Who is responsible
Bodycare connects compatible scales with your phone so you can view measurements and follow changes in weight and body composition. This policy covers the Bodycare app, its account services and these account-management pages.
The person responsible for these services and your personal data is Ali Sefidari. Contact support@bodycarescale.com for privacy questions, corrections, account deletion or help accessing your account.
The Android application identifier is com.bodycare.scale.
Information we process
| Information | Why it is used |
|---|---|
| Account & sign-in | Your phone number, account identifier and sign-in/session information let us verify access and manage your account. |
| Profiles | Name, sex, date of birth, height, target weight and athlete settings distinguish people using the account and provide context for supported measurements. |
| Measurements | Weight, measurement time, available body-composition readings and profile context are used for results, history, charts and synchronization. Available readings depend on the scale. |
| Profile pictures | A picture you choose and confirm is stored to display and synchronize your profile image. |
| Technical information | App/operating-system versions and information needed to handle requests support compatibility, reliability and security. Servers also receive the connection IP address. |
| Account messages | Service messages and their read status support the account inbox. |
On your device and online
Account and profile information is stored online. The app also keeps cached information and pending changes on your device so supported features can work without a connection. Eligible changes synchronize when connectivity returns.
Guest-session measurements are not saved or synchronized as profile history. This does not mean that all other use of the app is device-only.
Your device permissions
Bluetooth and nearby scales
On Android, Bluetooth and foreground location permissions support finding and connecting to compatible scales. The app's host code does not request GPS coordinates. Internet services may use the connection IP for security and approximate regional presentation; this is not precise device location.
SMS verification
Sign-in uses a code sent to your phone. Android SMS Retriever can retrieve the verification message without permission to read your entire SMS inbox.
Pictures and reminders
You choose whether to upload a profile picture or enable local weighing reminders. You can manage permissions in device settings. Disabling a permission may stop its associated feature. The account inbox is separate from notification permission.
Health Connect on Android
Sharing with Health Connect is optional and requires your permission. Supported exports can include weight, body-fat percentage, bone mass and lean body mass. Revoking access or deleting your Bodycare account does not remove information already exported to Health Connect. Manage or delete those records separately in Health Connect.
Service providers and security
Hosting and storage services process account records, measurements and selected profile pictures to operate the service. SMS delivery services process your phone number and verification message to provide account access. These providers receive the information needed for their role.
Connections to the website and account service use HTTPS. Access to account-management actions is verified. No online service or storage system can guarantee absolute security.
Retention and deletion
Account records are used while your account is active to provide its features and synchronized history. You can begin deletion from the account deletion page without installing the app.
Verified deletion is completed within one day. It removes live measurements and profile pictures, clears personal account/profile fields and revokes account sessions. Some account/profile identifiers, relationships and deletion timestamps remain to prevent stale data from being restored or reassigned; these records currently have no fixed expiry. Operator-authored service-message campaigns and administrative message records, including their content and creator/target references, are retained separately and are not erased by account deletion. They currently have no fixed expiry.
Service logs and backups are retained for up to six months. Deleted information in an existing backup is removed as that backup expires. Data already held on an offline device or exported to Health Connect is not automatically erased by the server operation.
Uninstalling the app or signing out does not delete your online account.
Your choices
You can manage supported profile fields in the app, choose whether to upload a photo, control device permissions and decide whether to export supported measurements to Health Connect.
To request help with access, correction or deletion, contact support@bodycarescale.com. If you no longer have access to your registered phone number, contact support for an alternative ownership-verification process. Do not send a password, verification code or health measurements by email.
These website pages
The privacy policy can be read without signing in. The deletion flow uses a secure session cookie. Verification access lasts up to 15 minutes; deletion proof lasts up to five minutes after verification. A read-only receipt can be retained for up to 24 hours to check the result if a connection is interrupted. Temporary website session and rate-limit records expire and are periodically removed. Sensitive form values are not placed in page addresses or browser local storage.
These pages do not include advertising, session-replay tools or third-party analytics. The hosting service may keep request/security logs as described above.
Policy updates
We may update this policy when service features or data practices change. The revision date on this page identifies the current text. For questions about an update, contact support@bodycarescale.com.
