Privacy Policy

Last Updated: April 11, 2026

HealthMaxxing ("we", "our", or "us") operates the HealthMaxxing mobile application (the "App"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you use our App.

By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect several types of information to provide and improve our services:

Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and authentication credentials. You may also sign in using third-party services such as Google or Apple, in which case we receive basic profile information from those providers.

Health and Wellness Data: To provide personalized tracking and insights, we collect data you voluntarily enter, including your height, weight, desired weight, activity level, dietary preferences, food logs, nutrition data, and progress photos.

Usage Data: We automatically collect information about how you interact with the App, including features used, screens visited, and session duration. This helps us improve the App experience.

Device Information: We may collect device type, operating system, unique device identifiers, and general location data (country/region) to optimize the App for your device and provide localized content.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • To provide, operate, and maintain the App and its features
  • To personalize your experience, including AI-powered nutrition analysis and goal recommendations
  • To track your health and wellness progress over time
  • To communicate with you about your account, updates, and support requests
  • To analyze usage patterns and improve the App
  • To detect, prevent, and address technical issues or security threats

3. Health & Fitness Data

HealthMaxxing can connect to Apple Health (iOS) or Health Connect (Android) to read the following data types:

  • Steps and distance walked/run
  • Active calories burned
  • Workouts (type, duration, calories)
  • Sleep analysis
  • Body weight
  • Heart rate
  • Heart rate variability (HRV)
  • Blood oxygen saturation (SpO2)
  • Flights climbed
  • Stand hours (iOS only)

With your permission, HealthMaxxing can also write the following data back to Apple Health or Health Connect:

  • Body weight entries
  • Nutrition data (calories, protein, fat, carbohydrates)
  • Workout entries (type, duration, calories burned)

If you use HealthMaxxing as a guest (without an account), data imported from Apple Health or Health Connect stays on your device only. If you are signed in, some imported health data you log in HealthMaxxing (such as sleep entries) may be backed up to our secure cloud (Google Firebase) so it survives reinstalls and syncs across your devices. You can turn this off with the "Back up imported health data" toggle under Connected Apps in Settings, in which case imported health data stays on your device only. Imported health data is never sold to third parties, used for advertising, or sent to analytics or advertising services.

You can connect or disconnect Apple Health / Health Connect at any time from your Profile settings. Disconnecting removes all imported health data from the app. Your data in Apple Health / Health Connect is never modified or deleted by HealthMaxxing unless you explicitly choose to sync data back.

You can manage which data types HealthMaxxing can access through your device Settings:

  • iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Health → HealthMaxxing
  • Android: Settings → Health Connect → App permissions → HealthMaxxing

4. AI-Powered Features & Data Processing

HealthMaxxing uses artificial intelligence (Claude by Anthropic) to power the following features:

  • Food photo analysis and calorie/macro estimation
  • AI Chef meal ideas based on your ingredients
  • Food swap suggestions
  • "What To Eat" meal recommendations
  • Daily and weekly wellness insights
  • Mind-Body AI Deep Dive analysis

To provide these features, aggregated health and wellness data you have entered in the app (such as calorie totals, macro averages, sleep hours, mood trends, and exercise summaries) may be sent to our AI processing service via a secure proxy. This data is used solely to generate personalized insights and is not stored by the AI provider, used for model training, or shared with any other party.

Food photos sent for AI analysis are processed in real-time and are not retained by the AI provider after generating the nutritional estimate.

AI-generated estimates are not medical advice. Always consult a healthcare professional for medical decisions.

5. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may share your data in the following limited circumstances:

Service Providers: We use trusted third-party services to help us operate the App, including cloud hosting (Google Firebase), analytics (Mixpanel), error monitoring (Sentry), and AI processing (Anthropic). These providers only access your data as necessary to perform their services and are obligated to protect it. Health data from Apple Health or Health Connect is never sent to analytics or advertising services.

Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, or if we believe such action is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, protect our rights or safety, or investigate potential violations.

With Your Consent: We may share your information for any other purpose with your explicit consent.

6. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored securely using Google Firebase infrastructure, which provides industry-standard encryption and security measures. We implement appropriate technical and organizational safeguards to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Rights and Choices

You have the following rights regarding your personal information:

  • Access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Correction: You can update or correct your information through the App settings.
  • Deletion: You can delete your data or your entire account directly within the App by going to Profile > Settings and selecting "Delete all my data" or "Delete my account." Deletion is processed immediately. You may also contact us at privacy@maxxing.health and we will process the request within 30 days.
  • Data Portability: You can request your data in a commonly used, machine-readable format.
  • Opt-Out: You can opt out of non-essential communications at any time.

8. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with services. If you request account deletion, we will delete your data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal or regulatory purposes.

9. Children's Privacy

The App is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected data from a child under 13 without parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.

10. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. These countries may have different data protection laws. By using the App, you consent to the transfer of your information to these countries. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

  • Google Firebase (authentication, cloud storage): firebase.google.com/support/privacy
  • Google Sign-In (optional account login): policies.google.com/privacy
