Privacy Policy
What Physora collects, why, who processes it, how long it is kept, and the rights you have over it, with the strictest handling reserved for physique photos.
Version 0.1-draft · Last updated
Draft, pending legal review. This document is not final. Items marked “to be confirmed” are still open decisions.
OverviewLink to Overview
This policy explains how Axeract Technologies ("we", "us") handles personal data in the Physora mobile app and on this website. Physora is an AI fitness coach that analyses physique photos, builds training and nutrition plans, and tracks progress.
The short version: we collect what the app needs to coach you, we keep physique photos private and encrypted, we never sell your data or use it for advertising, and you can export or delete everything at any time.
Data we collectLink to Data we collect
- Account data: email address or Apple / Google sign-in identifier, display name, language, units and settings.
- Profile and goals: age range, sex (used for programming and scan scoring), height, weight, goal, experience, equipment, schedule and any injuries you tell us about.
- Physique photos: the front, back and optional side photos you take for a scan, and the scores derived from them. See the next section.
- Training data: workouts, sets, reps, loads, personal records, rep-counter summaries and exercise preferences.
- Nutrition data: foods you log by search, barcode or photo, and the targets set for you.
- Coach conversations: messages you send to the AI coach and its replies.
- Device and usage data: app version, device model, operating system, crash reports and, with your consent, product analytics events.
- Purchase status: whether you have an active subscription. Payment details are handled by Apple or Google; we never see your card.
Physique photographsLink to Physique photographs
Physique photos are the most sensitive data we hold. They are stored privately and encrypted, never made public, never used for advertising, and you can delete them at any time.
- Photos are uploaded over an encrypted connection to private storage with encryption at rest. They are only ever accessed through short-lived links (five minutes or less).
- Photos are used to produce your scan result and your own progress comparisons. They are not shown to other users, and there is no public profile.
- You choose how long photos are kept in Settings → Privacy, and you can delete any individual scan.
- When you delete a scan or your account, the photos are permanently deleted within 24 hours.
- We do not currently use your photos to train AI models. If that ever changes, it will be strictly opt-in, off by default, and explained before you agree. Declining will never limit the app. To be confirmed: Final position depends on decision 19
- Scans are for adults (18+). Images that appear to show a minor, explicit content or another person are rejected and deleted.
Health dataLink to Health data
If you connect Apple Health (HealthKit) or Android Health Connect, Physora reads the data types you approve, such as workouts, steps, body weight and energy. We use it only to improve your plan and progress tracking.
- Health data is never used for advertising, marketing or sold to anyone.
- You can disconnect at any time in the Health app or Health Connect, and in Physora settings.
How we use your dataLink to How we use your data
- To provide the app: scans, plans, progression, nutrition targets, coaching and progress reports.
- To keep the service secure and reliable: preventing abuse, rate limiting and diagnosing crashes.
- To improve Physora, using aggregated product analytics, only with your consent.
- To communicate with you: service messages, and reminders you have switched on.
AI features produce explanations and suggestions. Scores and calorie targets are calculated by our own rules engine, not invented by a language model.
