Hey there! Welcome to GYMRAT's Privacy Policy.
We know reading a privacy policy might not be everyone's idea of a good time, but hear us out. We put a lot of effort into making this policy as clear and engaging as possible, because we actually want you to read it! Think of us as your fitness wingmate, here to guide you through the ins and outs of what data we collect, and why and how we use it. So get cozy, grab your protein shake, and let's dive in.
GYMRAT is a fitness social network that helps you find workout partners, track your fitness journey, and connect with like-minded fitness enthusiasts. We're here to help you build meaningful connections and crush your fitness goals together.
Company: VEDA INNOVATIONS LIMITED
Address: 9/F, Amtel Building, 148 Des Voeux Road, Central, Hong Kong
This Privacy Policy applies to websites, apps, events, and other services we operate under the GYMRAT brand. Whether you're searching for a workout buddy, tracking your gains, joining us at one of our events, or using any of our other awesome services, this Policy has got you covered. For simplicity, we just refer to all of these as our "service" in this Privacy Policy.
It goes without saying, we can't help you find the perfect workout partner without some information about yourself. Here's what we collect:
When you create an account, you give us basic information such as your email address and date of birth. Phone number is optional and only collected if you choose to provide it.
When you complete your profile, you share additional details about you, such as your gender, interests, preferences, approximate location, and fitness goals. You control what you share.
When you use our service, you may post photos, videos, text, workout logs, and other types of content, such as your chats with other members.
When you make a purchase, we keep the details of the transaction (e.g., what you purchased, the date of the transaction, and the price). When you pay through a platform such as iOS or Android, that platform handles your payment information.
When you choose to participate in surveys, focus groups, or promotions, you give us information to process your entry and participation, as well as your responses and feedback.
When you contact us, you provide us with information that may be necessary to help address your inquiry.
You may decide to share data with us through your accounts on other platforms (e.g., Apple, Google), for instance if you decide to create and log into your account via these platforms.
Using the service generates data about your activity, including how you use it (e.g., when you logged in, features you've been using, actions taken) and how you interact with others (e.g., searching, matching, communicating).
Using the service involves the collection of data from and about the device(s) you use, including hardware and software information such as IP address, device ID and type, app settings and characteristics, and app crashes.
If you give us permission, we can collect your geolocation (latitude and longitude) from your device to help you find nearby gyms and workout partners. If you decline permission, features that rely on precise geolocation may not be available to you.
If you grant permission, we process your contacts locally by hashing phone numbers. Only these anonymized hashes are sent to our servers to help you find friends already on GYMRAT. We never store your raw contact list or see actual phone numbers.
The main reason we process your data is to provide our service to you and improve it over time. That includes connecting you with workout partners who might match your fitness vibe, personalizing your experience, and helping you make the most of our service.
We use your data to:
Since our goal is to help you make meaningful fitness connections, some of your information is visible to other members on the service. We also share data with service providers and partners who assist us in operating the service.
You share data with other members when you voluntarily disclose information on the service for others to see (e.g., your public profile, posts, workout logs).
We share data with vendors and partners who help us operate, promote and improve our service. They provide services such as data hosting, analytics, customer care, marketing, and payment processing.
We may provide certain anonymized info to advertising partners to help improve the relevance of ads shown to you.
We may disclose your data to comply with a legal process, court order, or government request; to assist in the prevention or detection of crime; or to protect the safety of any person.
We may transfer your data if we are involved in a merger, sale, acquisition, or other change of ownership.
We want you to be in control of your data. Here are your rights and how to exercise them:
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at cs@gymrat.global.
We keep your personal data only as long as necessary for legitimate business reasons and as permitted by applicable law. Here's how long we retain different types of data:
If you decide to stop using our service, you can close your account and your profile will no longer be visible to other members. Note that we will close your account automatically if you are inactive for two years.
Our service is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older. We do not permit individuals under the age of 18 on our platform. If you suspect that a member is under the age of 18, please use the reporting mechanism available on the service.
This policy may change over time. We're always looking for new and innovative ways to help you build meaningful fitness connections and strive to make sure explanations of our data practices remain up-to-date. We will notify you before material changes take effect so that you have time to review the changes.
If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please contact us:
We will respond to your request within 30 days.
Well, that's it! You've made it to the end of our Privacy Policy. We hope it was as clear and helpful as we tried to make it. Now, let's get out there and start crushing those fitness goals together! 💪
