2. Information we collect
2.1 Account data
- First name, last name, email, password (stored hashed with bcrypt — never in plain text).
- Role (athlete / coach / admin).
- Profile photo (optional).
2.2 Physical profile data
- Sex, date of birth, height, body weight.
- Activity level, years of training experience.
- Previous injuries, relevant medical conditions (medical clearance, where applicable).
2.3 Training data
- Goals, target races, disciplines, available days.
- Completed sessions, distance, pace, heart rate, cadence, power, elevation.
- Strength sets logged (weight, reps, RPE).
- Subjective feedback (perceived effort, pain, mood).
2.4 Connected wearable data
If you connect an external device or service, we receive the activity data that service sends us through its official API:
- Garmin Connect: activities, wellness metrics and planned workouts, through Garmin's official APIs. See the details in 2.4.2 Garmin connection.
- Strava: activities and associated metrics. We process this information in accordance with the Strava API terms.
- intervals.icu: activities and planned workouts, exchanged through its official API only after you explicitly authorize the connection. We read your activities and, at your coach's direction, write planned workouts to your calendar.
- Google Health Connect (Android): exercise sessions you share from your device.
- Apple HealthKit (iOS): exercise sessions and associated metrics, only if you expressly authorize each data category.
2.4.1 Strava connection
- What data we receive: your basic Strava profile data and your activities (type, date, distance, duration, pace, heart rate, cadence, power, elevation and route).
- How we receive it: only after you authorize the connection with the "Connect with Strava" button, through Strava's official API. When you connect we import your recent activities, and afterwards we receive new ones as Strava notifies us that you uploaded them.
- How to withdraw consent: at any time, with the Strava "Disconnect" button in the app or from strava.com, under Settings → My Apps.
- How to request deletion: when you disconnect Strava, revoke access from strava.com or delete your Zonda account, we automatically delete the activities and credentials obtained from Strava. You can also request it by writing to soporte@zonda.fit.
- Confirmation: once deletion is complete, we confirm it to you in writing by email.
- Your coach: the coach of the team you joined sees your activities to review your training. We do not sell Strava data.
- The Strava Privacy Policy still applies to the data you keep on Strava and prevails over any difference with this policy.
- Strava may monitor and collect usage data related to our use of its API and may use it for any business purpose, internal or external, including improving its API and platform, providing support and ensuring compliance with its API Agreement.
2.4.2 Garmin connection
- How we connect: only after you authorize the connection from the app and accept the permissions on Garmin's screen, through the official APIs of the Garmin Connect Developer Program. Garmin sends us new data as you sync your device; we do not import your history from before the connection.
- What data we receive (Activity API): your activities: type, date, distance, duration, pace, heart rate, cadence, power, elevation, route and per-second samples.
- What data we receive (Health API): daily summaries (resting heart rate, average stress, steps and calories), sleep (duration and score), overnight heart-rate variability (HRV) and VO2max. We only receive the categories you authorize on Garmin.
- What data we send (Training API): if you agree, the workouts your coach plans for you (steps, pace or heart-rate targets and notes), so they appear in your Garmin Connect calendar and on your watch.
- Consent to send data to Garmin: before sending planned workouts to Garmin, we ask for your express consent in the app. Data sent to Garmin Connect is governed by Garmin's privacy notice. You must not send this data to your Garmin Connect account if you are restricted from doing so.
- What we use it for: logging the sessions you complete, showing you load, form and recovery statistics, and letting your coach adjust your plan.
- Who we share it with: the coach of the team you joined, to review your training. We do not sell Garmin data or share it for advertising purposes.
- Artificial intelligence: see section 4. We never use Garmin data, or anything derived from it, to train AI models.
- How to withdraw consent: sending workouts and AI use are turned off separately under Profile → Connections → Garmin. To end the connection, use the Garmin "Disconnect" button in the app or go to Garmin Connect → Settings → Connected Apps: we stop receiving data and ask Garmin to remove the connection.
- What happens to data already received: if you disconnect, imported activities remain in your training history. If you want us to delete them, along with the wellness metrics received from Garmin, write to soporte@zonda.fit: we delete them and confirm it to you by email.
- Retention: Garmin data is retained only while you keep your Zonda account or until you request its deletion, whichever comes first. If you delete your account we erase it; copies in encrypted backups are erased within 30 days.
- The Garmin Privacy Policy still applies to the data you keep on Garmin Connect.
2.5 Payment data (only for coaches and athletes with a paid subscription)
- MercadoPago transaction identifiers and data on payments received/made.
- Bank transfer receipts you upload to the platform.
- We never store full card numbers, CVV or banking credentials — processing is MercadoPago's responsibility.
2.6 Technical data
- Device identifier and push token for notifications (if you authorize them).
- Error logs and anonymized usage metrics for diagnostics (via Sentry).
- IP, browser and operating system for security and fraud prevention.
3. How we use your information
- Generate personalized training plans with artificial intelligence (see section 4).
- Let your coach review your progress and adjust your plan.
- Show statistics and charts of load, form and fitness.
- Send push notifications related to your routine (if you authorize them).
- Process charges and reconcile payments between coaches and athletes.
- Operate, maintain, secure and improve the platform.
4. Use of artificial intelligence
AI Transparency Statement. Some Zonda features process your training data with third-party artificial intelligence models. Here we explain which ones, what for, and how to object.
- Which features use AI: generating and adjusting training plans (running, cycling, swimming, triathlon and strength), race strategies, nutritional estimates of meals in Zonda Strength, and adjusting plans based on the feedback you leave after training.
- What data it processes: goals, level, disciplines, available days, physical profile and training metrics (recent volume, paces, heart rate, VO2max), which may come from your connected devices, including Garmin. We do not send your contact details.
- Who processes it: Google Cloud (Vertex AI, Gemini models) and Anthropic (Claude API), as providers processing data on our behalf. Under their enterprise customer terms, they do not use that data to train their models.
- Human review: what the AI generates is a proposal. In Zonda Run, your coach reviews and can modify every plan before assigning it to you.
- No model training: we do not use your data (including Garmin data and anything derived from it) to train, evaluate or improve AI models, and we do not include it in datasets.
- Prompts and outputs: prompts, responses and any outputs generated using Garmin data are treated as Garmin data: they are not retained for, nor used in, any AI training, fine-tuning, evaluation or benchmarking, by us or by our providers.
- Your consent: before we process your Garmin data with AI features, we ask for your explicit consent in the app. You can withdraw it at any time under Profile → Connections → Garmin, or by writing to soporte@zonda.fit; from then on your Garmin data is no longer processed by AI.
- Your other data: you can ask us at any time, by writing to soporte@zonda.fit, not to process your other training data with AI; from then on your coach builds your plan without AI.
- Updates: we review this statement when applicable laws or the policies of connected services, such as Garmin, change.
5. Service providers (third parties that process data on our behalf)
We do not sell or share your information for commercial or advertising purposes. We use the following providers solely to operate the platform:
- Google Cloud (Vertex AI, Gemini models): AI generation of training plans and race strategies. We send only the necessary training data (goals, level, disciplines, training metrics), not your contact details.
- Anthropic (Claude API): other AI features of the Service, under the same rule of sending only the necessary data.
- MercadoPago: payment processing. Their privacy policy applies to the handling of your payment methods.
- Cloudflare: CDN, protection and encrypted backups.
- Expo / EAS: hosting and delivery of push notifications.
- Sentry: error tracking. We filter sensitive information before sending.
6. Information shared between athlete and coach
If you subscribe to a coach on Zonda Run, the coach has access to your training information (sessions, metrics, subjective feedback, connected wearable data) for the sole purpose of coaching you. The coach has no access to your payment data or to sensitive personal information unrelated to training.
When you end the relationship with a coach, you can revoke their access at any time from the app.
7. Sensitive health data (HealthKit, medical documents)
If you upload sensitive information — such as medical clearance, injury records, medical photographs or Apple HealthKit data — that information:
- Is stored encrypted in private buckets with authorized access only.
- Is accessible only to you, your coach (if you shared it with them) and Zonda administrators with justified cause.
- Is never used for advertising, sales, cross-selling or AI model training.
- Complies with Argentina's Personal Data Protection Act (Law 25.326) and, where applicable, with LGPD (Brazil).
8. Storage and security
- Servers located in Argentina with encrypted HTTPS/TLS 1.2+ connections.
- Daily encrypted backups with 30-day retention.
- Authentication tokens with short expiry (access 2h, refresh 90d) and automatic rotation.
- Auditing of access to sensitive data.
- Adherence to the OWASP Top 10 framework throughout the development cycle.
9. Your rights
Regardless of where you are located, you may exercise the following rights over your data:
- Access: obtain a copy of all your information.
- Rectification: correct inaccurate data.
- Erasure: delete your account and all associated data.
- Portability: export your data in a readable format (JSON / CSV).
- Restriction: restrict the use of certain data.
- Objection: object to processing in specific cases.
- Withdraw consent: disconnect wearables, deny notifications, etc.
To exercise any right, write to us at soporte@zonda.fit. We respond within 30 days.
10. Minimum age
Zonda is not directed to children under 13. If you are between 13 and 18, you need consent from a parent or guardian. If we discover that we have collected data from a minor without authorization, we delete it.
11. International transfers
Some of our providers (Google Cloud, Anthropic, Sentry, Cloudflare) process data outside Argentina. In all cases, they have contractual agreements with equivalent levels of protection and comply with the applicable international standards. For transfers of personal data from the European Economic Area, Switzerland or the United Kingdom, we rely on the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission (and their UK equivalents).
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy. If the changes are material, we will notify you by email and/or within the app before they take effect. The "Last updated" date above indicates the current version.
