The Company respects the privacy of its Users and recognizes that privacy is important. This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) sets forth how the Company protects your privacy when you use the Services.

By accessing or using the Services, you are agreeing to the collection, use, and disclosure of certain personal information and location information as set forth in this Policy. If you do not consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information or location information as described in this Policy, your sole remedy is to cease use of the Services.

 

1. SCOPE OF PRIVACY POLICY. This Policy explicitly applies to any User using or accessing the Services. This Policy is incorporated into and is subject to the Terms of Use for the Services.

2. INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOW WE USE IT.

2.1 General. The Services allow you to track and record your rowing workouts and practice data on your mobile device. The mobile application records such information as time, stroke rate, and location. You may then upload this practice data from your mobile device for viewing and sharing through the Services application on certain networking systems (a “Network”). To use the Services on a Network you must add the Services application to your Network account, which enables the Company to access your user information from the Network, including your name, email address and Network ID. The Company uses your Network user information to provide your uploaded data to you via Network. All uploaded data is stored and maintained on third party web application servers and the security of such servers is further governed by privacy policies of such third parties.

Personal information collected by the Services therefore includes, but is not limited to:

• Your name, email address, and Network user ID.

• Your uploaded data concerning your workouts and locations of such workouts.

• Any other content you provide to your Network account related to the Services.

At any time, you can remove the Services application on the Network, which revokes permission for Company to access your Network user data. Unless you explicitly contact the Company to delete your uploaded information at the contact information provided above, the Company may still maintain certain workout related data that you uploaded so it may be shared with other Users who you “tagged” with that information.

2.2 Location Information. The Services collects location information, such as your geographic position. This information is collected from your mobile device only when you choose to upload such information. Your location information is only displayed and shared on a Network in accordance with your established privacy settings and your actions taken to share such information on Network.

2.3 Use of Personal Information and Location Information. The Company uses personal information and location information under the terms of this Policy for the following internal purposes:

• Operating, maintaining, and providing you the Services.
