Privacy Policy

Effective May 29, 2026

Shitbod is a satirical fitness tracker. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the control you have over your data. It is written to be readable — if anything is unclear, email support@shitbod.com.

What we collect

  • Account details — your email address, a username, and a chosen avatar. Your password is stored only as a salted bcrypt hash; we never see or store the plaintext.
  • Activity you create — food logs (including any photos you upload), calorie estimates, weight entries, challenge completions, comments, and reactions.
  • Social graph — friend requests and connections you make.
  • Technical data — standard request metadata (IP address, timestamps) used transiently for rate-limiting and abuse prevention.

How we use it

  • To run the app: showing your feed, stats, streaks, leaderboards, and friends.
  • To analyze food photos, the image you upload is sent to ShitbodAI — our calorie estimator, which runs on Google's Gemini API — solely to estimate the food and its calories. It is not used to advertise to you.
  • To keep the service healthy and secure (rate-limiting, debugging via aggregated error reports).

Cookies

We set a single strictly-necessary, HttpOnly session cookie to keep you logged in. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies, so no cookie-consent banner is required. Product analytics, where enabled, are collected in an aggregated, cookieless form.

Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with the infrastructure providers needed to operate the app — hosting and database (Vercel, SurrealDB Cloud), image storage (Vercel Blob), and Google's Gemini API — which powers ShitbodAI — for the food-analysis feature you trigger.

Your rights & deleting your account

You can permanently delete your account at any time from Profile → Danger Zone → Delete Account. This irreversibly removes your user record, food and weight logs, comments, reactions, friend connections, and uploaded photos. You may also email support@shitbod.com to request access, correction, or deletion of your data.

Not medical advice

Shitbod is a comedy app. Nothing in it is dietary, nutritional, or medical advice. Do not make real health decisions based on it.

Changes

We may update this policy; material changes will be reflected by a new effective date above.
