IJ Fitness ("we", "our", "us") operates the IJ Fitness membership app and
member portal (the "App") for our gym in Beirut, Lebanon. This policy
explains what information we collect from members who use the App, how we
use it, and the choices you have.
Fitness profile: weight, height, age, fitness level, training goals, days per week you train, injuries or medical conditions, allergies, dietary restrictions, and any other notes you choose to share with your coach.
AI Coach conversations: messages you send to the in-app AI coach, including any photos you attach.
Device & push notification data: a device token used to deliver push notifications (e.g. reminders, plan updates).
How we use your information
To provide and manage your membership, including check-in and front-desk operations.
To generate personalized workout and diet plan drafts using AI, based on your fitness profile. Every AI-generated plan is reviewed and approved by a human coach before it becomes active — nothing reaches you without staff review.
To power the in-app AI coach chat, which answers your fitness-related questions using your plan and activity as context.
To send you push notifications relevant to your membership (e.g. plan ready, expiry reminders).
To improve the safety and quality of AI-generated content — for example, allergy information is used strictly to exclude foods, never to suggest them.
Sharing your information
We do not sell your personal information. We share limited data with:
AI service providers (e.g. OpenAI) — to generate workout/diet drafts and power the AI coach chat. Only the fitness-profile fields and chat content needed to answer your request are sent; this data is not used by us to train third-party models.
Push notification infrastructure (Firebase Cloud Messaging) — to deliver notifications to your device.
Gym staff and trainers, who can see your fitness profile and plans as part of running your membership.
Data retention
We retain your account and fitness data for as long as your membership is
active, and for a reasonable period afterward for record-keeping purposes.
You can request deletion of your account and associated data at any time
by contacting us (below).
Your choices
You can review and update your fitness profile at any time from within the app (Coach → Profile).
You can ask us to correct, export, or delete your personal data by contacting us.
You can disable push notifications from your device's system settings.
Children's privacy
The App is intended for gym members and is not directed at children under
13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your
information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we
work to protect your data appropriately for its sensitivity.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be
reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.
