Privacy Policy

Who we are

Always Forward Health ("we", "our", "us") operates the Always Forward Health app. Our operator is Always Forward Health, located in the United States. For any privacy question or request, contact us at support@always-forward-fit.com.

1. Information We Collect

• Account: email address, and name if you provide it. If you sign in with Google, we receive the email and basic profile your Google account shares.
• Date of birth / age confirmation: we confirm you are 18 or older to satisfy our age requirement. We do not store a birth date unless you enter one.
• Profile: age, gender, fitness goals, fitness level, equipment, training location and schedule, dietary preferences, allergies/restrictions, injuries, and targets you set.
• Workouts: logged sessions, exercises, sets, reps, weight, duration, and notes you enter.
• Nutrition & habits: foods, meals, macros, water, sleep, fasting, supplements, and habit check-ins you log.
• Body metrics & progress: weight, body measurements, body fat, resting heart rate, mood, energy, and progress photos you upload.
• GPS activity: when you start a tracked session, your device records location points to calculate distance and route. Those coordinates are saved with that workout record so you can review your path. Location is used only to compute distance/route for the session you started, is never sold, and can be deleted by deleting the workout.
• Medical records (optional): medications, allergies, lab results, medical history, vaccinations, emergency contacts, and appointments you choose to enter.
• Functional health (optional): symptoms, menstrual cycle, digestive notes, pain, energy, and other self-reported health observations.
• Referrals: referral codes you enter or share.
• Payments & subscriptions: subscription status and, where relevant, transaction data handled by our payment processor.
• AI coach messages: the prompts you send and the coaching replies generated in the app.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To deliver personalized fitness, nutrition, recovery, and habit coaching.
• To track progress, habits, and achievements.
• To send optional reminders and summaries (streaks, briefings, reports).
• To operate subscriptions, payments, loyalty, and referral features you use.
• To maintain and improve the app and prevent abuse.

3. What We Do Not Do

• We do not sell your personal or health data.
• We do not share your data for cross-context advertising.
• We do not use your health data to train models for third parties.

4. Third Parties We Share With

• Base44 — the platform that hosts the app, database, authentication, and backend functions. Your data is stored on Base44 infrastructure under their data-handling terms.
• Google — for Google sign-in, when you choose it, and for the Android app distribution and Google Play billing where applicable.
• Stripe — our payment processor for web subscriptions. Stripe receives what it needs to process payments (email, billing) under its own terms.
• Email service — used to send transactional and reminder emails to the address you registered.
• Analytics — we may use product analytics to understand usage. Where session recording is used, it is disabled in production for this health app. You will be told if that changes.

Each third party receives only what is needed for its function and is responsible for its own privacy practices.

5. Data Security

Records are access-controlled per user through row-level security, so each user can only read or modify their own data (team admins managing team members are the only exception). Sensitive health records (medical, functional health) are private to you. No method of transmission or storage is fully secure, but we use reasonable measures to protect your data.

6. GPS & Location

Location is collected only while you actively start a tracked GPS session. The recorded points are stored with that workout record and used only to calculate distance and show your route. They are not sold, not used for advertising, and not shared. Deleting the workout deletes its stored location. You can stop location collection at any time by ending the session or by revoking location permission in your device settings.

7. Wearables & Health Devices

We do not currently connect to Apple Health, Google Health Connect, Garmin, Fitbit, Whoop, Oura, or any other wearable device. We do not sync HRV, sleep stages, or live heart-rate data from a device. If you log recovery or sleep values manually, the app uses that self-entered data. We will update this section if and when a real wearable integration ships.

8. Data Retention & Deletion

We keep your data while your account is active. You can delete your account and associated data at any time from Account Settings → Delete Account in the app. A full account deletion removes your profile, workouts, nutrition logs, habits, progress entries, body metrics, medical records, functional health logs, GPS activity, wearable readings, referrals, loyalty/gamification data, coach messages, and associated records. Uploaded files linked to deleted records are removed where feasible.

If you cannot sign in, you can request deletion by emailing support@always-forward-fit.com from the address associated with your account. Include "Account deletion request" in the subject. We verify identity before deleting and respond within the time required by applicable law. You can also request a copy of your data or that we correct it.

9. Age (18+)

This app is for users 18 years and older. We do not knowingly allow anyone under 18 to create an account or use the Service. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has registered, contact us and we will delete the account and data.

10. Your Rights

• Access, correct, or export your data.
• Delete your account and data at any time (see section 8).
• Withdraw optional integrations, such as calendar sync.
• Object to or restrict certain processing where the law allows.

11. Medical Disclaimer

Always Forward Health is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. Guidance is informational wellness coaching only. Consult a qualified healthcare professional before starting any exercise or nutrition program.

It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider with questions about a medical condition. We are not a HIPAA-covered entity. Medical and functional-health records you enter are private to your account only — not even account admins or team managers can read them.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above. We encourage you to review it periodically.
