Privacy Policy
1. What we collect
Account details. Your name, email address and sign-in method (email and password, Google or Apple). We never see your Google or Apple password.
Profile and goals. Age, sex, height, weight, activity level, running goals and the nutrition targets we calculate from them.
Food data. Meals you log, including photos you take or upload, and the nutrition estimates for them.
Activity data. Runs and workouts you log (distance, duration, pace, estimated calories). If you allow it, steps and other activity data from Health Connect. Distance and calories worked out from steps are estimates.
Technical data. Device type, app version and crash information, used to keep the app working.
2. How we use it
- To create and secure your account.
- To calculate your calorie and nutrition plan and show your progress.
- To analyze meal photos and text and estimate their nutrition.
- To sync your data across your devices.
- To send reminders, only if you turn notifications on.
- To fix bugs and improve the app.
We do not sell your personal data and we do not use it for third-party advertising.
3. Health data and AI
Health, body and activity information is sensitive. We use it only to provide the features above, and you control what the app can read in Health Connect. You can turn that access off at any time in your phone’s settings.
When you scan a meal, the photo or text is sent to a third-party AI service so it can produce a nutrition estimate. We send only what is needed for that analysis. AI results are estimates and can be wrong.
4. Who handles your data
We use service providers to run the app. They may only process data on our behalf.
- Clerk handles sign-in and account security.
- Supabase stores your profile, meals and runs.
- ImageKit stores your meal photos.
- An AI service provider analyzes meals.
We may also share data if the law requires it, or if the business is sold, in which case this policy continues to apply.
5. Storage and retention
We keep your data while your account is active. If you delete your account in the app, we delete your profile, meals, runs and photos, except what we must keep by law. Backups are cleared within 30 days.
6. Your rights
You can view and edit your data in the app, ask for a copy, correct it, or delete your account. Depending on where you live, laws such as the Kenya Data Protection Act, the GDPR or the CCPA give you further rights. To use any of them, email perchlabs20@gmail.com.
If you are unhappy with our response, you can complain to your local data protection authority.
7. Security
We use encrypted connections and trusted providers. No system is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Children
StrideFuel is not for people under 16. If we learn we hold data from someone under that age, we will delete it.
9. International transfers
Our providers may process data in other countries. We take steps to protect your data when it is transferred.
10. Changes
If we make important changes, we will tell you in the app or by email before they take effect.
