Your Weight Story

Privacy policy

Privacy information for the Android app Your Weight Story, published by Gustavo Pacheco.

What the app does

Your Weight Story records weight entries, shows BMI and trend summaries, keeps a target plan, estimates maintenance and target calories from your profile, records body measurements, optional local body-progress photos, and body-composition estimates, stores reminder preferences on your device, scans barcodes for ingredient drafts, can analyze meal photos for ingredient suggestions, and records nutrition entries.

Data the app may store

  • Age
  • Height
  • Sex
  • Activity level
  • Weight entries and dates
  • Body measurement sessions, optional local measurement photos, and optional measurement notes
  • Body-composition estimates calculated from your measurements
  • Nutrition entries
  • Goal weight and target date
  • Reminder preferences

The app also includes Firebase Analytics, which may collect basic app usage, device, and session information to help understand reliability and engagement. Optional body-progress photos attached to measurement sessions stay in local app storage on your device. Meal photos are used only to process an ingredient suggestion and are not stored on our servers.

How the data is used

This information is used to calculate and display weight trends, BMI, goal pacing, estimated maintenance calories, estimated target calories, consistency summaries, measurement history, body-photo comparisons, body-composition estimates, and reminders inside the app.

Barcode lookups send the scanned barcode value to the app backend so the app can return an editable ingredient draft. Firebase Analytics data is used to understand aggregate app usage and reliability.

When meal-photo suggestions are available, a photo may be sent to the app backend or processing provider to return an editable ingredient draft. The photo is processed for that request only and is not stored on our servers.

Body measurements, local body-progress photos, notes, estimates, weights, and nutrition entries are not sent to Firebase Analytics or the barcode backend.

Data sharing

Based on the current app version, weight entries, measurements, local body-progress photos, notes, nutrition entries, and estimates stay on the device and are not sold to third parties. Barcode lookup requests are sent to the app backend. Firebase Analytics data is processed by Google/Firebase as the analytics provider. The app does not sell meal photos or store them on our servers.

Account features

Account-gated versions of the app use Firebase Authentication so you can sign in with Google. The app may process account-related information such as an email address, display name, Firebase user ID, authentication provider, session/authentication tokens, trial status, subscription status, discount eligibility, and support or deletion requests.

Account data is used to authenticate users, manage access, start or enforce trials, process purchases or subscriptions when those are added, reduce repeated trial or discount abuse, provide support, and handle account or data deletion requests. Trial and subscription entitlement status may be stored in Cloud Firestore by Firebase user ID so reinstalling the app with the same account does not restart the trial.

Your Weight Story is intended for users aged 18 and over. Google sign-in authenticates the account, but it is not a standalone proof that a user is 18 or older.

Permissions used

The app may request notification permission so it can deliver reminder notifications. It may request camera permission for barcode scanning or meal photo analysis, and microphone permission if you choose voice correction for a photo draft. You can decline or disable these permissions at any time in Android system settings.

Retention and deletion

Weight entries, nutrition entries, measurements, local body-progress photos, notes, goals, reminders, and local app settings are stored locally on the device. Removing the app removes that local data. This build also opts out of Android cloud backup and device-to-device transfer for app data. Firebase Authentication account records are managed through Firebase and the connected identity provider. Account entitlement records in Cloud Firestore may be retained while needed for access, subscriptions, abuse prevention, support, and legal compliance.

Meal photos sent for analysis are not retained by the app backend after the request. Limited derived request records may be kept for access limits, reliability, and abuse prevention.

Account deletion requests

Account-gated versions of Your Weight Story allow users to request deletion of their account and associated account data. The dedicated deletion instructions explain the request steps, what account-linked data is deleted, what may be retained, and the normal processing timeline.

Request account and data deletion.

Medical disclaimer

Your Weight Story is intended for personal wellness tracking and is not a medical device. It does not provide diagnosis, treatment, or emergency guidance.

BMI, pace, calories, body fat, fat mass, lean mass, RFM, and waist-to-height views are estimates based on the profile details and measurements you enter. They are more useful for following trends than as medical results. Review very low, high, or unsuitable targets with a licensed clinician or dietitian.

Contact and scope

Entries, measurements, body-progress photos, notes, and estimates stay local to the device.

Barcode lookup, photo analysis, account, and Firebase Analytics requests use network access.

Meal photos are processed for suggestions and are not stored on our servers.

Policy questions can be sent to the support email above.
