FitCheck Global Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

ALMAREN LABS LLC ("we", "us", "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you use the FitCheck app and web services. We have designed this policy to align with global privacy standards, including the GDPR and CCPA, as well as app store requirements.

2. Information We Collect

To provide you with our fitness and nutrition services, we collect the following data:

Identity & Account Data: Username, email address, secure encrypted passwords, and notification preferences.

Health-Adjacent / Sensitive Data: Gender, age, height, weight, physical activity level, fitness goals, and optional profile pictures.

Usage & Community Data: Workout logs, meal entries, custom foods, forum posts, replies, likes, and follows.

Technical Data: Device notification identifiers (push tokens), limited diagnostic or crash-related information that may be collected by your device or app distribution platform (such as Apple or Google) as part of normal store or operating-system services, and standard server connection logs.

3. How We Use Your Data

We process your data for the following purposes:

Service Provision: To create your account, sync data across devices, and maintain session security.

Algorithmic Calculations: We use your age, height, weight, and gender to calculate personalized metrics like BMI, BMR, and daily calorie/macronutrient targets. This automated processing is a core feature of the app to help you reach your goals.

Community Safety: To moderate user-generated content and manage blocked user lists.

Communication: To send necessary transactional emails (e.g., password resets).

Note: We do not sell your personal data to data brokers. Health and fitness data is never used or shared for advertising purposes.

Who can see your information: Data you provide for private tracking and calculations (including health-adjacent profile fields and your personal workout/meal logs) is processed for your account and is not shown to other users through those private features. Community features (for example, forum posts and replies, and any profile or content you choose to share publicly) may be visible to other users as designed by those features.

4. Data Storage and Third-Party Subprocessors

Your primary account data and logs are securely hosted on cloud servers located in Sweden (European Union). We use trusted third-party providers for specific functions:

• Cloud hosting and database management.
• Transactional email infrastructure.
• App store platforms (Apple, Google) for distribution and basic analytics.
