Privacy Policy

CoupleFit (“CoupleFit”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is operated by Aryan Kumar, an individual (sole trader), of Gola Road, Ramgarh Cantt, Jharkhand 829122, India, who runs the CoupleFit iPhone app and the couplefit.app website and is the data controller for the personal information described in this policy. CoupleFit is a fitness accountability app for two people: you pair with a partner, each set a weekly workout goal, share a photo of every workout you log, and agree a small weekly stake for fun.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, how we protect it, and the choices you have. By using CoupleFit you agree to this policy and to our Terms & Conditions.

• Account details. When you sign in with Apple or Google, we receive your name and email address. If you choose Apple’s “Hide My Email”, we receive a private relay address instead. We create an account ID for you, and store the name you choose to use in the app and your optional profile photo.
• Fitness activity. Your weekly goal (one to seven workouts) and any goal you set for next week, the days you log a workout, your shared streak with your partner, and the result of each finished week.
• Workout photos. Every workout you log is a photo you take in the app. It is shown to your partner for 24 hours, and we keep it on our servers after that. See Workout photos.
• Views and reactions. Whether your partner has seen each of your photos, and the emoji reactions you send each other.
• Stakes and the balance. The weekly stake you and your partner agree, any stake set for next week, the running balance of who owes whom, and a record of each time a payment is marked as done. These are only numbers — see Stakes and the balance.
• Partner connection. Who you are paired with and when you paired, and your invite code, which your partner uses to connect to you.
• Camera and photos. The app uses your camera to take workout photos. It uses your photo library only when you choose a profile photo or save one of your own workout photos to your phone.
• Purchase information. Whether you or your partner has an active subscription, and its purchase and renewal history, from Apple through RevenueCat. We never receive your card details.
• Notifications. A push notification token for your device, so we can tell you about your partner’s activity, your weekly results and your goal, and a short record that each notification was sent.
• Usage and device data. Through PostHog: the screens you visit and actions you take in the app (such as logging a workout, sending an invite or subscribing), when the app is opened, closed, installed or updated, your device model, operating system, app version, language and time zone, and your account ID together with whether you have a partner and a subscription. PostHog also records session replays of how you move through the app, in which all text and all images, including your photos, are masked on your device before anything is sent. PostHog does not store your IP address and does not work out your location.

What we do not collect

We do not collect your location, your contacts, audio from your microphone, health data from Apple Health or any other health service, or an advertising identifier. We do not extract or store biometric identifiers from your photos.

Information kept only on your phone

Your answers during setup stay on your phone until you create an account. The signature you draw to commit to your goal is never saved or uploaded. The app also keeps cached copies of photos and a note of which photos you have already opened.

We use your information to:

• run your shared week with your partner: goals, logged workouts, streaks, weekly results and the stakes scoreboard;
• show your workout photos and reactions to your partner;
• keep your workout photos for a workout history we plan to offer;
• send you push notifications;
• process and verify subscriptions;
• understand how the app is used, find what is confusing, and fix bugs;
• reply to you when you contact us; and
• keep the app safe and meet our legal obligations.

We do not use your information for advertising, and we do not sell it.

We use the following service providers to run CoupleFit. Each receives only what it needs for its job.

• Google Firebase (Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Cloud Storage, Cloud Functions, Cloud Messaging) — our backend: sign-in, database, photo storage and push notifications. Data: account details, fitness activity, workout and profile photos, views and reactions, stakes and the balance, partner connection and push tokens.
• Apple (Sign in with Apple, App Store, Apple Push Notification service) — sign-in, subscription billing and delivering notifications. Data: name and email, purchases, push tokens.
• Google Sign-In — sign-in, if you choose it. Data: name and email.
• RevenueCat — subscription management. Data: account ID, purchase history, subscription status, and basic device and app details such as app version, country and currency.
• PostHog — product analytics and session replay. Data: usage events, device details, account ID and masked session replays, as described above.
• Vercel — hosting for the couplefit.app website. Data: IP address and browser details in server logs.

These providers handle your information under their own privacy policies and terms. Apart from them, and your partner as described below, we share your information only when the law requires it.

CoupleFit shows no ads and contains no advertising or attribution SDKs. We do not collect your device’s advertising identifier, we do not track you across other companies’ apps and websites, and we do not sell your personal information or share it for cross-context behavioural advertising.

CoupleFit is built to be shared with one partner. Once you are paired, your partner can see your name and profile photo, your weekly goal and next week’s goal, the days you logged a workout, your workout photos for 24 hours after you post them, whether you have seen their photos and your reactions to them, your shared streak, the weekly stake, the balance and who owes whom, the results of each week, and when a payment is marked as done. You see the same about them.

If you no longer want to share, remove your partner in the app. Removing a partner clears your shared week, streak, balance and the history of past weeks for both of you.

Your partner sees each workout photo for 24 hours after you post it. After that the photo is no longer shown in the app, but we keep it on our servers so that we can offer you a history of your workouts in a future version of CoupleFit.

We use your photos only to show them to you and your partner. We do not use them to identify you, we do not run facial recognition on them, we do not extract biometric identifiers from them, we do not use them for advertising or to train AI models, and we do not sell or share them.

You can delete one of your own photos while it is showing, and it is then deleted from our servers too. You can save your own photos to your phone; your partner cannot save yours in the app. All of your workout photos are deleted when you delete your account.

The weekly stake is a fun agreement between you and your partner, and the balance is only a scoreboard. CoupleFit never receives, holds or sends money between partners, and it collects no bank or payment details for stakes. Any payment happens between the two of you, outside the app.

Your data is stored with Google Firebase in the United States. It is encrypted in transit and at rest, and access to it is controlled by sign-in and by security rules that keep a pair’s data with that pair. Only the person who owes can mark a payment as done, and only our servers can change a subscription status.

We use industry-standard measures to protect your information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a breach affects your personal data, we will notify you where the law requires it.

• Your account data and workout photos are kept until you delete your account.
• Your shared week, balance and weekly history are kept while you and your partner are paired, and cleared when either of you removes the other or deletes their account.
• Session replays are deleted automatically within 30 days. Usage events are kept by PostHog while we use it, linked only to your account ID.
• Purchase records are kept by Apple and RevenueCat as long as needed for billing, tax and accounting.

Deleting your account

You can delete your account at any time in the app, under Settings. This permanently deletes your account, your profile photo, all of your workout photos, your invite code and your place in your pair. It cannot be undone. Usage data in PostHog is not deleted automatically; email couplefitapp@gmail.com and we will delete it. We may keep records the law requires us to keep, and anonymous statistics that cannot identify you.

Deleting your account does not cancel a subscription. Cancel it in your App Store subscription settings.

Depending on where you live — including under the GDPR in the EEA and UK, the CCPA/CPRA in California, and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 in India — you may have the right to:

• access the personal information we hold about you;
• correct or update it;
• delete it;
• receive a copy of it in a portable format;
• object to or restrict how we use it, including for analytics and session replay;
• withdraw consent you have given, for example by turning off notifications in your iPhone settings;
• nominate someone to use your rights on your behalf;
• complain to your local data protection authority; and
• not be discriminated against for using any of these rights.

You can delete your account and change your name and profile photo in the app. For anything else, email alemantrixaryan@gmail.com from the address on your account. We will respond within one month, or sooner where the law requires.

CoupleFit is a motivation and accountability tool. It does not give medical advice, and nothing in the app is a medical assessment. Consult a doctor or qualified health professional before starting or changing an exercise programme. See the health disclaimer in our Terms & Conditions.

CoupleFit is not intended for anyone under 13, or under the minimum age required in their country. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children below that age. If you believe a child has given us personal information, email couplefitapp@gmail.com and we will delete it.

CoupleFit is operated from India, and our service providers store and process data in the United States. If you use CoupleFit from another country, your information will be transferred to, stored in and processed in those countries, where data protection laws may differ from yours.

We are established outside the EEA and the UK, so Article 27 of the EU and UK GDPR requires us to appoint a representative there whom you can contact about this policy and your rights instead of contacting us directly. Our representative is:

[TO BE COMPLETED]

Until that appointment is published here, write to Aryan Kumar at alemantrixaryan@gmail.com or at the postal address in Contact us. You can also complain to your local supervisory authority — see Your rights.

We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the new version on this page and update the Last updated date. If we make material changes, we will tell you in the app or by email.

CoupleFit is operated by Aryan Kumar, an individual (sole trader). Aryan Kumar is the data controller, and is also the Grievance Officer under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
