it.

California residents. If you live in California, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request a copy of it, to request its deletion, to correct inaccurate information, and not to be discriminated against for exercising those rights. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. To make a request, contact us at info@irishyank.com.

Members outside the United States. If you use the Academy from a country with additional data protection laws, such as the United Kingdom or a country in the European Union, you may have further rights including access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, and the right to complain to your local data protection authority. Contact us at info@irishyank.com and we will honour those rights.

11. Security

We protect your information using industry-standard measures, including encrypted connections throughout, encrypted storage of progress photographs in a private location, secure hashing of passwords, and access controls that restrict information to you and your coach. No system can be guaranteed completely secure, but we take these obligations seriously.

12. Children

The Academy is not intended for children. You must be at least 18 years old to create an account. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone below that age, and we comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. If you believe a child has provided us with information, contact us and we will delete it.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Where changes are significant we will notify you. The date at the top of this page always shows when it was last revised.
