1. Introduction
Fitness Connected is a product of Zungl LLC. In this Privacy Policy, "Fitness Connected," "FC," "we," "us," or "our" refer to Zungl LLC in connection with Fitness Connected.
We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your information.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, process, disclose, and protect information when you access or use the Fitness Connected mobile application, website, services, content, features, and related technologies (collectively, the "Service").
By using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.
2. Information We Collect
We may collect the following categories of information.

Information you provide when creating or managing an account, including:
- Email address
- Username
- Display name
- Profile information
- Profile photos you choose to upload
- Sex, date of birth, height, and weight you choose to enter manually for your profile
- Calculated basal metabolic rate (BMR) derived from profile information you provide, where applicable

Height and weight used for your profile are entered manually by you. Fitness Connected does not currently import height or weight from Apple Health or Health Connect.
Health and Fitness Information
When you grant permission through supported health platforms, we may collect health and fitness information that you choose to make available through those platforms. Such information may include:
- Steps
- Heart rate
- Resting heart rate
- Heart rate variability (HRV)
- Sleep information
- Active calories
- Total calories
- Distance
- Exercise activity
- Other health or fitness information that you explicitly authorize and that Fitness Connected currently supports.
The specific information available may vary based on your devices, operating system, permissions, and supported integrations.
Photos and User Content
We may collect content you create or upload within the Service, including:
- Profile photos
- Group photos or avatars
- Group names and descriptions
- In-app feedback or support messages you submit
Feedback and support submissions are reviewed by Fitness Connected and are not publicly displayed to other users as a feed or forum.
Device and Technical Information
We may automatically collect information such as:
- Device type
- Operating system
- Application version
- Time zone information
- Diagnostic information
- Sync status information
- Crash and error reports
Social and Community Information
If you use social features, we may collect information related to:
- Connections within Fitness Connected (an in-app social graph, not your device address book)
- Group memberships
- Rankings
- Comparisons
- Achievements
- Badges
- Streaks
- Community participation
Fitness Connected does not access your phone's address book or device contacts to create connections.
Optional Support Payment Information
Fitness Connected may offer optional ways to support continued development. Payment processing depends on the platform:
- On iOS, optional support purchases may be processed by Apple through In-App Purchase and StoreKit.
- On Android, optional support contributions may be processed through Stripe-hosted Payment Links or Checkout.
Fitness Connected does not receive or store raw payment-card numbers or card security codes from these payment flows.
On iOS, the app may receive StoreKit transaction information needed to initiate, verify, finish, or recover a support purchase. Fitness Connected does not use optional support purchases to create a durable supporter identity or a dedicated purchase ledger.
On Android, payment is completed on a Stripe-hosted checkout page. Fitness Connected does not receive a trusted payment-completion signal from this flow and does not create a durable supporter identity or dedicated purchase ledger from the payment.
Fitness Connected does not send health or fitness information to Apple or Stripe as part of an optional support payment flow. Fitness Connected also does not intentionally send Fitness Connected account UUIDs or sensitive profile information to Stripe for support-payment reconciliation.
3. Information From Health Platforms
Fitness Connected may integrate with supported health and fitness platforms.
Supported integrations may include, but are not limited to:
- Apple HealthKit
- Apple Health
- Android Health Connect
- Wearable devices
- Fitness trackers
- Other supported health and wellness platforms
Fitness Connected only accesses information that you explicitly authorize through the applicable platform permission controls.
You may modify or revoke permissions through your device settings or the applicable platform at any time.
Fitness Connected does not sell, rent, or use HealthKit data, Health Connect data, or other health information for advertising purposes.
Health and fitness information is used solely to provide, maintain, improve, and support health, fitness, wellness, social, and comparison features within the Service.
4. How We Use Information
We may use information we collect to:
- Provide and operate the Service
- Synchronize health and fitness information
- Generate insights, trends, and summaries
- Display health and wellness metrics
- Calculate comparisons and rankings
- Award badges, achievements, and streaks
- Support social and community features
- Facilitate optional support purchases or contributions through applicable payment providers
- Improve user experience
- Improve app performance and reliability
- Monitor system health through crash reporting, diagnostics, and operational monitoring
- Detect abuse, fraud, or security concerns
- Provide customer support

5. Cross-Device Processing and Comparisons
Fitness Connected may collect, import, organize, aggregate, normalize, transform, analyze, compare, and display information received from supported devices and health platforms.
These processes help provide:
- Cross-device comparisons
- Rankings and leaderboards
- Trends and progress insights
- Progress tracking
- Achievements and streaks
- Insights and wellness features
Information displayed within Fitness Connected may differ from information displayed by device manufacturers, wearable providers, health platforms, or other third-party services.
Differences may result from:
- Device hardware differences
- Manufacturer algorithms
- Data availability
- Synchronization timing
- Platform-specific calculations
- Data processing methods
- Fitness Connected calculations and normalization methods
6. Social Sharing and Visibility
Depending on your privacy settings and use of the Service, other users may be able to view certain information, including:
- Username
- Display name
- Profile information
- Profile photos
- Shared health and fitness metrics
- Rankings
- Badges
- Streaks
- Group participation, including group names and related group content as applicable
When you create a group or accept a group invitation, you join a separate sharing relationship with other members of that group. Supported health and fitness metrics, including activity, sleep, and heart-rate metrics, may be visible to other members through group-related features such as standings, leaderboards, snapshots, and group comparisons. This group sharing can occur even when members are not mutually connected and does not require a change to your Profile Visibility setting. Group membership does not, by itself, make your health data visible on your ordinary profile outside group-related experiences.
You are responsible for the information you choose to share through available privacy controls.
7. When We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information, health information, or fitness information.
We may share information in the following circumstances.
Service Providers
We may share information with trusted service providers that assist in operating the Service, including providers of:
- Cloud infrastructure
- Data storage
- Crash reporting, diagnostics, and operational monitoring
- Authentication
- Customer support
- Communications services
- Payment processing and payment-platform services
Payment Providers
Apple and Stripe may independently collect and process payment, transaction, device, contact, or other information needed to provide their payment services. Their handling of that information is governed by their own terms, privacy policies, and legal obligations.
Fitness Connected does not receive or store raw payment-card numbers or card security codes from the optional support flows described above.
Legal Requirements
We may disclose information if required by law or if we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to:
- Comply with legal obligations
- Protect rights or property
- Prevent fraud or abuse
- Protect users or public safety
Business Transactions
Information may be transferred as part of a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, asset sale, or similar business transaction.
8. Your Choices and Privacy Rights
Subject to applicable law, you may have the ability to:
- Access information associated with your account
- Update or correct account information
- Delete your account in the app or request deletion by contacting us
- Disconnect health platform integrations
- Adjust sharing and privacy settings
- Request information regarding your personal data
We may request information necessary to verify your identity before responding to certain requests.
9. Data Retention
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to:
- Provide the Service
- Maintain user accounts
- Comply with legal obligations
- Resolve disputes
- Enforce agreements
- Prevent abuse and fraud
- Maintain security and operational integrity
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information involved.
Fitness Connected does not maintain a dedicated purchase ledger or durable supporter status for optional Support Fitness Connected payments. Apple and Stripe may independently retain transaction or payment records according to their own policies, service requirements, and legal obligations.
10. Account Deletion
You may delete your account directly in the Fitness Connected app, or request deletion by contacting us at fitnessconnected@zungl.com. Additional account-deletion instructions are available at https://zungl.com/fitness-connected/account-deletion.
If your account owns a group, you may need to transfer ownership or delete the group before account deletion can be completed.
When an account is deleted, we will take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify associated personal information, subject to legal, operational, security, backup, fraud-prevention, and recordkeeping requirements.
Certain information may remain in backups, logs, or archival systems for a limited period of time.
Deleting your Fitness Connected account does not delete transaction or payment records independently controlled by Apple or Stripe. Those providers may retain records as required by their own policies, service requirements, or legal obligations.
11. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
However, no method of electronic transmission, storage, or processing can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Accordingly, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
12. Children's Privacy
Fitness Connected is intended only for individuals who are at least eighteen (18) years old.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under eighteen.
If we become aware that information has been collected in violation of this policy, we may delete the information and terminate the associated account.
13. International Users
Fitness Connected is operated from the United States.
If you access the Service from outside the United States, you understand that your information may be transferred to, processed in, and stored in jurisdictions that may have different data protection laws than those in your country of residence.
14. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
When material changes are made, we may provide notice through the Service, by email, or through other reasonable means.
The updated Privacy Policy will become effective on the date indicated at the top of the document.
Continued use of the Service following the effective date of an updated Privacy Policy constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
