Privacy Policy
1. Information We Collect
When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and basic profile information. When you connect Garmin Connect, we access your workouts, activity history, and — where Garmin supplies it — wellness data such as sleep, HRV, resting heart rate, and body-composition readings, as authorized by you. If the optional Strava connection is available to you and you enable it, we access Strava activity data to add coverage for workouts Garmin did not supply.
We also collect data you provide directly: race goals, training preferences, athlete notes, workout feedback (RPE, comments), schedule availability, and messages you exchange with your coach.
If you choose to enable cycle awareness (Women's health), we store the menstrual-cycle information you provide or that Garmin syncs. This is strictly opt-in, off by default, and used only to add context to your plan.
2. How We Use Your Data
Your data is used to:
- Shape personalized weekly schedules with an AI planning pass, then materialize and validate workouts with deterministic code and an authored workout library
- Build and maintain your athlete profile and memory
- Run AI assessments of your fitness and training patterns
- Calculate training metrics (fitness, fatigue, form) and track progress
- Sync workouts between PaceBeats and connected platforms
- Send transactional and product emails (which you can control)
- Operate, secure, and improve the platform
3. Data Storage & Security
Your data is stored in a PostgreSQL database (hosted on Neon) with encryption in transit and at rest. Third-party access tokens (e.g. Garmin and Strava) are additionally encrypted at the application layer. Authentication uses secure, HTTP-only session cookies.
We do not sell your personal data or training data. Your athlete memory, workout feedback, and wellness data are used only to run your training experience.
4. Third-Party Processors
We share data with a small set of service providers only as needed to run PaceBeats:
- Garmin Connect — to import activities and available wellness data, and to sync supported planned workouts. The optional Strava connection, where available, imports activity data to fill coverage gaps. You can disconnect either service in Settings.
- Anthropic — the AI models that power weekly schedule proposals, assessments, and coaching replies. Data sent to the models is used only for those features and is not used to train third-party models.
- Stripe — to process subscription payments. Card details are handled by Stripe; we never see or store them.
- Brevo — to deliver transactional and product emails.
- PostHog — privacy-friendly product analytics, loaded only after you accept analytics cookies (see below).
- Sentry — to capture technical errors so we can fix them.
5. Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access and export your data — download a full JSON copy from Settings → Account & Billing.
- Delete your account and all associated data — self-serve from the same page, effective immediately.
- Disconnect third-party integrations at any time
- Opt out of analytics cookies and control which emails you receive
- Correct inaccurate profile information
You can also exercise any of these rights by contacting us at the address below.
