Privacy Policy

This is a translation. In case of any discrepancy, the Russian version prevails.

FitHorse records workouts: running, cycling, walking, trail running and skiing. Below we describe what data the app receives, why it is needed, who can see it and how to delete it. “We” means the developer of the FitHorse app.

What data we receive

• Account. When you sign up with email: your email and password (we store only its hash). When you sign in with Telegram: your Telegram ID and name. When you sign in with Apple: your Apple ID and your email if you chose to share it, including a hidden Apple relay address. When you sign in with Google: your Google ID, name and verified email from your Google account.
• Profile. Name, profile link name, city, “about me” text, profile photo and weight. Weight is used to calculate calories.
• Workouts. Sport, time, distance, pace or speed, elevation gain and loss, calories, average and maximum heart rate, per-kilometer splits and the GPS route. A workout reaches the server when the app syncs it.
• Friends and races. Your friends list, invites and race participation.
• Technical data. IP address and request times in server logs. They are needed to prevent abuse and to find bugs.

Location

The app uses your location only while a workout is being recorded. Recording continues when the screen is locked or another app is open; otherwise the route and distance would be cut off. Your location is not tracked outside of workouts.

Apple Health, Health Connect and heart rate monitors

With your permission, FitHorse reads heart rate from the Health app on iPhone or from Health Connect on Android during a workout and saves finished workouts there: sport, time, distance and calories. The app does not read any other health data. Heart rate from a Bluetooth sensor (a chest strap or watch) is read by the app directly. Heart rate reaches the server only as part of a workout: average, maximum and per split. Data from Health and Health Connect is not used for advertising, is not sold and is not shared with third parties. You can revoke these permissions at any time in Health or Health Connect settings.

Why we need the data

Only to make the app work: to store and sync workouts, show your profile and workout links, friends and races, and calculate calories. FitHorse has no ads, no advertising SDKs and no third-party analytics. We do not sell data and do not track you across other apps and websites.

Who can see the data

• Your public profile at https://fithorse.ru/u/name is visible to everyone. It shows your name, photo, city, totals and the workouts with routes that you have synced.
• Friends see your workouts in their feed and can invite you to races.
• Your email, password, weight and Telegram, Apple and Google IDs are never shown to anyone.

Third-party services

• Hosting. The database and profile photos are stored on a server rented by the developer.
• Maps. To show maps, the app loads OpenFreeMap tiles (OpenStreetMap data). The service sees the device's IP address and which map area was requested.
• Telegram — if you sign in with the Telegram bot.
• Apple — Sign in with Apple and the Health app on iPhone.
• Google — Sign in with Google and Health Connect on Android.

Retention and deletion

Data is kept for as long as your account exists. You can delete it in the app: “Profile” → profile card at the top → “Delete account”. Your account, workouts, profile photo, friends, invites and race registrations are deleted from the server immediately. Data disappears from database backups within 30 days. Workouts recorded on your phone stay there until you delete the app.

Security

All connections to the server use HTTPS. Passwords and sign-in tokens are stored only as hashes.

Children

FitHorse is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.

Your rights and contact

You can edit your profile in the app at any time and delete your account. For questions about your data, to request a copy of your data or a correction, contact us:
