Privacy Policy — Comeback
Effective: September 22, 2026
Comeback ("the app," "we," "us") is an injury-recovery app for athletes. This policy explains what information the app collects, how it's used, and the choices you have. We've written it to describe exactly what the app does — not a generic template.
Information You Provide
- Account: email address and password, if you create an account. Account creation is optional — the app works fully on your device without one.
- Recovery profile: injury type and body region, sport, whether surgery was involved, injury date, current rehab phase, and any notes you add from your physical therapist.
- Daily activity: the goals you complete, streaks, milestones you unlock, and benchmark numbers you log.
- Check-ins and journal notes: an optional daily rating of how you're feeling and any reflection you write. Comeback Pro subscribers may also log a confidence rating and note when unlocking a milestone.
- Community content: any comeback story, comment, or reaction you post. Stories are reviewed before becoming visible to other users. Posts include the injury type, sport, and a display name you choose.
How This Information is Used
- To run the app: your recovery data drives your daily goals, progress tracking, and history — all of this can work entirely on your device without an account.
- To back up and sync your data: if you create an account, your data is stored with Supabase, our database and authentication provider, so it survives a reinstall or device switch. You control this with the Back Up and Restore actions in Settings.
- To generate AI-personalized plans: if you use the AI coach feature, the relevant parts of your recovery profile and recent check-ins are sent to Anthropic (the maker of Claude) to generate a plan. This request is proxied through our own server function — your account credentials are never shared with Anthropic.
- To show community stories: injury type, sport, and your chosen display name are visible to other signed-in users once a story is approved. Your email address is never shown to other users.
- To send reminders: daily reminder notifications are scheduled entirely on your device. This does not involve sending your data anywhere.
- To process Comeback Pro subscriptions: payment is handled by the App Store and our subscription management provider, RevenueCat. We receive confirmation of your subscription status — never your card number or other payment details.
What We Don't Do
- We don't sell your data.
- We don't use your data for advertising, and Comeback does not display third-party ads.
- We don't share your health or recovery information with anyone outside the processing described above.
Your Choices
- Use the app without an account. Onboarding, daily goals, and tracking all work locally on your device.
- Delete your account at any time, in Settings → Danger Zone → Delete my account. This permanently removes your account and all associated data — profile, stories, comments, and subscription status — from our systems. This action cannot be undone.
- Reset your local data without deleting your account, in Settings → Reset everything, if you just want a fresh start on this device.
- Turn off reminder notifications any time in Settings → Notifications, or at the iOS system level.
- Post to the community under a display name of your choosing — you don't have to use your real name, and you can delete your own stories, comments, and reactions at any time.
- Email us at comeback@comeback-app.net to ask what data we hold about you or to request a copy of it.
Data Retention
If you use Comeback without an account, your data stays on your device until you delete the app or reset it — we never see it. If you create an account, we keep your data for as long as your account is active, so your history and progress are there when you come back. Deleting your account removes your profile, recovery data, check-ins, and community content from our systems; a limited copy may persist briefly in backups before it's fully purged.
Children's Privacy
Comeback is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has created an account, email us and we'll delete it.
Third-Party Services
Comeback relies on a small number of outside services to work, each limited to the specific job described above:
- Supabase — account authentication and cloud backup, if you create an account.
- Anthropic — generates AI coach plans from the recovery data you send it, proxied through our server so your login credentials are never exposed to Anthropic.
- Apple App Store & RevenueCat — process Comeback Pro subscription payments and report your subscription status back to us.
International Users
Comeback is developed in the United States, and data from an account you create is stored and processed there. If you use Comeback from outside the U.S., your information will be transferred to and handled in the U.S. as described in this policy.
Changes to This Policy
If we make a meaningful change to how Comeback handles your data, we'll update the effective date above and, for significant changes, let you know in the app.
