Terms of Service

1. General Provisions

These terms govern the use of the Wolkup platform, including the website and mobile app. By using the platform, you agree to these terms in full.

2. Definitions

Platform — the Wolkup service designed for tracking user activity, motivation, and workouts. User — an individual using the platform.

The primary sign-in method is a one-time code sent to your email address. For other uses of your email, see the "Notifications" section.

Sign in with Apple and Google sign-in are also available. These buttons are not shown in every country: they are hidden for Russian IP addresses, where sign-in is by email code. You can also link Apple or Google to an account you already have from the app settings, and unlink them again; linking is available in all countries. You cannot unlink your last remaining sign-in method. For the data we receive on such a sign-in, see the Privacy Policy.

Login via Telegram was previously available. New sign-ins with this method are not possible. The data of such accounts is preserved for their owners and can be deleted upon request.

5. Strava Integration

The platform may use the Strava API to import workouts. We receive: activity date, type, duration, distance, calories, heart rate (if available). This data is deleted upon disconnection of the integration.

5.1 Apple Health and Google Fit Integration

The platform may integrate with Apple Health (iOS) and Google Fit (Android) to import workout data. We may collect the same data categories as with Strava, as well as additional information about the device and workout events. Data from Apple Health or Google Fit is sent to our server only if you choose to import it. Once imported, it remains until you delete it manually or via support. Other data previously obtained from these integrations remains until it is deleted upon request or the account is removed.

With sync enabled, the app may also write finished workouts to Apple Health (type, duration, distance, calories, and route) and read your body weight. Writing is controlled by a separate toggle in the settings. Your body-weight measurements — read from Apple Health or entered manually — are stored as a history on our servers to show your weight trend over time; see the Privacy Policy for details.

5.2 Sensor-based Features

Certain workout modes use device sensors:

Camera — for pose recognition and rep counting. Processing happens on-device; camera frames are never stored or sent to our servers, only numeric results are saved.
Location (including background location, with your permission) — to record the route of walks, runs, and map-based game modes.
Pedometer and motion sensors — for steps and cadence.
Apple Watch (if available) — to measure heart rate and cadence during workouts.

These features work only after you grant the corresponding system permissions; declining them does not block the rest of the platform.

6. Cost of Use

All platform features are provided free of charge. There are currently no paid features, subscriptions, or in-app purchases, and no payment is collected from users. Should paid features be introduced in the future, we will update these terms and notify you in advance.

6.1 AI Features

Some platform features (the weekly AI training report, and AI-generated training plans) are produced automatically from your data using a language model. The AI is not a qualified trainer, physician, or other specialist. Such reports, recommendations, and plans are for informational purposes only and do not replace professional advice. Whether to follow the suggested exercises and targets, to what extent, and with what changes is a decision you make yourself; you may adjust the plan in any way or disregard it entirely.

AI-plan generation that accounts for your physical parameters may use a coarse, anonymized category rather than your actual height, weight, age, or heart-rate values — see the Privacy Policy, §9, for details.

7. Age and Acceptable Use

The platform may be used by individuals aged 16 or older. It is prohibited to:

use bots, scripts, or automation;
share your account credentials with third parties;
use the service for commercial purposes without written consent from the platform owner, Artem Zaborskikh (a private individual, a citizen of the Republic of Kazakhstan).

8. Public Activity and Feed

By default, new profiles are private: only you and your friends (users you follow who follow you back) can see them. You can make your profile public at any time in settings — then your name, username, current streak, workout count, follower and following counts, and recent activity are visible to all signed-in users of the platform. Profile content is not shown to visitors who are not signed in, even for a public profile: opening the link without signing in reveals only the name and username. The leaderboard shows your username, weekly workout count, and current streak.

The platform automatically generates an activity feed: events about your activity (achievements, streak milestones, and completed workouts, including imported ones) are shown to other users according to your profile privacy settings. Publishing of completed workouts can be turned off with a setting in your profile; achievements and streak milestones are always published. Other users may react to your events. For details on feed data, see the Privacy Policy (§16–17).

9. Notifications

The platform may send notifications about achievements, updates, and other events — in the app, via push, and by email. Email notifications are on by default and can be turned off in the app settings or via the "Unsubscribe" link in the email. Promotional ("Promo") notifications are the exception — off by default, and only turned on explicitly by the user in settings.

10. Access Termination and Deletion

We reserve the right to suspend or delete accounts in case of violations or technical issues. You can delete your account in the app via profile settings. All related data will be permanently deleted.

11. Training and Limitation of Liability

Training on the platform (including via camera, GPS, and other sensors) is voluntary and at your own risk. Physical activity carries a risk of injury, including serious injury. If you have a health condition, are pregnant, have a chronic illness, or other contraindications, consult a physician before using the platform. If you feel dizzy, experience pain, shortness of breath, or otherwise feel unwell during a workout, stop immediately.

Platform content — exercises, targets, plans, and any recommendations, including those generated by AI (see 6.1) — is provided "as is", is for informational purposes only, and does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the platform is not liable for harm to health, life, or property arising from use of the platform or from following the suggested exercises, targets, or plans.

11.1. Simple Electronic Signature

Signing in to your account is done with a one-time code sent to the email address you provided. That code acts as a simple electronic signature key, and actions taken in the app after signing in are deemed to be taken by you.

Under Article 6(2) of Russian Federal Law No. 63-FZ of 6 April 2011 "On Electronic Signature", the parties agree to treat electronic documents confirmed in the app in this way as equivalent to paper documents signed by hand. This applies in particular to consent to the processing of special categories of personal data.

You undertake not to share access to your email with third parties and to notify us at [email protected] immediately if you lose control of it.

12. Jurisdiction

The platform is provided by Artem Zaborskikh, a private individual and a citizen of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The platform is not operated as a business registered in the Russian Federation. Servers are located in Moscow, Russia. Use of the service is governed by the laws of the Russian Federation.

13. Changes

We may update these terms. The current version is always available on this page. In case of significant changes, we will notify you via the app or browser.
