3. AI Features & Data Processing

AI Trainer (Chat)

Messages you type are sent to our AI service to generate fitness coaching responses. Chat history may be retained temporarily to maintain conversation context.

Food Photo Analysis

Photos you take or select are transmitted securely to our AI service to estimate the nutritional content of your meal. Photos are processed and are not permanently stored on our servers after analysis.

Recipe Generation

Ingredients and meal preferences you select are sent to our AI service to generate recipe suggestions. No photos are involved in this feature.

Workout Plan Generation

Your fitness profile (goal, experience level, equipment, focus area) is sent to our AI service to generate personalised workout plans.

All AI-generated content is for informational purposes only and may not be 100% accurate.

4. Google Sign-In

If you choose to sign in with Google, we receive your name and email address from Google. We do not receive or store your Google password. Your use of Google Sign-In is also governed by Google's Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy.

5. Camera & Photo Library Access

The App requests camera and photo library access solely for the food photo analysis feature in Nutrition Tracking. We do not access your camera or photos for any other purpose. Photos are transmitted securely and are not stored after AI analysis is complete.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with:

  • AI service providers — to power the AI Trainer, food analysis, recipe generation, and workout plan features
  • Google — for authentication if you use Google Sign-In

All third-party providers are bound by data processing agreements and may not use your data for their own purposes.

7. Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored on secure servers. We use:

  • HTTPS encryption for all data transmitted between the app and our servers
  • Secure token-based authentication (JWT)
  • Hashed password storage

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. Workout logs, meal logs, and fitness profile data are deleted when you delete your account.

8. Your Rights & Account Deletion

You have the right to:

  • Access the data we hold about you
  • Correct inaccurate data via the profile edit screen
  • Delete your account and all associated data

To delete your account, tap "Delete Account" on the Profile screen or email us at privacy@yourpocketgym.com. Account deletion is processed within 30 days.
