Privacy Policy

Effective November 13, 2026

Plates & Flex ("we") makes a fitness and meal-planning app for Android and the web. This policy explains what the app collects and why. The short version: your profile, workouts and food logs stay on your device. We don't sell your data.

What stays on your device

• Your profile: age, height, weight, goal weight, sex, training days, gym, kitchen appliances, eating style, allergies, diabetes setting and fasting schedule.
• Your workout logs, meal check-offs, food you log and body measurements.
• This data is stored in the app's local storage on your phone or browser. We do not upload it to our own servers. If your phone's Android backup is turned on, Android may back up app data to your own Google account; that backup is controlled by Google and you.

Music controls

If you turn on music controls, Android asks you to grant notification access. The app uses it only to read what's playing in your music app and to send play, pause and skip commands. It does not read, store or send your messages or other notifications.

Notifications and timers

If you allow notifications, the app schedules workout, meal, shopping and progress reminders, and alerts when a rest, cardio or break timer ends. These are planned on your phone from your own settings; nothing is sent to us. The app may ask Android for permission to schedule exact alarms so timer alerts arrive on time. You can change or turn off reminders in the app, or in Android Settings > Apps > Plates & Flex > Notifications.

Sharing your workout

If you tap Share after a workout, the app makes a summary image on your phone and opens Android's share menu. Nothing is shared unless you choose an app to send it with. Calories and goal dates are left off the image.

Photos

If you choose a picture in the app, it is processed on your device and is not uploaded by us.

Ads

The free version shows ads from Google AdMob. AdMob may collect your device's advertising ID, approximate location from your IP address, and app-usage information to show and measure ads. You can reset or delete your advertising ID in Android Settings > Google > Ads. Where required by law, the app asks for your consent before personalized ads are shown. See how Google uses information from apps that use its services.

Subscriptions

Purchases are handled by Google Play. We receive a confirmation that you subscribed, not your payment details.

Store links

Some links open stores such as Walmart, Amazon and Sam's Club. If you buy through them we may earn a commission. Those stores' own privacy policies apply once you're on their sites. We share no personal data with them; the link only carries our partner tag.

Children

Plates & Flex is for adults 18 and over. We don't knowingly collect data from children.

Deleting your data

Clear the app's storage in Android Settings > Apps > Plates & Flex > Storage, or uninstall the app. On the web version, clear the site's data in your browser.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes we'll update the date above. Questions: see the contact page.
