Privacy Policy
1. Introduction
VinXFitness ("we", "our", or "us") is a personal fitness coaching platform operated in Canada (vinxfitnesspro@gmail.com). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you use the VinXFitness mobile application and related services (the "App").

2.2 Information collected automatically

2.3 Information we do not collect

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes.
4. Health and fitness data
The App collects health and fitness-related data including body weight, body fat percentage, measurements, calorie intake, and workout activity. This data is classified as sensitive personal information.
This data is:

- Never shared with insurers, employers, or third-party data brokers
- Never used for advertising targeting
5. Data storage and security
We implement industry-standard security measures including encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/TLS), role-based access controls, and secure per-account authentication. While we take reasonable precautions, no internet transmission is 100% secure.
Data may be stored on servers in Canada or the United States. Where data is processed in the US, it is subject to US law.
6. Data retention
- Active data (meal logs, workout logs, messages) is deleted within 90 days of account deletion
- When your coaching ends, your coach may archive your account. An archived account keeps your data so you can return, and is deleted once it has been archived for 12 months
