Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 31, 2026
This page explains what the Grip Raven app collects and why. We try to collect as little as we can. Most of what you type stays on your phone.
Who we are
Grip Raven is run by Aaron Udho, a sole proprietor in Ontario, Canada. A sole proprietor is one person running a business in their own name.
Privacy questions and requests: support@gripraven.com
Where the app is offered
The app is offered in Canada, outside Quebec. It is not offered in Quebec, the European Union, the United Kingdom or Washington State.
Age
You must be 16 or older to make an account. The app asks you to confirm this. We do not check it. We do not knowingly collect data from younger people.
What we collect, where it is kept, how long
| What | Where it is kept | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Foods, diary, daily goals, presets, workouts, settings | On your phone only (until you turn on cloud save) | Until you delete them or delete the app |
| Profile (sex, birthday, height, units, activity level, goal), weigh-ins, cut and bulk dates, goal weight, weigh-in badges, water goal and log, reminder settings and times, calculator numbers, bench program numbers | On your phone only. Never uploaded. | Until you delete them or delete the app. They stay on the phone if you sign out or use Delete my account. |
| Barcode number, when you scan or type a barcode | Sent to Open Food Facts to find the product. Not stored by us unless you save the food. | Open Food Facts decides how long it keeps what it sees |
| Email and password, if you make an account | Supabase (our login provider). We never see your password in plain form. | Until you delete your account |
| Your yes to cloud save (wording version and date), your confirmation that you are 16 or older (and its date), your province, the body type shown on your body map | Supabase, Canada Central region | Until you delete your account. "Stop cloud save" in Settings deletes these records. |
| Cloud save, only if you say yes: workouts, foods, diary, goals, presets, plan and settings, plus the time each item was last edited | Supabase, Canada Central region | Until you delete your account |
| AI coach chats, only if AI is available and you say yes: your question and the answer | Supabase | 30 days, or sooner if you use "Delete coach chats" in Settings |
| Food label photo, only if AI is available and you say yes | Sent to Anthropic to read the label. We do not keep the photo. | Not kept by us |
| Your yes to AI (wording version and date) and a daily count of your AI requests | Supabase | Until you turn off AI data sharing (the yes) or delete your account |
We do not collect your name, phone number, location or device ID. We use no analytics, no ads and no crash-report tools. We do not sell your data.
What stays on your phone
Without an account, the app keeps your data on your phone. We do not receive it. Your profile, weight, water, reminders and badges are about your body and health, so they stay on your phone even if you turn on cloud save. They are never uploaded, never sent to the AI and never used for ads.
Reminders are set by your iPhone on the phone itself. No notification goes through our server. All reminders are off until you turn them on.
If you delete the app, this data is removed from your phone. Your iPhone's own backup may include app data.
Barcode lookup
When you scan or type a barcode, the barcode number is sent to Open Food Facts to find the product. Open Food Facts can see your phone's IP address. We send no name, email, user ID, device ID or location. The camera picture is used on your phone to read the barcode. It is not saved or sent. The app tells you this the first time and lets you cancel.
AI features
AI features are off until you say yes on their own screen. They may not be available yet. You need an account to use them. You can turn them off any time in Settings. The rest of the app works without them.
- Coach: we send the question you type (up to 500 characters), your last 6 coach messages, and our approved answer text. We do not send your name, email or user ID. The coach does not see your profile, weight, water, goals, plan, foods or workouts. Your questions can mention your body, food or injuries, so please do not type anything you want to keep private.
- Label scan: we send the photo you take of a Nutrition Facts table. Our server holds it only while the request runs. We do not keep it. Only the numbers you check and save become a food in your list.
Your requests go through our server (Supabase) to Anthropic, the AI company. Some of this processing may happen outside Canada. Anthropic handles what it receives under its own policy: Anthropic's privacy policy.
AI answers are made by a computer. They can be wrong. They are not medical advice.
Why we use your data
To run the features you ask for. Nothing else.
Companies that handle data
Each company handles data under its own privacy policy. We link to them instead of repeating them.
- Supabase (login, storage and our server code): Supabase privacy policy
- Anthropic (AI coach and label scan, only if you say yes): Anthropic privacy policy
- Apple (the iPhone, the App Store and reminders on your phone): Apple privacy policy
- Open Food Facts (barcode lookup): Open Food Facts legal page
Some of these companies may process data outside Canada.
Your choices
We ask before your first barcode lookup. We ask separately before cloud save and before anything goes to the AI. You can say no to cloud save and keep using the app on your phone only.
If you make an account and then say no to cloud save, the app signs you out. Your email and password stay with Supabase until you delete the account. To delete it, sign in again and use Delete my account in Settings, or email us.
"Stop cloud save" in Settings stops new uploads. It does not delete what is already in the cloud. Delete your account to remove that. "Turn off AI data sharing" in Settings stops AI features. It does not delete saved coach chats. Use "Delete coach chats" for that.
See, fix, export or delete your data
You can ask to see, correct, export or delete your data, and you can take back your consent. Use Settings in the app, or email support@gripraven.com. We will reply as soon as we can.
- Export my data (Settings) makes a CSV file, which is a spreadsheet file. It is built on your phone. It has your foods, diary, goals, workouts, profile, weigh-ins, water, reminder settings, badges and calculator numbers, plus your email. It does not include coach chats. Email us for those.
- Delete my account (Settings) removes your login and all your cloud data, including coach chats. Data on your phone stays until you delete the app. A copy may stay in Supabase's backups for a short time before it is overwritten.
- When an account is deleted, we keep one short record: an internal ID (not your email), the date and the reason. It lets us delete you again if a backup is ever restored.
If you are not happy with our answer, you can contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
Security
Cloud data is protected by login rules, so each account can only read its own rows, and by encrypted connections. Data on your phone is protected by your phone's own lock. No system is perfectly safe. If a breach could cause real harm, we will tell you and the privacy regulator as the law requires.

Changes
If we change this page, the date at the top changes. We will tell you in the app before important changes.
