1. Scope

This Privacy Policy explains how BodyBuddy (the "App") handles information when you use it. It applies to the Android App and not to third-party apps, websites, or services you may open from the App, including apps you select in the Android share sheet.

BodyBuddy is a general wellness calculator. It estimates Body Mass Index (BMI), Waist-to-Height Ratio (WHtR), and Body Fat Percentage (BFP) from values you enter. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. See Section 14.

2. At a glance

What	Where it stays	Do we receive it?
Age, gender, height, weight, waist, neck, and hip values you enter	On your device. Age, gender, neck, and hip stay in memory; height, weight, and waist may also be saved in your local history	No
Saved history (result, date, calculator type, and the height/weight/waist used)	A private database on your device	No
A result image you choose to share	Your device's shared storage, then the app you pick	No
Advertising data	Collected by Google Mobile Ads (AdMob)	No — Google handles it under its own policy
Emails you send us	Our email provider and inbox	Yes

In short:

You do not need an account to use BodyBuddy.
Your body measurements are used on your device to calculate your result. We do not operate a server that receives them.
If you tap Save, the App stores a history record on your device.
If you tap Share, the App creates an image of the result and opens the Android share sheet. Sharing is voluntary, and you choose the recipient.
The App shows ads through Google Mobile Ads (AdMob). Google may collect device identifiers and related data to provide and measure those ads.
We do not sell your personal information for money.

3. Information you enter

Depending on which calculator you use, the App asks you to enter:

age;
gender;
height;
weight;
waist measurement;
neck measurement; and
hip measurement.

The App uses the values relevant to the selected calculator to calculate BMI, WHtR, or BFP and to show the corresponding category and message. We do not transmit these values to us or to a server we operate. We do not have a backend for the App.

We do not ask for your name, email address, phone number, account credentials, contacts, photos, precise location, or payment information.

If you save a result

If you tap Save, the App adds a record to a local history database on your device. That record contains:

the date and time;
the type of calculator used;
the calculated result; and
the height, weight, and waist values used (some values may be zero or not applicable for a particular calculator).

The saved history does not include your age, gender, neck, or hip measurements.

If you do not tap Save, the App does not add the values to your history.

Body measurements can be sensitive. We minimize handling by keeping the calculation and the saved history on your device.

4. Information collected by advertising

The App displays banner and interstitial ads using Google Mobile Ads (AdMob). To serve ads, Google and its advertising partners may automatically collect and process:

device identifiers, including your advertising ID;
your IP address and an approximate location derived from it;
device and app information, such as device model, operating system version, language, and App version;
ad interaction data, such as impressions and clicks; and
diagnostic and performance data related to the ad service.

Google uses this information for ad delivery, ad personalization (where permitted), frequency capping, measuring ad performance, and preventing fraud and abuse. Google does not receive your body measurements, age, gender, or saved history from the App, and the App's ad requests do not include the values you enter in the calculators.

Google's privacy policy applies to the data Google collects through the ads:

Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
How Google uses information from apps that use its services: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

Your ad choices

You can limit or reset ad personalization using your device and Google settings:

On Android: Settings → Google → Ads (the exact path varies by device), where you can reset or delete your advertising ID and opt out of personalized ads.
Google Ads Settings: https://adssettings.google.com

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, personalized advertising requires your consent. You can control personalized advertising, and withdraw any consent, through your device's ad settings and Google Ads Settings. If you do not consent to personalized advertising, you may still see non-personalized ads.

The App does not request access to your precise location. Google may derive an approximate location from your IP address as part of ad delivery.

Sharing is optional and is started by you.

When you tap Share, the App:

captures the result screen as a JPEG image;
saves the image to your device's shared storage at temp/score_result.jpg; and
opens the Android share sheet so you can choose a recipient app.

The image shows the result, its category, and the accompanying message. It does not include the input form (your age, gender, height, weight, waist, neck, or hip values).

The App does not control what the app you select does with the image. That app's own privacy policy applies, and the image may be stored, copied, or shared further by that app or its recipients. We do not receive a copy of what you share.

The image remains in shared storage until it is overwritten or deleted. On versions of Android that use shared storage, other apps with storage permission may be able to read it. You can delete it with a file manager; look for the temp folder on your device's external storage.

6. Storage, backups, and retention

Local app data

The App stores saved history in a private Realm database inside the App's sandbox. It also stores a small preference indicating whether the navigation drawer has been opened. Android protects app-private files with its app sandbox and, on most devices, device encryption.

The App does not add a separate password or encryption layer to the history database. Anyone with access to your unlocked device, or with root access, may be able to read it. Use a screen lock and keep your device secure.

How long we keep it

Saved history remains on your device until you delete it. We do not have a copy and cannot delete it remotely. See Section 7.

Android backups

The App allows Android backup (android:allowBackup="true"). Depending on your device, Android version, and backup settings, App data — including saved history — may be included in a backup to your Google account or another backup service. We do not control or have access to those backups. You can manage or delete them in your device or Google backup settings.

Share images

A result image you share remains in shared storage until it is overwritten or deleted, as described in Section 5.

Support correspondence

If you email us, we keep your email and our response for as long as needed to handle your request and to meet legal obligations.

No server-side storage

We do not operate a server for the App and do not maintain a server-side database of body measurements or results.

7. How to delete your data

You can delete the data stored by the App on your device:

Delete saved history and preferences: open Android Settings → Apps → BodyBuddy → Storage & cache → Clear storage (the exact path varies by device). This removes the App's local database and preferences.
Uninstall the App: uninstalling BodyBuddy removes its app-private data.
Delete a shared image: use a file manager to delete temp/score_result.jpg from your device's external storage.
Delete Android backups: if your device backs up App data, manage or delete the backup in your Google account or device backup settings.
Advertising data: use Google's Ads Settings and your device's ad settings. We cannot delete data that Google holds.

Because we do not hold your body measurements or saved history, we cannot access, correct, or delete that data for you. You can do so on your device using the steps above. If you contact us about data we do hold (for example, support emails), we will respond as required by applicable law.

8. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the information the App handles:

Saved history is kept in the App's private storage, protected by Android's app sandbox.
Ad requests are transmitted by Google's advertising SDK using encrypted connections.
We do not operate a central server, so there is no central database of body measurements to breach.

No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure. You are responsible for protecting your device and its screen lock. If you believe your data has been compromised, contact us at the email address shown on BodyBuddy's Google Play listing.

9. Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have legal rights over your personal information. The App is designed so that the most sensitive data — your body measurements and saved history — stays on your device and is not accessible to us.

European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland

Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies:

For the purposes of the GDPR and UK GDPR, the data controller is Capyful, contactable at the email address shown on BodyBuddy's Google Play listing.
The App processes the values you enter on your device to provide the core calculation features you request.
Personalized advertising is based on your consent where required. You can control personalized advertising, and withdraw any consent, through your device's ad settings and Google Ads Settings. Otherwise, we rely on our legitimate interests in providing a functioning, secure, ad-supported App.
You have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to the processing of your personal data, and the right to data portability.
You have the right to withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that happened before you withdrew it.
You have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Because we do not hold your body measurements or saved history, requests to access, correct, or delete that data can be fulfilled by using the device controls in Section 7. For ad data, please use Google's controls or contact Google. We will assist with requests concerning data we hold, such as support emails.

Google may process advertising data outside your country. Google states that it uses appropriate safeguards for international transfers; see Google's privacy policy for details.

California (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident:

We do not sell personal information for money.
We may share device identifiers and related advertising data with Google for cross-context behavioral advertising. You can opt out of personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings and your device's ad settings, as described in Section 4.
You have the right to know what personal information we collect, to delete it, to correct it, and to opt out of its sale or sharing. You also have the right not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights.
We do not knowingly collect or share the personal information of consumers under 16.

To exercise a right, contact us at the email address shown on BodyBuddy's Google Play listing. Because the App has no account, we may have limited ability to verify your identity; we will use the information we have only to respond to your request.

Washington and Nevada health data laws

We do not collect consumer health data on our servers. The body measurements you enter are processed and stored only on your device. We do not share them with third parties except when you choose to share a result, in which case you select the recipient. If we begin collecting consumer health data, we will update this Policy and obtain any consent required by law.

Other regions

If your local law gives you privacy rights, contact us at the email address shown on BodyBuddy's Google Play listing and we will respond as required.

10. Children

The App is intended for adults. It is not directed to children under 13, or under 16 where local law requires a higher age of digital consent. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

The App can calculate a WHtR category for users under 15. That is a mathematical classification used by the calculator; it does not mean the App is directed to children.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has used the App, you can delete the local data by clearing the App's storage or uninstalling it. Contact us at the email address shown on BodyBuddy's Google Play listing if you have concerns.

Because the App is not directed to children, we do not knowingly serve personalized ads to children. If we learn that a child has provided personal information, we will take appropriate steps.

11. Third-party services

The App uses:

Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) and Google Play services, to display and measure ads. Google's privacy policy applies to the data Google collects.
The Android share sheet, when you choose to share a result. The app you select handles the shared image under its own privacy policy.
The app store you used to install BodyBuddy, which may collect install and usage data under its own policy.

Other than Google Mobile Ads, the App's code does not initialize any third-party analytics, crash-reporting, advertising, social-login, payment, or location service.

12. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. The latest version will be posted at https://policy.capyful.com/privacy-bodybuddy/, and we will update the "Last updated" date. If we make material changes, we will provide notice in the App or on the app store listing. Continued use of the App after the effective date means you accept the updated Policy.

If we add cloud sync, user accounts, first-party analytics, crash reporting, or new advertising partners, we will update this Policy and, where required, obtain consent before the change takes effect.
