PRIVACY POLICY

Last updated: January 16, 2025

Introduction

Meryus ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our fitness challenge tracking application.

Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect your email address for authentication purposes.

Profile Information

You may optionally provide a nickname, profile photo, and color preference to personalize your experience.

Activity Data

We collect the fitness activity logs you submit, including dates and values, to track your progress in challenges.

Third-Party Data (Strava)

If you connect your Strava account, we receive your athlete name and activity records (activity type, distance, date) to automatically log your workouts.

How We Use Your Information

  • To provide and maintain the fitness tracking service
  • To authenticate your account and protect your data
  • To sync activities from connected services like Strava
  • To display your progress in personal and shared challenges
  • To enable you to participate in challenges with other users

Third-Party Services

Strava Integration: When you connect your Strava account, we use OAuth 2.0 to securely access your activity data. We receive only the information necessary to sync your workouts (activity type, distance, date, and athlete name). Your Strava credentials are never stored by us.

Strava's use of your data is governed by their own privacy policy at strava.com/legal/privacy.

Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored securely in cloud infrastructure with industry-standard encryption.

Access to your personal data is restricted to your account only. In shared challenges, other participants can view your challenge progress and activity logs, but cannot modify your data.

Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

Your data may be visible to:

  • Other participants in challenges you join (progress and activity data)
  • Service providers who help us operate the application (data hosting)

Your Rights

  • Access your personal data through your profile settings
  • Update or correct your profile information at any time
  • Disconnect third-party services (like Strava) from your profile
  • Delete your activity logs from challenges
  • Request deletion of your account and associated data

Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, your personal data will be removed, though some anonymized data may be retained for analytical purposes.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes by posting the new policy on this page with an updated date.
