Privacy Policy for KUNDO
This Privacy Policy explains how KUNDO ("we," "our," or "us") collects, uses, processes, and protects your personal information when you use the KUNDO mobile application and related services (collectively, the "Service"). By using KUNDO, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
1. Information We Collect
A. Information You Provide Directly
Account Information: When registering an account, we collect your email address, username, password, and basic profile details (such as profile photo, bio, and preferred display language).
Signup Questionnaire: After registering, we ask which sports you do, how hard you usually train, the country and city you train in, and — optionally — a phone number. Every answer except your sports may be skipped, and skipping changes nothing but how well we can order the groups and workouts we show you. Your country and city are part of your profile and are visible to other members. Your phone number is not: it is stored separately, in a location only your own account can read, and KUNDO does not display it to other members or to the owner of a group you join.
Workout & Activity Data: Information regarding your tracked activities, including workout type (Running, Yoga, Pilates, Strength), duration, distance, pace splits, elevation, completion timestamps, and personal records.
Social & Community Interactions: Content you post to community feeds, group chats, comments, likes/kudos, challenge participation, and leaderboard rankings.
User Preferences: App settings such as language selection (English, Hebrew, Arabic, French, Spanish or Russian), appearance preferences (Dark/Light mode), distance units, and privacy preferences.
B. Information Collected Automatically
Precise Location Data: With your explicit device permission, we collect precise GPS location data during active workout sessions to calculate distance, route, and pacing metrics, and to facilitate the "Live Safety Tracking" feature when initiated by you.
Device & Usage Information: Device model, operating system version, unique device identifiers, IP address, crash logs, and interaction timestamps.
Push Notification Tokens: Identifiers necessary to deliver workout reminders, group event alerts, and system notices.
2. How We Use Your Information
We process your data for the following operational and social purposes:
Core Athletic Tracking: To accurately log, compute, and display workout metrics, route maps, and performance analytics.
Social Features & Groups: To enable group discovery, group membership management, event scheduling, community feed displays, and competitive leaderboards.
Safety & Live Sharing: To generate temporary live tracking links that you can voluntarily share with selected contacts.
Reminders & Notifications: To send scheduled workout reminders, event updates, and safety alerts.
App Optimization: To diagnose crashes, fix native runtime bugs, and enhance user experience across varying device configurations and language layouts (RTL/LTR).
3. Location Data Practices
Active Tracking: GPS data is recorded only while an active workout session is running.
Safety Tracking: If you choose to use the "Share Live Location" feature, your coordinates are transmitted to generate a temporary tracking link accessible only to individuals with whom you share the URL.
Permissions: You can modify or revoke location tracking access at any time through your iOS device settings (Settings > KUNDO > Location). Revoking location access will prevent route mapping and distance calculation for distance-based sports.
4. Privacy Controls & Data Sharing
A. Privacy Settings
Private Account Toggle: Enabling the "Private Account" setting restricts your profile visibility, workout history, and personal stats so they are not discoverable to non-approved community members.
Group Visibility: Workouts posted within specific groups are visible only to fellow members of those groups.
B. Third-Party Service Providers
We do not sell your personal data. We share information only with trusted third-party infrastructure providers necessary to operate the application:
Cloud & Database Infrastructure: Backend cloud hosting and databases (e.g., Google Firebase / Firestore) for secure authentication, storage, and synchronization.
Push Notification Services: Apple Push Notification service (APNs) and related Expo services to deliver local and remote notifications.
C. Legal Compliance
We may disclose information if required to do so by law, court order, or governmental authority, or to protect the safety, rights, or property of KUNDO, its users, or the general public.
5. Your Rights and Data Management
Data Export: You can export a full copy of your profile information and historical workout data directly within the app (Profile > the gear icon for Settings > Export my data) in JSON format.
Data Correction: You may edit your profile information and account details directly in the profile settings screen.
Account & Data Deletion: You have the right to request permanent deletion of your account and all associated workout logs, chat messages, and personal data. You can initiate this in the app settings or by contacting our support team. Upon confirmation, your data will be permanently wiped from our production databases within 30 days.
6. Data Security and Retention
We implement administrative and technical safeguards (such as encrypted data transit via HTTPS/TLS and secure cloud database access rules) designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. We retain your personal data for as long as your account remains active or as necessary to provide you with the Service.
7. Children's Privacy
KUNDO is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 13 (or under 16 in certain jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we discover that a child has provided us with personal information, we will take immediate steps to delete such data and terminate the associated account.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect modifications in our features, native integrations, or legal obligations. When material updates are made, we will notify you through an in-app notice, push notification, or an updated "Last Updated" timestamp at the top of this policy.
