2. How We Use Your Information

3. Data Storage & Security
Local storage: Core workout data — including all exercises, sets, routines, and your AI chat history — is stored locally on your device using SQLite. This data is available offline and does not require a network connection.
Cloud storage: When you are connected to the internet, your workout data is synced to secure cloud servers hosted by Supabase (see Section 4). Cloud backup allows you to restore your data on a new device or after reinstalling the App.
We implement industry-standard security measures including encrypted connections (TLS), row-level security policies, and access controls. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.
4. Third-Party Services
Buffro uses the following third-party services to power the App:
Supabase (database & authentication): We use Supabase to store cloud-synced workout data and manage user authentication. Your data is stored in Supabase's secure infrastructure. Supabase's privacy policy is available at supabase.com/privacy.
OpenAI (AI Coach feature): When you use the AI Coach (“Ro”), your messages are sent to OpenAI's API for processing. We send only the content of your chat messages — we do not send your workout data, personal details, or account information to OpenAI. By using the AI Coach, you agree that your messages may be used by OpenAI for training, research, evaluation, and other development purposes in accordance with OpenAI's Content Sharing Agreement. Do not share sensitive, confidential, or proprietary information through the AI Coach. AI chat history is stored locally on your device only. OpenAI's privacy policy is available at openai.com/privacy.
Google (authentication): If you choose to sign in with Google, Google will share your email address and profile information with us for authentication purposes. Google's privacy policy applies to your use of Google Sign-In.
5. Data Retention
We retain your account and workout data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, your data will be removed from our cloud servers within 30 days, subject to legal retention requirements.
AI chat messages are stored locally on your device only and are deleted when you clear your chat history or uninstall the App. We do not retain AI conversation logs on our servers.
You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us at support@buffro.app.

Users between 13 and 18 must have parental or guardian consent before creating an account.
