Privacy Policy

Version 2026-11-01 · How Wider handles your information

1. Who is responsible

[Legal entity name], [Registered address] (“Wider”, “we”) is the controller of personal information collected through the Service. For privacy questions, requests or complaints, write to our Grievance Officer, , at or use the grievance form. We reply within 7 days. This policy is also available in Hindi through the language switch on the consent screen.

2. What we collect

Information	Examples	Why we use it
Account details	Name, email address, password (stored only as a salted hash), role	Create and secure your account, sign you in, contact you about the Service
Profile and training information you enter	Goals, fitness level, height/weight or similar if you provide them, routines you follow, notes	Personalise recommendations
Workout results	Exercise, date, rep and set counts, form scores, detected issues, improvement tips, duration	Show your history and progress and give feedback; visible to workout buddies you accept, only as far as your sharing settings allow
Clans	Clan membership, clan name and goals you take part in, your training totals counted towards those goals	Let you team up with others. Clan members can see your name, photo and training totals (days, reps, minutes, workouts) towards clan goals only; never body data, photos, food or notes. Members can send each other short preset messages (you can turn these off). If the clan leader turns on the clan league, only the clan name, emblem, size and points are shown to others. You can leave a clan at any time
Nutrition and body logs	Meals, calories, supplements, water, weight, sleep, steps, measurements and photos you choose to log	Show your own targets and trends. Private to you. They are never shown to buddies or used for model training
Workout buddies	Buddy connections, invite code, cheers, challenges you join	Let you train with friends you add. Buddies you accept can see your name and, depending on your sharing settings, your workout activity and personal bests
Tutorial activity	Which tutorials you have watched	Unlock workouts after the tutorial and track completion
Optional training data	Only if you tick “Help improve Wider” for a workout: per-rep joint-angle measurements, range-of-motion, tempo and our score. No video, images, name, email or account ID.	Improve and validate Wider’s scoring; reviewed by qualified coaches
Score feedback	Whether you rated a workout score “too low / about right / too high”	Improve scoring accuracy
Profile	Display name, bio, profile picture or avatar, and the numbers you choose to show (streaks, high scores, accuracy, level, workouts, age)	Let you find and compare with other members. Private by default: only your accepted buddies see it. If you choose Public, any signed-in Wider member can. You can change this at any time
Linked fitness devices	If you link a device or app: daily steps, distance, active minutes, calories, resting and average heart rate, sleep time, and workouts from Strava, Oura, Apple Health, Health Connect or files you upload. For Strava and Oura we also keep an encrypted access token so we can refresh your data.	Show all your devices together in one place. Never used for advertising, never sold, never used to train AI models
Consent records	Version of the legal documents you accepted and when	Keep proof of your agreement
Technical data	IP address, browser/device type, session cookie, security logs, and anonymous error reports from your browser (error message, file, line, page path and browser type — no personal details)	Keep the Service working and secure, prevent abuse and fraud

Some workout information relates to your physical activity and may be considered health or wellness data in some places. We only collect it because you choose to use the Service, and we handle it with extra care.

Body goal photos. If you use Body Goal Plan, the photos you choose are analysed only on your device. They are not uploaded, not stored and not seen by us. Only a few shape ratios (such as shoulder width compared with height) and the plan made from your answers are saved to your account. You can delete a plan at any time, and plans are deleted with your account. These ratios are never shown to other members.

Profiles. Your email, phone number, date of birth, gender, weight, meals, sleep and device data are never shown to other members. Members can report or block a profile; our team reviews reports and may hide a profile or remove a photo that breaks the Terms. Profile pictures are resized and stripped of hidden location data when uploaded.

Linked devices. Linking is optional. Data from Apple Health or Health Connect is read only when you tap sync and only the types you allow in your phone’s settings. You can disconnect any device at any time and choose to delete what it synced. Strava data is shown only to you, is not shared with other members, and carries the “Powered by Strava” notice. Deleting your account deletes all linked-device data and tells Strava to revoke access.

3. Camera and video — what stays on your device

• When you work out, your browser asks for camera permission. Video frames are analysed locally on your device by a pose-detection model to find body landmarks (such as shoulders, hips and knees).
• No video, images or audio are uploaded to our servers or stored by us. Only the resulting numbers (scores, counts and text feedback) are saved if you finish a workout.
• Your browser may download the pose model and code libraries from third-party content networks (for example jsDelivr and Google storage). Those providers can see standard request information such as your IP address.
• Your browser may keep small settings in local storage (for example your voice-cue preference) and cached app files so the app loads faster. These stay on your device.

3A. Optional: helping improve Wider’s scoring

• This is off by default and you choose it separately for each workout, on the set-up screen. Nothing is shared unless you tick it.
• What is shared: numbers describing your movement (for example “knee angle 92°”) and the score for each rep. It is stored without your name, email or account ID, and cannot be used to recreate your video or appearance.
• How it is used: qualified reviewers may rate reps, and we use the data to tune and test Wider’s scoring formula. A new scoring model only goes live after a person approves it.
• Your control: deleting a workout from your history also deletes the numbers shared from it. Because the data is not linked to your account, we cannot find samples for you after the workout is deleted or after it is older than your history.
• We do not use this data for advertising or sell it, and we do not train generative AI chat models on it.

4. How we use information

• To provide, secure and improve the Service and its scoring and feedback;
• to personalise your experience and show your progress;
• to send service messages (such as account or security notices); we send marketing only where the law allows and you can opt out at any time;
• to comply with the law and enforce our terms.

Where the law requires a legal basis, we rely on: performing our contract with you, our legitimate interests in running and securing the Service, your consent (for example for optional features) and legal obligations.

Scores come from automated analysis. They are guidance and are not used to make legal or similarly significant decisions about you.

5. Who we share it with

• Workout buddies you accept: they can see your name, your profile photo and, as set under Workout Buddies → Sharing, your streak, weekly activity, recent workouts and personal bests. You can turn each off, or remove a buddy, at any time. Meals, weight, measurements, sleep, steps and photos are never shared.
• Service providers: hosting, email delivery and similar providers that process data for us under confidentiality and security obligations.
• Legal and safety: authorities or advisers when required by law or to protect rights, safety and security.
• Business transfers: a successor if Wider is merged, sold or reorganised, subject to this policy.

We do not sell your personal information and we do not use it for third-party advertising.

6. Cookies and similar technologies

We use a session cookie to keep you signed in and protect forms against forgery, plus local storage and cached files for app preferences and speed. These are essential to how the Service works. We do not currently use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies; if that changes we will update this policy and ask for consent where required.

7. Retention

Data	How long we keep it
Account, profile and workout results	While your account is active; deleted or anonymised when you delete your account
Camera video	Never stored
Safety-check answers	Not stored
Consent records	While your account exists, as proof of what you agreed to and when
Accounts of people found to be under 18	Blocked at once and deleted within 7 days of being found
Grievances and replies	24 months after they are resolved

We may keep some records longer where the law requires it (for example tax, security or dispute resolution). Backups are overwritten on their normal cycle.

8. Security

We use reasonable security safeguards: hashed passwords, encrypted connections (HTTPS), access controls, request validation and rate limiting. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a strong, unique password and sign out on shared devices. If a personal data breach affects you, we will tell you and the Data Protection Board of India as the law requires.

9. Your choices and rights

Under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 you can ask for a summary of the data we hold, ask us to correct or erase it, withdraw consent as easily as you gave it (Me → Privacy, or the camera prompt), use our grievance channel, and nominate another person to exercise your rights if you die or cannot act. If we do not resolve your grievance you may complain to the Data Protection Board of India. To exercise these rights, use the grievance form or the details above. You can also:

• withdraw camera or sharing consent under Me → Privacy;
• refuse or withdraw camera permission in your browser at any time;
• clear your device’s site data to remove locally stored preferences and cached files;
• ask us to delete your account and the workout history linked to it.

10. Children

Wider is for people aged 18 and over. We ask for your date of birth when you sign up and do not create or keep an account for anyone under 18. If you believe a child has given us information, contact our Grievance Officer and we will delete it.

11. International transfers

Our servers and providers may be located outside India. The pose-detection library may be fetched from content networks run by jsDelivr and Google, which can see your IP address; no workout or video data goes to them. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for such transfers. We do not use advertising or analytics SDKs.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy and will post the new version here with a new version date. If a change is material we will notify you in advance where required.

13. The mobile apps (Android and iOS)

• Camera: the app asks for camera permission only when you start a workout, so it can analyse your form on your phone. Video is not recorded, uploaded or shared. You can withdraw permission at any time in your phone’s settings.
• Nothing else is requested: the apps do not ask for your location, contacts, microphone, photo library (unless you choose a profile or progress photo), or advertising identifier, and they contain no advertising or third-party analytics.
• Storage on your phone: the apps keep cached files and small settings on your device so that workouts and Mind Games work offline. Signed-in members’ Mind Games progress is also saved to their account.
• Delete your account: in the app go to My Profile > Delete my account, or see how to delete your account.
