Privacy Policy

Version:2026-07-v1  · Effective date:1 August 2026  · Controller: Pace and Motion Limited

The short version: PAMO runs on health data. We collect it to run your fitness targets, AI coaching and squad features. We don't sell it, share it beyond the processors listed here, or use it for advertising. You can export or delete everything from Settings at any time.

1. Who we are

PAMO is a trading name of Pace and Motion Limited, a company registered in England and Wales. We are the data controller responsible for your personal data.

Contact: privacy@wearepamo.com
Address: Alcock House, 99 Chapel Street, Salford, Lancashire, M3 5EH

We are registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) under registration number [INSERT ONCE OBTAINED].

2. What data we collect and why

We collect the minimum data needed to provide the service. Here is every category, why we collect it, and the legal basis under UK GDPR:

Consent recordsAudit log of what you consented to and whenLegal obligation (Art 6(1)(c) / Art 7)

We do not collect data we do not need. We do not use your data for advertising. We do not sell your data to any third party.

3. Health data — special category processing

Weight, body measurements, workout logs, meal logs, progress photos and synced device health data are special category data under Article 9 of the UK GDPR. We process this data only on the basis of your explicit consent, given when you set up your account.

You can withdraw consent at any time by going to Settings → Your data → Withdraw health data consent. Withdrawal will prevent further processing; it does not make past processing unlawful. If you withdraw consent, core features of PAMO will no longer function and we will prompt you to delete your account or keep a basic account without health features.

4. AI coaching — how your data reaches Anthropic

PAMO's AI coaching feature is powered by Claude, made by Anthropic. When you use the Coach feature, relevant data from your account — including recent workout logs, meal summaries, weight history and your stated goal — is sent to Anthropic's API to generate your coaching response.

  • Anthropic processes this data as our data processor, under a Data Processing Agreement.
  • Anthropic does not use your data to train its models (we use the API with zero-retention settings where available).
  • Data is transferred to Anthropic's infrastructure in the United States under appropriate transfer safeguards.
  • The AI coach is not a medical professional and does not provide medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider for medical or nutritional guidance.

5. Who we share your data with

We share your data only with the processors listed below, all under written Data Processing Agreements:

AnthropicAI coachingUnited StatesStandard Contractual Clauses (IDTA)

We do not share your data with any other third parties, including advertisers, data brokers, or analytics companies.

6. Squad visibility — what other users can see

PAMO is a social product. Understanding what other squad members can see is important:

  • Squad feed: Workout posts and meal posts you share appear to members of your squad.
  • Leaderboard: Your name, avatar and weekly points are visible to all squad members.
  • Progress photos: Private by default. Never shared with the squad unless you explicitly post them.
  • Weight and measurements: Never shown to other users. Used only for your own targets and AI coaching.
  • Discover (public squads): If you create or join a public squad, the squad name and member count are visible to nearby users who have Discover enabled. Your profile is not individually surfaced without your action.

7. Data retention

We keep your data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account:

  • Your profile, health logs, meal entries, weight logs and progress photos are permanently deleted within 30 days.
  • Your name on past squad activity and leaderboard history is replaced with "Deleted user" — this anonymised record is retained so squad histories remain coherent.
  • Payment records are retained for 7 years as required by UK financial record-keeping law.
  • Consent records are retained for 3 years after account closure as evidence of the lawful basis for processing.
  • Supabase backups containing your data expire on their normal rotation cycle (typically 7–30 days depending on plan) without special intervention.

Accounts with no login activity for 3 years will receive a notice email. If no response is received within 30 days, the account and associated health data will be deleted.

8. Your rights

Under UK GDPR you have the following rights:

  • Access and portability: Export a copy of all your data from Settings → Your data → Download my data. We'll provide it within 24 hours as a JSON file including signed links to your photos.
  • Erasure ("right to be forgotten"): Delete your account and all health data from Settings → Your data → Delete my account. Completed within 30 days.
  • Rectification: Edit your profile and health data at any time within the app.
  • Restriction and objection: Email privacy@wearepamo.com to restrict or object to specific processing.
  • Withdraw consent: For health data or marketing emails, withdraw at any time in Settings. Withdrawal is effective immediately.
  • Complaint: You have the right to complain to the ICO at ico.org.uk or by calling 0303 123 1113.

We will respond to all rights requests within one calendar month.

9. Cookies and local storage

PAMO uses only strictly necessary cookies and local storage to maintain your login session. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels or third-party analytics scripts. No cookie consent banner is required as a result.

10. Children

PAMO is intended for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you become aware that a minor has created an account, please contact us at privacy@wearepamo.com and we will delete the account promptly.

11. Security

We protect your data using industry-standard measures: all data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest; database access is controlled by row-level security policies so each user can only access their own data; progress photos are stored in private buckets inaccessible without a signed URL; and access to the production database is restricted to named personnel.

In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in high risk to your rights, we will notify you without undue delay and report to the ICO within 72 hours of becoming aware, as required by UK GDPR Article 33.

12. Changes to this policy

If we make material changes to how we process your personal data — particularly special category health data — we will notify you in the app and ask for fresh consent before the change takes effect. The policy version number and effective date at the top of this document will be updated. Non-material changes (wording, formatting) will be published without notice.

13. Contact

For any privacy question or to exercise your rights:
Email: privacy@wearepamo.com
Post: Pace and Motion Limited, [REGISTERED ADDRESS]

We aim to respond within 5 working days and will always respond within the statutory one-month limit.
