Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 14, 2026

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").

The Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy supplements this Privacy Policy. If there is a conflict concerning consumer health data, the Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy controls for that data.

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.

Account 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
• Authentication-related information
• Postal mailing address, only if you choose first-class mail for required privacy and security notices

Sex, date of birth, height, and weight are entered manually by you. Fitness Connected calculates BMR from those inputs. Fitness Connected does not currently import height, weight, or BMR from Apple Health or Health Connect.

Health and Fitness Information

When you grant permission through Apple Health or Health Connect, we may collect health and fitness information that you choose to make available through those platforms. Fitness Connected stores daily totals and derived information used by the Service. It is not designed to keep a warehouse of raw health samples.

Current V1 categories are:

• Steps
• Distance
• Active calories
• Total calories
• Active or exercise minutes
• Workout and activity counts
• Sleep duration
• Resting heart rate
• Heart rate variability (HRV)
• Transient heart-rate information used for derivation

The specific information available may vary based on your devices, operating system, permissions, and the data present in Apple Health or Health Connect.

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.

Uploaded photos may be reviewed by service providers that help us detect unsafe or abusive content. Fitness Connected does not use those reviews to create a durable facial-recognition profile.

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

Product Interaction and Usage Analytics

We collect limited product-interaction and usage analytics to understand how Fitness Connected is adopted, used, and retained. This may include information such as:

• App opens and returns
• Onboarding milestones
• Use of core Compare functionality

We associate this analytics information with a pseudonymous identifier derived from the Fitness Connected account. We do not intentionally send names, email addresses, raw account identifiers, health or fitness values, user-generated content, advertising identifiers, physical device identifiers, or location through this analytics pipeline.

We do not use this analytics information for advertising or to track you across other companies' apps or websites. A service provider may process this analytics information on our behalf.

If you delete your Fitness Connected account, we request deletion of associated analytics records. That downstream deletion can occur asynchronously after your Fitness Connected account is deleted and remains subject to the service provider's deletion and retention processes.

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 read authorized health and fitness information from Apple Health, including HealthKit, on supported Apple devices, and from Health Connect on supported Android devices.

Apple Health and Health Connect are source platforms. They are not Fitness Connected service providers.

A wearable device or companion app may contribute information to Apple Health or Health Connect. Fitness Connected does not treat those devices or companion apps as direct V1 integrations.

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. Changing or revoking a source-platform permission may stop later imports. It does not by itself record Fitness Connected health-processing withdrawal or remove health data already stored by Fitness Connected.

Fitness Connected does not sell, rent, or use HealthKit data, Health Connect data, or other health information for advertising, targeted advertising, or cross-company tracking.

Health and fitness information is used to provide, maintain, improve, and support health, fitness, wellness, social, and comparison features within the Service.

Health-data processing consent is separate from:

• Agreeing to the Terms of Service
• Acknowledging this Privacy Policy
• Granting Apple Health or Health Connect permissions
• Choosing a profile audience
• Granting group-sharing permission

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
• Understand product adoption, usage, and retention through limited product-interaction analytics
• Improve user experience
• Improve app performance and reliability
• Monitor system health through crash reporting, diagnostics, and operational monitoring
• Detect abuse, fraud, or security concerns
• Review uploaded images and other content for safety and abuse-prevention purposes
• Provide customer support
• Communicate with users
• Send required privacy and security notices using the method you select
• Comply with legal obligations

5. Cross-Device Processing and Comparisons

Fitness Connected may collect, organize, aggregate, normalize, transform, analyze, compare, and display information received from Apple Health, Health Connect, and information you enter.

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

After you allow Fitness Connected to process your health data, you separately choose a profile audience for supported profile health information. No profile audience is selected for you.

• Mutual Connections: supported profile health information is visible only to people with whom you have a mutual Fitness Connected connection.
• Everyone on Fitness Connected: supported profile health information may be visible to other Fitness Connected users.

A connection by itself does not grant access to health information. Visibility depends on the audience selected by the person whose information is being viewed.

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.

Your sharing choices determine who Fitness Connected makes your information available to through the applicable features. People who can view that information may capture, save, copy, or share it, including through screenshots, screen recordings, photographs, messages, or posts outside Fitness Connected. This may include your identity, health and fitness information, comparisons, achievements, and group participation.

Fitness Connected cannot control every action taken by someone who receives your information or guarantee that they will keep it within your chosen audience. Information shared outside Fitness Connected may reach additional people and be handled under another service's terms and privacy practices.

Changing your audience, removing a connection, blocking someone, leaving a group, withdrawing consent, or deleting your data or account does not automatically remove copies someone previously saved or shared outside Fitness Connected. Fitness Connected cannot remotely erase copies independently saved or shared by other users. This does not change our obligations under applicable law to delete information we control or notify applicable recipients of a deletion request.

An acknowledgment of these risks does not expand the health-data permissions you give Fitness Connected or authorize misuse of another person's information. You can report suspected misuse through the available reporting tools or by contacting fitnessconnected@zungl.com.

7. When We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information, health information, or fitness information.

We do not use your information for targeted advertising or to track you across other companies' apps or websites.

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
• Product analytics
• Authentication
• Customer support
• Communications services
• Content and image moderation
• Payment processing and payment-platform services

These providers process information on Fitness Connected's behalf. Not every Fitness Connected service provider receives health information. Primary infrastructure providers may process health information as needed to operate the Service. Support-mail providers process health content only when you voluntarily include it in a message. Product analytics, crash reporting, transactional email, image moderation, website hosting, and payments are not intended to receive health values through ordinary integrations.

Fitness Connected does not use product analytics for advertising or cross-company tracking.

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
• Choose whether required privacy and security notices are sent to your account email or by first-class mail

We may request information necessary to verify your identity before responding to certain requests.

Consumer health data rights, response timing, appeals, deletion, and recipient-list handling are described in the Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy. If there is a conflict concerning consumer health data, that policy controls.

Health-Data Withdrawal, Scoped Deletion, and Account Deletion

These are different actions.

Complete health-processing withdrawal records the withdrawal, stops later Fitness Connected health ingestion and processing, and purges live Fitness Connected health data and related dependents. Your account, connections, group ownership, and group memberships remain. Fitness Connected does not delete copies stored in Apple Health, Health Connect, a wearable provider, or another externally controlled source.

Scoped health-data deletion asks Fitness Connected to delete particular health data while your processing permission remains in place. Details are in the Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy.

Whole-account deletion removes your Fitness Connected account as described in Section 10. The limits concerning copies independently saved or shared by other users are explained in Section 6.

You may complete health-processing withdrawal through available Settings controls. Details, including later reactivation, are in the Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy.

Privacy and Security Notices

You may select how Fitness Connected sends required privacy and security notices:

• Account email (recommended)
• First-class mail

If you choose first-class mail, we collect a postal mailing address and use it only to send those required notices. We do not collect a mailing address if you choose email.

When we send an electronic notice, we may also show a notice in the Fitness Connected app, and on our website when required.

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's database backups and related operational logs generally age out within about seven days. Fitness Connected does not rewrite backups immediately when live data is deleted. If a backup is restored, applicable deletion controls must be reapplied before the restored data is returned to ordinary use.

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 take reasonable steps to delete associated Fitness Connected live account data. This is subject to legal, operational, security, backup, fraud-prevention, Trust & Safety, child-safety, and recordkeeping requirements.

Certain information may remain in backups, logs, or archival systems for a limited period of time. As described in Section 9, backups and related operational logs generally age out within about seven days, and Fitness Connected does not rewrite backups immediately.

Downstream product analytics records held by a service provider may be deleted asynchronously after your Fitness Connected account is deleted and remain subject to that provider's deletion and retention processes.

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.

Deleting your Fitness Connected account also does not delete information from Apple Health, Health Connect, a wearable provider, or another service that Fitness Connected does not control. Section 6 explains why account deletion does not automatically remove copies independently saved or shared by other users.

Some information we are required to retain for legal, security, fraud-prevention, Trust & Safety, or child-safety purposes, including protected evidence, may not be deleted or de-identified as part of ordinary account deletion.

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. Where applicable law requires a separate affirmative consent for health-data processing, continued use by itself is not that consent.

15. Contact Us

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, your account, or Fitness Connected, you may contact us at:

fitnessconnected@zungl.com

We will make reasonable efforts to respond to inquiries in a timely manner.
