9. DO NOT TRACK POLICY

California law requires operators of websites and online services to disclose how they respond to "Do Not Track" signals. Some browsers have built-in "Do Not Track" features. Most of these features, when enabled, send a signal or preference to the website or online service the user is visiting, indicating that the user does not want to be tracked. Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret Do Not Track signals, we do not currently respond to Do Not Track signals.

10. COOKIES AND DATA STORAGE

A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you browse the website.

 

10.1 Third Party Cookies. California law requires operators of websites and online services to disclose whether other third parties may collect personally identifiable information about an individual's online activities from their website or service. Please be advised that we do not allow third parties to use cookies or other technologies to collect information about an identified User's use of the Good Coach Services. We do not share with third parties any information that could easily identify you (such as your name, email or phone address).

 

10.2 Good Coach Website Cookies. We may use cookies in the Web Application and on the Good Coach Website, in particular for analytical purposes. We primarily use "local storage" technology for operational purposes.

 

Strictly necessary (operational) data - We store this data using "local storage" technology. This is necessary to enable you to navigate the Web Application and the Good Coach Website and to use their functions correctly, such as, but not limited to, accessing secure areas of the Web Application. Without the storage of this data, the Good Coach Services cannot be provided. This data does not include information that identifies you.

 

User Preference Data - This data allows us to remember choices you have made (such as your email or the language you have chosen) and provide improved, more personal features of the Good Coach Services. This information may be collected using "local storage" technology and is anonymous and cannot track User activity on other websites.

 

User behavior information (analytics) data - We store this data in cookies or through "local storage" technology. They include information about how Visitors and Users use the site, for example, which subpages they visit most often and whether they receive error messages. This data does not include information that identifies the Visitor or User. All information collected is aggregated and anonymous. They are used solely to improve the performance of the website.

 

Cookies are stored for no longer than two years, while data stored in "local storage" technology is stored until deleted by the User. The User can delete all data stored by both cookies and local storage technology by deleting the browser history. Please note, however, that by doing so you may lose the information you have saved (e.g. saved login data, page preferences).

11. DATA SECURITY

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the information provided to us, both during transmission and after receipt. Supplier maintains appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect Personal Data from accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss, unauthorized alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, misuse, and any other unlawful forms of processing of Personal Data in Supplier's possession.

 

This includes, for example, firewalls, password protection, encryption and other access control and authentication measures. We use SSL technology to encrypt data during transmission over the public Internet, and we use application layer security features to further anonymize Personal Data.

 

In particular, we do not store or transmit user passwords in plain text, they are stored in the database as double hashed and salted keys. Sensitive data such as messages sent by users, training plan content, notes and health descriptions are additionally encrypted before being stored in the database. Workout files uploaded by external services are stored in a way that makes it impossible to easy associate them with a particular User.

 

While we make every effort to store your information securely, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the security of information transmitted to us or stored on the Service, and you do so at your own risk. Supplier also cannot guarantee that Personal Data will not be accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed as a result of a breach of any of our physical, technical or managerial safeguards. If you believe that your Personal Data has been compromised, you should contact us as described in the "How to Contact Us" section.

 

If we become aware of a breach of security systems, we will notify you and the authorities of the occurrence in accordance with applicable law.

12. DATA RETENTION PERIOD

We will retain Personal Data collected from you for as long as your account has not been deleted or as long as we need it to fulfill the purposes for which we originally collected it, unless otherwise required by law. We will retain and use information as necessary to fulfill our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements as follows:

- The contents of deleted accounts are deleted at the time of deletion,

- Backups are kept for 6 months,

- Billing information is stored for a period of 6 years after it is transferred to the Supplier in accordance with Polish law.

13. DATA STORAGE LOCATION

The service is provided from a server physically located in Germany. The databases are also located in the Good Coach Service data center located in Germany.

14. DATA CONTROLLER AND DATA PROCESSOR

Supplier does not own any Customer Data submitted by a Customer or User through the Good Coach Service. Only the Customer or User is authorized to access, retrieve, and direct the use of such Customer Data, except when, due to the nature of the Good Coach Service, the Customer shares such data via the Service with another person (e.g., an Athlete shares data with a Coach). Supplier is largely unaware of what Customer Data is actually stored or shared by a Customer or User on the Service and does not have direct access to such Customer Data except with Customer's consent or to the extent necessary to provide Services to Customer and its Users.

 

Because Supplier does not collect or specify the use of any Personal Data submitted to the Service by Coaches and Athletes, and because Supplier does not specify the purposes for which such Personal Data is collected, the means by which such Personal Data is collected, or the means by which such Personal Data is used, Supplier is not acting as a data controller within the meaning of the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679, hereinafter "GDPR") and does not have related obligations under the GDPR. The Supplier should only be treated as a Data Processor on behalf of its Customers and Users in relation to any Customer Data containing Personal Data that is subject to the requirements of the GDPR. Except as provided in this Privacy Policy, Supplier shall not transfer or otherwise make available to third parties any Customer Personal Data held in connection with the provision of Good Coach Services.

 

Good Coach is not responsible for the content of Personal Data contained in Customer Data or other information stored on its servers at the discretion of Customer or User, nor is Good Coach responsible for the manner in which Customer or User collects, shares, distributes or otherwise processes such information.

 

If you need a signed Data Processing Addendum in addition to the Terms and Privacy Policy, you can find the document signed on behalf of Good Coach contact us.
