Privacy Policy

Effective date: April 2nd, 2026

Introduction

This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) explains how Flexa Fitness L.L.C-FZ (“Flexa”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects your personal information when you use the Flexa Fitness mobile application, web dashboard, and related online services (collectively, the “Flexa Platform” or “Services”).

By accessing or using the Flexa Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy. If you do not agree with this Policy, please do not use the Flexa Platform.

This Policy is intended to comply with applicable data protection laws, including, where they apply to our activities, the General Data Protection Regulation (EU/UK GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), and the UAE Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL), UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data (“UAE PDPL”), and other relevant GCC data protection and privacy laws, to the extent they apply to our activities.

1. Who we are

Flexa Fitness provides a software platform that enables fitness professionals (“Trainers”) and gyms (“Gyms”) to manage clients, sessions, and workout programs.

For most processing activities described in this Policy, Flexa is the data controller (or equivalent under applicable law), meaning we determine how and why personal data is processed.

Trainers and Gyms are independent businesses. They may also act as controllers of the personal data of their clients (“Clients”), for example when they input training notes or health-related information into the Flexa Platform. Flexa does not provide personal training or medical advice, and does not process payments between Trainers, Gyms, and Clients (other than processing platform subscription payments for Trainers and Gyms, as described below).

2. Scope

This Policy applies to:

  • The Flexa Fitness mobile app (including the iOS app distributed via the Apple App Store and Google Play Store),
  • The Flexa web dashboard and any related online services that link to this Policy.
  • The Flexa Website

We do not use your data for cross-app or cross-website tracking for targeted advertising as defined by Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework.

3. Information we collect

We collect various categories of personal data to operate and improve the Flexa Platform. We only collect the data that is relevant and necessary for our legitimate business purposes.

  • Input training notes, goals;
  • Upload content such as photos, notes, or documents;
  • Contact us via support channels (email, in-app chat);
  • Respond to surveys or provide feedback;
  • Configure your marketing and notification preferences.

Some information (such as account details) is required to use core features of the Flexa Platform. Other information (such as fitness data) is entirely optional and based on your explicit consent.

3.3 Information collected automatically

When you access or use the Flexa Platform, we automatically collect certain information through cookies, SDKs, and similar technologies, including:

  • Device type (e.g., iOS),
  • Crash and performance data (e.g., via Sentry).

This information is used for:

  • Operating and securing the Platform;
  • Debugging and improving performance.

3.4 Payment information

Payment and billing for paid access to the Flexa Platform are handled solely via our website using third-party payment gateways. We do not process payments or collect payment card details within the mobile application itself.

If you subscribe to a paid plan, payments are processed through secure third-party payment providers (such as Stripe or local payment gateways).

  • We receive limited payment-related information (e.g., transaction ID, subscription status, partial card details such as last four digits, and payment method type).
  • We do not store full credit card numbers or bank account credentials on our servers.
  • The processing of your payment details is governed by the payment provider's own terms and privacy policy.

3.5 Health & fitness data

Health and fitness data may be considered sensitive personal data (or “special category data”) under certain data protection laws, including the GDPR.

We apply enhanced safeguards to such data and process it only where you have provided explicit consent, or where otherwise permitted by applicable law.

You may choose to provide health and fitness information such as:

  • Height, weight, body composition, performance metrics;
  • Training volume, load, and progress over time.

Key points for health & fitness data:

  • Collection and use of this data is optional and based on your explicit consent.
  • Health and fitness data is used only to provide and improve fitness-related features (e.g., personalized training plans, progress tracking), not for marketing, advertising, or sale to third parties.

If, in the future, we integrate with health data sources provided by your device (for example, Apple Health), we will request additional, explicit consent and will comply with any platform-specific requirements (including those of Apple's developer guidelines).

Trainers and Gyms are independent entities and may have their own privacy notices. You should review their privacy practices as well.

We may disclose your information:

5.5 Aggregated or anonymized data

We may share aggregated or anonymized data that does not identify you personally (e.g., anonymized usage statistics or performance trends) for analytics, research, or marketing purposes.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not disclose health and fitness data to third parties for advertising or profiling.

6. International data transfers

Your personal data may be stored or processed in countries outside your country of residence, including but not limited to data centers in Europe, the Middle East, and North America (e.g., AWS regions).

Where we transfer personal data internationally, we implement appropriate safeguards, which may include:

  • Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by relevant regulators;
  • Contractual obligations requiring recipients to protect data to an equivalent standard;
  • Technical measures such as encryption in transit and at rest.

7. Data retention

We retain personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, including for legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

When data is no longer needed, we will delete it or anonymize it so that it can no longer be associated with you.

  • Encryption in transit (TLS/SSL) and, where applicable, at rest;
  • Role-based access controls and internal policies limiting access on a need-to-know basis;
  • Regular backups and system monitoring;
  • Security logging and auditing.

We regularly review and update our security practices to help protect against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration of data.

9. Your rights and choices

Your rights will depend on the laws of your country or region (e.g., GDPR in the EEA/UK, California CCPA, PDPL in the UAE). Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:

  • Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.

  • Opt out of marketing: Opt out of receiving marketing emails or notifications.

You can exercise many of these rights directly in the app (for example, by updating your profile, adjusting notification preferences, or deleting your account). You may also contact us at: privacy@flexafitness.com

We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law.

Settings → Delete Account

Upon confirmation:

We use cookies, SDKs, and similar technologies to:

  • Keep you logged in and maintain sessions;
  • Remember preferences and settings;
  • Help detect and prevent fraud and abuse.

Disabling or rejecting some cookies or app permissions may limit certain features of the Flexa Platform.

11. Children's privacy

The Flexa Platform is not directed to children under 13 years of age (or under 16 in some jurisdictions, including parts of the EU and UK), and we do not knowingly collect personal data from such children without appropriate parental or guardian consent where required.

If we discover that we have collected personal data from a child contrary to applicable law:

  • We will take steps to delete such information as soon as reasonably practicable.

If you believe that a child has provided personal data to us without proper consent, please contact us at privacy@flexafitness.com.

You can opt out at any time by:

  • Clicking the “unsubscribe” link in marketing emails;
  • Adjusting your notification preferences in the app or on your device;

Please note that even if you opt out of marketing communications, we may still send you important transactional or service-related messages (e.g., security alerts, changes to our Terms, or billing notices).

13. Additional information for Apple App Store users

If you access the Flexa app via the Apple App Store:

  • Certain device-level data (such as your Apple device identifier, app crash information, and purchase history, if applicable) may also be processed by Apple. Apple's processing is governed by its own privacy policy.
  • We do not use your data for tracking across other companies' apps or websites for targeted advertising purposes as defined in Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework.
  • If, in the future, we introduce features that involve “tracking” under ATT (for example, sharing data with third parties for targeted advertising), we will:
    • Update this Policy; and
    • Request your explicit permission via the iOS system prompt before activating such tracking.

14. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, or legal requirements.

  • When we make material changes, we will update the “Effective Date” at the top of this Policy.
  • Where required by law, we will notify you through the Flexa Platform, by email, or by other reasonable means, and may seek your consent to material changes.

Your continued use of the Flexa Platform after any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy.
