Terms of Use
Bodymap — training log
| Effective | 09/10/2026 |
| Applies to | the Bodymap mobile app and its shared food database |
The short version
- Training carries risk. You choose what you lift and how. Under a bench press or a squat, set the safety arms or have a spotter.
- Bodymap estimates; it does not advise. Calorie figures, targets and the energy balance are estimates for logging, not medical or dietary advice.
- The shared food database is written by the people who use it. What you add must be accurate, about food, and yours to share. You let us show it to everyone and keep it.
- We check what is added, and can correct or remove any food and stop an account adding more.
- Your log is yours. These terms give us nothing in your training log or food diary beyond what we need to store and sync it for you — see the Privacy Policy.

1. Agreeing to these terms
Bodymap is published by Thomas Harris, Thailand ("we"). By creating an account you agree to these terms. Before you add your first food to the shared food database, the app shows you that database's rules and asks you to agree to them as well — they are §5 below.
You need to be at least 13 to use Bodymap, or 16 where the law where you live sets that age. Weight-loss targets in the food diary are for adults only.
2. Your account
Keep your sign-in details to yourself; you are responsible for what is done with your account. Tell us at thomasharris0147@gmail.com if you think someone else has used it.
What you log is yours. We store it so that it can be backed up and synced as described in the Privacy Policy, and we use it for nothing else. You can export all of it, or delete it and the account, at any time.
3. Training carries risk
Lifting weights and training hard carry a real risk of injury, and a loaded bar that comes down on you can cause serious injury or death. Bodymap's instructions, plans and suggestions are general guidance written for everyone. They are not a coach watching you lift, and they are not a judgement of what is safe for you.
You choose what to lift, how heavy, and how to set it up. In particular:
- Under a bar that can pin you — the bench press, the squat and their variations — set the safety arms just below the lowest point the bar will reach, or have a spotter. With neither, stop every set short of failure.
- Check the equipment before you load it: the bench and rack are stable, anything adjustable is locked in place, and the plates are held on with collars.
- Stop if something hurts — sharp or joint pain, dizziness, chest pain, or breathlessness that is not normal for you — and get it checked before you train again.
- Talk to a doctor before you start if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure, an injury or operation that is still healing, if you are pregnant, or if you have not exercised for a long time.
If you are under 18, learn the barbell lifts with a coach or an experienced adult before you train them on your own.
4. Not medical advice
Every calorie figure in Bodymap — what a session burned, what a food holds, what a day comes to, the target the app suggests — is an estimate built from published averages and the numbers you give it. Real bodies differ from the averages, and labels round.
Bodymap is a log, not a doctor or a dietitian. Talk to one before changing how you eat if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have diabetes or another condition affected by food, take medication affected by what you eat, are under 18, or have ever had an eating disorder — and stop and get help if keeping a food diary starts to feel like it is controlling you rather than the other way round.
5. The shared food database
Any Bodymap user, on the free plan or Pro, can add a food that the database does not have. Other users can then find it, log it, and rely on its figures. These rules exist so that they can.
What you may add
- A real food, drink or dish, with its figures copied from the packet, the maker or the restaurant — or, for something home-made, worked out as honestly as you can.
- A barcode only for the product it is printed on.
What is not allowed
- Figures you know to be wrong, or a barcode attached to the wrong product.
- Copying entries out of another app's or website's database. Their databases are theirs; a single label you read yourself is fine, a list taken from someone else's service is not.
- Anything in a name or brand that is not about the food: insults, hate, sexual content, advertising, links, contact details, or anything unlawful.
- Adding foods automatically or in bulk, or anything meant to interfere with the database.
What you let us do with it
When you add a food you give us, and every Bodymap user, a free, permanent, worldwide permission to store it, show it, correct it, and use it in their food diaries. You keep whatever rights you had; you are only promising that the figures are not someone else's to withhold. Foods you add are shown without your name, and they stay in the database if you delete your account, so that the diaries they are logged in still read correctly.
Moderation
We check what is added after it appears, and we may correct or remove any food at any time, without notice. If an account adds things that break these rules, we may remove everything it has added and stop it adding more. If something you added is removed, entries you already logged from it are not affected.
Reporting and hiding
Every food a user added has a Report button: use it for wrong figures, anything offensive, or duplicates. You can also hide any such food from your own searches. Reports go to us and nobody else.
6. Where the food data comes from
Bodymap's food database combines reference data from USDA FoodData Central (public domain), foods added by Bodymap users, and — when you scan a barcode we do not have — a live lookup on Open Food Facts, an open database published under the Open Database Licence. Open Food Facts data is shown with that credit and is not copied into our database. If a figure from Open Food Facts is wrong, it is corrected on Open Food Facts itself, where the fix reaches everyone.
None of these sources is guaranteed complete or correct, and neither are we.
7. Bodymap Pro
Bodymap Pro is a subscription sold through Google Play, which handles payment, renewal, cancellation and refunds under its own terms. It renews until you cancel it in the Play Store. Deleting your Bodymap account does not cancel it. The free plan stays a complete training log and food diary.
8. Responsibility
We work to keep Bodymap running and your log safe, but we provide it as it is and cannot promise it will always be available or free of mistakes. As far as the law allows, we are not responsible for decisions made on the strength of an estimate in the app, for figures other users added, or for losses that come from the app being unavailable.
Nothing in these terms limits responsibility that the law does not allow to be limited — for death or injury caused by negligence, for fraud — or takes away rights you have as a consumer where you live.
9. Ending
You can stop at any time: Profile → Delete account removes the account and everything logged in it, as the Privacy Policy describes. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, and will say why unless the law prevents it.
10. Changes, law and contact
If these terms change in a way that matters, we will update the date at the top and tell you in the app before the change takes effect; if the database rules change, the app will ask you to agree to them again before you next add a food.
These terms are governed by the law of Thailand, without taking away the protection of the consumer law of the country you live in.
