The short version: Macrowise stores the health and fitness data you enter so it can work out your targets. We don't show ads, we don't use analytics or tracking, and we never sell your data. You can delete everything yourself at any time.
Who we are
Macrowise is run by DB Web Designz Ltd, United Kingdom. We are the "data controller" for your information.
Contact: support@getmacrowise.com
Macrowise is for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18.
What we collect
If you don't sign in
Everything stays on your device or in your browser. Nothing is sent to us.
If you sign in
| Data | Examples |
|---|---|
| Account | Email address, or your Google sign-in. Your name if you enter one. |
| Profile | Sex, age, height, body weight, body fat (optional), activity level, goal and pace. |
| Daily logs | Weight, food totals (calories, protein, carbs, fat, fibre), steps and water. |
| Period dates (optional) | Only if you turn on period tracking, so those days can be left out of your trend. |
| Plans and training | Targets, meal plans, shopping lists, habits, workouts, measurements, supplements, check-ins and notes. |
| Progress photos | Photos you add. Location data (EXIF) is removed from each photo before it is uploaded. |
Some of this is health data, which UK law treats as "special category" data. We only use it to provide the app to you.
Health Connect (Android)
If you allow it, Macrowise reads nutrition (calories, protein, carbs, fat, fibre), weight and steps from Health Connect, to fill in your daily log. It does not write anything to Health Connect, and it does not read any other type of data.
Data from Health Connect is used only to show and calculate your own logs and targets inside Macrowise. It is never sold, never used for advertising, and never shared with anyone except a coach you choose to link with. Macrowise's use of this data follows the Health Connect Permissions policy, including its Limited Use requirements.
What we don't collect
- No analytics, usage tracking or advertising IDs.
- No location data, contacts or microphone access.
- Weigh-in reminders are scheduled on your phone itself, so no reminder data is sent to us.
Why we use it
- To run the app for you: storing your logs, calculating your trend, maintenance and targets, and syncing between your devices. Legal basis: providing the service you asked for (contract).
- Health data: we process it only with your explicit consent, which you give when you enter it or allow Health Connect. You can withdraw it at any time by deleting the data or your account.
- To reply when you contact us. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in helping you.
Who can see your data
- You.
- A coach, only if you link with one. When you enter a coach's code, that coach can see your tracker. You choose whether they see your progress photos (overall and per photo), and any supplement can be kept private from them. Unlinking removes their access straight away.
- Our service providers: Google Firebase (Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Cloud Storage and Hosting) stores your data and runs sign-in for us, under Google's data processing terms. Your account and tracker data is stored in Google's London data centre (europe-west2).
- Google Play, if you buy anything in the app. Google handles the payment under its own privacy policy.
We do not sell your data or share it with advertisers or data brokers.
How long we keep it
Until you delete it. Deleting your account removes your profile, logs, photos, coach link and sign-in from our systems straight away. See how to delete your account. Emails you send us are kept for as long as we need them to help you.
Keeping it safe
Your data is sent over encrypted connections and stored by Firebase. Security rules mean only you, and a coach you have linked with, can read your data. Photos are never given public links.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you can ask to see, correct, download or delete your data, object to how we use it, or withdraw consent. Most of this you can do yourself in the app. For anything else, email support@getmacrowise.com.
If you're unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top. If a change is significant, we'll tell you in the app.
