Data Storage & Security

Your privacy and security are paramount:

• Encryption: All data is encrypted both in transit and at rest using industry-standard encryption.
• Secure Storage: Photos and measurements are stored securely using Firebase Storage and Cloud Firestore.
• Authentication: We use secure sign-in with Apple and Google, so we never store your passwords.
• Private by Default: Your account and all data are private by default. Nothing is public unless you explicitly choose to share.
• Regular Backups: Your data is automatically backed up to prevent loss, but only you can access it.

Fitness Buddy & Coach Sharing (Optional)

Body Progress includes optional sharing features that let you share your journey with a Fitness Buddy (friend or accountability partner) or with your own registered personal trainer/Coach.

How It Works

• Disabled by Default: Sharing is turned off by default. Your data stays visible only to you until you choose to enable it.
• Explicit Permission: You must specifically add a Fitness Buddy, or register under a personal trainer/Coach and expressly grant permission, before anything is shared.
• Selective Sharing: You choose which photos, measurements, or progress updates to share with a specific buddy or Coach.
• Revoke Anytime: You can remove a buddy or Coach and stop sharing at any time, and they immediately lose access to your data.
• Never Public: Shared data is only visible to the specific buddy or Coach you granted access to. It's never made public or shared with anyone else.

Your Control

You have complete control over sharing:

• Enable or disable sharing at any time
• Choose individual photos or measurements to share
• Remove a Fitness Buddy or Coach instantly
• Delete shared content whenever you want
• All sharing requires your explicit consent, your data is 100% secured and in your control

Health Data

If you choose to integrate with Apple Health or Google Fit:

• We only access the specific health data you grant permission for
• Health data is used solely to populate your measurements and charts
• You can revoke health data access at any time through your device settings
• We never share your health data with third parties
• Health data integration is completely optional
