Your info and Ape-X

For users under 18 · Last updated 23 September 2026

Ape-X is made by a small UK company called Yocloud Limited. This page tells you what we know about you, why, and what you can do about it. If any of it is confusing, ask a parent or carer to read it with you, or email us.

This is the short version. The full privacy policy says the same things in more detail.

You have to be old enough

You must be at least 13 to use Ape-X. In some countries the age is 14, 15 or 16, and the app checks this using your phone's country setting. We ask for your date of birth once, when you sign up. Please tell the truth. We use your age to keep your calorie targets at a safe level, so a fake age can give you numbers that are wrong for your body.

What we keep

• Your email and the name you pick.
• Your date of birth and your country.
• What you tell us about your body and goals: height, weight, sex, the goal you chose, any injuries, foods you avoid.
• What you log: workouts, sets and reps, bodyweight, food, sleep, soreness, stress, days off, and any notes you type.
• Messages you send us through the feedback box.
• How many AI food lookups you've done today, so the daily limit works.

Some of this is health information. The law treats that as extra private, so we ask you to tick a box at sign-up to say it's OK for us to store it. You can change your mind by deleting your account.

Photos

If you scan a meal with the camera, the photo goes through our server to an AI that works out what the food is. Before it goes, we remove the hidden information inside the photo (like where it was taken). We don't keep the photo, only the food it found.

What we don't keep

No GPS location. No contacts. No card details. We don't show adverts and we don't sell your information to anyone.

Why we need it

To build your training plan, work out your calorie and macro targets, and show your progress. Every question in the app feeds one of those.

If you're under 18, the app works out your targets more carefully. It won't set a target below what your body needs at rest, and if you're under 16 it keeps any calorie cut small. When one of these rules changes your number, the app tells you: "Your target is kept at a safe level for your age." If you type in your own target, the app uses your number as it is, so check it with a parent, coach or GP first.

The numbers in Ape-X are estimates. They aren't medical advice.

Who else sees it

Other Ape-X users can't see anything about you. There's no feed and no leaderboard.

A few companies help us run the app. Supabase stores the data on servers in London. When you look up a restaurant meal or a branded food, we first check free food databases (Open Food Facts, and a US one called USDA for plain foods). If they don't have it, the name of the restaurant and the dish is sent to an AI company in the United States called Anthropic, which may search the web and sends back an estimate. Your name and email aren't part of that. Expo delivers app updates, and Apple or Google gave you the app.

How long we keep it

For as long as you have an account. If you don't sign in for two years, we'll email you, and then delete the account.

What you can do

Delete everything: open Profile, scroll to Danger Zone, tap Delete account. Your workouts, food logs, plan and feedback are wiped straight away and can't be brought back.

If you joined the waiting list or the tester list on our website, that email is kept separately. Email us and we'll remove it.

You can also email us to get a copy of your information, or to fix something that's wrong. Your date of birth can't be changed inside the app, so if you made a mistake, email us and we'll correct it.

If you think we've handled your information badly, tell us first. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk. A parent or carer can do this with you.
