This policy explains what information Pulnyx collects, how we use it, how we protect it, and the choices you have. It covers the app and any related websites and support channels.
Account information. Email address, password (stored only in securely hashed form by our authentication provider), and the profile details you enter: name, date of birth, height, weight, unit preferences, country/locale, fitness goals, dietary preferences, and allergies you choose to record.
Information you log in the app. Food and nutrition logs, recipes and saved meals, workouts and exercises, body measurements, fasting sessions, and similar entries you create.
Health Connect data (Android, optional and opt-in). Pulnyx never reads health data from your phone unless you choose to connect Health Connect and grant permission. Every permission is opt-in: you decide which data types to allow, you can grant or deny each one individually, and denying a permission only turns off the features that need it. If you connect, we request only the following types:
You can review or revoke any or all of these permissions at any time in your phone’s Health Connect settings, and revoking takes effect immediately for future syncing. For heart rate, we store only summary values (such as your resting rate and workout averages), never a continuous raw stream.
Device and technical information. Device type, operating system version, app version, crash and diagnostic logs, and basic usage information needed to keep the app working, secure, and improving. We do not collect precise location.
Advertising data (free version only). If you use the free version, our advertising partner (Google AdMob) collects certain device information to deliver and measure ads, such as your device’s advertising ID, general (city-level) location derived from your IP address, and basic ad-interaction data. This is described further in section 3. No advertising data is collected for Premium subscribers or Remove-Ads purchasers, because they see no ads.
Subscription information. If you subscribe to Premium, your purchase is processed by Google Play. We receive subscription status (for example: active, expired) through our subscription-management provider. We never see or store your card number.
The free version of Pulnyx is supported by advertising; this is what lets us offer a genuinely useful free tier. Premium subscribers and Remove-Ads purchasers never see ads.
Who serves the ads. Ads are delivered by Google AdMob. When an ad is shown, Google may collect your device’s advertising ID, IP-derived general location, and ad-interaction data (such as views and clicks) to deliver ads, limit how often you see the same one, measure performance, and prevent fraud, as described in Google’s own privacy policy.
What we never allow. We never use your health or fitness data to target ads. Ads are never targeted using your health conditions, connected Health Connect data, wearable data, or any sensitive personal attributes, and we never build advertising interest profiles from your logs. At most, an ad may be matched to the general context of the screen you’re on (for example, a food-related ad near food search results) and your country or language.
Where ads never appear. Ads never interrupt you while you’re logging food, workouts, or measurements, and never appear during onboarding or account settings.
Your choices. You can remove ads entirely by subscribing to Premium or purchasing the Remove-Ads option. You can also limit personalized advertising in your device settings (on Android: Settings → Privacy → Ads, where you can delete or reset your advertising ID). Where the law requires it, we ask for your consent before showing personalized ads.
Only with service providers who help us run Pulnyx, under contracts that restrict what they can do with it:
We may also disclose information if the law requires it, or in connection with a corporate transaction such as a merger or acquisition (in which case this policy’s protections follow the data).
All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Our database enforces row-level access rules, meaning your records are technically accessible only to your own account. We use access controls, secrets management, logging, and secure development practices, and we review our security posture regularly.
We keep your information for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, your personal data is deleted from our production systems, and removed from encrypted backups on their normal expiration cycle. You can delete your account in the app under Settings → Account, or by submitting a deletion request as described on our account deletion page. Disconnecting Health Connect stops all future syncing immediately; you can also ask us to delete previously synced health data.
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information, to withdraw consent, and to object to or restrict certain processing. You can also opt out of Health Connect syncing at any time (by revoking permissions or disconnecting) and limit personalized ads as described in section 3. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the address below. We will verify your request and respond within the time the law requires. If we deny a request, you may appeal where the law provides for it.
Pulnyx is not directed to children and is not intended for anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Pulnyx is a fitness, nutrition, and wellness tool. It does not provide medical advice and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Always consult a qualified professional for medical questions, and never rely on the app in situations where failure could cause harm.
Pulnyx is operated from the United States and your information is stored there. If you use the app from elsewhere, you consent to this transfer; where the law requires additional safeguards for international transfers, we apply them.
If we make material changes, especially to how we handle health data, we will notify you in the app and, where required, ask for renewed consent before the change applies to you.
