1. Introduction

SomaForge ("we," "our," or "the App") is a health and fitness tracking application. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information when you use SomaForge.

2.3 Apple HealthKit Data

With your explicit permission, SomaForge reads the following from Apple HealthKit: sleep analysis, heart rate variability (HRV), resting heart rate (RHR), step count, weight, blood pressure, VO2 max, and blood oxygen (SpO2). SomaForge also writes workout data, nutrition intake, water consumption, weight, and blood pressure readings to Apple Health.

We do not sell HealthKit data to third parties, use it for advertising, or share it with data brokers. HealthKit data is used solely to provide health tracking features within the App.

2.4 Purchase Data

SomaForge collects purchase history related to your in-app subscription (monthly or annual plan). Purchase transactions are managed by Apple's App Store and processed through RevenueCat. We receive transaction receipts and subscription status to manage your access to Pro features. We do not store payment card details.

Diagnostic data is not linked to your identity. Crash reports are anonymized and used solely to improve app stability.

2.7 Cookies & Local Storage

SomaForge's website does not use cookies, analytics scripts, or third-party tracking technologies. We use browser localStorage solely for UI preferences (such as theme selection). Authentication session tokens are managed by Supabase and stored securely in the browser. No cookie consent banner is required because we do not deploy cookies or cross-site tracking.

When you use these features, relevant health data (such as recent vitals, workout history, or medication logs) may be sent to Anthropic's API for processing.
