Plain-English summary
The company states that information posted in the Forum may remain public and accessible by third-party search engines even after account closure, which is a significant privacy concern. Your personal data may also be transferred to potential buyers in the event of a business sale, and when transferred internationally, it may be subject to less protective laws. The company may also use your personal data for purposes not explicitly detailed if legally permitted, and may use fully anonymized data without further notice. Additionally, US residents are limited to two data access requests per year, and the company may charge fees for excessive requests. The company shares data with third-party advertising partners for targeted ads.

Public Information from Forum Posts is Permanently Public
Information shared in the Forum will remain public even after your account is closed and may be indexed by third-party search engines, websites, and apps.
Why it matters: Any information you post in the Forum, including potentially sensitive personal data, may be permanently public and accessible via internet search engines, even if you close your Forum account or attempt to delete the content.
When you choose to delete content that you have posted to the Forum, the information will not be deleted from third party websites, apps or internet search engine indexes instantly as removal of the content depends on third party policies.

International Data Transfers May Lack Same Protections
When your Personal Data is transferred to another country for storage or processing, it will be subject to the Data Protection Law of that country, which may not provide the same protections as the Data Protection Law in your country of residence.
Why it matters: Your personal data, when transferred internationally, may lose some of the protections afforded by your home country's laws, potentially exposing it to different data handling standards and risks.
However, when stored or processed in another country, your Personal Data will be subject to the applicable Data Protection Law of that country, which may not provide the same protections as the applicable Data Protection Law in your country of residence.
The company may fully anonymize your Personal Data and use that information without further notice to you.
Why it matters: Once your data is anonymized, the company can use it without informing you, which might be concerning if you prefer to know all uses of your data, even in anonymized form.
We may also fully anonymise your Personal Data so that it can no longer be associated with you or identify you, in which case we may use that information without further notice to you.

Limited Access Right for US Residents

Fees for Excessive Data Access Requests
While generally not charging a fee for data access, the company may charge a reasonable fee if a request for access is clearly unfounded, excessive, or if it declines to comply with such requests where permitted by applicable Data Protection Law.
Why it matters: You might incur fees if your requests for data access are deemed excessive or unfounded, potentially deterring you from exercising your rights.
While you will generally not be required to pay a fee to access your Personal Data or to exercise any of your other statutory rights, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is clearly completely unfounded, excessive or declines to comply with such requests where permitted by applicable Data Protection Law.

Data Sharing with Third-Party Advertising Partners for Targeted Ads
The company uses third-party vendors and partners (like Meta) to deliver interest-based ads, and may transfer your Personal Data to these partners for their use in delivering such ads.
Why it matters: Your personal data, such as online identifiers or browsing activity, may be shared with third-party advertising partners for targeted advertising, meaning you might receive ads based on your activities across different platforms.
Like many companies, however, we use the services of third-party vendors and partners that help deliver interest-based ads to you. As part of this process, we may transfer your Personal Data to those vendor partners (like Meta) for their use as they help us deliver interest-based ads. Making Personal Data (such as online identifiers or browsing activity) available to these companies may be considered a "sale" or “share” under applicable U.S. State Consumer Privacy Laws.

Explicit Consent for Health Data Processing and Right to Withdraw
The company processes sensitive health data only with explicit consent and users can withdraw consent at any time, though some functionalities might be affected.
Why it helps: You have control over your sensitive health information, with the ability to decide whether to share it and to withdraw that consent at any time. This ensures your privacy preferences are respected for highly personal data.
Personal details including about your physical or mental health are considered “sensitive” Personal Data under applicable Data Protection Law. We will process any such data only if you have given your explicit consent, or it is necessary (for instance, if you request special assistance), or if the sensitive Personal Data has been manifestly made public by you (e.g., by posting information about your health/fitness status in the Forum), or otherwise in compliance with applicable Data Protection Law. You may withdraw your consent for Sweat’s processing of your sensitive Personal Data in the Profile Menu in the App at any time.
