3. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share your data only in these limited circumstances:
- Service Providers: We use third-party services to operate the App, including cloud hosting (for data storage), email delivery services (for password reset and support emails), AI services (for PDF program parsing and the AI Program Builder), and purchase infrastructure (for validating app store purchases and managing subscriptions). These providers process data on our behalf and are contractually obligated to protect it.

- Safety and Rights: We may disclose information to protect the rights, property, or safety of PDF Fit, our users, or the public.

We do not share your data with advertising networks or data brokers.
4. Data Storage and Security
- Your data is stored on secure servers with industry-standard encryption in transit (TLS/SSL) and at rest.
- Passwords are cryptographically hashed and never stored in plain text.
- We implement access controls, regular security audits, and monitoring to protect your data.
- Guest mode data is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to our servers unless you create an account.
While we take reasonable measures to protect your information, no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
5. Data Retention
- Active Accounts: We retain your data for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide you with the App's services.
- Deleted Accounts: When you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.
- Guest Data: Guest mode data is stored only on your device and is deleted when you clear the app data or uninstall the App.
- Backup Retention: Encrypted backups may retain your data for up to 90 days after account deletion for disaster recovery purposes, after which it is permanently deleted.
- Moderation Records: If you report AI-generated content or send us feedback, we keep the report itself (with your account identity removed if you later delete your account) as a record of our content-safety review.

| Purchases — RevenueCat, Inc. |
Validating app store purchases and managing subscription status |
Store transaction identifiers, product identifiers and subscription status. Payment itself is processed by Apple or Google — card details never reach us or RevenueCat. |

Each third-party service provider is bound by data processing agreements and is required to protect your data in accordance with applicable laws.
9. Children's Privacy
The App is not intended for use by children under the age of 16 (or 13 in jurisdictions where a lower age threshold applies). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a child without parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information promptly. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.
10. International Data Transfers
Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence. These countries may have different data protection laws. When we transfer your data internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including:
- Standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.
- Data processing agreements with all service providers.
- Compliance with applicable cross-border data transfer regulations.
11. Biometric Data
The App supports optional biometric authentication (Face ID/Touch ID) for convenient login. Biometric data is processed entirely on your device using your device's built-in security framework (Apple Face ID/Touch ID or Android BiometricPrompt). We never receive, transmit, or store your biometric data on our servers.
12. Push Notifications
You may opt in to receive push notifications for workout reminders and other updates. You can disable push notifications at any time through your device settings. We do not use push notification tokens for tracking or advertising.
13. Cookies and Tracking
The App does not use cookies. We do not participate in cross-app tracking or targeted advertising, and we do not use advertising SDKs.
Analytics and crash reporting. With your consent, the App uses Google Analytics for Firebase and Firebase Crashlytics (provided by Google Ireland Limited) to measure aggregate feature usage and to diagnose crashes.
- Legal basis: your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)), and consent to storage on your device under ePrivacy Directive Art. 5(3). Analytics and crash collection are disabled in the App as shipped. Nothing is collected unless you opt in.
- What is collected: a randomly generated app-instance identifier, device model, operating system version, app version, coarse country, the names of screens you visit, and feature-usage events (for example: a workout was started, a PDF was imported). Crash reports additionally include stack traces.
- What is never collected: your name, email address, account identifier, password, workout or body-measurement data, PDF contents, precise location, or any advertising identifier. Collection of the Android Advertising ID (AdID), Android ID (SSAID) and the iOS Vendor Identifier (IDFV) is explicitly disabled, so the App cannot be used to build a cross-app advertising profile.
- How to withdraw consent: open Profile → Privacy and turn off “Share anonymous usage data”. Withdrawal takes effect immediately: collection stops and the App instructs Google to reset the app-instance identifier and discard locally queued analytics data. Withdrawing is as easy as granting, and you can change your mind at any time.
- Retention: analytics event data is retained by Google for a maximum of 14 months from collection and then deleted automatically. Crash reports are retained for 90 days.
- Declining costs you nothing: every feature of the App works identically whether you consent or not.
AI Program Builder & Health-Related Information
The AI Program Builder creates a personalized training program from the answers you give in an in-app interview. Because some of those answers can reveal information about your health, including injuries, physical limitations, pregnancy or postpartum status and health screening answers, this feature works only with your explicit consent, given when you start the interview, and the information is used solely to generate your program.
- What is sent to the AI provider: only the interview answers themselves. Your name, email address and account identifiers are never included in what the AI model sees.
- No AI training on your data: our AI provider (Anthropic) processes this data as our service provider and does not use it to train its models.
- Safety screening: the feature declines to generate programs for users under 16, during pregnancy or postpartum recovery, or where answers suggest a condition that needs medical clearance first.
- Not medical advice: generated programs are general fitness information. They are not medical advice, and you should consult a health professional before starting any exercise program.
- Reporting: you can report any generated program from within the app; reports are reviewed by a human.
- Deletion: your interview answers and generation records are deleted with your account, as described in the retention section above.
Purchases, Credits & Subscriptions
Payments are processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play. We never receive or store your card or bank details. To deliver what you bought, we receive and store: the store's transaction identifier, the product purchased, and (for PDF Fit Pro) your subscription status, via our purchase-infrastructure provider RevenueCat. We also keep a ledger of the credits on your account (for example PDF import credits and program credits) and when they were granted and spent. Subscriptions renew and are cancelled through your app store account; refunds are handled under the store's policies.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will:
- Update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
- Notify you via email or in-app notification for significant changes.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically for any changes.
