When you create an account, we ask you to provide your email address and name. You can choose a nickname as name instead of the full name if you wish.

We do not transfer any personal data (position, health data, activity information) from your watch to our server during the download process of the route data. Outside the download process which is clearly shown the watch does not transfer any data to our server or any other server.

If you use the Remember me feature during the log in process, a cookie is set on your computer to save your credentials and to recognize you the next time. If you do not accept cookies please do not use the Remember me feature.

If you contact us by email or the online feedback form we collect these data and response to you via your email address.

We request individuals under 16 not provide personal data to BeFitter. If we learn that we have collected the personal data from a child under 16, we will take steps to delete the information as soon as possible.

If we do not detect any activity (login or download of a track) for more than two years on an account we will delete this account including all data.

The server is hosted in the European Union by Strato AG. The data are managed and protected according German and European laws. The server and the program (PHP, MySQL database) use state of the art techniques to prevent unauthorized access to the data.
