Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how My Movemates ("My Movemates", "we", "us", or "our"), operated by AveeDev Digital Inc., collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you use the My Movemates mobile app and related services.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Account and sign-in information
When you sign in with Google or Apple, authentication is handled through Google Sign-In, Sign in with Apple, and Firebase Authentication. Depending on your account settings and the information made available by those providers, this may include:
- Google account identifier, Apple account identifier, or Firebase user identifier
- Name and profile photo
- Email address
If you use Sign in with Apple, Apple may allow you to share a private relay email address instead of your personal email address. We use sign-in information to authenticate you, keep you signed in, associate your app data with your account, and support profile, friends, referral, notification, and leaderboard features.
1.2 Health data and activity information
If you grant permission, My Movemates reads your step count from Apple Health on iOS or Health Connect on Android.
- Read-only access only: the app reads step count and does not write Health Data back to Apple Health or Health Connect.
- Health Data access is optional and can be revoked at any time in your device settings.
- We use step count to show your daily activity in the app, support widgets, and determine eligibility for in-app step-based rewards or claims.
- We do not use Health Data for advertising or sell Health Data.
Based on the current app implementation, My Movemates does not directly upload your raw step-count history from Apple Health or Health Connect to our backend. However, the app may sync derived activity or reward-related records, such as whether a step-based reward was claimed, in order to keep your account progress consistent across sessions and devices.
1.3 On-device workout, profile, and usage data
My Movemates stores certain data locally on your device to power app features, including:
- Workout progress, completed sets, video progress, timestamps, and related counters
- Stats such as sets done, active days, active hours, focus time, exercise time, body-part counters, Move Coins, Karma Coins, streaks, and similar progress totals
- Personalization settings such as your alias, avatar preference, theme, selected focus areas, goals, caution areas, caution handling, and routine filters
- App tour and feature prompt completion status
- Cached leaderboard snapshots, friends snapshots, poke state, referral/Thanks state, and exercise recommendations
- Home Screen or Lock Screen widget snapshots
1.4 Server-side synced data
When you are signed in and app services are enabled, My Movemates may send certain authenticated data to our backend services, including:
- Your authenticated account token or account identifier needed to verify your session
- Progress sync events, timestamps, timezone information, activity totals, body-part deltas, Move Coins, Karma Coins, streaks, and derived progress deltas
- Personalization data such as your alias, avatar preference, selected focus areas, goals, caution areas, caution handling, and routine filters
- Requests and responses related to stats summaries, exercise recommendations, filter options, and leaderboard data
- Limited profile or leaderboard display data needed to support account, ranking, friends, referral, and social features
1.5 Friends, referrals, leaderboard, and social data
If you use friends, referral, Thanks, leaderboard, or poke features, My Movemates may collect and process:
- Alias, public user identifier, rank, Move Coins, Karma Coins, and leaderboard display data
- Friend search requests, friend requests, accepted friend relationships, request status, timestamps, and removal actions
- Referral or Thanks records, including aliases or public user identifiers, timestamps, Karma Coin grants, and Personalized preview access status
- Poke records, including sender and recipient aliases or public user identifiers, message text, selected language and tone, status, read/open/reply timestamps, reply eligibility, reply Move Coins, reply muscle names, and related Karma Coin credits
1.6 Notifications and device data
If you allow notifications, My Movemates may schedule local reminder notifications on your device. For social notifications, My Movemates uses Firebase Cloud Messaging. To support these notifications, My Movemates may register and store:
- Firebase Cloud Messaging device token
- Platform
- Timezone offset
- App version
- Notification-related identifiers and payload fields needed to route the notification and open the relevant app screen
Notification payloads may include limited social context, such as a poke ID, sender or recipient alias, message text, request ID, or Personalized preview access status.
1.7 Feedback submissions
If you submit in-app feedback, My Movemates sends your message and related context to our backend.
1.8 Analytics and advertising identifier information
My Movemates may use Firebase Analytics to understand app usage, feature performance, reliability, and launch-readiness. Firebase Analytics may collect app interaction data and technical identifiers, such as app instance identifiers, device or app information, and on Android, the Android Advertising ID when available.
My Movemates does not show third-party ads, sell personal information, or use the Android Advertising ID to target advertising in the app. If the Android Advertising ID is collected, it is used for analytics and measurement purposes. You can reset or delete your Android Advertising ID in your device settings.
