HealthKit Data

Venturi integrates with Apple HealthKit to read and write workout data. We only access HealthKit data you explicitly authorize. You can revoke this permission at any time through the Health app settings.

We use HealthKit data solely to:

• Sync your workout sessions to Venturi
• Save new activities you record in the app
• Provide activity tracking and analysis

We never sell or share your HealthKit data with third parties for marketing or advertising.

Garmin API Data

When you connect your Garmin account, we receive data you authorize through Garmin (activity, health, and device data). We use Garmin API data only to:

• Sync your Garmin activities and health metrics into Venturi
• Display sessions, routes, and stats (distance, duration, heart rate) within Venturi
• Personalize your experience (linking activities to foil spots and gear)

We do not sell or share your Garmin data with third parties for marketing or advertising. You can disconnect your Garmin account at any time from the app.

Strava and Third-Party Integrations

Venturi supports optional integrations with Strava and other third-party services. Connecting these accounts lets us import activity data to display in your Venturi feed. You can revoke access at any time from the app or the third party's settings.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. Sharing may occur only in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: trusted third parties that help us operate the app (cloud hosting, analytics like PostHog and Sentry, payment processing via RevenueCat)
• Legal Requirements: when required by law, court order, or government regulation
• Business Transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets
• With Your Consent: when you explicitly authorize us to share information

Public Profile and Activities

Some information you provide may be publicly visible, including:

• Your rider profile (name, profile photo, public activities)
• Activities shared on foil spot pages (unless "Keep my sessions private" is enabled)
• Reviews and ratings you post

You can control privacy settings for your sessions in the app's Profile settings.

Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption, secure data transmission, and access controls. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to:

• Access and update your personal information
• Delete your account and associated data
• Opt out of certain data collection (analytics)
• Revoke HealthKit, Garmin, or Strava permissions
• Export your data

To exercise these rights, email app@venturisports.com or submit a data deletion request.

Children's Privacy

Venturi is not intended for users under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us immediately.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the date above. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
