Privacy notice and terms

The short version

• Koach stores what you tell itso it can coach you: your profile, your logs, and notes about you.
• Your messages are read by an AI service(Anthropic) to understand them and write replies.
• Nobody else sees your data unless you share itwith a professional yourself. It isn't sold.
• You can delete everythingat any time by sending /delete_me.
• Koach is not a doctorand is an early test version.

What Koach stores

• Your Telegram account id and languageto know who is writing. Your first name and last initial are stored only if you share with a professional or register as one.
• Your profileSex, age, height, weight, activity level, timezone, units, quiet day, interests, and your calorie and protein targets.
• Your logsFood, weight, resting pulse, workouts, medication doses, cold plunges and saunas, pain and symptoms, and blood test values you enter.
• Your training program and check-in times.
• Notes the coach keeps about youLasting facts you tell it, such as an injury or a food you avoid. Send /memory to see or clear them.
• Sharing recordsWho you share with, what you ticked, and instructions a professional gave you.

Koach does not keep a transcript of your chat. The last few exchanges with the coach are held in memory so follow-up questions make sense, and are lost when the service restarts. Photos and PDFs of lab reports are read and then discarded; only the values are kept.

Where your information goes

• Telegramcarries every message between you and Koach. Chats with bots are not end-to-end encrypted. Telegram's own privacy policy applies to that.
• Our serverstores the data described above. It is located in the United States.
• Anthropicprovides the AI. The text of your messages, lab report images you send, and the profile and log details needed to answer you are sent to Anthropic's service to be processed, under its commercial terms.
• Professionals you chooseIf you send /share with someone's code, they receive the categories you tick, as a weekly summary and as alerts. Koach does not verify that a person is who they say they are. Send /sharing to see, preview or stop this.

Your data is not sold, and is not used to target advertising. If that ever changes, it will be opt-in and this page will say so first.

How long it is kept, and deleting it

• Until you delete it.Send /delete_me and confirm. Your profile, logs, notes, program and sharing records are removed from the database straight away.
• BackupsA nightly backup is kept for 14 days, so deleted data can remain in backups for up to 14 days before it is gone.
• Your chatThe messages on your phone and on Telegram's servers are yours to clear in the Telegram app. Koach cannot delete them.
