Privacy Policy - FitForge

1. Introduction

Welcome to FitForge ("we," "us," "our," or "Company"). FitForge is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains our data practices for the FitForge mobile application (the "App") available on iOS and Android platforms.

Key Principle: FitForge is designed as an offline-first application. Your workout data is stored locally on your device by default, and we minimize data collection to the absolute minimum necessary to provide the service.

2. What Data We Collect

FitForge collects minimal data. Here's exactly what we may collect:

• Workout Data: Exercise names, sets, reps, weights, dates, and notes you manually enter - stored locally on your device
• Profile Information: Your name, bio, and profile photo (if you choose to add one) - stored locally on your device
• App Usage Data: Basic analytics to understand app performance and feature usage (sent to our servers)
• Device Information: Device type, OS version, and app version for technical support and improvements
• Contact Information: Your email address only if you voluntarily contact us for support

What We Don't Collect: We do not collect, store, or transmit your actual workout details (exercises, sets, reps, weights) to our servers. These remain private on your device unless you explicitly choose to sync or export them.

3. How We Use Your Data

We use collected data only for the following purposes:

• App Functionality: To store and display your workout data locally on your device
• Service Improvement: To understand how users interact with the app and fix bugs
• Technical Support: To respond to your support requests or troubleshoot issues
• Analytics: To measure app performance, feature adoption, and user engagement (aggregated, non-identifying)
• Legal Compliance: To comply with applicable laws and regulations

4. Local Data Storage (Offline-First)

Your workout data is stored on your mobile device using local device storage. This data is not sent to our servers except for:

• Aggregated, anonymized analytics about feature usage
• Error reports (if app crashes)
• Data you explicitly choose to export or sync (if applicable)

You maintain full control over your data. Deleting the app will delete all locally stored workout data (unless you've created a backup).

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, lease, or share your personal data with third parties. Your data is private.

We may share data only in the following limited circumstances:

• With Service Providers: Third-party services we use for analytics, crash reporting, or hosting (e.g., Firebase, Sentry) - these services are contractually obligated to protect your data
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose data if required by law, court order, or government request
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or bankruptcy, your data may be transferred (you'll be notified)

6. Data Security

We take data security seriously. We implement standard security measures including:

• Secure transmission of data using encryption (HTTPS/TLS)
• Regular security updates to the application
• Secure server infrastructure with industry-standard protections
• Limited access to user data by our team

However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your data:

• Access: You can access your data at any time within the app
• Correction: You can edit or correct your data directly in the app
• Deletion: You can delete your data by deleting the app or clearing app data through device settings
• Export: You can export or backup your data in formats you can use
• Opt-Out: You can disable analytics in app settings

To exercise these rights or for queries about your data, contact us using the information in Section 10.

8. Children's Privacy

FitForge is not designed for children under 13 years old. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will delete such information and restrict the child's access to the service.

9. Third-Party Services

FitForge may use third-party services for analytics, crash reporting, and infrastructure. These services have their own privacy policies:

• Google Firebase: Analytics and crash reporting (https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy/)
• Apple/Google Services: Used for app distribution and may collect technical data

We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these third-party services independently.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. We will notify you of material changes by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy and, where required by law, by other means (such as email).

Your continued use of the App after any modifications indicates your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
