Privacy
Privacy Policy
This policy covers FOOM, FOOM Coach, the foom.fitness website, and the backend services that power them. It is written to match the product as it works today, not as marketing copy.
1. Who we are
FOOM is operated by Algorithmic Research Group. For support, privacy requests, or abuse issues, email support@foom.fitness.
2. Data we collect
- Account information such as your email address and name.
- User identifiers needed to keep your account, coach-athlete relationship, and app data tied together.
- Messages and message attachments sent between coaches and athletes.
- Meal photos and meal records including captions, macros, and timestamps.
- Workout and fitness data such as planned sessions, logged sessions, completion status, and related notes.
- Push notification tokens issued by Apple so we can send notifications you have opted into.
- Support and report submissions you send to us in-app or by email.
- Subscription records for coach purchases, managed through Apple's in-app subscription systems.
3. How we use data
- To authenticate you and keep your account working.
- To sync plans, meals, messages, and progress between coach and athlete.
- To deliver push notifications.
- To review abuse reports, enforce blocking, and keep messaging usable.
- To process subscriptions and restore coach access where payment applies.
- To respond to support, privacy, and account-deletion requests.
4. Meal photo AI processing
When you use meal recognition, the photo is sent to a Cloudflare Worker we operate and then forwarded to Anthropic's API for nutrition estimation. The result is returned to the app so you can review it before saving. If you save the meal with a photo, the photo is stored with your account. If you do not save it, it is not kept as a meal record.
5. Service providers
- Supabase for authentication, database storage, and file storage.
- Cloudflare Workers for backend request handling such as meal analysis and push delivery helpers.
- Anthropic for meal-photo nutrition estimation.
- Apple for App Store purchases and push notification delivery.
6. Messages, moderation, and access
Messages are not end-to-end encrypted. They are stored on our backend and are available to the participants in the thread. Authorized staff may access them only when needed for support, abuse review, or security work.
7. Tracking and advertising
We do not sell personal information and we do not use app data to track you across other companies' apps or websites. FOOM is not an advertising business.
8. Your choices and rights
- Access or export: email support@foom.fitness.
- Deletion: use the in-app delete-account flow or email us.
- Correction: update what you can in-app, or contact us for anything you cannot change yourself.
- Notifications: manage them in iPhone Settings at any time.
9. Retention
We keep account data for as long as the account is active and as needed to run the service, resolve disputes, enforce our terms, and satisfy legal obligations. When you delete your account, we delete operational account data from the app systems subject to standard backup and legal-retention limits.
10. Children
FOOM is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe that has happened, contact us and we will investigate.
11. Changes
We will update this page when data practices change and we will update the effective date above. Material changes will be communicated in-product or by email when appropriate.
12. Contact
Privacy questions, deletion requests, export requests, and complaints: support@foom.fitness.
