Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy

This policy applies to residents of Washington State (under the My Health My Data Act), Nevada (under SB 370), and other US states with consumer health data laws. It describes how Gryter — operated by Abid Waqar, a sole proprietor doing business as Gryter — collects, uses, shares, and lets you control your consumer health data.

This is a separate policy, as those laws require. Our general Privacy Policy covers everything else.

Gryter is a fitness coaching service, not medical care. It is not a medical device, and it does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition. When we adjust your training around something you have told us, or suggest you speak to a healthcare professional, that is a precaution — not a medical assessment, and not clearance to train. See Terms of Service, section 3.

1. Categories of consumer health data we collect

2. Where this data comes from

We do not collect consumer health data from Apple Health, Google Fit, wearables, biosensors, data brokers, advertising networks, healthcare providers, or any other outside source.

3. How we use it, and why

We use your consumer health data only to provide the coaching service you asked for. Specifically:

We do not use consumer health data for advertising, marketing, profiling for advertising, or research, and we never sell it.

One exception you control. If you switch on the optional usage-analytics setting — off by default — some workout events we send to our analytics provider include training details such as the exercise, the load, and the reps, linked to your account. That is product analytics on fitness activity, and it happens only while you have that setting on. Turning it off stops it immediately. Nothing you have told us about injuries or conditions, and no nutrition or body-composition data, is ever sent to analytics.

4. Categories of consumer health data we share

We share the following categories with the third parties named in Section 5, and only as necessary to operate the service:

We never share your name, email address, profile photo, or account identifier with our AI providers alongside this data.

5. Third parties we share it with

We share consumer health data only with service providers and processors acting on our behalf, limited to our instructions and purposes under the terms that govern the paid services we use. The current status of our formal agreements with each is on our subprocessors page:

The current list, with what each provider receives and where it processes it, is maintained on our subprocessors page.

We may also disclose consumer health data where legally compelled to do so, or where necessary to protect against a serious threat to health or safety.

6. We do not sell your consumer health data

Gryter does not sell consumer health data, and has never sold it. We do not exchange it for money or other valuable consideration with anyone. We do not share it with advertisers, data brokers, social networks, or analytics companies for their own purposes.

Because we do not sell consumer health data, we do not collect the separate written authorization that Washington law would require for a sale. If that ever changes, we would obtain a valid signed authorization from you first, in the form the law prescribes.

7. Consent

Collection and sharing. We collect your consumer health data, and share the parts our AI provider needs, because both are necessary to provide the coaching service you asked us for — the basis Washington's My Health My Data Act provides at RCW 19.373.030(1) and (2).

We also ask for your explicit, opt-in permission before coaching begins, given separately from your acceptance of our Terms of Service, and we show you what it means before you agree. You can withdraw it at any time in Settings; withdrawing stops further collection and sharing.

Usage analytics and crash diagnostics are a separate, optional choice, switched off by default. Declining them does not affect your access to coaching.

8. Your rights

You have the right to:

How to exercise them

Deleting your account erases your consumer health data from Gryter's own systems immediately. Some copies are outside our reach and we would rather say so plainly: data already sent to our AI provider stays in that provider's systems until it ages out on their schedule, at least 30 days, and we cannot delete it on demand; analytics data, if you had opted in, expires on its own schedule; and data may persist briefly in encrypted backups before they roll over. If you want us to chase a specific record with a provider, email [email protected] and we will do what that provider's process allows.

We respond to requests within 45 days, and will tell you if we need a further 45 days because a request is complex. There is no charge, and we will not treat you differently for making a request.

Appeals

If we decline a request, we will tell you why and how to appeal. To appeal, reply to our decision or email [email protected] with "Appeal" in the subject line. We will respond within 45 days. If we deny your appeal, you may contact the Washington State Attorney General at atg.wa.gov/file-complaint, or the attorney general of your own state.

9. How long we keep it

We keep your consumer health data while your account is active, and delete it when you delete your account. Full retention periods are in Section 12 of our Privacy Policy.

10. Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will update the date above and notify you before the change applies to your previously collected consumer health data, as the law requires.
