Device Privacy Policy

What Device Information Do We Collect?

We collect daily totals for steps, distance, calories and exercise minutes. In order to collect these daily totals we request the necessary read permissions during the process when you select a device to sync with us on the Device Data page. Once you sync your device with us, daily totals may continue to sync with us in the background even when the app is not in use or you are not logged into the website. Also upon opening the app or logging into the website recent daily totals may sync with us. Daily totals that have successfully synced with us are stored with us for a consistent user experience of the wellness program whether you participate via the app or a web browser. Daily totals synced with us are securely handled: they are encrypted during transit and at rest.

You may delete your daily totals that are stored with us on the Device Data page. Daily totals stored with us are deleted either when you request (as just described) or when your account is deleted. You may revoke daily totals read permissions and un-sync your device with us and optionally switch to a different device to sync with us at any time. Un-syncing your device will not automatically delete your daily totals that are stored with us.

Who Has Access To My Device Information?

You will see your daily totals that have synced with us automatically populate or directly affect the different elements of the wellness program that utilize daily totals.
Others in the same competition as you may see a portion of your daily totals or a derivative of them, as you will see theirs.
If you ask for help with syncing/troubleshooting your device, or ask questions regarding wellness program elements that utilize daily totals, those helping you may see your daily totals data in helping to resolve the issue or answer your questions.
We may access your daily totals to administer, provide and/or verify elements of the wellness program.

How Will My Device Information Be Used?

It will be used to enable you to easily participate in elements of the wellness program that utilize daily totals data including competitions. Your daily totals will be used to calculate individual daily, weekly, and/or monthly totals/averages to gauge your current participation and goals/benchmarks reached or earned. This often is accompanied by a week view showing the daily total for each day of the week. Also may be the option to view past weeks based on your daily totals. When you participate in competitions, which may be individual or team based, your daily totals may be used to contribute to individual, team, and/or organization totals/averages. Further, individual or team rankings based on these totals/averages may be compiled. At times a winner may be declared based on the compiled rankings. When you choose to participate in the leader board your current week, month and year to date totals will display and be ranked against others.

To administer, provide and/or verify elements of the wellness program we may generate an internal report for a wellness program element based on your daily totals and others in your organization.

It is NOT used for advertising or sale.
