Fit Best Training App (“Fit Best”) respects the privacy rights of our users and are committed to protecting the information collected through our online products, online services and websites including but not limited to the Fit Best Training App software application (any or all of which are referred to as “App”). Fit Best has adopted this privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) to explain how Fit Best collects, stores, and uses the information collected in connection with Fit Best’s App.

BY INSTALLING, USING, REGISTERING TO OR OTHERWISE ACCESSING ANY APP, YOU AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY AND GIVE AN EXPLICIT AND INFORMED CONSENT TO THE STORAGE, USE, AND PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT INSTALL, USE, REGISTER TO OR OTHERWISE ACCESS ANY APP. Fit Best reserves the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time, so please review it frequently. If Fit Best makes material or significant changes to this Privacy Policy, the updates will be posted to the website at https://www.fitbesttraining.com/. Any changes to this Privacy Policy will be effective upon their being posted on Fit Best’s website. Your continued use of the App will signify your acceptance of the changes to this Privacy Policy.

16.1 Non-personal Data For the purpose of this Privacy Policy, “non-personal data” means information that does not directly identify you, which may include your age, weight, and gender. Additionally, non-personal data includes “aggregate” and “de-personalized” information, which is data Fit Best collects about the use of Fit Best App, from which any personally identifiable data has been removed.

Fit Best collects non-personal data from you to make your use of the App more efficient and useful. For example, if you provide non-personal data about you, the App may provide certain information about your workout such as calories burned or other tailored calculations about your workout.

Fit Best also uses tools and third party analytical software to automatically collect and use certain non-personal data that does not directly enable Fit Best to identify you. The types of non-personal data Fit Best may collect and use include, but are not limited to: (i) device properties, including, but not limited to unique device identifier or other device identifier (“UDID”); (ii) device software platform and firmware; (iii) mobile phone carrier; (iv) geographical data such as postal code, area code and location; (v) goals met and achievements; (vi) other non-personal data as reasonably required by Fit Best to enhance the App and other Fit Best products and services.

Fit Best shares non-personal data, including both data you provide to Fit Best and data which is automatically collected, with Fit Best’s partners and contractors for purposes of analysing usage of the App, advertisement serving, managing and providing the App, and to further develop the App and other Fit Best services and products.

You recognize and agree that the analytics companies utilized by Fit Best may combine the information collected with other information they have independently collected from other services or products relating to your activities. These companies collect and use information under their own privacy policies.

16.2 Ad Serving Technology Fit Best reserves the right to use and disclose collected non-personal data for purposes of advertisement by Fit Best or Fit Best’s partners and contractors. Fit Best employs third party ad serving technologies that use certain methods to collect information as a result of ad serving through the App. Fit Best or third parties operating the ad serving technology may use your demographic and location information, non-personal data you provide to Fit Best, and information logged from your hardware or device to ensure that appropriate advertising is presented within the Service. Fit Best or third parties may collect and use data for this purpose including, but not limited to IP address (including for purposes of determining your approximate geographic location), UDID, software, applications, hardware, browser information, internet and on-line usage information and in-app information. The foregoing data may be used and disclosed in accordance with this Privacy Policy and the privacy policy of the company providing the ad serving technology.

You recognize and agree that the advertising companies who deliver ads for Fit Best may combine the information collected with other information they have independently collected from other services or products. These companies collect and use information under their own privacy policies. These ad serving technologies are integrated into the App; if you do not want to be subject to this technology, do not use or access the App. Although Fit Best takes commercially reasonable steps to instruct such advertising companies to comply with the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy, Fit Best does not have access to or control of third party technologies.

16.3 Personal Data For purposes of this Privacy Policy, “personal data” means personally identifiable information that specifically identifies you as an individual.

Likely situations when you make personal data available to Fit Best include, but are not limited to: (i) registration for the App, contests and special events; (ii) accessing the App using a third party ID, such as social networking sites or gaming services; (iii) subscribing to newsletters; (iv) purchasing a product or services through Fit Best’s online stores; (v) using “tell a friend,” “email this page,” or other similar features; (vi) requesting technical support; and (vii) otherwise through use of Fit Best’s App where personal data is required for use and/or participation.

Fit Best may use collected personal data for purposes of analysing usage of the App, providing customer and technical support, managing and providing the App (including managing advertisement serving) and to further develop the App and other Fit Best services and products. Fit Best may combine non-personal data with personal data.

Fit Best may use your personal data to send messages to you with informative and/or commercial content about Fit Best’s services or third party products and services Fit Best thinks may be of interest to you, such as new features and services, special offers and updated information.

Fit Best has the right to share your personal data as necessary for the aforementioned third parties to provide their services for Fit Best. Fit Best is not liable for the acts and omissions of these third parties, except as provided by applicable law.

Fit Best may disclose your personal data to third parties as required by law enforcement or other government officials in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringements, or other activity that is illegal or may expose you or Fit Best to legal liability. Fit Best may also disclose your personal data to third parties when Fit Best has a reason to believe that a disclosure is necessary to address potential or actual injury or interference with Fit Best’s rights, property, operations, users or others who may be harmed or may suffer loss or damage, or Fit Best believes that such disclosure is necessary to protect Fit Best’s rights, combat fraud and/or comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on Fit Best. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Fit Best will make reasonable efforts to notify you of such disclosure through Fit Best’s website or in another reasonable manner.

Only those persons with a need to process your personal data in connection with the fulfilment of their tasks in accordance with the purposes of this Privacy Policy and for the purposes of performing technical maintenance, have access to your personal data in Fit Best’s possession. Personal data collected by Fit Best is stored in secure operating environments that are not available to the public. To prevent unauthorized on-line access to personal data, Fit Best maintains personal data behind a firewall-protected server. However, no system can be 100% secure and there is the possibility that despite Fit Best’s reasonable efforts, there could be unauthorized access to your personal data. By using the App, you assume this risk, and Fit Best will not be liable for any misappropriation or theft of your personal data.

Fit Best is not responsible for any personal data you choose to make public in any of these forums.

If you are under 15 years of age or a minor in your country of residence, please ask your legal guardian’s permission to use or access the App. Fit Best takes children’s privacy seriously, and encourages parents and/or guardians to play an active role in their children’s online experience at all times.
