We process personal data in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), applicable national laws, and best practices in data protection and information security.

We process personal data either as a data controller or as a data processor, depending on how the Services are provided, the role of the customer or partner, and the contractual arrangements.

2. User Roles in the Service and Collected Data

We collect personal data to varying extents depending on whether you use our Services as an employee, employer, service provider, or website visitor. The legal bases for processing can be (i) performance of a contract, (ii) legitimate interest (e.g., analytics and development), (iii) legal obligations, and/or (iv) explicit consent (in particular with respect to health data).

Fitness and Wellness Preferences: Goals, sports or activities, possible restrictions on participation.
Activity Data: Booking details, attendance data for fitness services booked through the Service.

2.2 Employer Users

Company Information: Company name, business ID, contact persons’ details.
Employee-Related Data: Aggregated and anonymized data on employees’ usage (e.g., participation levels, most popular services).

Analytics and Most Popular Services: Aggregated data on demand and trends.

2.4 Website Visitors and Marketing Pages

Cookies and Browser Data: Used to enable website functionality and analytics.
Marketing Forms: When you submit a contact request or subscribe to a newsletter, we collect the information you provide in the form (e.g., name, email, phone number, employer).
Direct B2B Marketing: We may send targeted email marketing to work email addresses based on legitimate interest (“position-based authority”) if it is directly relevant to our services.

3. How We Use Your Data

3.1 Providing and Developing the Service

1. We offer a booking and tracking system that allows employees to find and book fitness services.
2. We store and analyze anonymized and/or aggregated data to develop the Service and better understand user needs.

3.2 Individual Wellness Tracking

We enable individuals to track their own wellness data (fitness sessions, steps, sleep, etc.). In the Service, you can choose whether to share your data with service providers, your employer, or other users. You may also set certain records as private.

3.3 Reports to Employers

1. We provide aggregated, anonymized statistics such as usage rates, popular activities, or average activity levels to employers or community administrators, provided the group size is sufficiently large.
2. Health data is not included in these reports unless the individual has explicitly consented.

3.4 Visibility and Analytics for Service Providers

Service providers can view statistics on the number of bookings and trends, but they do not receive identifiable users’ health data without consent.

3.5 Customer Service and Communications

1. We process contact form submissions, support requests, and emails to serve our customers and improve our Services.
2. We may send notifications, updates, or newsletters when necessary (newsletters only if you have given consent or if otherwise permitted by law).

3.6 Marketing and Analytics

1. We use cookies and other technologies to learn how our website and Services are used and to improve the quality of our offerings.
2. We may display targeted advertisements on our own or our partners’ platforms if you have consented to this or if the processing is based on a legitimate interest (e.g., B2B marketing).

4. Data Sharing and Transfers

4.1 To Service Providers

1. We share booking information with the service providers you choose, so the bookings can be fulfilled.
2. If you integrate devices or external services (e.g., watches, apps), your data may be transferred between these services with your consent.

4.2 To Employers

We only disclose anonymized, aggregated statistics so that no individual can be identified. In exceptional cases (e.g., a reward campaign), we may show the employer limited individual-level activity data only if you have explicitly consented to this.

4.3 To Third Parties

We use external service providers (e.g., cloud services, analytics, payment processing) that process data on our behalf in accordance with the GDPR or equivalent requirements.

If data is transferred outside the EU/EEA, we use Standard Contractual Clauses or other appropriate safeguards to ensure an adequate level of data protection.

4.4 Legal Obligations

We may disclose data if required by law or an authority, or to protect our rights.

4.5 Business Transactions

In the event of a merger or business transaction, user data may be transferred to a new owner. The new owner will be bound by the terms of this Privacy Policy.

5. Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies for the operation of our Services, to personalize user experience, enhance security, and perform analytics. Cookies assist in the following:

Authentication: Remembering your browser or app during login.
Security: Detecting suspicious or harmful activities.
Analytics: Understanding and improving the use of the Service.
Marketing: Displaying targeted advertisements (only with consent or legitimate interest).

You can manage your cookie preferences in your browser settings.

6. Data Retention

Retention Period: We keep personal data only as long as necessary to provide the Service or to fulfill legal obligations.
Inactive Accounts: We may delete an account that has not been used for a long time (e.g., two or three years of inactivity). We will send multiple reminders before deletion.
Log Data: Server logs (e.g., requests to the server, IP addresses) are stored for a maximum of two years and then deleted or anonymized.

7. Data Security

1. We employ multiple layers of security, including encryption, firewalls, and access controls.
2. Our architecture is designed so that external connections and access to IT systems are minimized.
3. Despite thorough safeguards, no technology is completely infallible. We therefore cannot guarantee 100% data security.

8. Your Rights as a Data Subject

Access Your Data (GDPR Art. 15): You can request confirmation from us as to whether we are processing your personal data and obtain a copy of that data.
