At StatMax Fitness AI ("we," "our," or "us"), we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclosure, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application and website.

1. Information We Collect

Personal Data

We collect personally identifiable information such as your name, email address, and age when you register for an account. We also collect physical metrics (weight, height, activity level) to calculate your BMI and fitness goals.

Image Data

When you use the Food Scan feature, you grant us permission to access your camera and photo library. These images are processed transiently to identify food items and are not permanently stored on our servers unless explicitly saved by you to your food diary.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To create and manage your account and fitness profile.
• To process your food logs and generate nutritional data using AI.
• To gamify your experience by awarding XP and leveling up your stats.
• To process payments and manage subscriptions via Apple App Store or Google Play.

3. AI Photo Handling & Data Minimization

We strictly adhere to a "Process & Purge" workflow to ensure data minimization:

• Temporary Storage: Photos uploaded for scanning are held in temporary storage only for the duration of the analysis.
• AI Analysis: Google's Gemini AI processes the image to extract nutritional metrics.
• Immediate Deletion: Once metrics are saved to your database, the original photo file is immediately and permanently deleted from our servers.
• Model Training: Your photos are never used to train our AI models unless you have explicitly enabled the "Data Donation" toggle in your privacy settings.

4. GDPR & Special Category Data

StatMax Fitness AI processes "Special Category Data" (Health Data) and potential Biometric Data (Photos) in compliance with GDPR Article 9.

• Explicit Consent: We require specific, opt-in consent for health data processing during onboarding, separate from our standard Terms of Service.
• Consent Tracking: We maintain a secure audit trail of your consent timestamp and version.

5. Data Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information. However, no electronic transmission over the internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

6. Your Rights & Erasure

Right to Erasure (Deletion)

You have the absolute right to have your data erased. Our "Delete Account & Data" feature performs a Cascading Hard Delete:

• Storage: All images associated with your User ID are wiped from storage buckets.
• Database: All fitness records, health metrics, and chat history are permanently removed.
• Authentication: Your user account and login credentials are deleted.

To execute this, visit Settings > Privacy Settings. For security, this action requires password re-authentication.

7. Data Retention & Auto-Deletion

We adhere to strict data retention limits to minimize privacy risks. Our automated system handles data lifecycles as follows:

• Manual Deletion (On Command): Users can instantly trigger the deletion process via the app settings. This calls our server-side deletion protocols immediately.
• Inactivity Auto-Purge: We utilize automated cron jobs to monitor account activity. If an account remains inactive for 90 days AND does not have an active subscription, all associated data (photos, metrics, logs) is automatically and permanently deleted. This ensures we do not hold data for users who have abandoned the platform.

1. Agreement to Terms

By using StatMax Fitness AI, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the application.

2. Medical Disclaimer (Important)

StatMax Fitness AI is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice. The content, including BMI calculations and nutritional information, is for informational and entertainment purposes only. Always consult a physician before starting any diet or exercise program.

3. User Accounts

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. You accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account.

4. Subscriptions and Refunds

Subscriptions (Soldier, Veteran, Legend tiers) are billed via the platform you downloaded the app from (Apple App Store or Google Play Store). Cancellation and refund requests must be processed through those respective platforms.

5. Token Usage

Certain AI features require "Tokens." Tokens are reset daily based on your subscription tier. Unused daily tokens do not roll over. Tokens purchased in bundles do not expire but are non-refundable.

6. Termination

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your account immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation if you breach the Terms.
