Privacy policy
The short version: we keep only what bimbo needs to work for you. We never sell your data, we do not show ads, and we do not use third-party tracking or advertising tools.
This policy explains how TODO: legal entity name ("bimbo", "we", "us") handles personal information when you use the bimbo iPhone app and the bimbo.fit website. We are based in British Columbia, Canada, and follow British Columbia's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) and, where it applies, Canada's PIPEDA.
What we collect and why
| Information | Why we use it |
|---|---|
| Account info: your name, email address and sign-in details. | To create your account, sign you in, and contact you about your account. |
| Calendar events from calendars you choose to connect (for example Google Calendar or Outlook). | To show your shifts in one place and warn you about double-bookings. We only read calendars you connect, and you can disconnect at any time. |
| Shift emails you forward to your personal bimbo forwarding address. | To read the shift details (studio, date, time) and add them to your calendar and invoices. We only receive emails you choose to forward. We never access your inbox. |
| Receipt and routine photos you take or choose. | To turn them into a readable receipt record or workout. The text is read on your iPhone using Apple's on-device tools, not on our servers. The photo and the result are stored in your account so they sync to your devices. |
| Location and distance, only while a trip you started is running. | To log kilometres and estimate fuel for your mileage records. Location is not collected when no trip is running. You can turn off location access in iOS Settings at any time. |
| Documents you upload (for example certificates, contracts, business registration). | To store them for you and remind you about expiry dates. |
| Business details you enter: studios, pay rates, shifts, invoices, car type. | To build invoices, tax set-aside estimates and mileage records. |
| Support messages you send us. | To help you. |
The bimbo.fit website does not use cookies, analytics or trackers. Our web host may keep standard server logs (such as IP address and pages requested) for security.

Google and Microsoft data
If you connect a Google or Microsoft calendar, we request read access to calendar events only. bimbo's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We use this data only to provide bimbo's calendar features to you, we do not use it for advertising, and we do not let people read it except with your permission, for security, or where the law requires.
Who helps us run bimbo
We use a small number of service providers to host and run the app. They process data only on our instructions and only to provide their service:
- Database, sign-in and file storage provider. TODO: name provider and data region
- Inbound email provider for forwarding addresses. TODO: name provider
- Website host. TODO: name host
- Apple, for the App Store, in-app purchases and push notifications. We never see your card details.
Some providers may store data outside British Columbia or Canada, for example in the United States, where it may be subject to local laws.
We may also disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect the safety of people or our service.
How long we keep it
We keep your information while your account is open. If you delete something in the app, we delete it from our systems. When you delete your account, we delete your data within TODO: number days, except backups, which expire within TODO: number days, and anything the law requires us to keep.
Keeping it safe
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest with our providers, and access is limited to what each part of bimbo needs. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a strong password and tell us right away if you think your account has been compromised.
Your choices and rights
- See, correct or export the information we hold about you.
- Disconnect a calendar, stop forwarding emails, or turn off location at any time.
- Delete individual items or your whole account in the app under Settings.
- Withdraw consent, or complain to us or to the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for British Columbia.
