GRIT (“we,” “our,” or “the app”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how long we retain it and your choices regarding your data.

1. Information We Collect

• Account Information: When you sign up using email/password or Google authentication, we store your associated user ID and your AI chat message count in our Firebase database.
  
  

• Local Data: Your personal fitness data (e.g., weight, age, sex, height, goals) is stored locally on your device.
  
  

• Camera Access: The app requests access to your device’s camera to scan QR codes for foods to track their nutritional information.
  
  

• API Usage: The app accesses the internet to use:
  
  

  • YouTube API for exercise demonstration videos,

  • FatSecret API for food and nutrition information,

  • Quotable API for motivational quotes,

  • Cloudflare Workers to interact with APIs stated above,

  • Firebase AI Logic to connect with Google’s Gemini models (via the Gemini Developer API) for AI chat functionality.
    
    

• Data Sent to Gemini AI via Firebase AI Logic: 

When interacting with the AI chat, the following information may be sent to Google Gemini for processing:
