SportPlatform Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how SportPlatform ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects personal data when you use our services, including our website, web application, and integrations with third-party platforms such as Strava and, in the future, Garmin.

By creating an account or using SportPlatform, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Data We Collect

We may collect the following categories of data:

• Account information: name, email address, and password (stored securely as a hash).
• Profile and training information: sport preferences, training groups, goals, and participation in events or challenges.
• Activity data from third parties: when you connect accounts such as Strava (and, in the future, Garmin), we may receive activity details, including distance, duration, pace, elevation, heart rate, and related metrics.
• Usage and technical data: device information, approximate location (based on IP), and log data related to how you interact with our platform.

2. How We Use Your Data

We use the data we collect to:

• Create and manage your SportPlatform account.
• Display dashboards, metrics, and performance trends related to your training.
• Enable your participation in training groups, events, and community challenges.
• Provide customer support and communicate important updates about the platform.
• Improve our services, features, and user experience through aggregated and anonymized analysis.

3. Third-Party Integrations (Strava and Garmin)

SportPlatform allows you to connect your account to third-party services, such as Strava and, in the future, Garmin. When you authorize these integrations:

• We receive activity and performance data from your connected account in accordance with the permissions you grant.
• We use this data only to provide SportPlatform features, such as dashboards, statistics, and training insights.
• You can revoke access at any time from the third-party service (e.g., in your Strava or Garmin account settings).

SportPlatform is not owned or controlled by Strava, Garmin, or any other third-party provider, and their use of your data is governed by their own privacy policies.

4. Legal Basis and Purpose Limitation

We process your personal data to fulfill our contractual obligations to you (for example, providing access to your account and training features), based on your consent (for third-party integrations), and where necessary for our legitimate interests (such as maintaining the security and reliability of our services).

5. Data Storage and Security

SportPlatform uses reputable third-party providers to host and store data, including cloud infrastructure and database services. Access to personal data is restricted to authorized personnel and is protected through technical and organizational measures designed to prevent unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.

While we take reasonable steps to protect your data, no online service can guarantee absolute security.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We may share data only in the following situations:

• Service providers: with third-party vendors who help us operate the platform (for example, hosting, analytics, and email delivery), under appropriate data protection commitments.
• Legal requirements: when required by law or in response to valid legal processes.
• Protection of rights: when necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of SportPlatform, our users, or others.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal data for as long as necessary to provide our services and for legitimate and essential business purposes, such as maintaining the performance of the platform, complying with legal obligations, and resolving disputes. You may request deletion of your account, and we will remove or anonymize your personal data, unless we are required to retain it by law.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Request deletion of your personal data, subject to legal limits.
• Withdraw consent for third-party integrations (e.g., disconnecting Strava or Garmin).

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details provided below.

9. Children's Privacy

SportPlatform is not designed to be used by children without the consent and supervision of a parent, guardian, or responsible adult. Where applicable, accounts for minors should be created and managed by or under the guidance of an adult.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, legal requirements, or best practices. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
