Privacy Policy
At Swetro, we prioritize your privacy and are committed to providing a safe environment for all our users. This Privacy Policy describes the information we collect when you visit our website or use our services, how we use it, who we may share it with, and the rights you have over your data.
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, contact us at hello@swetro.com.
1. Scope
This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data collected through the Swetro platform, including the website at https://swetro.com, the Swetro mobile application and any related services (collectively, the “Platform”). It does not apply to information collected offline or through channels other than the Platform.
2. Consent
By creating an account or using the Platform, you accept this Privacy Policy and consent to the collection, processing and use of your data as described here. Where required by applicable law, we will request your explicit consent before processing certain categories of data, including health and physical activity data.
3. Information we collect
3.1. Account and registration data
When you register, we collect:
- Full name and username
- Email address and, optionally, phone number and social media handles
- Race goal (10K, half marathon or marathon), event date, event city and current level of preparation
- Payment and billing information (processed by our payment provider; Swetro does not store full card details)
3.2. Physical activity data
The core of Swetro’s service is the analysis of your physical activity. We collect:
- Activity data imported automatically from connected devices and applications (Garmin, Apple Health, Coros, Polar, IGPSport, Wahoo, Suunto and others you authorize)
- Manually uploaded activities
- Derived metrics generated by our analysis system (SWAY), such as training load, effort density, cardiac efficiency, recovery indicators and injury risk signals
3.3. Goal and context data
To personalize your experience and generate relevant analyses, we collect information about your race goal, the date and city of your target event (used to contextualize variables such as altitude and temperature) and your self-reported level of preparation.
3.4. Usage and technical data
We automatically collect technical data when you use the Platform, including IP addresses, browser type, device identifiers, session timestamps, pages visited and interaction data. This data is used for service operation, fraud prevention and improvement of the Platform.
4. How we use your information
We use the data we collect to:
- Provide and operate the Platform, including generating personalized training analyses and recommendations
- Assign you to a cohort of users with a similar goal and context, enabling the comparison and motivation features
- Send you analysis summaries, progress updates, alerts and service communications
- Process subscription payments and manage your billing
- Detect and prevent fraud and unauthorized access
- Analyze aggregated and anonymized data to improve the Platform and develop new features
- Comply with applicable legal obligations
5. Automated analysis and artificial intelligence
Swetro uses artificial intelligence systems to process your physical activity data and generate personalized insights. These analyses are produced algorithmically and are informational in nature. They do not constitute medical, physiotherapy or certified sports training advice. Swetro is not responsible for the decisions you make based on these analyses.
You have the right to request human review of any automated analysis that significantly affects your experience on the Platform. To do so, contact us at hello@swetro.com.
6. Cohorts and comparison between users
As part of the service, Swetro groups users into cohorts based on shared characteristics (goal, level and event context). Within your cohort, certain performance metrics may be visible to other members, such as distances covered or your relative position in the group. This information is limited to performance data and does not include your contact details or full identity, unless you choose to display them publicly through your username.
By using the Platform, you understand and accept that this comparison functionality is an essential part of the service.
7. Brand challenges and sharing data with partner brands
Swetro may offer challenges, events or communities organized together with brands or corporate clients (“Brand Activities”). Participation in these Brand Activities is always voluntary.
By signing up for a Brand Activity, you expressly authorize Swetro to share the following data with the organizing brand:
- Your contact details (name, email address and phone number if registered)
- Your physical activity data related to the Brand Activity (distances, times, performance metrics and progress recorded during the period of the challenge or event)
The sole purpose of this data exchange is the management, communication and follow-up of the Brand Activity you chose to participate in. Swetro contractually requires partner brands to process your data in accordance with applicable data protection legislation and solely for the purposes of the Brand Activity. Swetro does not sell your personal data to third parties.
You may revoke this authorization at any time by withdrawing from the corresponding Brand Activity, without affecting the data processing carried out prior to your withdrawal. If you want the partner brand to delete the data already shared, you must contact it directly, as Swetro does not control third-party systems.
8. Sharing data with third parties
Swetro does not sell or rent your personal data. We may share data in the following cases:
- Service providers: We share data with trusted providers that help us operate the Platform (payment processors, cloud hosting, analytics tools). These providers are contractually required to process data solely on our behalf and in accordance with this policy.
- Device integrations: When you connect third-party devices or applications (Garmin, Apple Health, Suunto), data flows between those services and Swetro subject to each provider’s privacy policy. You are responsible for reviewing and accepting those policies.
- Partner brands: As described in Section 7, only when you voluntarily sign up for a Brand Activity.
- Legal obligations: We may disclose data when required by law, a court order or a government authority.
- Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, your data may be transferred as part of the transaction, with prior notice.
9. Data retention
We retain your personal data while your account is active or as necessary to provide the service. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal data within 90 days, unless applicable law requires longer retention or retention is necessary for legitimate purposes such as fraud prevention or dispute resolution.
Aggregated and anonymized data derived from your activity may be retained indefinitely to improve the Platform, as it cannot be linked back to you personally.
10. Security
Swetro implements technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, loss or alteration, including encryption in transit and at rest, access controls and periodic security reviews. However, no system is completely secure and we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach that may affect your rights, we will notify you in accordance with applicable law.
11. Cookies and tracking technologies
The Platform uses cookies and similar technologies to operate the service, remember your preferences, analyze usage and, where applicable, support advertising activities. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Platform.
Our advertising partners may use cookies, JavaScript or web beacons in their ads to measure campaign effectiveness. Swetro does not control these third-party technologies.
