Privacy Policy
Last updated 27 August 2026. This policy explains exactly what ForgeFitWithSidd stores about you, who can see it, and how you stay in control. It is written to match how the app actually works — not as boilerplate.
Who we are
ForgeFitWithSidd is an online nutrition and exercise coaching platform operated by an independent coaching practice (“we”, “us”). When you sign up as a client, we act as the controller of your account data and your coach uses it to deliver coaching to you.
The data we collect
We only collect what the app needs to calculate your targets and let your coach support you. There is no advertising, no ad tracking, and we never sell your data.
| What | Why we need it | Who can see it |
|---|---|---|
| Account details (name, email, password) | Create and secure your login, send account emails. | You. Your coach sees your name and email. |
| Profile & health basics (age, sex, height, weight, goal, activity level, dietary preference, units) | Calculate your BMR, TDEE, calorie and macro targets. | You and your assigned coach. |
| Body measurements (weight, waist, chest, arms, hips, thighs) and weight history | Show trends, progress charts and weight-change widgets. | You and your assigned coach. |
| Progress photos and videos | Let your coach assess visual progress and technique. | You and your assigned coach only. Stored in a private bucket; links are short-lived and never public. |
| Food log entries and favourite foods | Track calories and macros against your targets. | You and your assigned coach. |
| Daily logs and check-ins (water, sleep, steps, energy, mood, hunger, stress, recovery) | Compliance scoring and coaching adjustments. | You and your assigned coach. |
| Assigned meal plans, workout plans and coach target overrides | Deliver your programme and any manual target adjustments. | You and the coach who assigned them. |
| Subscription, session credits and payment events | Manage your plan, entitlements, renewals and billing history. | You, and us for support and accounting. |
| Role and coach-client links | Decide what you can access and which coach supports you. | You, your coach, and the practice administrator. |
We do not collect precise location, contacts, or device identifiers, and we do not run third-party advertising trackers.
Health data and your consent
Body measurements, photos, food logs and check-ins are sensitive health-related data. We process them only with your consent, which you give by entering the data. Every field is optional beyond the basics needed to compute targets — you can skip measurements or photos and still use the app. Withdrawing consent is as simple as deleting the entries or asking us to delete your account.
What your coach can and cannot see
Access is enforced in the database, not just in the interface. A coach can only read your data while an active coach-client link exists between you both. Coaches cannot see clients they are not assigned to, cannot see your password, and cannot see your card details. If your coach is replaced, your records are transferred to the new coach so your history is not lost — you will see the change on your profile.
Payments
Payments are processed by Stripe. Card numbers are entered on Stripe’s checkout and never reach our servers. We store only the subscription status, plan, billing period, amounts, and payment event records needed to run your plan and show your billing history.
Where data is stored and who processes it
Your data is stored in our managed cloud database and private file storage. Our processors are: the cloud hosting and database provider, Stripe (payments), and the email provider used for account emails. Each is bound by its own data-processing terms and used only to run the service.
How long we keep it
Coaching data is kept while your account is active so trends stay meaningful. Delete an entry, photo or measurement at any time and it is removed. When an account is deleted, profile and coaching data is removed; a minimal audit record of the deletion and the financial records we are legally required to retain are kept.
Your rights
You can access, correct, export or delete your data, and object to processing. Most of this is self-service in the app: edit your profile, delete log entries, remove photos, or cancel your plan. For an export or full account deletion, contact your coach in the app and we will action it within 30 days.
Security
Access is authenticated on every request, coaching content sits behind row-level security rules, and media files live in a private bucket reachable only through expiring links. Passwords are hashed by our authentication provider and are never visible to us or your coach.
Children
ForgeFitWithSidd is not intended for anyone under 16. If you believe a minor has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.
Not medical advice
Targets, plans and insights in the app are coaching guidance, not medical advice. Speak to a qualified clinician before making changes if you have a medical condition, are pregnant, or are taking medication.
Changes and contact
If this policy changes materially we will let you know in the app before the change applies. Questions or requests: message your coach in the app, or reply to any account email you have received from us.
