Privacy Policy — RoutineAI

1. Overview

RoutineAI is built on a foundation of trust. We collect only what we need to personalize your experience and make the app work — nothing more. We do not sell your personal data, and we are committed to being transparent about exactly what we collect, why we collect it, and how you can control it.

This Privacy Policy applies to the RoutineAI iOS app and the routineaihealth.com website.

2. Data We Collect

We collect the following categories of data to provide and personalize the RoutineAI experience:

Profile Data

Name, age, gender, fitness goals, current weight, height, and fitness level — collected during onboarding to personalize your routine.

Health Data (via Apple HealthKit)

Body weight, body fat percentage, lean body mass, workout data, steps, and active calories — synced automatically when you grant permission.

Usage Data

Tasks completed, meals logged, workout sets and reps, streaks, and app activity — used to track your progress and power your dashboard.

AI Conversation Data

Messages you send to the AI Coach — sent to Anthropic's Claude API to generate responses. See the Data Sharing section for details.

Analytics & Device Data

Anonymous product analytics — which screens you open, which features you use, app version and device type. Processed by PostHog (see Data Sharing). No health data, meal data, or AI conversations are sent to analytics. You can turn this off in Settings.

3. Apple HealthKit Data

HealthKit Privacy Commitment

RoutineAI accesses Apple HealthKit data including body weight, body fat percentage, lean body mass, active energy burned, and workout data. This data is used solely to personalize your routine and track your progress. HealthKit data is never sold, shared with third parties, or used for advertising purposes. You can revoke HealthKit access at any time through iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Health > RoutineAI.

HealthKit data is stored on-device using Apple SwiftData and is not uploaded to our servers except where necessary to power AI Coach responses — in which case it is treated identically to other AI conversation data (see Data Sharing).

4. How We Use Your Data

Your data is used exclusively to operate and improve RoutineAI. Specifically:

Personalize your daily routine, workouts, meals, and supplement recommendations
Calculate calorie and nutrition targets using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation based on your profile
Power the AI Coach with your context, history, and preferences for relevant responses
Track your progress, streaks, and body composition trends over time
Generate your personalized grocery list from your weekly meal plan
Surface evidence-based supplement and product recommendations in the Shop section

We do not use your data for advertising, behavioral profiling, or any purpose beyond operating the app.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. The following third parties may receive limited data strictly necessary to operate RoutineAI:

Anthropic (Claude API)

AI coach conversation data is sent to Anthropic's Claude API to generate responses. Anthropic does not use this data to train their models. See Anthropic's privacy policy at anthropic.com.

Netlify

Hosts our website and the secure functions that relay AI requests. Requests are processed and passed on — no personal data is retained on our servers.

PostHog (Analytics)

Anonymous product analytics — which screens are opened and which features are used, so we know what to improve. Hosted in the United States. No health data, meal data, or AI conversations are sent. Turn it off in Settings > Share Anonymous Analytics.

Amazon (Affiliate Links)

Product links in the Shop section are Amazon affiliate links. No personal data is shared with Amazon — clicking a link is a standard web interaction subject to Amazon's privacy policy.

Apple

Subscription management is handled through the Apple App Store. We do not store payment information — Apple processes all transactions. Your iCloud account is used to back up your onboarding answers so you can restore your profile after reinstalling.

6. Data Storage and Security

We do not operate a database of user accounts or personal data. RoutineAI has no login and no user accounts. Your data is stored in two places, neither of which is a server we control:

On your device: Your profile, health data, workout logs, meal history, AI coach conversations, and daily routine are stored locally using Apple SwiftData. This is the primary copy.
In your own iCloud account: Your onboarding answers are backed up to Apple's private key-value storage under your Apple ID, so you can restore your profile if you reinstall the app. This lives in your iCloud, not on our servers, and we cannot read it.

When you use an AI feature, the relevant details from your profile are sent to our processing functions and on to Anthropic's Claude API to generate a response, then discarded. They are not written to any database of ours.

All data transmission uses HTTPS encryption. We do not store passwords because there is nothing to log in to.

7. Your Rights

You have full control over your data:

Delete everything: Go to Settings > Reset Everything within the app. There is no account to close — this erases your on-device data, your progress photos, and the onboarding backup held in your iCloud account.
Revoke HealthKit access: Go to iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Health > RoutineAI and toggle off any data types.
Data export: Data export is not currently available but is on our roadmap.
Questions or requests: Contact us at support@routineaihealth.com for any data-related requests.

8. Children's Privacy

Age Restriction

RoutineAI is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at support@routineaihealth.com and we will delete it promptly.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the app after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
