AthleteSync Privacy Policy Effective Date: [15 May 2024]
AthleteSync ("Company", "We", "Us" or "Our") is a technology company providing solutions to monitor athletic training progress. Our goal is to revolutionize the world of training and athletic performance. We provide users (either individuals or companies) ("Users") a platform to monitor athletic training progress, and make available certain services and contents supplied by third parties with whom We contract (the "Services"). These third parties may provide content in several forms, including, but not limited to, workout and exercise prescriptions, guidance, and cues ("Content Providers").
For example, Content Providers can, through AthleteSync, publish and or sell training that can then be downloaded by Users. Content Providers can also upload their training (paper, pdf, excel) and through generative artificial intelligence, We will convert them into usable workouts.
AthleteSync relies on collecting information, including Personal Information, from you to produce personalized workout plans that are customized for your specific body type, fitness level, training, or fitness goals, and are practical given your schedule and resources. "Personal information" means any information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual. Our computer algorithm relies on these various inputs to produce exercise recommendations and schedules.
We may at times work with third parties and Content Providers to present offers and advertisements which we believe are relevant to you and may also customize the content and user experience based on your information. Our main purpose in collecting such Information is to provide you with an excellent service and overall User experience. We strive to maintain transparency and will not use or share your Personal Information with anyone except as described in this Policy.
Capitalized terms that are not defined in this Policy have the meaning given them in Our Terms of Use. We encourage you to get acquainted with our Terms of Use to understand how We provide the Services to you. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it through Our compliance with this Policy.
Please read this Policy carefully to understand our privacy practices. If you do not want Us to process your Personal Information as it is described in this Policy, please do not use Our Services. If you have any questions about this Policy or AthleteSync, please contact Us at team@athlete-sync.com (for additional contact information, please see Section 15 of this Policy).
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") covers the Personal Information that We collect through AthleteSync application and its website www.athlete-sync.com (the "Website"), owned or controlled by the Company or websites that post a link to this Policy. When you use Our Services, you'll share some information with Us.
According to Article 13 of the General Data Protection Regulations Regulation, (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), in Our role as a controller of Personal Information (as defined below), We want to be upfront about the information We collect, how We use it, whom We share it with, and the controls We give you to access, update, and delete your Information.

The Company is the controller of your Personal Information. The Company is registered at: Harju maakond, Tallinn, Kesklinna linnaosa, Ahtri tn 12, 1555.

There are three basic categories of information We collect:
Here's a little more detail on each of these categories.
When you use Our Services, you usually provide to Us certain information, including your Personal Information such as:
When you visit Our Website, We collect Internet or other electronic network activity information through the use of cookies and other trackers. Depending on your tracking preferences, the information We collect may include but is not limited to your device's Internet Protocol ("IP") address, referring website, what pages your device visited, and the time that your device visited our Website.

When you use Our Services, We may automatically collect certain data about you. This data is needed for operation of the Services and, among others, may be used for in-app analytics or marketing purposes. The data We collect automatically includes:
The technologies We use for automatic data collection may include: We use third-party analytics tools, such as AWS or Posthog to help Us measure traffic and usage trends for AthleteSync. These tools collect information via third-party analytics software development kits incorporated into AthleteSync, which may include your pseudonymised user ID and the information about the webpages you visit when following the links available to you on Our Services, your actions in AthleteSync application and basic information about the type of subscription you have. We collect and use this analytics information in an aggregated manner with analytics information from other users so that it cannot reasonably be used to identify any particular user. For information on how third-party analytics tools collect and process your data, please contact us at team@athlete-sync.com.
According to Article 6 of the GDPR, We are allowed to use your Personal Information when certain conditions apply. These conditions are called "legal bases" and We typically rely on one of four:
We will use Personal Information for the following purposes:
AthleteSync Services include connecting Users to coaches and/or teams, and to offer the Services, AthleteSync discloses Personal Information to the coaches and/or teams that your Account is associated with or that you interact with through Our Services. We do not rent or sell your Personal Information, including text to any third parties outside AthleteSync.
Parties with whom We may share your Personal Information: We may also share your Personal Information and other collected information with third-party organizations such as contractors and service providers that We use to support our business who will act as data processors according to Article 28 of the GDPR and who are bound by confidentiality and data protection terms (consistent with this Policy) to keep your Personal Information confidential and use it only based on our instructions ("Service Providers").
If We receive your Personal Information and subsequently transfer that information to a third-party agent or Service Provider for processing, We remain responsible for ensuring that such third-party agent or Service Provider processes your Personal Information to the standard required by the applicable privacy laws, including the GDPR, and CCPA. These transfers will typically be based on Our legitimate interests. Such Service Providers include:
By these means, We are able to reach you and people like you on various platforms. For the avoidance of doubt, We do not share or transfer your Contents to third parties other than coaches (except storing your Contents to our cloud providers Google Cloud Platform and Amazon Web Services). We use only secure places of storage, such Amazon Web Services.
You are sharing your Personal Information: You might be sharing information on message boards, chat, and other services to which you are able to post Content. Please note that any information you post or disclose through these services will become public and may be available to other users and the public.
What happens in the event of a change of control: If We sell or otherwise transfer part or the whole of the Company or Our assets to another organization (e.g., during a transaction like a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, acquisition, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation), your Personal Information and any other collected information may be among the items sold or transferred.
Responding to legal requests and preventing harm: We may access, preserve, and share your Personal Information in response to a legal (like a search warrant, court order or subpoena), government or regulatory request if We have a good faith belief that the law requires Us to do so. This may include responding to legal, government or regulatory requests from jurisdictions where We have a good faith belief that the response is required by law in that jurisdiction, affects users in that jurisdiction, and is consistent with internationally recognized standards.
We may also access, preserve, and share information when We have a good faith belief it is necessary to:
Information We receive about you may be accessed, processed, and retained for an extended period of time when it is the subject of a legal request or obligation, governmental investigation, or investigations concerning possible violations of our terms or policies, or otherwise to prevent harm.

Non-personal information: We may also share with third parties that provide services to Us or perform business purposes for us aggregated, non-personally identifiable, or de-identified information.
We may use third-party advertising companies to serve advertisements regarding goods and services that may be of interest to you when you access and use the Services and other websites or online services, based on information relating to your access to and use of the Services and other websites or online services. To do so, these companies may place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser. In addition, We may share information that does not directly identify you (such as de-identified usage data, referring/exit pages and URLs, platform types, number of clicks, etc.) with interested third parties to help them understand the usage patterns for certain AthleteSync services.
AthleteSync may allow third-party ad servers or ad networks to serve advertisements on the Services. These third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology to send, directly to your browser, the advertisements and links that appear on AthleteSync. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may also use other technologies (such as cookies, JavaScript, or web beacons) to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements and to personalize the advertising content. AthleteSync does not provide any information that directly identifies you to these third-party ad servers or ad networks without your consent or as required under applicable law. However, please note that if an advertiser asks AthleteSync to show an advertisement to a certain audience and you respond to that advertisement, the advertiser or ad server may conclude that you fit the description of the audience they are trying to reach. In addition, third-party advertisers may use information (not including your name, address, email address, body information, or telephone number) about your visits to this and other websites to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. AthleteSync is not the entity responsible for the processing of your information by third-party ad servers or ad networks. The AthleteSync Privacy Policy does not apply to, and We cannot control the activities of, third-party advertisers. Please consult the respective privacy policies of such advertisers for more information.
Your Personal Information might be processed outside the EU. As to the location of our servers, We use AWS and Google Cloud Platform servers located in the EU. However, our third-party AI Service Providers Servers may be located, stored and/or processed outside EEA/UK countries. When Service Providers engage in such transfers of Personal Information, they rely on i) Adequacy Decisions as adopted by European Commission on the basis of Article 45 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), or ii) Standard Contractual Clauses issued by the European Commission. The European Commission has determined that the Standard Contractual Clauses provide sufficient safeguards to protect personal data transferred outside the EU or EEA.

We will always protect your Personal Information in accordance with this Policy wherever it is processed. We do not voluntarily or actively transfer or disclose your Personal Information to the government or law enforcement authorities (the "Authorities") and/or otherwise grant any Authorities access to your Personal Information.
We will treat your Personal Information according to correctness, lawfulness and in compliance with all the principles of Article 5 of the GDPR, and with the aid of electronic tools, and in compliance with Article 5 of this Policy.

We use appropriate technical, organizational, and administrative security measures to protect any Personal Information We store from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.
No company or service can guarantee complete security. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors may compromise the security of user's Personal Information at any time. Among other practices, your account is protected by a password for your privacy and security.

The date this Policy was last revised is indicated at the top of the page. The Company may modify or update this Policy from time to time. Some changes do not require your consent: for example, when We add a new purpose of processing that is compatible with the existing purposes, or the new processing activity that falls under the users' reasonable expectation. However, if the changes made may pose risk to your rights and freedoms (e.g., by including a new purpose of the processing that is not compatible with the existing purposes of processing, a new legal basis, a new category of personal data to be collected or a new data subject, all of which are not reasonably expected by the users, we will ask for your consent to those changes separately from this Policy. If you did not receive a request for your consent to the changes or refused to give consent, those changes will not apply to you. That fact can negatively affect some of our Services provided to you in case those services inevitably include consent to the changes.
