Consumer health data privacy policy
This policy is for people in Washington, Nevada, Connecticut and other states with laws on consumer health data, such as Washington’s My Health My Data Act. It covers the health data FitMello handles, and adds to our privacy policy, which covers everything else.
The health data FitMello handles, and why
Everything below is something you choose to record, and it’s used to show it back to you:
- Your plan: your age, sex, height, weight, activity and goal, to work out your calorie and macro targets and move them as you weigh in.
- Food and water: what you eat and drink and your own recipes, to total your day against your targets.
- Weight and body: weigh-ins, body measurements and progress photos, to chart your progress.
- Training: workouts, sets, routines and movement, and any pain you report during a workout, to plan your sessions and count workout calories.
- Sleep: your sleep schedule, nights and dreams, to keep your sleep diary.
- GLP-1 doses: the medication, dose, date and injection site you record, and any symptoms you note after a dose, to keep your dose log and the report you can share with your prescriber. FitMello never suggests or changes a dose, and doesn’t interpret symptoms.
FitMello doesn’t use your health data for advertising, and doesn’t work out anything about your health beyond what the app shows you.
Where it comes from
- From you, when you record it in the app or on Apple Watch.
- From Apple Health, only if you allow it, and only the types you choose.
Where it’s kept, and who receives it
- Your iPhone. Everything you record is stored in the app on your phone.
- Google Firebase, only if you say yes to backup. A copy of your diary, apart from progress photos, is kept in your FitMello account so it can be brought back to you. Firebase stores it for us and doesn’t use it for anything else. Backup asks for your yes separately, and turning it off deletes the copy.
- Food databases, when you search. The words you search or say, or the barcode you scan, go to fatsecret, USDA FoodData Central and Open Food Facts to find the food. They don’t receive your name, your email or your diary.
- Apple Health, only if you turn on Save to Apple Health. Your daily food totals, water, weigh-ins and finished workouts.
- Anyone you choose, when you export or share something yourself.
The services that show ads and measure FitMello’s own ads (Google AdMob, Google Analytics for Firebase and AppsFlyer) and RevenueCat, which keeps track of Pro, never receive what you record. AppsFlyer and Google Analytics are told when you join and keep using FitMello only if you say yes when the app asks whether it may measure its ads. What each of them receives is described in the privacy policy.
We don’t sell consumer health data.
Your rights
- See your data: everything is in the app, and Profile, then Data and privacy, then Export a backup gives you a copy.
- Know who received it: the list above, or ask us for the details for your account.
- Withdraw consent: turn off backup in Profile, then Backup; turn off measuring FitMello’s ads in Profile, then Data and privacy; turn off Apple Health in the Settings app; and turn off tracking in the Settings app, under Privacy & Security, then Tracking.
- Delete it: Profile, then Account, then Delete account deletes your account, every backup and the diary on your phone.
To ask for any of these, or about anything here, email contact@fitmello.com. We’ll answer within 45 days. If we refuse a request, you can ask us to look again by replying to our answer. If you’re still unhappy, you can contact your state’s attorney general: in Washington, at atg.wa.gov/file-complaint.
Changes
If this policy changes, we’ll update this page and the date at the top.
