1. Data Types Collected We collect the following categories of user data as part of our services:

Personal Information: Name, email address, and other contact details provided during account registration or through customer support interactions.
Health and Fitness Data: Data related to physical activities, exercise history, health status, injuries, and other fitness-related information users share or track within the App.
Usage Data: Information related to user interactions with the App, including session times, features used, device type, location, and technical details like IP addresses and browser information.
Account Information: Data that helps us maintain and secure user accounts, including authentication details and preferences.

2. Purpose of Data Retention

HomeFit collects and retains data to provide the best experience for our users, improve our services, comply with legal obligations, and ensure the security and functionality of the App. This policy applies to all data that is collected from users, including personal information, health-related data, usage data, and other information provided through user interactions with the App.

3. Data Retention Period

HomeFit will retain personal data for the duration of your active use of the App and for a specified period thereafter as required by law or for legitimate business purposes. Retention periods are determined based on the following criteria:

Active Accounts: User data will be retained as long as the account is active, i.e., the user continues to access and use the App. If the account is not used for 12 consecutive months, it may be considered inactive.
Inactive Accounts: If an account remains inactive for 12 months or longer, HomeFit will send a notification to the user informing them of the potential deletion of their data. If no action is taken, the account and associated data may be deleted.
Legal and Compliance Requirements: Certain data may be retained for longer periods to comply with legal or regulatory requirements, such as financial records, health-related data, or contract-related information.
Deletion Requests: Users may request deletion of their data at any time, subject to legal requirements or business needs. Once a deletion request is processed, personal data will be removed, unless retention is required by law.

4. Data Deletion

Users have the right to request the deletion of their personal data from HomeFit’s systems. Upon account termination or request, HomeFit will take reasonable steps to erase user data, except when:

Retention is necessary for compliance with legal obligations (e.g., tax or health-related data).
Data is needed for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
HomeFit has other legitimate business reasons to retain certain data.

Once user data is deleted, it will no longer be accessible through the App or in any other HomeFit systems. However, certain logs, backups, or anonymized data may persist for a limited period for operational or compliance purposes.

5. Data Storage and Security

HomeFit employs industry-standard security measures to protect user data from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction. These measures include encryption, access controls, and regular security audits.

Data Storage Locations: User data is stored in secure, compliant cloud environments. HomeFit ensures that any third-party providers used for data storage adhere to strict data protection standards.
Data Encryption: Sensitive data, such as health and fitness information, is encrypted in transit and at rest to protect it from unauthorized access.
Access Controls: Access to user data is restricted to authorized personnel only, and all such personnel are trained in data protection and confidentiality.

6. Third-Party Data Sharing

HomeFit does not sell or lease your personal data to third parties. However, data may be shared with trusted service providers who assist in the operation of the App and perform services such as data storage, customer support, analytics, and payment processing. These third parties are required to maintain confidentiality and security of your data.

In certain circumstances, HomeFit may be required to disclose user data due to legal obligations, such as:

Compliance with legal processes or law enforcement requests.
Protection of HomeFit’s rights, property, or safety.
Protection of users or others from harm or fraud.

7. Anonymized and Aggregated Data

HomeFit may anonymize and aggregate data for research, analytical, and business improvement purposes. Such data will not personally identify users and may be retained indefinitely for these purposes.

8. Changes to This Policy

HomeFit reserves the right to update or amend this Data Retention Policy as necessary. We will notify users of material changes through the App or by email. Users are encouraged to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how their data is being managed.
