Information MevsYou Collects

MevsYou collects information about you, including information that directly or indirectly identifies

you, if you or your other members choose to share it with MevsYou. We receive information in a few

different ways, including when you track, complete or upload activities using the Services. MevsYou

also collects information about how you use the Services. There are also several opportunities for

you to share information about yourself, your friends, and your activities with MevsYou. For

example:

Account, Profile, Activity, and Use Information

We collect basic account information such as your name, email address, date of birth, gender,

weight, username and password that helps secure and provide you with access to our Services.

Profile, activity and use information is collected about you when you choose to upload a picture or

video, activity (including date, time and geo-location information) or post, join or participate in a

challenge, add your equipment usage, view and comment on others’ challenges, or otherwise use

the Services.

We use your contact information so we can respond to your support requests and comments.

Location Information

We collect and process location information when you sign up for and use the Services. We do not

track your device location while you are not using MevsYou, but to provide MevsYou’s core Services,

it is necessary for us to track your device location while you use MevsYou. If you would like to stop

the device location tracking, you may do so at any time by adjusting your device settings.

Content You Share

We gather information from the photos, videos, posts, comments, kudos, likes, ratings, peer

verifications, reviews, reports, and other content you share on the Services, including when you

participate in partners or other user’s challenges or channels.

Contacts Information

You can choose to add your contacts’ information by connecting your contacts from your mobile

device or social networking accounts to MevsYou. If you choose to share your contacts with

MevsYou, MevsYou will, in accordance with your instructions, access and store your contacts’

information to identify connections and help you connect with them.

Connected Devices and Apps

MevsYou collects information from devices and apps you connect to MevsYou. For example, you

may connect your Suunto watch or Discovery Health account to MevsYou and information from

these devices and apps will be passed along to MevsYou.

Health Information

MevsYou may collect or infer health information. Certain health information may be inferred from

sources such as heart rate or other measurements, including power, cadence, and weight or other

indicators. Before you can upload health information to MevsYou, you must give your

explicit consent to the processing of that health information by MevsYou. You can withdraw your

consent to MevsYou processing your health information at any time.

Third-Party Accounts

MevsYou allows you to sign up and log in to the Services using accounts you create with third-party

products and services, such as Facebook, Google, or Apple (collectively, “Third -Party Accounts”). If

you access the Services with Third-Party Accounts, we will collect information that you have agreed

to make available such as your name, email address, profile information and preferences. This

information is collected by the Third-Party Account provider and is provided to MevsYou under their

privacy policies. You can generally control the information that we receive from these sources using

the privacy controls in your Third-Party Account.

Other Information

We may collect information from you through third parties, such as when we collect your feedback

through surveys.

We may also collect information about you from other members such as when they like a challenge

or comment on your activities.

How MevsYou Uses Information

MevsYou uses the information we collect and receive as described below.

To provide the Services

We use the information we collect and receive to provide the Services, including providing you with

the ability to:

• Record your activities and analyse your performance. For example, to compare your past

efforts, analyse your training, and (with your consent) use your heart rate information to

provide you with interesting and useful performance analysis.

• Interact with other athletes. For example, to compete on challenges, participate in

channels, challenges, or events, follow other athletes.

Subject to your privacy controls, your information, including parts of your profile, username, photos,

members you follow and who follow you, clubs you belong to, your activities, the devices you use,

and likes, kudos, peer verifications, and comments you give and receive will be shared on MevsYou

so that you may be able to participate in the Services, for example to show your place on a

leader board. Certain information (e.g., your name, and some profile information) is also available to

non-members on the web. Your precise location information, such as where you post a challenge,

may also be shared on MevsYou or to non-members, in accordance with your privacy controls.

To customise your experience

We use the information we collect about you, your followers, and your activities to customize your

experience. For example, we may suggest challenges, channels and users that you may want to

follow, or new features that you may want to try.

To protect you and the Services

We use the information we collect to protect members, enforce our Terms of

Service and Community Standards, and promote safety. For example, we find and remove content

that violates our terms, such as hate speech or spam, as well as suspend or terminate accounts that

share such content.

To improve our Services

We also use the information we collect to analyse, develop and improve the Services. To do this,

MevsYou may use third-party analytics providers to gain insights into how our Services are used and

to help us improve the Services.

To communicate with you

We use the information we collect to provide support in response to your requests and comments.

We may also use the information we collect to market and promote the Services, activities and

events on MevsYou, and other commercial products or services. This includes marketing and push

communications, where you have not opted out of receiving such messages and notifications.

To process your subscription

We use the information we collect to process your subscription.

Aggregate Information

We do not sell your personal information. MevsYou may aggregate the information you and others

make available in connection with the Services and post it publicly or share it with third parties.

Examples of the type of information we may aggregate include information about equipment, usage,

demographics and performance. MevsYou may use, sell, license, and share this aggregated

information with third parties for research and business.

How Information is Shared

In addition to sharing aggregated data about our members as described above, we also share

personal information in accordance with your preferences, as needed to run our business and

provide the Services, and where required for legal purposes, as set forth below.

Service Providers

We may share your information with third parties who provide services to MevsYou such as

supporting, improving, promoting and securing the Services, processing payments, or fulfilling

orders. These service providers only have access to the information necessary to perform these

limited functions on our behalf and are required to protect and secure your information. We may

also engage service providers to collect information about your use of the Services over time on our

behalf, so that we or they may promote MevsYou or display information that may be relevant to

your interests on the Services or other websites or services.

Publicly Available Information

When you join the MevsYou community, your profile and your activities are set to be viewable

by everyone by default. Your name or Handle (public name) and other profile information is

viewable by other MevsYou members and the public and additional information and content you

share may also be viewable. For example, your photos and videos that you post/upload may be

accessed by other MevsYou members and non-members or viewable on publicly accessible MevsYou

pages or in search engine results. We provide a variety of tools when posting in a Channel (as

opposed to posting outside of a Channel) to control the sharing of your information and encourage

our members to adjust their controls to align with their desired experience.

Sharing Information and Activities

As a social network, we share your information with other MevsYou members and the public in

accordance with your privacy controls. You can also share your activities with your contacts via text,

email, or on social media applications like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. If you link your

MevsYou account to other social networks and share your activities, they will be viewable on such

third-party platforms, including your location information. You should use caution when sharing

information via third parties and you should carefully review the privacy practices of such third

parties.

Third Party Business via API or Other Integrations

We enable you to share your information and content with third party apps, plugins, or websites

that integrate with the Services, as well as with third parties who work with MevsYou to offer an

integrated feature, such as a challenge sponsor. You can choose to share your profile data and

challenge data (including private challenges). Information collected by these third parties is subject

to their terms and policies. MevsYou is not responsible for the terms or policies of third parties.

Legal Requirements

We may preserve and share your information with third parties, including law enforcement, public

or governmental agencies, or private litigants, within or outside your country of residence, if we

determine that such disclosure is allowed by the law or reasonably necessary to comply with the

law, including to respond to court orders, warrants, subpoenas, or other legal or regulatory process.

We may also retain, preserve or disclose your information if we determine that this is reasonably

necessary or appropriate to prevent any person from death or serious bodily injury, to address

issues of national security or other issues of public importance, to prevent or detect violations of

our Terms of Service or fraud or abuse of MevsYou or its members, or to protect our operations or

our property or other legal rights, including by disclosure to our legal counsel and other consultants

and third parties in connection with actual or potential litigation.

How We Protect Information

We take several measures to safeguard the collection, transmission and storage of the data we

collect. We employ reasonable protections for your information that are appropriate to its

sensitivity. The Services use industry standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to allow for the

encryption of personal information.

Managing Your Settings

Privacy Controls

MevsYou offers several features and settings to help you manage your privacy and share your

activities. Most privacy controls are located in your profile page, but some are specific to individual

challenges and/or channels

Adjust Notification and Email Preferences

MevsYou offers various ways to manage the notifications you receive. You can choose to stop

receiving certain emails and notifications by indicating your preference. You may also unsubscribe by

following the instructions contained at the bottom of marketing or promotional emails. Any

administrative or service-related emails (to confirm a purchase, or an update to this Privacy Policy or

our Terms of Service, etc.) generally do not offer an option to unsubscribe as they are necessary to

provide the Services you requested.

Updating Account Information

You may correct, amend or update profile or account information at any time by adjusting that

information in your account settings. If you need further assistance correcting inaccurate

information, please contact MevsYou at: info@mevsyou.fitness

Deleting Information and Accounts and Downloading Your Data

After you make a deletion request, we permanently and irreversibly delete your personal data from

our systems, including backups. Once deleted, your data, including your account, activities and place

on leader boards cannot be reinstated. Following your deletion of your account, it may take up to 90

days to delete your personal information and system logs from our systems. Additionally, we

may retain information where deletion requests are made to comply with the law and take other

actions permitted by law.

Note that content you have shared with others, such as photos and videos, or that others have

copied may also remain visible after you have deleted your account or deleted specific information

from your own profile. Your public profile may be displayed in search engine results until the search

engine refreshes its cache.

MevsYou also provides you the option to remove challenges you have posted and channels you have

created without deleting your account. Once removed, the challenges/channels may remain on

MevsYou’s systems until you delete your account.

Your Rights and Our Legal Bases

We provide the same suite of privacy tools and controls to all of our members worldwide.

Our Legal Bases

MevsYou relies on several legal bases to collect, use, share, and otherwise process the information

we have about you for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including:

• as necessary to provide the Services and fulfil our obligations pursuant to the Terms of

Service. For example, we cannot provide the Services unless we collect and use your location

information;

• where you have consented to the processing;
• where necessary to comply with a legal obligation, a court order, or to exercise and defend

legal claims;

• to protect your vital interests, or those of others, such as in the case of emergencies; and
• where necessary for the purposes of MevsYou’s or a third party’s legitimate interests, such

as our interests in protecting our members, our partners’ interests in collaborating with our

members, and our commercial interests in ensuring the sustainability of the Services.

Transfers

The Services are operated from the Republic of South Africa. If you are located outside of the

Republic of South Africa and choose to use the Services or provide information to us, you

acknowledge and understand that your information may be transferred, processed and stored in

RSA, as it is necessary to provide the Services and perform the Terms of Service. RSA privacy laws

may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction.

Retention of Information

We retain information if it is necessary to provide the Services to you and others, subject to any legal

obligations to further retain such information. Information associated with your account will

generally be kept until it is no longer necessary to provide the Services or until your account is

deleted. In addition, you can delete some items of information (e.g., profile information) and you

can remove individual challenges from view on the Services without deleting your account. For

example, after you withdraw your consent to MevsYou processing your health-related information,

MevsYou will delete all health-related information you uploaded. Following your deletion of your

account, it may take up to 90 days to fully delete your personal information and system logs from

our systems. Additionally, we may retain information to comply with the law, prevent fraud, collect

fees, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, assist with investigations, enforce the Terms of

Service and take other actions permitted by law. The information we retain will be handled in

accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Information connected to you that is no longer necessary and relevant to provide our Services may

be de-identified or aggregated with other non-personal data to provide insights which are

commercially valuable to MevsYou, such as statistics of the use of the Services. For example, we

may retain publicly available challenges and other depersonalized information to continue to

improve the Services. This information will be de-associated with your name and other identifiers.

Privacy Policy Information

MevsYou reserves the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Please review it occasionally. If

MevsYou makes changes to this Privacy Policy, the updated Privacy Policy will be posted on the

Services in a timely manner and, if we make material changes, we will provide a prominent notice. If

you object to any of the changes to this Privacy Policy, you should stop using the Services and delete

your account.
