Please note that we intend to transfer your personal data to the United States of America - a country outside the EEA, which lacks an adequacy decision by the European Commission as required by the GDPR. We provide all reasonably available technical and organizational means for protecting your data. 

When Activbody acts as a Data Controller, we will explicitly ask for your informed consent at sign-up before transferring your personal data to the USA. 

However, you should consider the following information regarding the data transfers to the USA:

Reasons for transferring your data to the USA

The transfer of personal data outside the EEA to the USA is necessary, so that we are able to provide our services to you. In addition, your data may be required by Activbody in order to provide continuous technical and customer support to you.

As a US-based company, our servers and main operational staff are located in California, USA. Therefore, providing you with our services means that some of your personal data will be processed in the USA.

Risks related to the data transfer to the USA

Regardless of the efforts by Activbody, the transfer of your data to the United States involves certain risks. United States security agencies may be granted access to digital information travelling across the Atlantic Ocean, under certain US government programs such as UPSTREAM and PRISM. While Activbody employs all reasonably available technical and organizational measures to protect the personal data of our customers, we may be unable to prevent such officially authorized access by government bodies. 

The USA may not be able to provide the same level of protection to your personal data compared to the EU standards laid down in the GDPR. 

Persons who will receive your data in the USA

The following entities will have access to your personal data in the USA:

Activbody Inc.

Service providers similar to Google LLC, Cloudflare, Inc., etc.

MongoDB Atlas

Hubspot

Please note that in some cases we may not be able to control the data access and surveillance measures taken by the US government and intelligence agencies. Thus, we cannot guarantee that such agencies will not have access to your personal data through the government programs described above. 

Categories of personal data to be transferred to the USA

We will transfer to the USA the following categories of personal data if you have provided us with such data:

Your contact information and correspondence data

Your profile information – username, height, weight, age, sex, etc.

Your app usage data collected through Firebase or other similar means

Website usage data

Physical health data

Community posts data

Data related to surveys and sweepstakes or contests

Where Activbody processes personal data as a Data Processor on behalf of another Controller, we conclude an explicit Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with the Controller, which incorporates the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), adopted by the European Commission pursuant to Article 45 of the GDPR. 

Withdrawal of consent

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Please note, that should you decide to exercise this right and withdraw your consent to the transfer, we would no longer be able to effectively provide our services to you. You can exercise your right to withdraw your consent by sending an email stating your decision to dpo@activbody.com. We will respect your decision, no questions asked.

The applicable legislation grants the data subjects a number of individual rights that can be exercised. Please note that these rights apply fully to EU data subjects. For your rights outside of the European Union, you should consult your local legislation. 

If you cannot exercise any of these rights through the application settings, you can simply contact us with a request at dpo@activbody.com.

Here is a list of the rights you have:

Right of confirmation - you have the right to obtain from us confirmation as to whether or not Personal data concerning you is being processed.

Adjustment – in case your data are inaccurate, you can ask for them to be edited;

Erasure of personal data (the right “to be forgotten”) – you have the right to request the erasure of your personal data; this right could be limited in view of your contractual relations with Activbody or in the purpose of the execution of your contractual/legal obligations by the company. Please note that some information cannot be erased upon your request as there may still be legal basis for its processing by Activbody. We are required to keep certain purchasing information by law, in performance of our general, accounting and tax obligations. Additionally, some information like your correspondence with us, along with your contact data may be kept for as long as Activbody has a legitimate interest for processing it such as the exercise and defense of legal claims.

Portability of personal data between companies – when processing is based on a contractual obligation or consent and when it is done automatically, you have the right to receive your personal data from Activbody in a structured, widely used and machine-readable format, as well as the right your personal data to be given to another company at your request when it is technically feasible;

You have the right to prevent Activbody from making a decision for you on the basis of automatized processing or profiling – you can object to the processing of your personal data on the basis of the automatized processing;

Right to defense through judicial or administrative proceedings – in case you consider your rights related to personal data and privacy violated, you have the right to a petition to your local data protection government body (if such has been established in your jurisdiction. Here is a list of data protection bodies in the European Economic Area: https://edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/board/members_en

You can request that we limit our processing of your Personal data where one of the following applies:

you think your personal data is inaccurate, for a period enabling us to verify the accuracy of your Personal data;

We will inform you about those recipients if you request it. We will arrange all the necessary measures in any individual cases.

Right to object

You have the right to object, at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing of personal data concerning you, which is based on Activbody’s legitimate interest. 

After an objection from you, Activbody will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claim

We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect the confidentiality and security of information transmitted to us, including Personal Information and Usage Data. However, no data transmission over the Internet or other network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under the age of 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently received Personal Information from a child under the age of 13, we will delete such information from our records. California users under the age of 18 may request the removal of their content or information publicly posted on the Web Sites or our Products and Services by e-mailing us at service@activbody.com.

We allow carefully-selected third parties to set cookies during your visit to our website: These third parties are some of our Service Providers that may use their own cookies, anonymous identifiers, or other tracking technology in connection with the services they perform on our behalf.

What are ‘Cookies’? Why do we use cookies?

For almost any modern website to work properly, it needs to collect certain basic information on its users. To do this, a site will create files known as cookies – which are small text files – on its users’ computers. These cookies are designed to allow the website to recognize its users on subsequent visits, or to authorize other designated websites to recognize these users for a particular purpose. That improves the browsing experience for you and enables us to tailor better products and services to you and other website visitors. Cookies are stored locally on your computer or mobile device.

Here are some more examples of how and why we use cookies:

remembering client’s information necessary to log in;

analyzing how you use our site which helps us to troubleshoot any problems and to monitor our own performance;

for the purposes of security and complying to the settings of your software (e.g. so our website can load on your device);

gathering data about visits to the website, including numbers of visitors and visits, length of time spent on the site, pages clicked on or where visitors have come from.

What cookies do we use?

There are two types of cookies:

Persistent cookies remain on a user’s device for a set period of time specified in the cookie. They are activated each time that the user visits the website that created that particular cookie.

Session cookies are temporary. They allow website operators to link the actions of a user during a browser session. A browser session starts when a user opens the browser window and finishes when they close the browser window. Once you close the browser, all session cookies are deleted.

Cookies also have, broadly speaking, four different functions and can be categorized as follows: ‘strictly necessary’ cookies, ‘performance’ cookies, ‘functionality’ cookies and ‘targeting’ or ‘advertising’ cookies.

Strictly necessary cookies are essential to navigate around a website and use its features. Without them, you wouldn’t be able to use basic services like registration or shopping baskets. These cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you’ve been on the internet.

Examples of how we use ‘strictly necessary’ cookies include:

Setting unique identifiers for each unique visitor, so site numbers can be analyzed.

Allowing you to sign in to Activbody’ websites, apps or digital platforms as a registered user.

Performance cookies collect data for statistical purposes on how visitors use a website; they don’t contain personal information such as names and email addresses, and are used to improve your user experience of a website.

Here are some examples of how we use performance cookies:

Gathering data about visits to the website, including numbers of visitors and visits, length of time spent on the site, pages clicked on or where visitors have come from.

For comparison with other websites using data collected by industry-accepted measurement and research companies.

Information supplied by performance cookies helps us understand how you use the website; for example, whether or not you have visited before, what you looked at or clicked on and how you found us. We can then use this data to help improve our services. We generally use independent analytics companies to perform these services for us and when this is the case, these cookies may be set by a third-party company (third-party cookies).

If you have registered with the website we can combine the data from the web analytics services and their cookies with the information you have supplied to us, so that we can make your experience more personal by recommending certain products or services to you based on your reading behavior or tailoring your emails with content you might find more interesting. We would only do this if you have given us permission to communicate with you. Sometimes the data used from the web analytics companies has been collected before you registered or signed in. In these cases, if we use this data to identify you, we use it only in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Functional cookies allow users to customize how a website looks for them: they can remember usernames, language preferences and regions, and can be used to provide more personal services like local weather reports and traffic news.

Here are some examples of how we use functionality cookies:

Storing your user preferences on Your Account page

Remembering if you’ve been to the site before so that messages intended for first-time users are not displayed to you.

Advertising and targeting cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you but can also limit the number of times you see an advertisement and be used to chart the effectiveness of an ad campaign by tracking users’ clicks. They can also provide security in transactions. They are usually placed by third-party advertising networks with a website operator’s permission, but can be placed by the operator themselves. They can remember that you have visited a website, and this information can be shared with other organizations, including other advertisers. They cannot determine who you are though, as the data collected is never linked to your profile. 

The two main ways we use advertising and targeting cookies are set out below:

Interest-based advertising (or online behavioral advertising) is where cookies are placed on your device by our third party service providers which remember your web browsing activity and group together your interests in order to provide you with targeted advertisements which are more relevant to you when you visit Activbody websites. Your previous web browsing activity can also be used to infer things about you, such as your demographics (age, gender etc.). This information may also be used to make the advertising on our websites more relevant to you.

‘Retargeting’ is a form of interest-based advertising that enables our advertising partners to show you advertisements selected based on your online browsing activity away from the website. This allows companies to advertise to people who previously visited their website. These cookies will usually be placed on your device by third-party advertising networks.

Without these cookies, online advertisements you encounter will be less relevant to you and your interests.

Who will have access to the cookies?

The cookies can be accessed by Activbody IT department and, exceptionally, by other Activbody employees where access is strictly necessary for the performance of their professional duties.

How can I exercise control over the cookies? What happens if I disable cookies?

Except for the cookies which are strictly necessary for the normal functioning of the website, you can disable all other types of cookies.

However, if you do that some features of this site may not work as intended.

You can alter the settings of your browser to erase one, more or all cookies or prevent automatic acceptance of cookies for the future.
