This Privacy Policy explains how Strand Fitness Limited ("Strand," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use the Strand mobile application ("App").
Account information. When you create an account, we collect the information you provide (such as email address) via our authentication provider, Supabase.
Training and health data. Strand collects data you log yourself, including gym, run, and swim session details, nutrition entries (including custom foods and water intake), and body/training metrics you choose to enter. This is health-related information and is treated with additional care as described below.
Location data (GPS runs). When you start a GPS run, Strand uses your device's precise location — including in the background while the run is active and your phone is locked — to measure distance, pace and splits and to draw your route. Location is only collected while a run you started is in progress; it stops as soon as you finish, pause or discard the run. Your route is stored with the run and is visible to others only according to the privacy setting you choose for that run (Only me, Friends or Public). You can use Strand without GPS by logging runs manually or using treadmill mode.
Apple Health and Health Connect. If you choose to connect Apple Health (iOS) or Health Connect (Android), Strand reads your workouts (runs, swims and strength sessions), their distance, and — where recorded by your watch or another app — heart rate and active calories, so they appear in your training log. Strand also writes the runs you record in Strand back to Apple Health / Health Connect. You control this access in your device's Health settings and can disconnect at any time in Strand's Settings. Data obtained from Apple Health or Health Connect is used only to provide these features: it is never used for advertising, never sold, and never shared with third parties for their own purposes, and it is not used to build user profiles for marketing.
Camera and barcodes. The camera is used only when you choose to scan a food barcode or take a photo. When you scan a barcode, the barcode number is sent to Open Food Facts (a public food database) to look up nutrition information. No images from barcode scanning are stored or uploaded.
Social content. Posts, photos, comments, and friend connections you create in the App's social feed.
Subscription and purchase data. We (via our subscription management provider, RevenueCat) receive purchase and entitlement data from the Apple App Store and/or Google Play — such as which subscription tier you hold and renewal status. We do not receive or store your full payment card details; these are handled directly by Apple/Google.
Usage and device data. Basic technical data such as device type, app version, and crash/log data, used to maintain and improve the App.
We use your information to:
We do not sell your personal information.
Strand Pro's pattern detection and recovery recommendation features analyze your own logged gym and run session data to generate insights. These insights are generated automatically and are not reviewed by a medical professional; see the Terms of Service disclaimer regarding health content.
We share information only with:
We retain your account and training data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required for legal, security, or billing-record purposes.
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data. You can:
We use industry-standard safeguards, including encryption in transit and access controls provided by our infrastructure providers, to protect your data. No system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your data may be processed in countries other than your own, including the United States, where our service providers operate. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) for such transfers.
Strand is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under that age. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us so we can delete it.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be notified via the App or by email, with the "Last updated" date revised accordingly.
