Stride ("we," "us," or "our") is a mobile application for iOS that helps individuals track their GLP-1 medication journey, including dose logging, weight tracking, and related health data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you use the Stride app. It is incorporated into and subject to our Terms of Service.
Stride is a personal software tool, not a healthcare provider. We are not a "covered entity" or "business associate" under the U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ("HIPAA"), and information you enter into Stride is not "protected health information" governed by HIPAA. We handle your information under this Privacy Policy and applicable data-protection laws, not under HIPAA.
If you have questions, contact us at support@strideglp1.com.
Information you provide directly:
Information from Apple Health (only if you grant permission):
Apple Health data is read directly on your device. We only upload weight data to our servers when you choose to sync — all other Health data remains on-device.
Information collected automatically:
We use your information solely to provide and improve the Stride service:
We do not use your health data for advertising, sell it to third parties, or share it for purposes unrelated to operating Stride.
Your account data is stored securely using Supabase, a cloud database platform with encryption at rest and in transit (TLS). Progress photos are stored in Supabase Storage, isolated per user account.
We use industry-standard security practices including:
No security system is perfect, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you believe your account has been compromised, contact us immediately at support@strideglp1.com.
No guarantee against data loss. While we take reasonable steps to store your data, we do not guarantee that data will be retained, backed up, or recoverable, and we are not responsible for any loss, corruption, or inaccessibility of data, as described more fully in our Terms of Service. Stride is not a system of record — please keep your own copies of any health information that is important to you.
We share your information only as necessary to operate the app:
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information or health data to any third parties. We may also disclose information if required by law, to enforce our Terms, to protect rights or safety, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, sale of assets, or discontinuation of the app (in which case we will require any successor to honor this Policy or notify you of material changes).
Stride can send local push notifications for dose reminders, weigh-in reminders, and progress photo reminders. These are scheduled on your device and do not involve transmitting health data to our servers. You can enable or disable individual notification types in the app's Account tab, or turn all notifications off in iOS Settings.
Stride requests read access to Apple Health data to display relevant health context within the app. We do not write to Apple Health. Health data accessed through HealthKit is:
You can revoke Stride's access to Apple Health at any time in the iOS Health app under Sharing → Apps.
Stride includes an in-app conversational AI feature called the AI Companion. The Companion is intended to be a supportive, knowledgeable peer that can discuss your GLP-1 journey. It is not a medical provider, doctor, coach, or licensed professional, and its responses are not medical advice. Always talk to your doctor for clinical decisions.
What we send to the AI provider (Anthropic). When you send a message in the Companion chat, we send the following to Anthropic's Messages API so the model can respond with relevant context:
Anthropic processes this data as a sub-processor on our behalf to generate the AI's response. Under the commercial API terms that govern this relationship, Anthropic does not use your data to train their AI models. See Anthropic's Privacy Policy.
What we don't send. Before each message is sent we run a local screen for high-risk content (self-harm, suicidal ideation, similar). If matched, we do not call the AI. Instead the app shows a built-in safety response with crisis-hotline information, and an event is recorded in our product analytics noting only that the screen fired — never the text of your message.
How long we keep conversations. We store the raw text of your AI conversations in our database (Supabase) so the chat persists across devices and across app reinstalls. After 7 days, we summarize older messages into a compact "memory note" and delete the raw older messages. The memory note remains so the Companion can refer to past conversations naturally; you can delete it along with the rest of your data at any time via the account-deletion flow described in Section 9.
Internal review for quality. Members of the Stride team may review a sample of AI conversations strictly for the purpose of improving the quality, accuracy, and safety of the feature. We do not share conversation content with any third party other than our AI provider (Anthropic). We do not use your conversations to train AI models, ours or theirs.
Fair-use caps. The AI Companion is rate-limited per user per day to prevent abuse and contain costs. The caps in effect at any given time are reflected by in-app messaging and are described in our Terms of Service, Section 4.
Your controls. You can stop using the Companion at any time by not opening it. Deleting your account (Section 9) removes your conversations and memory note along with all other account data.
Photo food logging (image analysis). Stride includes an optional feature that estimates the nutrition of a meal from a photo. This is entirely user-initiated: nothing is analyzed unless you take or choose a photo and start the analysis. When you do, we send only the meal image to our vision AI provider, Google (Gemini API), so it can identify the foods and estimate their weight and macros. We do not send your name, email, account identifier, or any health logs with the image. Under the paid Gemini API terms, Google processes the image as a sub-processor on our behalf and does not use it to train their models. We do not store the meal image on our servers; it is used for that single analysis and then discarded. The returned nutrition estimate is AI-generated, may be inaccurate, and is always shown to you for review and editing before any food entry is saved. Photo food logging is rate-limited per user per day on the Basic tier; see our Terms of Service.
Your data is retained as long as your account is active. You can permanently delete your account and all associated data — including AI Companion conversations and memory note — by using the "Delete account" option in the app's Account tab. Deletion is irreversible and removes all your data from our servers within 30 days.
If you uninstall the app without deleting your account, your data remains stored so you can restore it when you reinstall.
Stride is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it promptly.
Depending on your location, you may have rights including:
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@strideglp1.com.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by updating the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, by sending an in-app notice. Continued use of Stride after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
