Pocket Spotter
Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy
This policy explains how Pocket Spotter handles consumer health data — information that identifies or relates to your physical health. My main privacy policy covers everything else.
1. The consumer health data collected, why, and how it is used
| Data | Why, and how it is used |
|---|---|
| Injuries you log — body part, severity, description, movements to avoid | So the AI coach can adapt your training around them. Sent only if you allow health data sharing. |
| Body measurements you log — body weight, body-fat and lean-mass readings, and the date and method of a scan | So recommendations reflect your body composition. Sent only if you allow health data sharing. |
| Apple Health readings — last night's sleep, resting heart rate, HRV, active calories, steps, body weight, and workouts other apps or your watch recorded | So recommendations account for your recovery and activity. Read only with Apple Health permission, and sent only if you allow health data sharing. |
| Daily check-in answers — energy, soreness and stress ratings, and any notes | So the daily recommendation fits how you feel that day. Sent when you complete a check-in, because that feature needs them. |
| Anything you type to the coach | To answer your question. Your messages may contain health information if you choose to include it. |
This data is stored on your phone. It leaves your phone only when you use an AI feature, and only to generate that answer: it passes through my server (which stores none of it) to Google's Gemini API (which, under its paid terms, does not use it to train its models). It is never used for advertising, never sold, and never used for any purpose other than giving you training recommendations.
2. Where it comes from
- You, when you enter it in the app.
- Apple Health, only with your permission.
- The app itself, which derives readings from the above on your phone — for example a readiness estimate from your sleep and steps, or training-load trends from your workouts.
3. The consumer health data shared
None. I do not share consumer health data with any third party, and I do not sell it.
To answer your requests, it is disclosed only to the two processors below, which handle it on my behalf and for no other purpose. Under the law, disclosure to a processor is not sharing.
4. Third parties and affiliates it is shared with
No third parties, and no affiliates — I have none.
The processors that handle it on my behalf are Cloudflare, Inc. (runs my server, which passes each request through and stores no content) and Google LLC (the Gemini API, which generates the answer).
5. How to exercise your rights
You have the right to:
- Confirm whether I collect, share or sell your consumer health data, and access it, including the list of third parties and affiliates it has been shared with (there are none).
- Withdraw your consent at any time: turn off Share health data with the coach in Profile → AI Coach. Nothing further is sent.
- Delete it: your health data is on your phone, so deleting the app deletes it. My server does not keep any of it.
To make a request, email support@tyhdev.net. I'll respond within 45 days, free of charge, and tell you if I need up to 45 more.
Appeals. If I decline to act on your request, you can appeal by replying to my decision with "Appeal" in the subject line. I'll respond within 45 days with a written explanation. If you're still not satisfied, you can contact your state attorney general — in Washington, at atg.wa.gov/file-complaint.
Changes
If I change how Pocket Spotter handles consumer health data, I'll update this policy and its effective date, and the app will ask for your permission again before sending any health data under the new terms.
