5. AI Services and Automated Processing
We use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to help generate:
Personalised workout plans
Training recommendations
Food and calorie information
Nutrition guidance
When you use these features, information you provide (such as fitness goals, injuries, preferences, training history, dietary or food input or requirements) may be processed by our AI provider to generate your plans. AI-generated recommendations are produced automatically based on the information you provide. They are not reviewed by a qualified trainer, dietitian or health professional before being presented to you.
Disclaimers
Providing workout, nutrition or health information is optional. However, choosing not to provide certain information may limit the functionality or personalisation available within the app.
AI outputs may contain inaccuracies or omissions.
AI outputs are general fitness and nutrition guidance only.
AI outputs are not medical advice.
You should consult a qualified health professional before starting any new exercise or nutrition program.
Users remain responsible for determining whether any exercise program or nutrition guidance is appropriate for their individual circumstances. Before acting on AI-generated recommendations, users should consider their own medical history, physical condition, allergies and dietary requirements, and seek professional advice where appropriate.
AI Providers
To deliver certain app features, including nutrition tracking and AI-generated workout or nutrition plans, we disclose limited information to third-party service providers. They may use your information for the purpose of delivering the relevant feature you have chosen to use. They may not use your information for marketing, training, or any unrelated purpose. See also Schedule 1.
Profiling
Profiling involves analysing your workout history, nutrition information and stated goals to generate personalised recommendations. The app may analyse your workout and nutrition history to provide personalised guidance. Profiling is only used to improve your training experience and is not used for marketing.
We may analyse aggregated or de-identified workout, nutrition and usage information to improve our products, develop new features and better understand how members use our services. This information will not identify you personally.
6. Overseas disclosure
Some of our third-party service providers (including AI and workout or nutrition database providers) may be located outside Australia (for example, in the US, EU, or Asia).
If we transfer your information overseas, we take reasonable steps to ensure that the recipient complies with Australian privacy standards or equivalent safeguards.
7. Storage and security
We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure.
This includes:
Using secure, encrypted platforms for data storage and communication
Limiting access to authorised personnel only
Regularly reviewing data protection practices and third-party compliance
If your information is no longer needed for any lawful purpose, we will take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify it.
Health and nutrition data collected through the app is stored securely and separately from general account information. AI-related data (AI prompts, AI outputs and workout or nutrition records) is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to generate your workout plan and maintain service functionality (e.g. resolve support issues, meet legal obligations or protect our legitimate interests).
You may opt out of nutrition tracking or AI workout generation at any time.
8. Accessing or correcting your personal information
You may request access to, or correction of, your personal information at any time by contacting us. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and may require proof of identity before releasing information. If we are unable to meet your request (for example, due to legal obligations), we will explain why.
You may request export of your Housed-stored data and/or deletion of your nutrition logs, workout history, or AI-generated training or nutrition data at any time.
9. Marketing communications and SMS
When you provide your contact details, where permitted by law, where you have consented and/or it is otherwise permitted under the Spam Act 2003 (Cth), you may automatically be opted in to receive communications from Housed via:
Email (newsletters, offers, updates)
SMS or MMS (class reminders, promotions, or member updates)
Push notifications or other digital marketing channels
Any other channel for marketing purposes
You may opt out at any time by:

Replying "STOP" to an SMS
Adjusting notification settings in your account or app

We may also use limited personal information (such as your email address) with social media platforms for legitimate advertising purposes. These platforms manage your data according to their own privacy policies.
We will never share your health or sensitive information for marketing purposes. We will never use your nutrition data, workout history, or AI-related information for marketing purposes.
