FitDIY Privacy Policy

Effective July 3, 2026

FitDIY is a personal fitness tracker for food, weight, strength training, cardio, and Brazilian jiu-jitsu. It is built around a simple principle: your data stays on your device.

Data we collect

None. FitDIY has no accounts, no sign-in, no analytics, no telemetry, no advertising, and no tracking of any kind. We (the developer) never receive, store, or have access to anything you log in the app.

Where your data lives

Everything you record — food entries, weigh-ins, measurements, workouts, BJJ sessions, reflections, progress photos, and training videos — is stored locally in the app's private container on your device. Nothing is uploaded to us or to any cloud service by the app. Your device backups (e.g. iCloud device backup) are governed by your own device settings and Apple's policies.

Apple Health (HealthKit)

With your permission, FitDIY:

• writes your weigh-ins and workouts to Apple Health, so your other health apps can see them;
• reads body-weight entries (e.g. from a smart scale) and your step count, to keep your weight trend in sync and to improve the app's calorie estimates.

Health data is used only on your device, only for these features. It is never transmitted off the device, never shared with or sold to third parties, and never used for advertising, marketing, or data mining. You can revoke access at any time in Settings > Health.

Network requests

The only network requests FitDIY makes are barcode lookups: when you scan a packaged food, the app sends the barcode digits — and nothing else — to Open Food Facts and USDA FoodData Central to fetch nutrition facts. No personal information or identifiers accompany these requests. Results are cached on your device so repeat scans work offline.

Photos, videos, camera, and microphone

Camera access is used to scan barcodes and to record training clips and progress photos you choose to capture. All media stays in the app's private, on-device gallery under a storage-retention policy you control. Nothing is uploaded.

Deleting your data

Your data is yours to delete at any time: remove individual entries in the app, or delete the app to remove everything it stores. Samples the app wrote to Apple Health can be deleted in the Health app (Browse > your data type > Data Sources & Access).

Children

FitDIY is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect information from anyone (it collects no information at all).

Changes to this policy

If the app's data practices ever change, this page will be updated and the effective date revised before the change ships.
