Outside the FitMetrics team, we may share certain personal data with third parties in the following cases:

These providers include, for example, Infomaniak (hosting), Stripe, Datatrans, Postfinance, Worldline (payment services), as well as Apple (payments made via iOS) and Google (payments made via Android). We ensure that these partners comply with current security and confidentiality standards and only use your data in accordance with our instructions.

6. Where is your data stored?

Your data is securely hosted by Infomaniak Network SA, whose servers are located exclusively in Switzerland. This provider ensures an infrastructure that complies with the strictest security and confidentiality standards, offering optimal protection against unauthorized access.

Depending on the services used (such as payments through the application), some data may also transit temporarily through the secure systems of third-party providers, such as Apple (iOS) or Google (Android), within their respective ecosystems. These providers also apply high security standards to protect your information.

7. How do we protect your data?

We are strongly committed to ensuring the security and confidentiality of your personal data.

To achieve this, we use advanced technologies and robust security measures tailored to the sensitivity of the data processed. These measures include data encryption in transit, firewalls, and strict access controls to protect your data against unauthorized access, use, modification, or disclosure.

Additionally, we contractually ensure that all service providers and subcontractors involved adhere to strict security and confidentiality standards, guaranteeing the integrity and protection of your data throughout its processing.

However, it is important to note that no method of data transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure. Therefore, while we do everything possible to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. The data you transmit to us is at your own risk.

We disclaim all responsibility for any loss, unauthorized access, or misuse of your data resulting from a technical failure, malicious act, or inappropriate use on your part.

8. How long do we retain your data?

We retain your data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or to comply with our legal and contractual obligations.

Generally, your data is retained as long as you actively use our services. Once your relationship with us has ended, certain data may be kept for up to ten years, in compliance with legal requirements, particularly for tax and accounting purposes, or to address potential contractual claims.

After this period, your data will be deleted or anonymized, unless its retention is required for other legal or regulatory reasons.
