When you use Bout-It, we collect information that helps us provide and improve our fitness accountability platform.

• Account information: Your name, email address, username, mobile number, date of birth, height, weight, gender, timezone, and profile photo when you create an account.
• Workout data: Training plans, workout stories (photos and videos), workout type, duration, intensity, streak records, and progress metrics you log in the app.
• Group activity: Your group memberships, votes, Crown Challenge participation, bench status, and interactions with other members.
• Device information: Device tokens for push notifications, device type, and basic usage patterns to improve app performance.
• Media content: Photos and videos you upload as workout stories, profile pictures, and before/after progress photos.

We use your data to power the features that make Bout-It work:

• Accountability features: Track your workouts, calculate streaks, and display your progress to your training groups.
• Social proof: Share workout stories with your crew so they can see your effort and celebrate your consistency.
• Group dynamics: Enable voting, Crown Challenges, and status tracking within your training groups.
• Communication: Send push notifications about your weekly plan, group activity, and important updates.
• Messaging: Enable direct and group messaging with other members through our chat features.
• Improvement: Analyse usage patterns to build better features for fitness accountability.

Bout-It is built around visible consistency. When you join a group, certain information becomes visible to other members:

• Your weekly training plan
• Workout stories and proof you share
• Streak counts and progress metrics
• Crown Challenge completions
• Your status within the group

• You can leave a group at any time, which removes your data from that group's view. However, interactions you've already shared may remain visible to other members.

We take reasonable measures to protect your information:

• Encrypted data transmission and storage
• Secure authentication for your account
• Regular security reviews and updates
• Access controls limiting who can view your data
• Media files stored on cloud infrastructure

• No system is perfectly secure. We recommend using a strong, unique password and enabling any available security features.

You have control over your data:

• Contact us at support@boutit.com.au for data requests or questions about your information.

• Access: You can view your account data and workout history at any time through the app.
• Correction: You can update your profile and correct inaccurate information.
• Deletion: You can delete your account, which removes your personal data from Bout-It. Some anonymised or aggregated data may be retained.
• Export: You can request a copy of your data in a portable format by contacting us.

Bout-It uses the following third-party services to operate:

• These providers have their own privacy policies and security practices. We only share information necessary to provide their services to you. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

• Firebase (Google): For user authentication and push notifications. Firebase may process your email, device tokens, and authentication data.
• GetStream: For real-time messaging and chat features. GetStream processes your user ID, name, and profile photo to enable messaging.
• Cloud Storage (Google Cloud or AWS): For storing photos and videos you upload. Your media files are stored on cloud infrastructure so that you can share with your group and other friends outside the boutit network!
