IV. Situations, purposes and legal bases of the Processing of your Personal Data

1. Login

To use the App, you have to log in to the App with either the credentials of your AfyaM account you registered for (email and password), or with your Facebook or Google account credentials.

Once you register for an AfyaM account, we process your Afyam credentials (email address and password) when you log in or authentication.

For a login via Facebook or Google you will be forwarded to Facebook or Google, where you can log in with your Facebook or Twitter credentials and grant the App access to your Personal Data from your public profile (e.g. name, picture etc.) and – if you granted consent in your Facebook/Twitter platform settings – your email address, date of birth, and/or friends list.

These processing activities are necessary for the provision of our service, namely to provide you with dedicated access to your AfyaM profile (see sec. 2 of this data protection information) (legal base: article 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR).

2. AfyaM profile

When you log in to the App for the first time, we collect Personal Data from you in order to create and/or to complete your user profile.

This includes mandatory Personal Data like your name, your email address (if you registered via email/password), gender, as well as information on your fitness goals, preferred activities, and training habits. This processing activity is necessary to provide you with the core functionalities of the App, namely customized workout recommendations and training motivation based on your fitness and training interest, habits, and goals (legal base: article 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR).

In addition, we also process Personal Data, which you voluntarily provide us with, in order to provide you with additional functionalities and/or an even more customized user experience, such as

• date of birth,

• information on weight and height, which is necessary to provide you with a customized calculation of calories you burned during your workouts and/or

• information on your location, which is necessary to provide you with information on trainers and workout courses close to your location

(legal base: article 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR). These optional data can be deleted from your profile at any time (see section VI. 2. of this data protection information). This may, however, have the consequence that the described functions are no longer available.

3. Tracking, recording, and sharing of workouts

If you want to track and record your workouts we are Processing your workout data (e.g. date, duration, distance, or repetitions, speed, calories etc.). This data may be collected directly via

the App or indirectly through access to relevant data (e.g. heart rate) from third party applications (e.g. health app on your device) and/or (fitness) sensors and devices (e.g. GPS and/or gyroscope sensor integrated in your device, external heart rate monitors etc.), provided you granted prior consent that the App can access data from the relevant apps, sensors, and/or devices. This consent can be at any time amended or withdrawn in the account settings.

Once you finished a workout, this workout, including the recorded workout data, is stored in your AfyaM profile.

These processing activities are necessary to provide you with the opportunity to track, record, and share your workouts to the extent you wish (legal base: article 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR).

4. Location-related design of the app

If you granted consent that the app may access the location data of your end device, we will also use this data to adapt the contents of the app or to send out push notifications (see section 5 of this data protection information) in a site-specific manner. This way, we can for example automatically inform you about training opportunities and activities in your current environment and, thus, make your app experience even better (legal basis: article 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR).

You can prevent the location-based design of the app at any time by withdrawing your consent for location access through the app in your device settings. The withdrawal of your consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

5. Push Notifications

If you have granted consent to receive push notifications, we process your device token ID to send you push notifications to your App including information on about for example a new version of the App or on current campaigns (legal base: article 6 para. 1 lit a) GDPR).

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time by disabling the push notifications for the App in your device settings. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

6. Analytics

We process personal data about your last accesses to the App (e.g. IP address, access time, and – if consent is granted to access location data – location of access).

In addition, we use analytic services from Google Ireland Limited (Google Analytics for Firebase), and Facebook Ireland Ltd. (Facebook Analytics) to evaluate and improve the App and its functionalities. These services use cookies and similar tracking technology to collect pseudonymized data on the usage of the App, so called screen visits and events (e.g. like logins, content viewed, started and/or finished workouts etc.). At collection of this data, your IP address is either not collected or anonymized. Data we collect with the help of these services are merged to aggregated reports on the usage of our app (e.g. numbers of users per day, visits/downloads of specific workouts etc.) and cannot be attributed to you.
