Your data is yours: what that means in practice

"Your data is yours" means, concretely, that every tracker you've logged in GLPath can be exported in full at any time, bundled entirely through Takeout, or permanently deleted along with your account — and that nothing you log is ever shared with anyone else, because GLPath has no sharing feature at all. This isn't a policy statement sitting apart from the product; it's built directly into what the export and delete buttons actually do.

What can you export, and does it cost anything?

Every tracker — weight, doses, meals, side effects, measurements, and more — exports as a CSV file for free, on every account, with no limit on how far back the history goes. A standard PDF report is free too, useful for handing a clean printout to a clinician. Plus adds an Excel (.xlsx) export and custom date-range PDF presets, but nothing about the free exports is a stripped-down preview — they're the same underlying rows you'd see on your own dashboard.

What does Takeout give you?

Takeout builds a single zip file containing every row you've ever logged across every tracker, gathered into one download rather than pieced together tracker by tracker. It's meant for the moments export-by-export doesn't cover — moving your records to another app entirely, or just wanting a complete backup that lives outside GLPath. The your-data-rights guide walks through exactly what's in that file and how to generate it.

What happens when you delete your account?

Deleting your account removes your data from the live database immediately — it doesn't sit in some deactivated state that a support request could reactivate. The one exception is short-lived backups, which exist purely for recovering from operational mistakes and expire on a fixed schedule, currently up to 14 days, after which nothing of yours remains anywhere. That's the actual mechanism behind "erasure," not a vague promise — the Privacy Policy documents the specific retention window.

Why is there no sharing feature at all?

GLPath deliberately has no built-in way to send your data to anyone — not a clinician, not a family member, not another user. If you want someone else to see what you've logged, you export a PDF or CSV yourself and hand it over on your own terms; nothing leaves your account any other way. That's a narrower feature set than some tracking apps offer, and it's intentional: the fewer places your health data can flow to automatically, the fewer things there are to get wrong.

How does this compare to what other GLP-1 apps offer?

Real export formats, a documented deletion timeline, and no sharing feature by default are worth checking for in any GLP-1 tracking app, not only this one — the choosing a tracking app guide covers the fuller checklist, including privacy, phase-awareness, and pricing transparency, without naming or ranking any specific alternative.

What does all this actually add up to?

A tracking app is only worth trusting with health data if leaving it doesn't mean losing your own history, and if staying with it doesn't mean your data ends up somewhere you didn't choose. CSV, Excel, PDF, Takeout, and a real deletion timeline aren't compliance boxes bolted onto GLPath after the fact — they're the same underlying rows you log every day, just handed back to you in whatever form you actually need them in.
