Privacy Policy
The short version. Ante has no accounts and no sign-up. Camera frames are analysed on your device and are never recorded, saved, or sent anywhere. We run no analytics and no ad tracking. The only data that leaves your phone is what Apple and our payment provider need to manage your subscription.
Who we are
Ante is developed by Ali Emir Zilyas, an individual developer based in Türkiye. For anything in this policy, write to support@tryante.app.
The camera
Ante uses your camera to count exercise repetitions. This is the most sensitive permission the app asks for, so here is exactly what happens:
- Video frames are processed entirely on your device using Apple's on-device Vision framework, which estimates body joint positions.
- Frames are never written to storage — not to your photo library, not to a file, not to a temporary cache.
- Frames are never transmitted. Ante contains no code that uploads images or video anywhere.
- Nothing derived from the video — no images, no joint data, no measurements — leaves your device either.
- The camera is active only while you are on the counting screen and stops when you leave it.
The apps you choose to lock
Ante uses Apple's Screen Time (Family Controls) framework to shield apps. When you pick apps to lock, iOS hands the app a set of opaque tokens — not names, not bundle identifiers.
This means Ante cannot see which apps you selected. We can count how many you picked and ask the system to shield them, and that is the limit of our access. Your selection stays on your device and is never transmitted.
What Ante stores on your device
The following is saved locally on your iPhone and is not sent to us or anyone else:
- Your onboarding answers and preferences, including your wake time.
- Your streak — the mornings you completed, and your current run.
- Your last 20 completed sessions: which exercise, how many reps, how long you moved for, your average pace, and when you finished. Ante uses this to price a Pass against your own mornings rather than a stranger's.
- Your Pass balance and when Passes were used.
- Your lock schedule and the opaque app tokens described above.
All of it is deleted when you delete the app. There is no cloud backup of this data, which also means it does not follow you to a new phone.
Subscriptions and payment
Ante is a paid subscription app. Payment itself is handled entirely by Apple — we never see your card details, billing address, or Apple ID.
To keep track of whether your subscription is active, Ante uses RevenueCat, a subscription management service. RevenueCat receives:
- A randomly generated anonymous ID that identifies your installation. It is not your name, email, or Apple ID, and we do not link it to your identity.
- Your purchase and subscription status — which product you bought, when it renews, whether it is active.
- Basic device and app information, such as device model, operating system version, app version, and the country inferred from your IP address.
This is the only data that leaves your device during normal use, and it exists so the app knows whether to unlock paid features. Ante does not use it for advertising or profiling.
What Ante does not do
- No user accounts, sign-up, email collection, or passwords.
- No analytics or crash-reporting SDKs.
- No advertising, no ad identifiers (IDFA), no cross-app tracking.
- No selling or sharing of personal data with data brokers.
- No location tracking.
- No access to your contacts, photos, microphone, or health data.
This website
Everything above describes the Ante app. This website itself sets no cookies, runs no analytics, and embeds no third-party trackers — it is a handful of static pages.
It is hosted by Vercel, which keeps standard server request logs (including IP addresses) for security and reliability. We do not use those logs to identify or profile visitors.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights under the GDPR, the Turkish KVKK, or similar laws — including access, correction, deletion, and objection.
Because Ante holds no account and no directly identifying information, most of your data is under your own control: deleting the app removes everything stored on your device. For the subscription records held by RevenueCat, email support@tryante.app and we will process a deletion request. For payment records held by Apple, please contact Apple.
Children
Ante is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
Changes to this policy
If we change how Ante handles data, we will update this page and change the date at the top. Material changes will also be noted in the app's release notes.
