Privacy Policy

1. Who we are and what this covers

Human Quest LLC is the company responsible for your information (the “controller”, in European terms). You can reach us at info@humanquest.net.

This policy covers the Inversion Quest apps and inversion.quest. Inversion Quest shares its sign-in, and the Google Firebase project behind it, with Handstand Quest, our earlier handstand app, which Human Quest also runs. Handstand Quest has its own privacy policy. This policy covers Handstand Quest data only where Inversion Quest reads it, at your request, to bring your history over (section 6).

2. How the app handles data

Inversion Quest is built to work on your phone first. There are three situations:

• Without an account. Everything you record is kept in the app’s storage on your phone. Your practice doesn’t leave the phone unless you share or export it yourself. The app still connects to Google Firebase for crash reports, diagnostics and feature settings (sections 3.9 and 3.10), loads exercise videos and images (section 3.11), and, when your phone can’t recognize speech on the device, uses Apple’s or Google’s speech service for voice commands (section 5).
• With an account. Everything is still saved on your phone first, then copied to our cloud database so you can restore it and use it on more than one device. When you first sign in, what you recorded before signing in is uploaded to that account. If the phone holds another account’s data, the app clears it instead of uploading it.
• AI coach features. These work only when you are signed in and explicitly enable AI coaching. Before sharing with OpenAI, the app explains what is sent (section 4). You can turn AI coaching off in You while keeping cloud backup and sync.

3. What we collect and why

Each card below lists one kind of information. “Our database” means Cloud Firestore, run for us by Google Firebase in the United States.

4. AI coach features

Some Inversion Quest features use AI. They need you to be signed in, and some may not be available in your version of the app yet. This is how they work when they are.

Depending on the feature, a request can also carry context: your first name, your training profile (including any physical limitations), up to 30 recent sessions, your records, streak and current target, skill and exercise names (including exercises you created), and up to ten of your own voice words.

Where it goes

Requests go to our server functions on Google Cloud in the United States, with a sign-in token that proves they come from your account. The server checks the token, counts the request against your daily allowance, and sends what the feature needs to OpenAI to write the answer and, for spoken lines, the audio. The server does not pass your user ID or email address to OpenAI and does not store what you sent or what came back. It keeps only daily request counts under a pseudonymous key (a one-way hash of your user ID), and error logs that contain no content. Google Cloud may also keep standard request logs, such as the time, your IP address and the response status.

OpenAI processes this content to provide the feature. Under OpenAI’s API terms, content sent through its API is not used to train OpenAI’s models by default, and OpenAI may keep it for up to 30 days to detect abuse, unless the law requires it to keep it longer. Human Quest does not use your content to train AI models.

What is kept, and where

• Coach chat stays on your phone. You can clear the conversation at any time.
• The Coach’s take is saved on your phone with the session.
• Workouts and plans you save are kept in your account (3.4).
• Every form review you ask for is saved to your account when it arrives, and its summary is added to that attempt in your practice history (3.3 and 3.4).
• Spoken coach lines are cached on your phone, up to 50 MB.

When the app asks without a tap

Two features can send a request without you tapping anything, and only while you are signed in and have enabled AI coaching:

• when you set a new personal best, the app asks for a Coach’s take, at most once a day;
• once we switch personal coach lines on, the app prepares them a few seconds after you open a session setup or a workout.

Every other AI request starts only when you ask for it. AI coaching is off until you explicitly allow sharing with OpenAI. Turn it off in You to stop new AI requests, including automatic requests; a request already sent may finish. Signing out or deleting local data clears this permission on that device.

The studio coach voice

The studio coach voice is AI-generated. Its phrases were recorded in advance and ship inside the app, so playing them sends nothing anywhere. If you choose one of your phone’s voices instead, your phone’s own text-to-speech engine speaks the cues.

AI answers can be wrong. They are not medical or professional advice; see the health and safety section of our Terms.

5. Voice commands and speech

• During a session the app listens through the microphone for commands such as “go” and “stop”. It needs microphone access, and on iPhone speech recognition access.
• On iPhone, if you switch to another app or lock the screen before the session ends, the microphone can keep listening until you end the session or close it; iPhone shows its microphone indicator while it does. On Android, listening pauses while the app is in the background.
• iPhone: the app uses Apple’s speech recognition in US English and asks for on-device recognition. If your iPhone can’t recognize speech on the device, Apple’s servers process the audio, under Apple’s privacy policy.
• Android: the app uses your phone’s on-device recognizer when one is available. Otherwise, or if on-device recognition keeps failing, it uses your phone’s speech service, usually Google’s, which may process the audio on its servers.
• To hear commands reliably, the app gives the recognizer its list of command words, including your own start and stop words.
• The app never records, stores or sends your audio to us. Transcripts are used only to act on commands; for Ask Coach, the question text is sent as described in section 4. Clips are recorded without sound.

6. Bringing over your Handstand Quest history

• This happens only if you choose it: on the welcome screen (“I use Handstand Quest”) or under You, “Bring your Handstand Quest history”, signed in with the account you use for Handstand Quest.
• The app reads your Handstand Quest data from our database: your Handstand Quest profile and practice log, records, settings, habits, goals, custom exercises and workouts. It shows you a preview first and copies nothing until you tap “Bring it over”.
• Copied into Inversion Quest: practice days and sessions, records, habits (as practice times), goals, favorites, custom exercises, your training profile including any physical limitations, your Handstand Quest coach profile, daily goal, completed workouts, your voice words and countdown setting, your name and photo if Inversion Quest doesn’t have them yet, and whether your Handstand Quest account had a paid unlock (stored as a note only; it doesn’t unlock anything).
• Read but not copied: email address, phone number, location, Instagram handle, pronouns, bio, birth date, sex, height, weight, member-since and last-active dates, whether you were a coach, device and app diagnostics (device model, app version, speech-recognition support and notes), and the details of your purchases. The phone reads them during the import and discards them, though the database’s offline cache on your phone can keep a copy until you uninstall.
• Handstand Quest photos and videos are not copied. Your Handstand Quest data is not changed.

7. Who receives your data

We share information only with the providers who run parts of the service for us, and where you choose to share.

Every provider that processes personal information for us is bound by contract, through its data processing terms, to use it only to provide its service to us and to protect it at least as well as this policy describes. Handstand Quest, our related app, is run by Human Quest under the same standards. Apple and Google handle speech recognition and sign-in under their own privacy policies.

We may also disclose information when the law requires it, to protect the safety, rights or property of our users, the public or Human Quest, or as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, with this policy continuing to apply to it.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising or targeted advertising. The app shows no ads and does not track you across other companies’ apps or websites.

8. Purchases

Inversion Quest has no in-app purchases or subscriptions today. If we add them, Apple or Google will handle payment; we would receive the purchase status, not your card details, and we will update this policy first. Our database can hold a flag showing whether your account has paid features; only our servers can set it.

9. Legal bases (EEA, UK and Switzerland)

• Performing our contract with you: your account, backup and sync, the practice features, AI features you use, and the Handstand Quest import you ask for.
• Our legitimate interests in keeping the app working, reliable and secure (crash reports, voice diagnostics, feature switches, usage limits, and server and website logs) and in telling account holders about our apps by email (3.15). You can object to these, and unsubscribe from our emails at any time.
• Your consent: AI sharing with OpenAI, camera, microphone, speech recognition and notification access, which your phone asks for and you can withdraw in its settings.
• Health information. Physical limitations and injuries are health data. They reach Inversion Quest only if you choose to bring over your Handstand Quest history, and we use them only to tailor the coaching you ask for, including in AI requests. The app does not yet ask for a separate consent for them. If you don’t want them used, don’t bring your history over, or delete your Inversion Quest data (section 11).
• Legal obligations: answering privacy requests and keeping the records the law requires.

Your targets and AI suggestions are produced automatically, but they have no legal or similarly significant effect on you. You don’t have to give us any information; without an account the app works on your phone only, and without a permission the feature that needs it is off.

10. How long we keep data

Your phone’s own backups (iCloud, or Google’s Android backup) can include the app’s data and your clips. Those backups are controlled by you and by Apple or Google. Deleted data can also remain in our providers’ backup systems for up to 180 days before it is erased.

11. Deleting and exporting your data

• Delete your data or your account in the app under You, Your data, Delete account. Full steps, what is deleted and what may be kept are on our account deletion page.
• Export your data under You, Your data, Export my data: a JSON file of your sessions, practice times, goals, custom exercises, workouts, plans, form reviews and profile, sent wherever you choose through the share menu. Coach chat, clips and settings aren’t included.
• Delete one thing: a session (open it, then Delete session), a practice time, or the coach conversation (Clear this conversation). Some clip files stay on the phone after a single deletion (3.6).

12. Your rights

Wherever you live, you can see and export your data in the app, correct your training profile, delete your data or your account, and withdraw camera, microphone, speech and notification access in your phone’s settings.

In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland you also have the right to access, correct, erase, restrict and port your data, to object to processing based on legitimate interests, to withdraw consent at any time, and to complain to your data protection authority (in the UK, the Information Commissioner’s Office).

To make a request, email info@humanquest.net from the email address on your account. We may ask you to confirm the request from that address before we act on it; we will never ask for your password. We answer within one month (EEA and UK) or 45 days (US states), and tell you if we need longer where the law allows.

13. US state privacy notice

This section is for residents of California and other US states with consumer privacy laws. In the last 12 months we have collected these categories of personal information, from you, your phone and, if you sign in with them, Apple or Google:

We collect and use these for the purposes in sections 3 and 4, disclose them only to the service providers in section 7, and keep them as described in section 10. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, and we don’t use it for targeted advertising or for profiling that has legal or similarly significant effects. We use sensitive personal information only to provide the service you ask for, so there is nothing to limit.

You have the right to know and access, delete, correct and port your personal information, and not to be discriminated against for using these rights. You can use an authorized agent; we may ask for proof of their authority and confirm the request with you. We honor Global Privacy Control signals, although there is no sale or sharing for them to stop. If we decline a request, you can appeal by replying to our answer; if you are not satisfied, you can contact your state attorney general.

Consumer health data. Physical limitations and similar training details may be consumer health data under laws such as Washington’s My Health My Data Act. We use them only to provide the features you use, we don’t sell them, and we share them only with the providers in section 7. Our Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy explains what we collect and how to use your rights.

14. Children

Inversion Quest is not directed to children under 13, or the higher minimum age in their country, and we don’t knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has given us personal information, email info@humanquest.net and we will delete it. Teenagers should practice inversions only with a parent’s or guardian’s permission and supervision (see our Terms).

15. Security

We protect your information with encryption in transit, sign-in through Firebase Authentication, AI requests accepted only from signed-in accounts within daily limits, and AI servers that can reach only what they need. Google encrypts data it stores for us. No system is perfectly secure; if you think someone has accessed your account, email info@humanquest.net.

16. International transfers

Human Quest is based in the United States. Our database is in a United States multi-region, our AI server runs in the central United States, and our providers may process data in other countries. When data moves from the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, we rely on safeguards such as the standard contractual clauses in our providers’ data processing terms, or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and its UK and Swiss extensions where a provider is certified.

17. Changes to this policy

When we change this policy we will post the new version here with its effective date. If a change is material, we will also tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect.
