FormFactor Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026

FormFactor is a privacy-first AI form coach that analyzes your exercise form using on-device computer vision and generates personalized coaching reports — all completely offline. We take your privacy seriously and have designed the app from the ground up to keep your data on your device.

What We Collect

Data	Purpose	Stored Where	Retention
Exercise sessions	Records your workout history including rep counts, form scores, joint angles, and detected issues so you can track improvement over time.	On-device only (SwiftData)	Stored locally until you delete the app.
Gym workouts	Stores exercise names, sets, reps, weight, duration, and distance for your workout log.	On-device only (SwiftData)	Stored locally until you delete the app.
Meal entries	Logs food items, serving sizes, and nutritional information for diet tracking.	On-device only (SwiftData)	Stored locally until you delete the app.
App preferences	Saves your settings: appearance mode, audio/haptics toggles, coaching intensity, and unit preferences.	On-device only (UserDefaults)	Stored locally until you delete the app.
Camera frames	Processed in real time by Apple’s Vision framework to detect body pose and analyze exercise form. Frames are never recorded, saved, or transmitted.	In-memory only	Discarded immediately after processing.

What We Do NOT Collect

• No video recording. Camera frames are processed and discarded in real time. Nothing is saved to your photo library or anywhere else.
• No accounts or sign-in. FormFactor has no user accounts, no authentication, and no personal identifying information.
• No cloud sync. Your data is never uploaded to any server. There is no backend.
• No analytics or telemetry. We do not use Firebase, Google Analytics, Mixpanel, or any other tracking service.
• No advertising identifiers.
• No location data.
• No contacts, calendar, or health data.
• No third-party SDKs. FormFactor uses only Apple-native frameworks.
• No network requests. The app makes zero HTTP calls during normal operation.

On-Device AI

FormFactor uses Apple’s Foundation Models framework to generate coaching reports after each session. This AI model runs entirely on your device — your session data is never sent to a server for processing. If your device does not support Foundation Models, a local rule-based fallback generates the report instead.

Camera Usage

FormFactor requires camera access to analyze your exercise form in real time using Apple’s Vision framework. The camera is also used for food scanning via on-device image classification.

• Video frames are processed in memory and immediately discarded
• No footage is ever recorded, stored, or transmitted
• The camera is only active while you are on a scanner screen
• You can revoke camera access at any time in iOS Settings

Data Storage

All persistent data is stored locally in the app’s sandbox:

• Database: SwiftData (on-device SQLite)
• Preferences: UserDefaults

No data is stored in iCloud, shared containers, or any location accessible to other apps.

Data Deletion

All of your data can be deleted by uninstalling the app. There is no server-side data to clean up because none exists.

Children’s Privacy

FormFactor does not collect any personal information from any user, including children under 13.

Changes to This Policy

If we update this privacy policy, the updated version will be posted here with a new “Last updated” date.
