ArmyReady is built by someone who values honesty — in uniform and out of it. This policy tells you exactly what data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and how you can control it. We don't hide anything in fine print. Read it.
1. Who We Are
ArmyReady ("we," "us," or "our") is an AI-powered readiness and career application developed and operated by Ready Apps LLC (Ben Masek, Founder), doing business as ArmyReady (armyready.ai). Our contact email is founder@sofready.ai.

3. How We Use Your Information
We use your data for the following purposes:
- To generate your personalized training program — your fitness data is sent to Anthropic's Claude AI to produce a program specific to your goal and current ability
- To answer your regulation and career questions — the information you enter is sent to Anthropic's Claude AI to generate plain-English answers and explanations
- To display your progress — workout history, benchmark scores, and progress photos are stored and shown back to you
- To improve the app — anonymous usage data helps us understand which features work and which don't
- To process your subscription — RevenueCat manages subscription status on our behalf
- To communicate with you — important updates, support responses, and (if you opt in) marketing emails
- To comply with legal obligations — we keep records as required by applicable law
We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your data for advertising targeting. We do not share your fitness, career, or personal data with third parties except as described in Section 4.
4. Third-Party Services
ArmyReady uses the following third-party services. Each has its own privacy policy:
- Google Firebase — authentication, database (Firestore), file storage, analytics, and crash reporting. Firebase Privacy Policy
- Anthropic (Claude AI) — your fitness and career profile data is sent to Anthropic's API to generate your training program and regulation answers. Anthropic does not use API inputs to train their models. Anthropic Privacy Policy
- RevenueCat — manages in-app subscription status. RevenueCat Privacy Policy
- Apple App Store / Google Play — processes all payments. Apple's and Google's privacy practices govern payment data.
We do not share your data with any other third parties without your explicit consent.
5. Health, Fitness, and Career Data
ArmyReady collects fitness-related information (body weight, ACFT scores, workout performance, progress photos) and career-related information (rank, MOS, awards, evaluations). This information is sensitive and we treat it as such:
- Your data is stored in Firebase Firestore with security rules that only allow you to access your own data
- Progress photos are stored in Firebase Storage in a private folder accessible only to your authenticated account
- We do not integrate with Apple Health or HealthKit — your ArmyReady data stays in ArmyReady
- Data sent to Anthropic's API for program generation or regulation answers is processed in real time and not stored by Anthropic for model training
- ArmyReady is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated on behalf of the U.S. Army or the Department of Defense. Information about regulations, promotion points, and similar topics is provided for general informational purposes only — see our Terms of Service for full details
6. Data Retention
We retain your data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account:
- Your profile, workout history, career data, benchmark scores, and progress photos are permanently deleted within 30 days
- Anonymous, aggregated usage analytics may be retained (these cannot identify you)
- We may retain records required by law for up to 7 years (e.g., transaction records)
7. Your Rights and Controls
You have the following rights over your data:
- Access — request a copy of the data we hold about you
