1. Who we are
This policy explains how Young Muscle Pty Ltd, ABN 96 688 591 899 (Young Muscle, we, us) handles personal information in the Young Muscle app (the App). It applies to our 1:1 coaching clients, membership clients and team members who use the App.
We handle personal information in line with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles. Our coaching and membership programs may have their own privacy terms.
2. What we collect
| What | Examples | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Account details | Name, email address, your role (client, coach, admin), sign-in records | You, when we invite you and when you set up your account |
| Health and nutrition details | Calorie and macro targets, foods you don't eat, dietary filters you choose | You, when you use the Meal Plan Builder and your settings |
| Things you save | Meal plans, shopping lists, favourite recipes, recipe ratings and "I made this", saved takeaway meals | You, when you save them |
| Reminders | The days and times you choose, and a notification token for your phone | You, when you turn reminders on |
| How you use the App | How many meal plans you've built and Takeaway Finder searches you've run (counts only) | The App, automatically |
| Feedback | Your message, an optional screenshot, the page you were on, your phone or browser type | You, when you send a problem or idea |
We treat calorie and macro targets and food preferences as health information, which the law protects more strictly. We only collect it with your consent, by you entering it, and only to build your plans.
We don't collect payment details in the App. We don't use advertising trackers, analytics tools or tracking cookies in the App.
3. Why we use it
We use your information to:
- give you access to the App and keep your account secure;
- build meal plans and shopping lists that suit your targets and the foods you don't eat;
- save your plans, favourites and settings so they're there on any device;
- send the reminders you ask for;
- let your coach support you (see section 4);
- fix problems and improve the App, using your feedback and the usage counts; and
- meet our legal obligations.
We don't sell your information, and we don't use it for advertising.
4. Who can see it
Your coach and our team. Young Muscle coaches and admins can see your name and email, your saved meal plans, favourite recipes and usage counts, so they can support you. Admins can also see feedback you send. Our team only uses this to run your program and the App.
Service providers. We use these companies to run the App. They store or process information for us, under their own security and privacy terms:
| Provider | What they do | Where data may be stored |
|---|---|---|
| Netlify | Hosts the App and stores your saved plans, settings, ratings, reminders and feedback | Sydney, Australia |
| Clerk | Sign-in and accounts: name, email, password (we never see your password) | United States |
| Resend | Sends feedback notification emails to our team | United States |
| Apple / Google push services | Deliver the reminders you turn on to your phone | Overseas |
Your saved plans, settings, reminders and feedback are stored in Australia. Your name, email and sign-in details (Clerk) and the feedback emails sent to our team (Resend) are stored in the United States. We choose providers with strong security, but overseas laws may differ from Australian law. By using the App, you consent to this.
We may also share information if the law requires it.
5. How we store and protect it
- Your information is sent over encrypted (https) connections and stored in private storage that only signed-in, approved people can reach.
- Each person only sees their own plans and settings. Coaches and admins see client information as described in section 4.
- We keep your information while you have access to the App, and for 12 months after, in case you come back. Then we delete it, unless the law requires us to keep it.
- If a data breach is likely to cause you serious harm, we'll tell you and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC), as the law requires.
On your phone. The App also saves some things on your own device so it works quickly and offline: recipe photos, the last macros you typed, your shopping list ticks and a few display settings. Signing out clears the app data stored on that device.
6. Your choices
- See or correct your information. Most of it you can view and change in the App (your plans, favourites, foods you don't eat, reminders). For anything else, email us and we'll respond within 7 days.
- Delete it. You can delete saved plans and other items in the App. To delete your whole account and its data, email us.
- Notifications. Reminders are off unless you turn them on. You can turn them off in the App or in your phone's settings.
- Don't want to share health details? You don't have to enter them, but the Meal Plan Builder needs your macros to build a plan.
7. Complaints, changes and contact
- Questions or complaints. Email admin@youngmuscle.com.au. We'll reply within 30 days. If you're not happy with our response, you can contact the OAIC on 1300 363 992.
- Changes. We may update this policy when the App changes. We'll show the new date below and tell you in the App about significant changes.
