Privacy Policy

1. Overview

Royal ("we", "our", "the app") is a fitness tracking and wellness community application. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information. By using Royal, you agree to this policy.

2. Information We Collect

• Account information: name, email address, and password (stored as a one-way hash) when you create an account.
• Fitness & health data: workouts (exercises, sets, reps, weight), nutrition logs (meals, macros, calories), wellness activities (meditation, yoga, sleep), and step counts that you voluntarily enter.
• Profile information: profile photo, bio, and social connections (followers/following) that you choose to add.
• Content: posts, comments, and media you share within the app.
• Usage data: app interactions and feature usage to improve the product.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To provide and operate the Royal app and its features.
• To display your fitness progress, history, and insights to you.
• To enable social features such as posts, comments, and following other users.
• To send notifications about activity on your posts (likes, comments, follows).
• To improve the app based on aggregated, anonymised usage patterns.
• To respond to support requests.

4. Information Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We do not share your health or fitness data with advertisers. We may share information only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers: trusted infrastructure partners (hosting, database, file storage) who process data solely to operate the app under strict confidentiality agreements.
• Legal requirements: if required by law or to protect the safety of our users.

5. Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored on secure, encrypted servers. Passwords are never stored in plain text — they are hashed using bcrypt. We use industry-standard HTTPS for all data transmission. While we take security seriously, no system is completely immune to risk; please use a strong, unique password.

6. Your Rights & Choices

• Access & correction: you can view and edit your profile and data at any time within the app.
• Data deletion: to delete your account and all associated data, contact us at support@royalwellness.app. We will process deletion requests within 30 days.
• Data portability: you may request an export of your data by contacting us.
• Opt-out of notifications: notification preferences can be managed in the app settings.

7. Children's Privacy

Royal is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy occasionally. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
