Privacy Policy

Fat2Fit ("Fat2Fit," "we," "our," or "us") is a fitness, nutrition, progress, and coaching app from ForgeByte Lab. This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use the Fat2Fit mobile application (the "App").

1. Information You Choose to Provide

Depending on the features you use, Fat2Fit may store the following information on your device and, if enabled, through Apple services such as iCloud or CloudKit:

• Profile and goals: Name or nickname, age range, height, weight, fitness goals, preferences, and onboarding responses.
• Workout data: Exercises, sets, reps, duration, cardio sessions, training history, workout notes, related progress metrics, and readings from Bluetooth fitness equipment you connect.
• Nutrition data: Food logs, calories, macros, water intake, recipes, barcode or search results, meal notes, and related nutrition estimates.
• Body progress: Weight history, measurements, progress photos, and goal tracking details you choose to add.
• Medication log: If you use the optional GLP-1 medication log, the medication name and dose you type in, the doses you record, any side-effect notes you add, and your reminder schedule. The App never suggests a medication or a dose.
• User content: Journal entries, saved preferences, custom workouts, favorites, recipes you import, and other content you create in the App.

2. Apple Health and Fitness Data

If you grant Apple Health permission, Fat2Fit can read and/or write selected workout, activity, body, nutrition, and health-related data to support fitness tracking. HealthKit access is controlled by you in Apple Health permissions.

We do not sell HealthKit data. We do not use HealthKit data for advertising. We do not share HealthKit data with third parties for marketing.

3. Camera, Photos, Location, Notifications, and Apple Watch

• Camera and Photos: Used when you choose to add progress photos, scan foods or barcodes, or analyze food images.
• Location: Used only if you allow features such as outdoor workout route or activity context. You can disable location access in iOS Settings.
• Notifications: Used for reminders, workout nudges, streaks, or app alerts when you enable notifications.
• Apple Watch: Used to support watch-based workout tracking and workout communication between your iPhone and Apple Watch.
• Bluetooth: Used only when you connect a treadmill, bike, rower, walking pad, or heart-rate strap, to read speed, distance, and heart rate during a workout and, on supported machines, to set the speed you choose. These readings stay on your device.
• Microphone and speech recognition: Used only when you choose to log food or talk to the coach by voice. Speech is recognized on your device.

4. AI, Food, Recipe, and Barcode Features

Fat2Fit may include AI-assisted food, recipe, workout, and coaching tools. Some features may process information locally on your device, while others may use Apple services or app-configured online services to return food, recipe, barcode, or nutrition information.

By default, the AI coach and food analysis run on your device using Apple's on-device intelligence — there is no Fat2Fit AI server and no bundled API keys. You may optionally turn on an "enhanced cloud model" and enter your own third-party AI provider key (such as Anthropic, Google, or an OpenAI-compatible provider). Only then is the relevant coaching prompt or food photo sent directly from your device to that provider under your own account, governed by that provider's privacy policy. We never receive that data.

AI and nutrition outputs are estimates. You should review important health, allergy, calorie, macro, workout, and medical decisions yourself or with a professional.

5. Purchases and Subscriptions

Fat2Fit is free and sells nothing in the App. Subscriptions bought before version 2.3 were processed by Apple's App Store; we never received or stored your payment card number. The App reads only whether such a subscription is still renewing, on your device, so it can show you where to cancel it.

6. How Information Is Stored

Most app data is stored on your device. If you enable iCloud sync or use Apple account features, Apple may store and sync your data through iCloud or CloudKit under your Apple ID. Apple's terms and privacy policies govern Apple's services.

7. Third-Party Services

Fat2Fit does not sell your personal data and does not use third-party advertising. Certain optional features may rely on service providers for app functionality, such as Apple services for HealthKit, iCloud, StoreKit, Sign in with Apple, notifications, and Apple Watch, or food/recipe/barcode lookup services where available.

Where you use those features, the App may contact the following providers, sending only the search term you enter or the barcode you scan — never your name, account, or health data: Open Food Facts and USDA FoodData Central (food and barcode nutrition), Wikipedia (short definitions in the coach), DuckDuckGo (the coach's optional web look-ups), YouTube (exercise-form and cardio videos), and a recipe website you choose when you import a recipe from its link. The recipe library and its photos (from Wikimedia Commons, credited in the App) are built into the App and need no network. Each provider has its own privacy policy.

8. Data Deletion

You can delete app data from inside Fat2Fit where available, delete local data from your device, and manage iCloud data through Apple settings. Deleting app data does not cancel a subscription bought before Fat2Fit became free; manage that in your Apple ID subscription settings.

9. Children's Privacy

Fat2Fit is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
