Privacy-First Weight-Loss App Checklist
A trust checklist for reviewing privacy and support boundaries before using a weight-loss app.
Privacy checklist
- Can you find the privacy policy before entering sensitive information?
- Does the policy explain what health, weight, fitness, and usage data are collected?
- Does it say whether personal data is sold or shared with advertisers?
- Can you find account deletion and data-rights wording?
- Is subscription cancellation handled clearly through the platform when relevant?
- Does the app avoid clinical-result claims and extreme-result language?
Thinner-specific notes
Thinner's Privacy Policy says personal data is not sold and weight logs are not shared with advertisers.
The support page says account deletion is separate from canceling an active Apple subscription.
