Privacy Policy

Nova · Last updated: [EFFECTIVE DATE]

This Privacy Policy explains how [COMPANY NAME] (“we”, “us”) handles information in the Nova mobile application (the “App”), a fitness and nutrition companion. By using the App you agree to this Policy.

1. Accounts — anonymous by default

You can use Nova without creating an account or giving us your name or email. On first launch the App creates an anonymous account tied to your device, which is how your data is saved to and retrieved from our servers. If you later choose to sign in with Google (optional), we receive the basic identifier that sign-in provides so your data can move with you across devices.

2. Information we process

Almost all of the data below is information you choose to enter to make the App work for you.

Health & fitness profile

To build your personalised plan and nutrition targets we process the details you provide, which may include health-related information: your sex, age, height, weight and goal weight, training experience and preferences, available equipment, injuries or physical limitations, activity level, sleep and stress, and — because Nova is designed for women in midlife — optional context such as menopause stage, use of GLP-1 medication, and focus areas. You are not required to provide any single field.

Progress data

• Weigh-ins and body measurements (e.g. waist, body-fat) you log.
• Your food diary, water intake, workout sessions, and per-set logs.
• Meal photos and post-workout photos you choose to add (stored privately).
• Achievements earned in the App.

Reminders

If you enable reminders, we store a push notification token for your device and your reminder settings (times, time zone) so we can send the notifications you asked for. You can turn these off at any time in your device or App settings.

Subscription

If you purchase a subscription, the payment is handled by the Apple App Store / Google Play and our subscription provider (Adapty). We receive your subscription status (active, trial, expiry) so we can unlock paid features. We do not receive or store your card or payment details.

Technical data

Our hosting provider processes basic technical data needed to run a secure service (such as request logs and timestamps).

3. How we use your information

• To generate and adapt your workout plan and nutrition targets.
• To estimate the calories and macros of meals you photograph or describe.
• To track and display your progress, streaks and history.
• To send the reminders you enable.
• To provide and manage paid features.
• To keep the service secure and working.

4. Automated (AI) processing

Two features use an artificial-intelligence provider (Anthropic):

• Meal analysis — the meal photo or text description you submit is sent to the AI provider to estimate its nutrition. The estimate is shown to you to confirm or edit before anything is saved.
• Plan generation — your fitness profile is sent to the AI provider to design your programme.

This data is processed only to deliver these features. Our AI provider does not use data submitted through its business API to train its models.

5. Who we share it with

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers who process it on our behalf to run the App:

• Supabase — secure hosting of our database, authentication and file storage.
• Anthropic — the AI processing described in section 4.
• Adapty and the Apple App Store / Google Play — subscription management and payments.
• Open Food Facts — when you scan a barcode, only the barcode number is sent to look up the product; no personal data is shared.
• Google (Firebase Cloud Messaging) / Apple Push Notification service — to deliver reminders, and Google for optional sign-in.

We may also disclose information if required by law.

6. Where your data is stored

Your data is stored on cloud infrastructure operated by our hosting provider (Amazon Web Services, [DATA REGION]). By using the App you consent to this processing.

7. Retention & deleting your data

We keep your data for as long as you use the App. You can permanently erase it at any time using Delete account in the App, which removes your profile, plans, logs, photos and other records from our servers. Some minimal records may be retained where required by law (e.g. transaction records held by the app stores).

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, export or delete your personal data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. You can delete your data in-app at any time; for any other request contact us at [CONTACT EMAIL].

9. Children

Nova is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

10. Security

We use industry-standard measures — including access controls and encryption in transit — to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your data.

11. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, a notice in the App.

12. Contact
