How We Protect Your Data

Encryption in Transit

All data transferred between your device and our servers is encrypted using industry-standard SSL/TLS protocols. This prevents unauthorized access during transmission.

Secure Storage

Your data is stored on secure servers with strict access controls. Only authorized personnel can access systems containing user data, and all access is logged and monitored.

Password Protection

Your password is encrypted using strong hashing algorithms. We never store your password in plain text, and we cannot see or recover your original password.

Regular Security Audits

We conduct regular security assessments and updates to protect against emerging threats and vulnerabilities.

Limited Access

We follow the principle of least privilege, meaning employees only have access to data necessary for their job function.

Data Sharing Practices

When We Share Data

We only share data in these limited circumstances:

  • Service Providers: Cloud hosting, analytics tools, and crash reporting services that help us operate the app. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data.
  • Legal Requirements: When required by law or to protect our legal rights.
  • With Your Permission: When you explicitly choose to share information through social features or integrations.

Google Fit Compliance

Bitefit complies with Google's API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. This means:

  • We only use Google Fit data to provide and improve features in Bitefit
  • We do not transfer Google Fit data to third parties unless necessary to provide the app functionality or required by law
  • We do not use Google Fit data for advertising purposes
  • Human review of Google Fit data is limited and only occurs for security, debugging, or compliance purposes

You can disconnect Google Fit at any time through the app settings, and we will stop accessing your Google Fit data immediately.
