Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Athlytx ("we," "our," or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we access, process, and analyze your fitness data when you use our multi-device fitness analytics platform at athlytx.com (the "Service").

We are committed to protecting your privacy through a data-minimalist approach that focuses on real-time analysis rather than long-term data storage. This policy outlines our practices regarding your personal information and fitness data.

2. How We Access Your Data

2.1 Data Access from Connected Services

With your explicit authorization, we access fitness and health data from your connected services including:

• Strava: Activity data, performance metrics, workout history, athlete profile information
• Garmin: Activity data, body battery metrics, stress levels, wellness information, heart rate data
• Oura Ring: Readiness scores, sleep stages, activity tracking, temperature data, heart rate variability
• Whoop: Recovery scores, sleep data, strain metrics, heart rate variability, workout data

2.2 Technical and Usage Information

We may collect limited technical information to operate our Service:

• Device type and browser information (for compatibility)
• General location data (for time zone calculations)
• Service usage patterns (to improve user experience)
• Error logs (for technical support)

3. Our Data Philosophy: Read, Analyze, Don't Store

Here's how our data handling works:

• Real-time Access: We fetch your data from connected services only when you use our platform
• Temporary Processing: Data is temporarily loaded into your browser for analysis and visualization
• No Permanent Storage: Your fitness data is not saved to our databases or servers
• Session-based: When you close our platform, the analyzed data is cleared

4. How We Use Your Information

We access and process your fitness data for the following purposes:

• Real-time Analytics: To provide immediate insights across your connected fitness devices
• Cross-platform Analysis: To correlate data between different fitness platforms (e.g., training load vs. recovery)
• Trend Visualization: To generate charts and graphs showing your fitness patterns over time
• Performance Insights: To identify training and recovery optimization opportunities
• Multi-device Dashboard: To present unified analytics from all your connected devices
• Service Operation: To maintain and improve our analytical platform

5. Data Security and Protection

We implement robust security measures to protect your information during access and processing:

• Encrypted Connections: All data transfers use HTTPS encryption
• Secure APIs: We connect to fitness platforms using their official, secure API endpoints
• No Credential Storage: We do not store your login credentials for any fitness platform
• Token-based Access: We use temporary access tokens that you can revoke at any time
• Browser-based Processing: Data analysis occurs in your browser, not on our servers
• Regular Security Reviews: We continuously monitor and update our security practices

6. What We Don't Do With Your Data

To be completely transparent, here's what Athlytx does NOT do:

• ❌ We do not permanently store your fitness data on our servers
• ❌ We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information
• ❌ We do not share your data with advertisers or marketers
• ❌ We do not use your data to train machine learning models
• ❌ We do not retain your data after you disconnect services
• ❌ We do not access more data than necessary for our analytics

7. Third-Party Service Integration

Athlytx integrates with third-party fitness platforms through their official APIs. Your data remains stored with these services:

8. Your Rights and Control

You maintain complete control over your data and our access to it:

• Connection Control: Connect or disconnect any service at any time
• Access Revocation: Revoke Athlytx's access through your fitness platform settings
• Data Transparency: View exactly what data we access in our platform
• Immediate Disconnection: Stop all data access instantly by disconnecting services
• No Data Requests Needed: Since we don't store your data, there's no need to request deletion
• Platform Control: Manage your data directly through Strava, Garmin, Oura, or Whoop

9. Garmin Connect IQ Data Usage

Specifically for Garmin users, we access your Garmin Connect data to:

• Analyze your training load and intensity distribution
• Correlate your Body Battery scores with other recovery metrics

This data is accessed in real-time for analysis and is not stored on Athlytx servers. You can disconnect Garmin access at any time through your Garmin Connect account settings.

10. Data Retention and Deletion

Our data retention policy is simple:

• Fitness Data: Not stored - accessed and analyzed in real-time only

• Technical Logs: Minimal error logs retained for 30 days for technical support
• Account Deletion: When you disconnect all services, all associated access is immediately terminated

11. International Users

Athlytx can be accessed globally. Since we don't store personal data on our servers, there are no international data transfer concerns for fitness information. Any minimal technical data processed may be handled in accordance with applicable data protection regulations including GDPR and CCPA.

12. Children's Privacy

Our Service is designed for individuals 18 years and older. We do not knowingly access or process fitness data from individuals under 18. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has connected their fitness accounts to Athlytx, please contact us immediately.
