Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 8, 2026

1. Who we are

Nove is an iPhone app that coaches your strength training and keeps your lab results, workouts and rides in one place. This policy explains what Nove collects, why, who processes it, and how to delete it. Questions and requests: privacidad@nove.health.

2. What Nove collects

  • Account: your name and email, and the ID that Sign in with Apple or Sign in with Google gives us.
  • Workouts: what you tell the coach after a session, the sets it logs, how ready you felt, and the routine changes you approve. When you speak, your iPhone turns your voice into text on the device; the audio never leaves your phone.
  • Lab results: the PDF reports you upload or import, and the values read from them.
  • Garmin: if you connect it, your activities, sleep, heart rate, stress and similar daily data.
  • Indoor rides: if you set it up, ride files from TrainerRoad that your own computer sends to Nove.
  • Google: only what section 3 describes, and only for the features you turn on.

3. Your Google data

Nove asks Google for each permission separately, only when you turn on the feature that needs it.

  • Sign in with Google (name, email): used to create and sign in to your account. Nove keeps no Google token from signing in.
  • Google Calendar (create and edit events): when you connect Calendar, Nove adds one repeating event with your training days to your primary calendar and updates it when you change them. Nove does not read, change or delete any other event.
  • Gmail (read only): when you connect Gmail and tap Find in Gmail, Nove searches your mail for emails with PDF attachments that may hold lab results. To list them, it reads each matching email’s sender, subject, date, Gmail’s preview line and attachment names. These details are sent to TypeSafe, which sorts which ones look like lab results; the list itself is not stored. Only the PDFs you pick are downloaded: each one is sent to Anthropic to read its lab values, then the PDF is kept in Nove’s private storage and its values in your trends. Nove remembers the Gmail message ID and file name of each imported PDF so it can mark it as imported. Nove never sends, changes or deletes email, and never reads your mail in the background.

Nove keeps the access Google grants for Calendar and Gmail encrypted, and only to provide those features. Disconnecting either one in Settings removes it from Nove and revokes it at Google. You can also remove Nove’s access at any time from your Google Account permissions.

Nove’s use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

In particular, Nove uses Google user data only to provide the features above to you. Nove does not sell it, does not use it for advertising, does not transfer it except to the providers in section 5 to run those features, and does not let people read it except with your permission, for security, or when the law requires. Nove does not use Google user data to develop, improve or train generalized AI or machine learning models, and its AI providers do not train on it.

4. How Nove uses your data

  • To log your workouts and have the coach propose changes to your routine, which you approve or not.
  • To read your lab reports and show each biomarker over time.
  • To weigh your sleep, recovery and rides when the coach looks at a session.
  • To keep your training days on your calendar, if you connect it.

5. Who processes it

Nove does not sell your data. These providers process it only to run Nove:

  • Anthropic (Claude): reads your workout summaries and lab reports and drafts the coach’s proposals.
  • TypeSafe: sorts the emails Find in Gmail lists, from their sender, subject, preview and attachment names.
  • Google (Gemini): draws illustrations for exercises; it receives exercise descriptions, not your data.
  • Amazon Web Services: stores lab report files and Nove’s keys.
  • Neon (database) and Railway (servers): store and run Nove.

Your data is stored and processed in the United States.

6. Security

All traffic is encrypted in transit. Nove’s database and file storage are encrypted at rest, and the access Google, Garmin and others grant is additionally encrypted by Nove before it is stored. Lab report files are private and reachable only through your account.

7. Keeping and deleting your data

  • Nove keeps your data while you have an account.
  • You can delete any lab report, with its values and file, from the Labs tab.
  • You can disconnect Google Calendar, Gmail and Garmin at any time in Settings.
  • You can delete your account in Settings: Nove deletes your account and all its data, including lab report files, and revokes every connection it holds.
  • You can also email privacidad@nove.health to ask for a copy of your data or for its deletion.

8. This website

nove.health uses advertising pixels (Google Ads, Meta and Reddit) to measure our campaigns. The app does not use them, and none of your app data reaches them.

9. Children

Nove is not intended for anyone under 18.

10. Changes

If this policy changes in a way that affects your data, we will tell you in the app or by email before the change applies.
