Privacy Policy

Last updated 9 September 2026

Most privacy policies are written so you won't read them. This one isn't. Here's exactly what FitMatch knows about you and what happens to it.

If something here doesn't sit right with you, email me at support@fitmatchwaitlist.app. A real person reads it, because there's only one of us.

Who's behind this

My name is Tobe. I built FitMatch on my own, and I run it on my own from Maryland. There's no company yet, no team, no investors. Just me. When this policy says "I", that's who it means.

FitMatch is early. Right now it's in beta with a small group of testers.

What I collect

Things you tell me

What	Why I need it
Your email	So you can log in, and so I can reach you if something breaks
Your password	To let you in. I never see it, because it's scrambled before it's ever stored
Your name	So the person you match with knows who they're meeting
Your photos	So they can find you on the gym floor
Your gym	To match you with people who actually train where you train
Goals, experience, workout days	To find people whose training fits yours, instead of showing you everyone
Videos and comments you post	To show them in the app, if you decide to post
Messages you send	To get them to the person you matched with

Things collected automatically

• A push notification token. A code from Apple or Google that lets your phone receive notifications. On its own it doesn't say anything about who you are.
• Basic technical stuff. When your account was active, and error logs when the app falls over.

Things I deliberately don't collect

• Your location. Not in the background, not continuously, not at all. I store which gym you picked. That's it.
• Your contacts, calendar, or camera roll. Only the specific photos you choose to upload.
• Anything for advertising. No trackers, no pixels, no ad SDKs. There are none in the app.

What I do with it

Only what's needed to make the app work:

• Keep your account running
• Show you people worth training with
• Deliver messages between people who've matched
• Send the notifications you asked for, like a training request or a new match
• Look into reports when someone flags a problem
• Fix bugs

Who else can see it

A handful of services keep FitMatch running. They handle data on my instructions and can't use it for their own ends.

Service	What it handles
Supabase	The database, logins, and file storage. Your profile, messages, photos and videos live here.
Expo	Getting push notifications to your phone.
Apple & Google	Distributing the app, and passing notifications to your phone's operating system.
Google Maps	Gym search. When you type a gym name, that text goes to Google to get results back.

I'd also hand over information if the law properly required it, or if I genuinely believed it was the only way to stop someone being seriously hurt. I'd rather tell you that plainly than bury it.

What other members see

Your name, photos, gym, goals, experience level and training days. That's what's on your profile, and that's what's visible.

Your email is never shown to anyone. Your messages are visible only to you and the person you matched with. That's enforced at the database level, not just hidden in the app.

How long I keep it

• While you're using FitMatch: as long as your account exists, so the app works.
• When you delete your account: your profile, photos, videos, matches and messages go. Immediately, and for good.
• The one exception: if someone reported you for something serious, I may keep a record of that report, because deleting and re-registering shouldn't be a way to wipe the slate clean at someone else's expense. And I'll keep anything the law requires me to.

Deleting your account

In the app: Settings → Delete Account. It removes your profile, your photos and videos, your matches and your messages. There's no undo and no grace period. When it's gone, it's gone.

If you can't get into the app, email me from the address on your account and I'll do it for you.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you can ask me to:

• Tell you what I hold about you
• Send you a copy of it
• Fix anything that's wrong
• Delete it
• Give it to you in a format you can take elsewhere
• Stop selling it or using it for targeted ads. I don't do either, so there's nothing to stop, but the right is yours regardless

Email support@fitmatchwaitlist.app and I'll get back to you within 45 days. I may need to check you're really you first, otherwise anyone could ask for your data.

If I say no

I'll tell you why, not just refuse. If you think I've got it wrong, reply with the word "appeal" and I'll look at it again and write back within 60 days. If you're still unhappy, you can take it to the Maryland Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division.

Keeping it safe

Everything travels encrypted. Passwords are hashed and salted by the auth provider, so I couldn't read yours if I wanted to. Only I have access to the production database. Private messages are locked down at the database level so nobody but the two people in a conversation can read them.

No system is perfectly secure, and pretending otherwise would be a lie. If there's ever a breach involving your data, I'll tell you and the authorities as fast as the law requires.

You have to be 18

FitMatch is for adults. It's not built for children and I don't knowingly collect anything from anyone under 18. If I find out I have, the account and its data go. If you think a minor is using FitMatch, tell me at support@fitmatchwaitlist.app and I'll deal with it.

If this changes

The date at the top moves. If a change actually affects your rights or what I do with your data, you'll get a heads-up in the app or by email before it takes effect, not a quiet edit.
