Privacy & HealthKit Policy
How FitSensei accesses, stores, and uses Health and fitness data on your device.
Information We Collect
FitSensei accesses Health & Fitness data from Apple Health (HealthKit) only with your explicit iOS permission. We currently read data on the device to display within the app. Types of data the app may request access to include (examples):
- Activity & workouts (HKWorkout)
- Heart rate and heart-related metrics (HKQuantityTypeIdentifierHeartRate)
- Sleep analysis (HKCategoryTypeIdentifierSleepAnalysis)
- Steps, distance, and calories
- Other health metrics you explicitly grant access to
| Data category | Use | Shared off device? |
|---|---|---|
| HealthKit / Health data | Displayed in-app, used for local features and analytics opt-in only | No — stored only on user device |
| Device & usage info | Local app behavior, optional aggregated analytics | Only if you opt-in to anonymized analytics |
| Crash logs | Optional anonymous crash reports (no identity) | Only if enabled and anonymized |
How We Use Your Information
We use data strictly to provide and improve the app experience. Specifically:
- Display your health & fitness metrics inside the app (on-device).
- Enable features like workout history, sleep charts, trends, and personalized suggestions — processed locally where possible.
- In future may collect anonymized, aggregated analytics and crash logs to improve app stability and features. These analytics do not include any personal identifiers or links to your identity.
Important: On-device storage & HealthKit
FitSensei does not transmit HealthKit or other personal health data to our servers. All HealthKit reads and derived displays happen on the device. If we ever change this behaviour, we will update this policy and ask for explicit consent before enabling any cloud sync or upload of health data.
Analytics & Crash Reporting (Optional)
We may request an opt-in to gather aggregated analytics and anonymous crash reports to improve the app. If enabled:
- Data is de-identified/aggregated and is not linked to your account or identity.
- We never include raw HealthKit health data tied to a user identity in analytics.
- You can opt out at any time from within the app settings.
Data Security & Retention
We follow industry best practices to protect data on the device. Because HealthKit data is read from the Health app and displayed locally, FitSensei keeps only the minimum derived data required for UI features. If analytics are enabled, aggregated summaries are kept only as long as needed to improve the product.
Data Sharing & Third Parties
We do not sell, trade, or share HealthKit or personal information with third parties. We may use third-party services for analytics or crash reporting (only after you opt-in). Any such service will receive only anonymized, non-identifying data and will be contractually required to follow data minimization and security practices.
Your Rights & Controls
- Health data permissions: You control which HealthKit data FitSensei can read via the iOS Health app or iOS Settings → Health → Data Access & Devices. Revoke access any time.
- Opt-out: You can disable any optional analytics/crash reporting in FitSensei's in-app settings.
- Delete local data: To remove local app data, use the app's account/settings screen (if applicable) or delete the app — this removes app data stored on-device. Contact us for assistance if needed.
Changes to this Policy
We may update this policy when we add features or change how data is handled. If we introduce cloud sync or server storage of health data, we will ask for explicit consent and clearly explain what is uploaded and how it is protected.
