Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Zach Edwards LLC ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use Aethon Fuel (the "App") and related services.

1. Information We Collect

• Account and authentication information: We may collect your email address and internal account identifiers to authenticate you, keep your account connected across sessions, and restore access to your data.
• Nutrition, fitness, and progress data: We may collect meal logs, calorie and macro entries, body weight entries, goals, workout or fitness-related information, and other progress data you choose to store in the App.
• User content: We may collect text you submit, such as meal descriptions, goals, notes, prompts, and coaching messages.

These permissions are optional and can be disabled in your device settings.

3. AI Processing
