Your data and how this app uses it

Who is responsible

Meridian Compass LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company with its registered office at 30 N Gould St STE R, Sheridan, WY 82801, USA, is responsible for this app and for the information it holds. Write to ops@totalbodyupgrade.co with any question about your data, or to ask for it to be deleted.

Thomas is your coach. He reads your records so that he can coach you.

What this app stores

• Your name, email address and timezone.
• Your intake answers: goals, training history, injuries, equipment and how much time you have.
• Body measurements and weight.
• Progress photos.
• Meals: the photo or description you send, and the estimated calories and macros.
• Workouts: exercises, sets, weights, repetitions and your notes.
• Messages you and Thomas send each other.
• Your membership: whether it is active and when the paid period ends. Not your card number.
• Technical records such as when you signed in and which errors the app hit.

Why you are asked to agree

Measurements, photos, injuries and food records are health information. Data protection law treats health information as a special category, and it may only be handled with your explicit permission. Accepting this notice is that permission.

You can withdraw it at any time by writing to the address above. Withdrawing means the app stops holding your records and deletes them.

Who can see your records

Thomas can see everything you record, because that is what coaching him requires. Francesco can see everything, to support you and to fix problems.

Nobody else can. Your records are never sold, never used for advertising and never shared with anyone outside the list below.

Paying for this app

Stripe processes the payments. When you subscribe you enter your email address and your card details on Stripe's own page, so Stripe receives them. This app never sees your full card number.

Stripe holds the subscription record: your plan, your payments, your receipts and your cancellation. This app stores only whether your membership is active and when the paid period ends.

How coaching reaches you

All of it happens inside this app. Your check-in, your messages to Thomas, his replies and his weekly review are written and read here, and nowhere else. No chat app carries any of it.

If you allow this app to send notifications, it can buzz a device you have allowed — to say your weekly check-in is ready, or that Thomas has replied. A notification never carries your weight, your measurements, your food, your photos or the words of a message. It tells you to open the app, and nothing more. You can switch notifications off again in your phone's settings.

Companies that handle data on our behalf

• Supabase stores the database and your photos, in Frankfurt, Germany.
• Vercel runs the app.
• Stripe takes your payment and holds your card details and your subscription.
• Anthropic estimates calories from your meal photos and descriptions. It receives the meal, not your name.
• A push service delivers notifications to your device. Which one it is depends on the browser you use, not on this app: Google's for Chrome, Apple's for Safari, Mozilla's for Firefox. It learns that this app sent your device a notification, and it holds an address for that device. The contents are encrypted so it cannot read them, and they carry no health information in any case.
• Sentry receives technical error reports when something breaks.
• PostHog receives which screens you open, so that the app can be improved. It does not receive your meals, photos or measurements.

Where your records are stored

In Frankfurt, Germany. Some of the companies above are based in the United States and may handle data there under standard European data protection clauses.

How long they are kept

For as long as you use the app. When you stop, ask for deletion and everything goes.

What you can ask for

You can ask to see your records, correct them, delete them, receive a copy to take elsewhere, or withdraw your permission. Write to the address above. You can also complain to a data protection authority if you think your data has been mishandled.

Deleting your account

Write to ops@totalbodyupgrade.co. Everything is deleted within seven days, including your photos. Deletion cannot be undone. Stripe keeps its own payment records for as long as its own rules require.

This app is new

You are one of the first people using Total Body Upgrade. Parts of it will break. Nothing it records or estimates is a medical decision, and the calorie and macro figures are estimates rather than measurements. Please say so when something goes wrong.

This is not medical advice

The medical disclaimer you accept alongside this notice covers that in full. Always consult a qualified professional before changing your diet, training or medication.

If this notice changes

You will be asked to read and accept the new version before you continue. Your previous acceptance is kept as a record of what you agreed to and when.
