Privacy Policy
The short version
- Your camera video never leaves your phone. Pose tracking runs on the device; we do not record, upload, store or look at your video or photos.
- We store your account (from Google sign-in), the profile you give us, your plan and your workout results so they sync and back up.
- We do not sell your data, show ads, or share it with advertisers or data brokers.
- If you ask for an AI coach review, the workout numbers and your first name are sent to our AI provider to write it. Never images.
- Health Connect is optional and per data type. We use it only for fitness features in the app, never for ads.
- You can delete your account and all its data at any time, in the app or at posefit.strophic.in/delete-account.

1. Who we are
Pose Fit (the Android app, this website at posefit.strophic.in and the related services) is operated by Strophic ("we", "us"). We are the data controller for the personal information described here. Questions about privacy: support@strophic.in.
2. What we collect
Information you give us
| Data | Examples | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Account | Email address, name and profile picture URL from Google sign-in; a Google account identifier | To create and secure your account and sign you in on any device |
| Profile | Display name, chosen coach, Sergeant mode, sex, birth year, height, weight, goal weight, fitness goal, injuries or knee pain you mark, body areas to focus on, daily minutes, preferred time, reminder time, units, theme | To build a safe, personal plan, estimate calories and set reminders |
| Movement check | Rep count and form score from your 5-rep check | To pick your starting level |
Information created when you use the app
| Data | Examples | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Plan | Your current course, weeks, days and exercises | To show and sync your plan |
| Workout results | Date and time, duration, exercises done, sets, reps counted and not counted, hold times, form scores, form cues given, estimated calories | Progress, streaks, history, plan progression and AI reviews |
| AI coach | Reviews written for you, your credit balance and its history | To provide and bill AI reviews fairly |
| Technical | IP address, device and app version, request times and errors in server logs | Security, abuse prevention and fixing bugs |
We do not collect your precise location, contacts, microphone audio, advertising ID, or any camera images or video.
Information that stays only on your phone
Some data is stored only on your device: the camera stream and the body landmarks computed from it, your phone-model performance setting, and an offline queue of workouts waiting to sync. Workouts you do while signed out ("try it without an account") stay on the phone unless you later sign in.
3. Camera and on-device processing
Pose Fit uses your camera only while a workout or movement check is on screen. Each frame is analysed in the phone's memory by an on-device pose model (Google MediaPipe) that finds 33 body points. Those points are used, also on the phone, to count reps, score form and choose a spoken cue. The frames are then discarded. We never save frames to storage, never transmit them, and our servers never receive them. Only the resulting numbers (for example "12 squats, average form 86") are saved to your workout history.
The phone's motion sensors (accelerometer and gyroscope) are read on the device only, to tell you when your phone is placed steadily. Sensor readings are not stored or sent.
4. Health Connect
If you choose to connect Health Connect by Android, you pick which data types to allow. Pose Fit may:
- Read your most recent weight and height, to pre-fill your profile for you to confirm.
- Write exercise sessions and active calories burned, so your Pose Fit workouts appear in Health Connect and other apps you allow.
Weight and height you confirm become part of your Pose Fit profile and are synced like any other profile field. We do not read other Health Connect data. You can change or revoke these permissions at any time in Health Connect or Android settings.
Limited use. Data obtained through Health Connect is used only to provide and improve the fitness features you see in Pose Fit. It is never used for advertising, never sold, never shared with data brokers or for credit or insurance decisions, never used to train general-purpose AI models, and is shared with service providers only as needed to run Pose Fit, under confidentiality obligations. Our use of information received from Health Connect adheres to the Health Connect Permissions policy, including its Limited Use requirements.
5. How we use information
- Provide the service: sign-in, plans, tracking results, history, reminders and syncing across devices.
- Personalise: level, exercise swaps for injuries or knee pain, session length and calorie estimates.
- AI coach reviews you request (see section 8).
- Keep Pose Fit safe and working: preventing abuse, debugging, and measuring reliability.
- Improve accuracy and plans using aggregated or de-identified workout statistics (for example how often a rep type is rejected). We do not use your camera images for this; we never have them.
- Communicate with you about your account, security or changes to these terms. We send no marketing email unless you opt in.
- Meet legal obligations and enforce our Terms.
We do not use your information for advertising and we do not make decisions with legal or similarly significant effects about you by automated means.
6. Legal bases
Where laws such as the EU/UK GDPR apply, we rely on: contract (to provide the app you signed up for); consent (Health Connect, health-related profile details such as injuries, notifications and optional AI reviews; you can withdraw consent at any time without affecting earlier processing); legitimate interests (security, fixing bugs, improving accuracy with de-identified statistics); and legal obligation where required. Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, we process personal data on the basis of your consent and for the legitimate uses the Act permits.
7. Who we share it with
We do not sell or rent personal information. We share it only with service providers that process it on our behalf, under contract, to run Pose Fit:
| Provider | Purpose | Data involved |
|---|---|---|
| Sign in with Google; Health Connect is on your device | Sign-in token, email, name, picture | |
| Oracle Cloud Infrastructure | Hosting our servers and database | All data stored on our servers |
| Vercel | Hosting this website and the admin portal | IP address and request data for website visits |
| Cloudflare | Network security, DNS and delivery for our website and API | IP address and request data in transit |
| OpenAI | Writing AI coach reviews you request | First name, coach style and that session's workout numbers |
We may also disclose information if required by law or a valid legal request, to protect the rights, safety and security of users or the public, or as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, in which case this policy will continue to apply to your information or you will be notified.
8. AI coach
When you ask for an AI review of a workout (it uses a credit), we send our AI provider, OpenAI, only: your
display name, your coach's name and style, the workout title, active minutes, reps counted and not counted,
average form score, estimated calories and the per-exercise results and form cues. No images, video, email address,
health records or contact details are sent. We ask OpenAI not to store the request (store=false), and
under its API terms OpenAI does not use API data to train its models; it may keep requests for up to 30 days to
detect abuse, then deletes them. If the AI service is unavailable, the review is written by simple rules
on our server instead.
9. How long we keep it
- Account, profile, plan, workouts and AI reviews: for as long as your account exists. When you delete your account they are deleted from our live database immediately.
- Server logs: up to 30 days, then deleted, unless needed to investigate a security incident.
- Backups: if a backup contains your data, it is overwritten within 30 days.
- Data on your phone: until you sign out, clear the app's data or uninstall it.
10. Security
All traffic between the app or website and our servers is encrypted with TLS. Access is protected with signed, expiring session tokens; administration requires Google sign-in with an approved account. The database is not reachable from the public internet and access is limited to the people who run Pose Fit. No method of storage or transmission is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information and will notify you and regulators of a breach where the law requires.
11. Your choices and rights
- Access and correct: view and edit your profile in the app (Profile tab) at any time.
- Delete: see section 12.
- Export: ask us for a copy of your data in a portable format.
- Withdraw consent: revoke Health Connect, camera or notification permissions in Android settings; stop using AI reviews at any time.
- Object or restrict: ask us to stop a use based on legitimate interests.
- Complain: you may contact your local data protection authority or, in India, the Data Protection Board of India. We'd appreciate the chance to help first.
Depending on where you live (for example the EU, UK, India or California), you may have additional rights, and you can nominate someone to exercise them for you where the law allows. We do not sell or "share" personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising, as those terms are defined under California law. To make a request, email support@strophic.in from the address on your account. We respond within 30 days, and we won't treat you differently for exercising your rights.
12. Deleting your account
In the app: Profile → Delete account. On the web: sign in with Google at posefit.strophic.in/delete-account. Either way, your account, profile, plans, workout history, AI reviews and credits are permanently deleted from our live database straight away (backups roll off within 30 days, see section 9). Workouts already written to Health Connect stay there until you remove them in Health Connect.
13. Children
Pose Fit is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you are under 18 (or the age of majority where you live), you may only use Pose Fit with the consent of a parent or guardian. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
14. International transfers
Our service providers may process information in countries other than yours, including the United States. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.
15. Changes to this policy
We'll update this page when our practices change and change the date at the top. If a change is significant, we will tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect.
