Privacy & Data

Privacy Policy

We built Mola for athletes who want control over their training. Here's exactly what we collect, why, and how it's protected.

Effective Date: April 8, 2026  ·  Contact: molafitness.dev@gmail.com

Section 1

Data We Collect

Account & Profile Data

When you create an account or complete onboarding, we collect:

Email address — used for authentication via Firebase Auth.

Personal profile: name, age, gender, height, weight, fitness goals, experience level, injury status, dietary preferences, and preferred language — stored in your private cloud account on Google Firestore.

Health & Fitness Data

Mola stores your fitness activity data in your secure, private cloud account to enable AI personalization and progress tracking:

Workout plans and sessions  ·  Exercise logs (sets, reps, weights)  ·  Rehabilitation logs  ·  Nutrition logs and meal data  ·  Water intake logs  ·  Custom food entries

All of this data is stored in Google Firestore, a cloud database, and is accessible only by your authenticated account. No other user or third party can read your data.

Device & Technical Data

When you use the app, we may automatically collect device model, OS version, app version, and crash/stability data to maintain app performance.

Location Data (GPS)

If you use GPS-based cardio tracking, we access your device's precise location. Location is used solely for calculating distance, pace, and route data during recorded sessions. This requires ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION and FOREGROUND_SERVICE_LOCATION permissions on Android.

You may deny or revoke location permission at any time in your device settings. Core app functionality remains available without location access.

Camera & Photos

Nutrition Scan and Form Analysis (Pro) features require camera access. Images are processed via our secure AI pipeline for immediate feedback. Images are not permanently stored on our servers.

AI Processing — Google Gemini

Mola uses Google Gemini (via Google Cloud Functions) to generate personalized workout programs, meal plans, mobility routines, and exercise alternatives.

What's sent to the AI: Your profile data (age, weight, fitness goals, experience level) and recent workout history are transmitted to Google's AI infrastructure when you generate a plan or workout.

This data is processed in-transit and used solely to return your personalized protocol. We do not use your data to train AI models.

Google's AI data handling is governed by Google's Cloud Services Privacy Notice.

Section 4

Advertising (Free Tier)

The free tier of Mola is supported by ads served through Google AdMob. AdMob may collect:

Device advertising ID (GAID on Android)  ·  General location and device data  ·  App interaction data

This data is used by Google to show relevant advertisements and measure ad performance. To opt out of personalized ads on Android: Settings → Google → Ads → "Opt out of Ads Personalization".

Advertising data is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.

Pro Members do not see ads and are not subject to AdMob ad tracking.

Section 5

In-App Purchases (Pro Membership)

Pro Membership purchases are processed entirely through the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. We do not collect or store any payment card information. We receive only a confirmation of your subscription status from the respective store to unlock Pro features.

Section 5b

Shop & Print-on-Demand (Future Feature)

Mola Fitness has a planned in-app merchandise shop powered by a third-party Print-on-Demand (POD) fulfillment service. When the shop launches, we will collect the following additional data solely to process and fulfill your orders:

Order Data Collected:
Full name  ·  Shipping address (street, city, state/province, ZIP/postal code, country)  ·  Email address (for order confirmation and tracking)  ·  Items and quantities ordered

Third-Party Fulfillment

Your name and shipping address will be shared with our Print-on-Demand fulfillment provider solely for the purpose of manufacturing and delivering your order. We will disclose the specific provider when the shop is launched. The fulfillment provider's privacy practices are governed by their own privacy policy.

Payment Processing

Payment for physical goods will be processed by a third-party payment processor (such as Stripe or the respective app store). We do not collect or store your payment card number, CVV, or full billing details. We receive only an order confirmation and shipping details.

Order Data Retention

Order records (name, address, items purchased) are retained for a minimum of 3 years for legal, tax, and accounting compliance requirements, even after account deletion. You may request a copy of your order history by emailing molafitness.dev@gmail.com.

No shop data is collected at this time. The Mola Fitness merchandise shop is a confirmed planned feature. This section will be updated with the specific Print-on-Demand provider's details at launch.
