Privacy Policy for FitForge AI

Welcome to FitForge AI ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal information is handled in a safe and responsible manner. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our mobile application (the "App").

1. Information We Collect

To provide you with personalized AI-driven fitness and nutrition coaching, we collect the following types of information:

• Account Information: When you sign up, we collect your email address and basic profile information to create and secure your account.
• Health and Physical Data: To generate custom meal plans and workouts, we collect your age, gender, weight, height, fitness goals, dietary preferences, and available equipment.
• Progress Photos: If you choose to use our progress tracking feature, the App requires access to your device's camera and photo library. These photos are stored securely and are only used for your personal tracking dashboard.
• AI Chat Data: Transcripts of your conversations with the AI Coach are processed to provide context-aware fitness advice and improve your coaching experience.
• Usage and Device Data: We collect crash logs, device identifiers, and usage metrics to monitor app performance and fix bugs.
• Payment Information: If you subscribe to our Pro or Trainer tiers, payments are processed securely via our third-party payment providers (e.g., Google Play Billing, Apple App Store). We do not store your direct credit card numbers on our servers.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the data we collect solely to provide and improve the FitForge AI service:

• To generate highly-personalized workout routines and macro-calculated meal plans via our AI engines.
• To send you push notifications (e.g., daily reminders to log your progress or hydration).
• To analyze app performance and fix technical issues.
• To maintain the security and integrity of your account.

3. Push Notifications

The App uses push notifications to send you fitness reminders (such as your 5 PM progress logging reminder). You can opt-out of these notifications at any time through your device's system settings or the App's Profile screen.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal or health data to third parties. We may share your data only in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: We may share data with secure third-party infrastructure providers (such as cloud hosting and our AI language model providers) strictly for the purpose of operating the App. Data sent to AI models is anonymized where possible.
• Legal Requirements: If required by law, subpoena, or other legal processes.

5. Data Security and Retention

We implement industry-standard encryption and security protocols to protect your personal and health data from unauthorized access. We retain your data only for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you the services. You may delete your account and all associated data at any time via the settings menu in the App.

6. Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

Depending on your location, you have specific rights regarding your personal data:

• European Union Residents (GDPR): You have the right to request access to, correction, or erasure of your personal data. You also have the right to restrict or object to our processing of your data, and the right to data portability. You may withdraw consent for data tracking (such as analytics) at any time.
• California Residents (CCPA): You have the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to request deletion of your data, and the right to opt-out of the sale of your personal information. FitForge AI does not sell your personal information.
