Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how your personal information is handled when you use the FitMyLife mobile application (the "App"). FitMyLife is operated by its independent developer ("we", "us", "our"), a sole trader based in New South Wales, Australia. We handle personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

The short version: FitMyLife is built to keep your data on your device. We do not operate accounts or a backend server that stores your health information, and we do not sell your data. The only times information leaves your device are described in the "Information that leaves your device" section below.

1. Who we are and how to contact us

FitMyLife is an independently operated app. For any privacy question or request, contact us at hello@fitmylife.app.

2. Information we collect and store on your device

Almost all information you enter or that the App reads is stored locally on your device using Apple's on-device database (SwiftData). It is not transmitted to us or to any server we control. This includes:

• Health and activity metrics read from Apple Health (HealthKit) — see section 3.
• Workouts — logged, scheduled and completed workouts, sets, reps, weights, durations, templates and custom exercises.
• Nutrition — meals, food items, meal photos, and hydration entries.
• Body metrics — weight and body-fat entries.
• Goals and gamification — fitness goals, streaks, badges and levels.
• Profile and settings — date of birth, gender, height, activity level, units and goal preferences you choose.
• Reproductive health (sensitive information) — if you use cycle tracking, the period start/end dates, flow level, symptoms and notes you record. See section 5.

3. Apple Health (HealthKit)

With your permission, the App reads the following data from Apple Health to display your activity and trends: steps; walking, running, cycling and swimming distance; active energy (calories burned); exercise minutes; stand hours; heart rate and resting heart rate; sleep analysis; body mass; body-fat percentage; height; and workout sessions.

The App only reads from Apple Health — it does not write data back to Apple Health. HealthKit data is processed on your device and is governed by Apple's own privacy protections. We never receive your HealthKit data on any server, and we do not use it for advertising or share it with third parties.

4. Information that leaves your device

There are a limited number of features that require sending information to third parties to work. In each case, only the information needed for that feature is sent:

• Meal analysis (AI nutrition). When you ask the App to analyse a meal, the meal photo (or the text description you type) is sent to our AI provider, Anthropic, PBC, which runs the Claude model used to identify foods and estimate nutrition. The result is returned to your device and stored locally. We do not send your name, health metrics, or any account identifier with these requests (we don't have an account system). Anthropic processes the request to return a result and, under its commercial API terms, does not use API inputs or outputs to train its models. Anthropic processes data in the United States; see section 8 on overseas disclosure.
• Exercise reference content. When you view guidance for an exercise, the exercise name is sent to third-party exercise databases (ExerciseDB via RapidAPI, Wger, and MuscleWiki) to retrieve instructions, target muscles, images or videos. No personal information is included — only the exercise name.
• Barcode food lookup. When you scan a product barcode, the barcode number is sent to the Open Food Facts database to retrieve product and nutrition information. No personal information is included.
• Subscriptions. Purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store using StoreKit. We never see or receive your payment-card details. Apple's handling of your purchase is governed by Apple's privacy policy.

Aside from the above, nothing else leaves your device — we do not transmit your workouts, body metrics, reproductive-health data, calendar data, or HealthKit data anywhere.

5. Sensitive information and reproductive health

Cycle-tracking data is "sensitive information" under the Privacy Act. If you choose to use cycle tracking, the dates, flow levels, symptoms and notes you record are stored only on your device. This information is never transmitted off your device, is never sent to us or any third party, and is not used for any purpose other than showing you your own information and predictions within the App. By entering this information you consent to it being stored on your device as described. You can delete it at any time (section 9).

6. Camera, photos and calendar

Camera and photo library: used only so you can capture or choose a meal photo. Photos are stored locally with your meal entries. A photo is only transmitted off-device if you specifically use the meal analysis feature (section 4).

Calendar: if you enable calendar sync, the App reads your device calendar to find events whose titles match workout-related keywords you configure, and saves the matching events as scheduled workouts on your device. Calendar data is read on-device and is not sent anywhere.

7. What we do not do

• We do not require an account, email address or password to use the App.
• We do not sell or rent your personal information.
• We do not use third-party advertising, ad networks, or cross-app tracking, and we do not access the device advertising identifier (IDFA).
• We do not collect your location or your contacts.
• We do not currently use third-party analytics or crash-reporting SDKs. If we introduce optional analytics in future, it will be opt-in and described here before it is enabled.

8. Overseas disclosure

The meal-analysis feature (section 4) sends the relevant photo or text to Anthropic, PBC in the United States. The exercise and barcode lookups (section 4) may be served from providers located outside Australia. By using those specific features you agree to that information being disclosed to those overseas recipients for the purpose of returning a result. We do not disclose any other personal information overseas.

9. Accessing, exporting and deleting your data

Because your data lives on your device, you are in control of it:

• Export: the App can generate a downloadable archive of your data in JSON format (Settings → Privacy → Download My Data).
• Delete: you can delete your data from within the App, and uninstalling the App removes the local database from your device.
• HealthKit permissions: you can review or revoke the App's access to Apple Health at any time in the iOS Health app or Settings.

Under the APPs you may request access to, or correction of, the personal information we hold about you. In practice we do not hold your personal information on our own systems — it remains on your device — but if you have a request or concern, contact hello@fitmylife.app.

10. Security

Your data is stored within the App's protected storage on your device and benefits from iOS device-level encryption and the security of your device passcode/biometrics. The App also offers optional Face ID / Touch ID lock, which is handled entirely on-device by Apple and is not used to authenticate to any server. No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, but we design the App to minimise the information that ever leaves your device.

11. Children

FitMyLife is not directed to children and is intended for users aged 16 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date above reflects the latest version, and material changes will be communicated within the App.

13. Complaints

If you believe we have mishandled your personal information, please contact us first at hello@fitmylife.app so we can address it. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au.
