FitSmart is a fitness and nutrition application designed to help users build healthier habits, track their nutrition and monitor their progress.
This Privacy Policy explains how FitSmart collects, uses, stores and handles personal information.
1. Information we collect
Depending on the features you use, FitSmart may collect:
- Account information: Your name, email address and authentication details.
- Personal information: Age, height, weight, fitness goals and other information you choose to provide.

You can choose whether to provide optional information. However, some information is required for account creation and personalised features to function.
2. Google sign-in
If you choose to sign in using Google, FitSmart uses Clerk authentication services to process your sign-in. Google may provide basic account information, such as your name, email address and profile picture, depending on the permissions granted. We use this information to authenticate you and manage your account. Google sign-in does not require access to your Gmail messages, Google Drive files or contacts.

We use personal information to:
- Create and manage your FitSmart account.
- Calculate personalised nutrition and fitness targets.
- Record meals, habits and progress.
- Provide app features and requested recommendations.
- Respond to support requests and feedback.
- Maintain security, investigate problems and improve FitSmart.
- Meet applicable legal obligations.
Where AI-powered features are available, information you submit to those features may be processed by external AI service providers to produce a response.
4. Storage and service providers
FitSmart uses third-party technology providers for functions such as authentication, database hosting, application hosting and selected app features. These providers may process information on our behalf to deliver their services.
Information may be stored or processed outside New Zealand, including through overseas cloud infrastructure. We are responsible for taking appropriate steps to protect personal information in accordance with applicable New Zealand privacy law.
We do not intend to sell personal health, nutrition or fitness records to advertisers.
5. Security
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from unauthorised access, misuse, loss and disclosure. These measures include authentication, access restrictions and appropriate technical safeguards. No internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.
6. How long we keep information
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service and meet applicable legal obligations. Users may request deletion of their accounts and associated personal information. Certain information may need to be retained temporarily in backups or where required by law.
7. Your privacy rights
Under New Zealand's Privacy Act 2020, you may request access to personal information held about you and ask for incorrect information to be corrected. You may also contact us to request account deletion or ask questions about how your information is handled.
