muscleroPrivacy policy
Musclero is a fitness app for workouts, food and coaching. Most of what you log stays on your phone. This page explains what leaves it, why, and how to remove it.
Who we are
Musclero (the app and musclero.fit) is responsible for your information. Write to us at [email protected] about anything on this page, including privacy requests.
What stays on your phone
These are saved on your phone only. We don't receive them unless you share them with a coach (see below):
- The details you enter about yourself: age, sex, height, weight, goal, activity level and any health conditions you choose.
- Your food log, water, meal plans and grocery lists.
- Your workouts, sets, personal records, weight history and step counts.
- Your settings, such as units, reminders and appearance.
Deleting the app removes them. So does deleting your account in the app.
What reaches our servers
| What | Why |
|---|---|
| An account ID, created when you first open the app. Your email, if you add one. | To keep your Premium, scans, levels and badges, and to let you sign in on another phone. We use your email only to send sign-in codes. |
| Meal photos you scan. | Sent to our AI provider to estimate the foods, then discarded. We keep the food names and estimates the scan returned, the time, and its cost to us, but not the photo. |
| Purchases: Premium status, scan credits and receipts from the App Store or Google Play. | To give you what you paid for and to keep accounting records. |
| Days you kept, your level and your badges. | To show your level and badges, and the leaderboards. |
| If you join the Feed: your Feed name, bio, photo, posts, photos, videos, comments, 💪, follows, reports and blocks. | To run the community. Your posts and your Feed profile (name, photo, level and animal badge) are visible to other members. |
| Messages you send to other members. | To deliver them. |
| If you work with a coach: the meals, workouts, weight and progress photos you choose to share, messages, your coach's notes and program, and your review of the coach. | So your coach can coach you. You choose what to share, and sharing stops when the link ends. |
| If you are a coach: your coach name, code, the members you referred, earnings, payouts and payout details. | To credit and pay you, and for accounting. |
| A notification token for your phone, and which notifications you turned on. | To send the notifications you asked for. |
| A coach code or referral link you used. | To credit the coach who referred you. |
We don't sell your information, show ads, or track you across other apps and websites.
Health information
Your body measurements, health conditions and food and workout logs are sensitive. They stay on your phone unless you choose to share them with a coach. Musclero gives general fitness and nutrition guidance, not medical advice.
Who helps us run Musclero
These services process information for us, only for the purposes above:
- Supabase: our database, sign-in and file storage.
- Groq: runs the AI that reads meal photos.
- USDA FoodData Central: food search (only the words you search for).
- Open Food Facts: barcode lookups (only the barcode number, sent from your phone).
- Apple, Google and RevenueCat: purchases and subscriptions.
- Expo: delivers notifications to your phone.
- Resend: sends sign-in code emails.
- Cloudflare: hosts this website and runs Turnstile, a check that a person (not a bot) is creating an account. See the Turnstile privacy addendum.
When you share a post or card to Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, WhatsApp or another app, that app receives what you share under its own privacy policy.
These services may store information outside your country. We choose providers that protect it with encryption and access controls.
How long we keep it
We keep your information while your account exists. When you delete your account, we delete what's listed above, except:
- Purchase records, kept without your name or account for accounting and tax.
- A coach's earnings and payout records, kept for as long as the law requires.
Deleted information can stay in encrypted backups for a short time until the backups expire.
Your choices and rights
- Delete your account in the app: Profile & Settings → Delete account. More about deleting your account.
- Stop sharing with a coach by ending the link in the app.
- Turn off notifications in Profile & Settings or in your phone's settings.
- Ask for a copy of what we hold about you, or ask us to correct or delete it, by writing to [email protected]. We'll reply within 30 days. You can also complain to your country's data protection authority (in the Philippines, the National Privacy Commission).
Children
Musclero isn't meant for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information. You must be 18 or older to post, comment or send messages on the Feed, and to be a coach. If you believe a child has given us information, write to us and we'll delete it.
Security
Information travels encrypted. On our servers, access rules let each member reach only their own information, plus what others have chosen to share with them.
Changes
When this policy changes, we update the date at the top. For important changes, we'll also tell you in the app.
