BodiMetrics Privacy Policy
Last update August 31, 2017
BodiMetrics designs products and tools that track everyday health and fitness to empower and inspire users to lead healthier, more active lives. This Privacy Policy applies to our personal wellness and electronic body monitoring products (“Devices”); our device firmware (the “Software”); our website is located at www.BodiMetrics.com, (the “Site”) and BodiMetrics mobile application (the “App”). The Devices, Site, Software and App are collectively referred to in this Policy as the “BodiMetrics Service,” and by proceeding to use the BodiMetrics Service you consent that we may process the data that we collect from you in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Because we’re always looking for new and innovative ways to help you achieve your wellness goals, this policy may change over time, but any future changes will not affect data that was collected under a previous version of this policy. If any modifications substantially change your rights, we will send an email summarizing the changes to the address associated with your BodiMetrics account and provide notice on the Site. If something in this policy does not make sense or if you have any questions, please contact us immediately at www.bodimetrics.com/support.
What Data Does BodiMetrics Collect?
WHEN YOU ACTIVATE A DEVICE
When activating a BodiMetrics Device, you will be asked to enter information about yourself, such as birth date, height, weight and gender. We use this information to help you track your wellness metrics – for example, calories burned and distance traveled. Depending upon the specific Device you use, it can collect data such as pulse rate, blood oxygenation, the number of steps you take, your weight, your medication reminders and transmit this data to BodiMetrics App. To see the full list of data that your Device collects, visit our Products Specifications page at www.bodimetrics.com/prouductspecs
WHEN YOU CREATE A BODIMETRICS ACCOUNT
If you want to access data collected by your Device, you must create a BodiMetrics account. When you create a BodiMetrics account, we ask for some personal information, including your email address. Your email address will be your BodiMetrics account user name, which you will use to log-into your account. We do not display your email address to other users. Instead, others will see the name or nickname you enter in your profile settings. You can stop sharing information with us at any time by removing BodiMetrics’ apps from your mobile devices that share data with your account. We will never access your phone’s contact list nor do we store your phone’s contact list.
WHEN YOU VISIT OUR SITES
BodiMetrics collects industry standard data from everyone who visits our Sites—even if you don’t have a BodiMetrics account. This includes log data that automatically records information about your visit, such as your browser type, operating system, the URL of the page that referred you, the different actions you performed, and the IP address you used to access pages on the Site. We use this type of information to provide you with an experience that’s relevant to your location based on the IP address, to prevent Site misuse, and to ensure the Site is working properly. We also may collect data from cookies to improve the user experience.
WHEN YOU SYNC YOUR DEVICE
When you sync your Device through an App or the Software, data recorded on your Device about your activity is transferred from your Device to our servers. This data is stored and used to provide the BodiMetrics Service and is associated with your account. Each time a sync occurs, we log data about the transmission. Some examples of the log data are the sync time and date, device battery level, and the IP address used when syncing.
WHEN YOU MAKE PURCHASES FROM OUR STORE
We do not view or store your credit card information. This is handled by our third-party payment processor. We store your shipping address so we can process your order through our fulfillment partner. If you are logged into your BodiMetrics account when you purchase something on our Site, we associate that order with your BodiMetrics account.
WHEN YOU CONTACT US FOR HELP
Whenever you contact BodiMetrics for help, we collect your name and email address along with additional information you provide in your request so that we can provide you with assistance and improve the BodiMetrics Service. If you contact us when you are already logged in to your account, the web form automatically pre-fills this information, so you don’t have to type it manually. You can also contact BodiMetrics on public forums such as Twitter or Facebook; however, we cannot maintain the privacy of your communication to us if you contact us through these channels.
NO LOCATION BASED SERVICES
The BodiMetrics Service only accesses your location based services to connect your device to mobile apps; we do
not store nor does BodiMetrics use your location for any purpose.
INFORMATION FROM OTHER SOURCES
We do not collect any information about you from other sources outside of your interaction with the BodiMetrics
Service.
How We Use Your Data
BodiMetrics uses your data to provide you with the best experience possible, to help you make the most of your
wellness regime, and to improve and protect the BodiMetrics Service. Here are some examples:
• Height, weight, gender and age are used to estimate the number of calories you burn.
• Contact information is used to send you notifications and to inform you about new features or products we think you would be
interested in. You can opt-out of future communications at anytime.
• Data and logs are used in research to understand and improve the BodiMetrics Device and BodiMetrics Service; to
troubleshoot the BodiMetrics Service; to detect and protect against error, fraud or other criminal activity; and to enforce the
BodiMetrics Terms of Service.
• De-identified data that does not identify you may be used to inform the health community about trends; for marketing and
promotional use; or for sale to interested audiences.
What Data May be Shared with Third Parties?
First and foremost: We don’t sell any data that could identify you. We only share data about you when it is
necessary to provide the BodiMetrics Service, when the data is de-identified and aggregated, or when you direct us
to share it.
DATA THAT COULD IDENTIFY YOU
Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is data that includes a personal identifier like your name, email or address,
or data that could reasonably be linked back to you. We will only share this data under the following circumstances:
• With companies that are contractually engaged in providing us with services, such as order fulfillment, email management and
credit card processing. These companies are obligated by contract to safeguard any PII they receive from us.
• If we believe that disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation, valid legal process (e.g., subpoenas or
warrants served on us), or governmental or regulatory request, to enforce or apply the Terms of Service or Terms of Sale, to
protect the security or integrity of the BodiMetrics Service, and/or to protect the rights, property, or safety of BodiMetrics, its
employees, users, or others. If we are going to release your data, we will do our best to provide you with notice in advance by
email, unless we are prohibited by law from doing so.
• We may disclose or transfer your PII in connection with the sale, merger, bankruptcy, sale of assets or reorganization of our
company. We will notify you if a different company will receive your PII and the promises in this Privacy Policy will apply to
your data as transferred to the new entity.
DATA THAT DOES NOT IDENTIFY YOU (DE-IDENTIFIED DATA)
BodiMetrics may share or sell aggregated, de-identified data that does not identify you, with partners and the public in a variety of ways, such as by providing research or reports about health and wellness. When we provide this information, we perform appropriate procedures so that the data does not identify you and we contractually prohibit
Other Ways You Might Share Your Data
CONTESTS AND GIVEAWAYS
BodiMetrics may offer opportunities to participate in contests, giveaways and other promotions. Any data you submit
in connection with these activities will be treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy, unless the rules for those
offers note otherwise.
SURVEYS
BodiMetrics may also ask you to participate in surveys (processed by BodiMetrics or third parties) that help us understand your use of the BodiMetrics Service. Any PII you provide to BodiMetrics (or supplied by you or BodiMetrics to such third-party survey providers) in connection with these surveys will only be used in relation to that survey and as stated in this policy.
How Long We Save Your Data
We store your PII for as long as you maintain a BodiMetrics Account.
How to Edit or Modify Data
Data that you provide to BodiMetrics through the Site can be modified from your dashboard or BodiMetrics account
preferences. If you remove data from your BodiMetrics account, it will no longer appear to you or others who use the
BodiMetrics Service. Backups of that data will remain associated with your BodiMetrics account and in our archive
servers.
How To Deactivate Your BodiMetrics Account
You can deactivate your BodiMetrics account by contacting Customer Support at www.bodimetrics.com/support.
When you do, data that can identify you will be removed from the BodiMetrics Service, including but not limited to
your email, name, and other information. Backup copies of this data will be removed from our server based upon an
automated schedule, which means it may persist in our archive for a short period. BodiMetrics may continue to use
your de-identified data after you deactivate your account.
BodiMetrics’ Policies for Children
BodiMetrics is not directed at persons under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any PII from children under
13. If you are aware of a user under the age of 13 using BodiMetrics, please contact us immediately at
www.bodimetrics.com/support.
Can I Opt-out Of Receiving BodiMetrics Emails?
Of course! You can opt-out of receiving contests, giveaways, surveys and promotional emails by changing the notification preferences in your account settings or by unsubscribing via the “Unsubscribe” link in any BodiMetrics email. Opting-out of these emails will not end transmission of important service-related emails that are necessary to your use of the BodiMetrics Service.
How Does BodiMetrics Keep My Data Safe?
BodiMetrics uses a combination of technical and administrative security controls to maintain the security of your
data. If you have a security-related concern, please contact Customer Support.

COOKIE POLICY
We are generally a healthy bunch, but some BodiMetrics employees like to eat cookies. In addition, we use cookies
and other technologies like pixel tags and web beacons to improve the functionality of the BodiMetrics Service.
Technologies We Use
Cookies are text files that are sent by servers to web browsers and stored on your computer. They tell us which parts of the BodiMetrics Service you’ve visited so we can figure out which promotions you may like to see or to alert you to software compatibility issues.
Web beacons and pixel tags are images embedded in a webpage or email for the purpose of measuring and analyzing usage and activity. BodiMetrics, or third party service providers acting on our behalf, may use web beacons and pixel tags to help us analyze usage and improve our functionality.
Social media tools, like widgets and plug-ins, are used so you can share information from BodiMetrics on other sites such Facebook and Twitter. These interactive mini-programs collect your IP address, record the pages you visit on our Sites, and set cookies that will enable the widget to function properly. Your interactions with these widgets are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing them, not by BodiMetrics’s Privacy Policy. We also use the Facebook and Twitter pixel tags to help us understand how effective our marketing is on those sites.
