Privacy — Carico Log
Last updated 1 October 2026
The principle
Carico Log is a lifting log for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. It has no account; your log never goes to a server of ours. Our only server is the optional AI connector described below. We never receive, store or see any of your data. There is nothing for us to sell, lose or hand over, because there is nothing on our side to begin with.
What the app keeps
Carico Log records what you put into it:
- the exercises you create and the sets you log — weight, reps or time, date, effort, and your notes
- your sessions, your programs and your planned workouts
- the body weights you enter, or bring in from Health if you turn that on
- the history you import from a file, if you choose to
- your settings: rest timer, unit of weight, the plates of your gym
Where it lives
On your device. If you turn iCloud on, it also syncs through your own private iCloud database, which Apple encrypts and which we cannot open, read or list. We have no key and no access of any kind.
What it asks permission for
Every one of these is optional. Refuse any of them and the rest of the app keeps working.
- Health
- So a session is not stranded in the app, and so your body weight can come and go between the two. See the Health section below.
- Notifications
- To tell you when your rest is over. They are scheduled on the device by iOS; no notification is sent from a server.
- iCloud
- To sync the same log between your iPhone, your iPad and your Apple Watch, through your own iCloud account.
Health
Carico Log writes two things to Health: the workout of each training session, and the weigh-ins you enter in the app, if you turn on Sync with Health for your body weight. It reads: with that same switch, your body weight; your waist circumference, only once you ask for it on the Progress tab; on the Apple Watch, during a session, your heart rate and your active energy, to show them on screen; and the workouts it saved itself, so it can remove the empty ones when you ask — never another app’s. Nothing else is read. Heart rate, energy and waist are shown and never kept. Weigh-ins brought in from Health join your log like the ones you type, so they sync through your own iCloud with the rest of it. Nothing read from Health is ever sent to us.
What leaves the device
Nothing. The app makes no network request of its own: no analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising, no third-party kit of any kind. It works in airplane mode.
Sharing a program is yours to do: the file or the link goes through the iOS share sheet, to the person and by the channel you choose, and never through us. It carries the program — its weeks, days, exercises and targets, and a name for you only if you type one — and never a set you logged or a weight you lifted. Carico Log Pro is a subscription through the App Store: Apple handles the payment, and we learn nothing about you from it. Planning with an AI. The prompt you copy goes, through the clipboard or the share sheet, to the AI app you choose, and the answer you paste stays on your device. If you add our MCP connector (carico.nidello.ca/mcp) to your AI, the AI sends it the program it wrote, to check it and make an import link: no account, no request log; the program is encrypted with a key that exists only in the link, so we cannot read it, and it is deleted after 7 days. When the AI cannot fit something into the program, the connector notes it for us in general terms — the names of the unsupported fields and the AI’s generic description, never your values — and sends us a daily summary of these feature requests. Workout music. If you choose a playlist, Carico Log reads its name from your Music library and asks the Music app to play it, on your device; a Spotify link only opens the Spotify app. Nothing about your music goes through us.
Your data is yours
Export everything, whenever you want, without asking us. Delete the app and what was only on the device is gone; what synced to iCloud goes when you remove it from your iCloud settings. We cannot recover any of it for you, because we never had it.
Children
The app is not directed at children and collects nothing about anyone, of any age.
Changes to this page
If the app ever starts doing something this page does not describe, this page changes first. The date at the top says when it last did.
Your rights
Quebec’s Law 25 and similar laws elsewhere give you the right to access, correct and delete the personal information a business holds about you. In our case the answer is the same every time: we hold none. Your information is on your device and in your own iCloud, where you can already read, change and delete all of it yourself.
