Fit Check privacy policy

The short version

Fit Check only knows what you tell it, by tapping, typing, talking or sharing a photo. We do not sell your data, share it for advertising, show ads, or run analytics or tracking. Voice recordings and photos are used to read them and then thrown away; we do not keep them.

Who we are

Fit Check ("we", "us") is a personal food, water, supplement, workout and mindfulness logging app at fitcheckjvs.com and in the Fit Check iPhone app. Contact: [email protected].

What we collect

What you give us

• Your logs: meals with calories and protein, water, supplements, workouts with minutes and notes, saved meals, and the date and time of each entry.
• Mind tab entries (if you turn it on): practice type, minutes, and any words you write, such as a journal entry, visualization or note.
• Profile details you choose to enter: goals, bodyweight, equipment, injuries or similar notes. Leave them blank if you prefer.
• Account details: if you create an account, your email address and a scrambled (hashed) version of your password. We never see or store your password in readable form.
• Messages you send in chat, which are used to answer you and to propose entries.
• Training program screenshots (if you use Add a program): the screenshots are sent to Anthropic once to be read, and only the program they describe (days, exercises, sets and reps) is saved to your account. The images themselves are not stored.
• Accountability partner (if you turn it on): the display name you enter, the name you give your partner, your sharing choices, and preset cheers your partner sends. Your partner sees only the summary items you switch on through a private link you share; they never see your meals, body numbers or account details unless you turn those on. You can remove the partner or make a new link at any time, and it is all deleted with your account.
• Squad (if you join or start one): the display name you enter, which of protein, calories and lifts you choose to share, your personal records if lift sharing is on, and preset cheers squad members send. Nothing is shared until you switch it on. Leaving the squad, or deleting your account, removes your data from it.
• Referral code (if you use one): the code you entered at sign-up or added later is stored on your account so the person who referred you can be credited. They see that a sign-up happened and whether it became a paid month, never your name, email or anything you log.
• Notifications (if you turn them on): a device token from Apple so we can send the alerts to your phone, your time zone, and your chosen reminder hour. The token identifies the device, not you. Turning notifications off in the app deletes it, and so does deleting your account.
• Voice notes and photos: recorded speech when you use the voice screen, and meal or nutrition-label photos you scan. These are sent to our AI providers (below) to be turned into text or read. We do not keep the audio or the photo after it has been processed.

What we get automatically

• A sign-in cookie that keeps you signed in on your device.
• Technical data our hosting provider needs to run the service, such as your IP address and request times, kept briefly in server logs and used for security and to limit abuse.
• Your Premium status: the app shows whether your subscription is active.
• Information stored on your own device by the app (such as your last tab and an allow-AI choice) so it opens quickly.

We do not use HealthKit, location, contacts, advertising identifiers, analytics or tracking tools.

How we use it

• To run the app: save and show what you logged, totals, trends and comparisons.
• To turn your words, voice and photos into proposed entries, and to answer your questions. Nothing is saved from chat until you tap Log it or say "log it".
• To sign you in, keep your account secure, and manage Premium.
• To keep the service safe and working and to answer your support emails.

We do not sell your personal information, do not share it for cross-context advertising, and do not use your logs or journal to build advertising profiles.

Who else handles it

These companies process data for us to run the app. They only get what is needed for the feature you use.

• Anthropic reads the text you write in chat, your meal and label photos, your training program screenshots, and the logged information needed to answer you, and replies with proposed entries.
• OpenAI turns your voice notes into text and reads the app's replies aloud (the reply text is sent to OpenAI to make the audio).
• Railway hosts the app and stores the database.
• Apple delivers push notifications to your phone; Apple receives the device token and the text of the alert.
• Resend sends account emails such as password reset links to the address on your account.
• Apple processes Premium payments and shows your subscription. We never see your card number.
• RevenueCat receives your account ID and subscription status so the app knows whether Premium is active.

Under their published terms for business use of their interfaces, Anthropic and OpenAI do not use data sent this way to train their models by default. Their handling is governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We share nothing else with anyone except where the law requires it, or to protect the app and its users from fraud or abuse.

How long we keep it

• Your logs and Mind entries stay until you remove them or delete your account.
• Voice recordings and photos are not stored.
• Server logs are kept only briefly.
• When you delete your account, your account and everything you logged is deleted from our database. Short-lived backups held by our hosting provider may take a little longer to age out.

Security

The app uses encrypted connections (HTTPS). Passwords are stored only as salted hashes. Access to the database is limited to us and our hosting provider. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a strong password and tell us right away if you think your account was used by someone else.

Your choices and rights

• Remove entries: use the X next to any entry, or Remove on a Mind entry.
• Download or delete: with an account, open Menu, then Account, to download a copy of your data or delete your account and everything you logged. Deleting is permanent.
• AI features: you can turn AI off in Account. Logging by tapping never needs it.
• Microphone and camera: only used when you tap the voice button or scan a photo. You can turn either off in your iPhone Settings.
• Mind tab: optional, and you can hide it any time. Your entries stay saved until you remove them.
• Subscription: Premium is $7.99 a month through your Apple ID. It renews until you cancel in your Apple ID settings, at least 24 hours before the renewal date. Tap logging stays free.
• Ask us: write to [email protected] and we will access, correct, export or delete your data for you.

California, EU and UK residents

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to know what we hold about you, get a copy, correct it, delete it, object to or limit certain uses, and not be treated differently for using these rights. We do not sell or share personal information as those laws define them. We handle your information to provide the app you asked for (performance of our agreement with you), to keep it secure (legitimate interests), and with your consent for AI features, which you give when you tap Allow and can withdraw in Account. Our servers are in the United States, so your data is processed there. To use a right, email [email protected]; if you are not satisfied with our reply you may contact your local data protection authority.

Health information

You may choose to log health-related details such as workouts, supplements, bodyweight, injuries or a journal. You decide what to enter. We use it only to run the app for you, as described here. Fit Check is not a medical service and is not covered by health-privacy laws such as HIPAA.

Not medical advice

Fit Check shows you what you logged. Calorie and protein figures are estimates, including those read from your words or photos by AI. For a few named branded products we use figures published by the maker; those can change when a product is reformulated, so the package in your hand is always the authority. It does not give medical, dietitian or training advice. If something about your health is bothering you, talk to a doctor. The Mind tab is a practice log only and makes no medical claims.

Children

Fit Check is for adults and is not meant for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you think a child has given us information, email us and we will delete it.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that matters, we will update the date above and, for significant changes, tell you in the app.
