In short:

• myTrainingForecast is solely funded through membership subscriptions.
• Our only aim is to help reduce your risk of overuse injury.
• We do not collect or disclose your information for advertising purposes.

If you enjoy the app then consider subscribing to support its development.

myTrainingForecast (myTF.run) is operated by Scitracs Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 16958383), registered office 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London WC2H 9JQ. Scitracs Ltd is the data controller for the personal data described here. You can contact us at hello@scitracs.com.

We collect:

• your sports activities from the services that you choose to connect to myTrainingForecast (for example Strava, Garmin)
• your user profile and email address provided by you, and/or by the services that you choose to connect to myTrainingForecast (for example Strava, Google, Garmin)
• a link to your profile photo, if you connect your Strava account or use the Sign In with Google button
• the personal information that you choose to enter on our myTrainingForecast website (for example your past or planned activities, personal and health details)
• the way in which you access and interact with the myTrainingForecast websites and services (for example the way you browse through our webpages)

Strava may collect:

• information and data related to myTrainingForecast's use of the Strava API, as described in the Strava API Agreement
• a request each time your profile photo is displayed, because the photo is shown directly from Strava rather than copied to our servers

Google may collect:

• information about your sign-in when you use the Sign In with Google button. Google acts as an independent controller for this and may record that you used your Google account to sign in to myTrainingForecast. This is handled under the Google Privacy Policy.
• a request each time your profile photo is displayed, because the photo is shown directly from Google's servers rather than copied to ours

The sole purpose of myTrainingForecast is to help you plan your training and reduce your risk of injury. We use your personal data in two distinct ways.

To provide your personalised service: we analyse your activities and the health details you enter to calculate your personalised injury risk and training guidance. This is necessary to deliver the service you sign up for.

To develop and improve our injury and performance models: we use historical data to calibrate and improve our models, so that we can give you and other users better guidance over time. For this we work with pseudonymised data, meaning your records are separated from your identity, we minimise what we use, and we treat it as scientific research. We do not use this research to make decisions about you as an individual; your personalised guidance is produced separately as part of your service.

We may also publish anonymised aggregate statistics about training, injuries and performance, for example overall injury rates. These contain no information that identifies any individual.

For providing your personalised service, our lawful basis is performance of our contract with you. Because injury and pain data is health information, we also rely on your explicit consent, which you give when you sign up. You can withdraw this consent at any time; because the service cannot work without this data, withdrawing it means closing your account.

For developing and improving our models, our basis is our legitimate interest in making the service more accurate and safer. For the health data used in this way, we rely on the scientific research condition in UK data protection law. We apply the safeguards this requires, including using pseudonymised data, minimising what we use, and never using this research to make decisions about you as an individual.

We store your personal data for as long as you are a registered user. If you close your account or disconnect a connected service (for example Strava, Garmin or Google) then we delete your personal data. Some copies may remain in our backups for a short period afterwards, and these are purged as those backups age out of our rotation.

Data already incorporated into our research datasets for model development is kept in pseudonymised form and may be retained after your account is closed, so that our models stay accurate and properly validated.

We may keep limited records, such as payment and tax records, for longer where the law requires it.

We share data with the following processors who help us operate:

• Your data is stored in the UK and EU by IONOS, Hetzner, and DigitalOcean
• Email delivery is handled in the UK and EU by Amazon Web Services and IONOS
• Subscription payments are processed securely by Stripe (EU) or PayPal (USA). We do not access or store your payment information.
• If you enable it, your training forecast may be sent to Strava (USA) to be added in your activity descriptions; this transfer relies on your explicit consent.
• If you choose to connect Telegram to receive notifications, your notifications are delivered through Telegram outside the UK and EEA; this transfer relies on your explicit consent.

Where a provider that stores your data in the UK or EEA has a parent company in the United States (Amazon Web Services and DigitalOcean), any such access is covered by the UK-US data bridge. You can ask us for more detail on the safeguards for any transfer.

We use third-party services such as Strava, Garmin and Google to collect your sports activities and profile information. These services have their own privacy policies, which you should review when connecting your accounts.

We do not share your personal data with any third parties for their own marketing or advertising purposes.

You have the right to:

• ask for a copy of the personal data we hold about you (access)
• ask us to correct inaccurate data (rectification)
• ask us to delete your data in certain circumstances (erasure)
• ask us to restrict how we use your data (restriction)
• ask us to provide the data you gave us in a portable format (portability)
• object to processing based on our legitimate interests, including the model-development use described above
• withdraw your consent at any time

If you ask us to erase your data, we delete your live data. Data already used to develop and validate our models is kept in pseudonymised form, with your identifiers separated, and is not used to make decisions about you.

To exercise any of these rights, email us. You may also have the right to complain to your local data protection supervisory authority.
