GritFit — AI Fitness Planner | Last Updated: April 13, 2026

Introduction

GritFit ("we," "our," or "the App") is an AI-powered fitness and nutrition planning application. We take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide

  • Profile Information: Name, age, gender, height, and weight. Used to calculate your caloric needs, macro targets, and tailor your training program.
  • Body Photos: Front, back, and/or side photos you upload for AI body composition analysis. These are used solely to generate your personalized fitness plan and are not stored after your plan is generated.
  • Fitness Preferences: Your selected fitness goal, training schedule, and available equipment.

Information We Do NOT Collect

  • Biometric identifiers — We do not collect fingerprints, facial geometry, retina scans, voiceprints, or any data used to uniquely identify individuals. Our AI analyzes body photos for physique assessment only, similar to a visual assessment by a personal trainer. No biometric templates are created or stored.
  • Facial recognition data — We do not use facial recognition technology
  • Location data
  • Contacts or address book
  • Financial or payment information
  • Health data from Apple HealthKit or any wearable device

How We Use Your Information

  • Plan Generation: Your profile data and photos are sent to our secure server, which forwards them to the Anthropic API (Claude) to generate your personalized workout and nutrition plan.
  • App Functionality: To display your plan, track your workout progress, and calculate your nutritional targets.

We do not use your information for advertising, and we do not sell your data to third parties.

AI Processing and Photo Handling

GritFit uses Anthropic's Claude API to analyze your body photos and generate fitness plans. Here is how your photos are handled:

  1. Compression: Photos are compressed on your device before being transmitted.
  2. Transmission: Compressed photos are sent over an encrypted connection (TLS) to our server.
  3. Processing: Anthropic's AI analyzes the photos to assess body type and estimate body composition.
  4. Automatic Deletion (Default): By default, photos are processed in real time and are immediately deleted after your plan is generated. They are NOT stored on our servers or by Anthropic.
  5. Progress Tracking (Opt-In Only): If you explicitly choose to save photos for progress comparison, they will be stored securely in your private, encrypted storage. You maintain full control and can delete saved progress photos at any time.
  6. No Training: Your photos and data are never used to train any AI models.

Data Storage and Security

  • Encryption at Rest: All stored user data is encrypted using AES-256 encryption.
  • Encryption in Transit: All data transmitted is encrypted using TLS.
  • Database Security: User data is stored with row-level security ensuring users can only access their own data.

Data Retention

  • Photos (Default): Automatically deleted immediately after plan generation. Not retained unless you opt-in to progress tracking.
  • Progress Photos (Opt-In): If you choose to save photos for progress comparison, they are retained until you delete them or delete your account.
  • Profile Data: Retained as long as your account is active. Deleted within 30 days of account deletion.
  • Workout and Meal Plans: Retained as long as your account is active.

Your Rights

  • Access Your Data: View all personal information we hold about you within the app's settings.
  • Delete Your Data: Delete your account and all associated data at any time.
  • Withdraw Consent: You can stop using AI photo analysis at any time by skipping the photo upload step.

Age Requirement

GritFit is intended for users 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a user under 18, we will delete that information promptly.
