Privacy Policy

Last updated: 23 September 2026

1. Who We Are

LeanerTogether is operated by LEANERTOGETHER PTE. LTD. (UEN 202630813G), a Singapore-incorporated company. We are committed to protecting your personal data in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) of Singapore.

2. Data We Collect

We collect the following types of personal data:

  • Account data: Name, email address, password (hashed)
  • Body metrics: Age/date of birth, gender, weight, height, waist measurements, body fat estimates
  • Health information: Self-reported health conditions, fitness goals, dietary preferences
  • Daily logs: Food logs, water intake, sleep records, steps, weight entries
  • Coaching data: Chat messages, check-in responses, lesson completions
  • Usage data: App access logs, feature usage patterns
  • Location (optional): Only when you ask the coach for food near you and allow it on your phone; used once for that answer, rounded to about 100 m, and not kept

3. How We Use Your Data

Your data is used to:

  • Personalise your coaching experience and recommendations
  • Calculate your calorie, protein, and hydration targets
  • Track your progress and generate trend analysis
  • Power AI coaching conversations via our AI provider (OpenAI)
  • Analyse food and nutrition-label photos you choose to scan, by sending the image to our AI provider (OpenAI) to estimate calories and macros
  • Provide accountability scores and programme tracking
  • Send relevant notifications and reminders
  • Improve the App's features and user experience

4. Sensitive Health Data

Health-related information you provide (such as medical conditions) is treated as sensitive personal data. This information is used solely to personalise your coaching experience and is never sold or shared with third parties for marketing purposes.

Apple Health (HealthKit) and Health Connect. With your permission, the LeanerTogether iPhone app reads your step count and sleep from Apple HealthKit, and the Android app reads them from Health Connect, so they can be logged automatically. This access is read-only: we never write your data back to the health app it came from. Health data obtained this way is used only to show your own progress and daily score; it is never used for advertising or marketing, never used for data mining, never sold, and never disclosed to third parties without your explicit consent. It is stored on our secure servers, not in iCloud. You can revoke this access at any time in your phone's system settings, and deleting your account deletes this data.

5. Data Sharing

We share your data only with:

  • OpenAI: To generate AI coaching responses and to analyse any food or nutrition-label photos you scan. Your conversations and scanned photos are processed by OpenAI's servers to return a result; meal photos you scan are kept privately in your account so each meal can show its picture (see Photos below); photos of nutrition labels and menus are not kept after they are read Please review OpenAI's privacy policy at openai.com.
  • Neon (Database): Your data is stored in a secure PostgreSQL database hosted on Neon's cloud infrastructure.
  • Vercel (Hosting): The App is hosted on Vercel's platform.

Other AI features (voice notes, menu and ingredient scans, the body transformation preview, and the context that personalises coach chat, which can include health conditions you have shared, though you can turn that off in your profile) also send the relevant data to OpenAI to return a result. See How we use AI with your data for the full picture.

We do not sell your personal data to any third parties.

6. Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. Your coaching chat history and coach memory are kept for the life of your account so your coach stays consistent, and are deleted when you delete your account. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required by law to retain it.

Meal photos you scan are kept privately in your account so each meal can show its picture, and photos from the supermarket game are kept the same way. They are deleted when you delete your account. Photos of nutrition labels and menus, and voice notes, are processed to return a result and are not kept afterwards. If you use My Health, the reports you add and the results you save are kept privately in your account until you delete them, and a report is read with AI only after you agree. Our backups are encrypted and kept for up to 14 days in the cloud and 30 days in a secured local copy, so deleted data leaves the backups within 30 days. See How we use AI with your data for the full picture.

7. Your Rights

Under Singapore's PDPA, you have the right to:

  • Access your personal data held by us
  • Correct inaccurate personal data
  • Withdraw consent for the use of your personal data
  • Request deletion of your account and data

You can delete your account and all your data yourself, instantly, from Profile → Account & privacy → Delete account in the app, or read how at leanertogether.com/delete-account.

To exercise these rights, contact us at chinhock@leanertogether.com

8. Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including encrypted data storage, HTTPS connections, and hashed passwords. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.

9. Cookies

The App uses cookies and session tokens to maintain your logged-in state. These are essential for the App to function and cannot be disabled.

On our public pages we also use the Meta (Facebook) Pixel to measure how well our advertising works and to understand how visitors arrive from Facebook and Instagram. This may set advertising cookies and share limited event data, such as page views and sign-ups, with Meta. You can control ad tracking through your Facebook ad preferences and your browser or device settings.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes via email or in-app notification. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance.

11. Purchases and Subscriptions

LeanerTogether+ is an optional paid plan bought through the App Store or Google Play. The store takes your payment and holds your card details: we never see your card, and we never charge you for the plan ourselves.

To know whether your plan is active, your account carries a private billing reference that is not your email or your account number, and our subscription processor, RevenueCat, tells us the state of your plan (active, cancelled, expired, refunded) with an anonymous transaction reference from the store. We keep that state to grant the plan and to answer billing questions. RevenueCat does not receive your health data.

Cancelling or changing a plan is done in the subscription settings of the App Store or Google Play. Deleting your account does not cancel a store subscription; cancel it separately in the store.
