FORGEFIT PRIVACY POLICY
Last Updated: February 3, 2026
ForgeFit ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application ("App").
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Information You Provide
- Account Information: Name, email address, and phone number
- Health and Fitness Data: Body measurements, weight, photos, workout logs, and nutritional information
- Onboarding Responses: Information you provide during the onboarding process, including goals, preferences, and health information
- Payment Information: Processed securely through Apple's App Store and RevenueCat (we do not store payment card details)
1.2 Required vs Optional Data Collection
Required for Core Features:
- Workout logs (exercises, sets, reps, weight lifted)
- Nutrition tracking (meals, macros, food logs)
- Account information (email address, name)
- Basic device information for app functionality
Optional - You Choose:
- Health Connect/HealthKit data (HRV, heart rate, steps, calories, sleep)
- Photos for body composition analysis
- Location data for outdoor workout tracking
You can use ForgeFit's core workout tracking and nutrition features without granting access to optional health data. Health Connect/HealthKit integration enhances your experience with recovery insights but is not required.
1.3 Information Collected Automatically
- Health Data: We integrate with Apple HealthKit (iOS) and Google Health Connect (Android) to access health and fitness data including:
- Steps, active calories, and distance
- Heart rate and heart rate variability (HRV)
- Resting heart rate
- Workout data from connected devices and services (for example, Apple Watch on iOS or Health Connect sources on Android)
- Sleep data (if you enable it via HealthKit/Health Connect permissions)
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) - Recovery Monitoring:
We collect Heart Rate Variability (HRV) data specifically for recovery assessment and training optimization. HRV is a key indicator of your nervous system recovery and overall readiness to train. Here's how we use HRV data:
- Recovery Assessment: We analyze HRV trends to determine if you are adequately recovered from previous workouts
- Workout Readiness: Based on your HRV levels, we display a recovery status (Good, Fair, or Low) on your dashboard to help you decide whether to push hard or take it easy
- Training Optimization: Low HRV indicates insufficient recovery. Our AI coach uses this data to recommend rest days or lighter training to prevent overtraining
- Injury Prevention: By monitoring HRV trends, we can alert you when your body needs more recovery time, helping prevent overtraining-related injuries
User Control: Health data collection is entirely optional. You can connect or disconnect HealthKit/Health Connect access at any time through your device settings. If you disconnect, you will still be able to use all core workout tracking and nutrition features.
- Device Information: Device ID, operating system, and app version
- Usage Data: How you interact with the App, features used, and app performance data
- Diagnostics: Crash reports and performance data to improve app stability
