YMCA of Lincoln App Privacy Policy
We highly value user privacy. The following is a detailed explanation of how our application uses HealthKit:
HealthKit Data Collection
Types of Data Collected: Our application may collect your step count, exercise distance, and calorie consumption data through HealthKit. For example, when you use our fitness app for a running workout, the app will obtain your step count and exercise distance through HealthKit to accurately record your workout achievements.
User Consent
We will clearly request your consent before using HealthKit to collect your health data. Only after you explicitly consent will we obtain the relevant data through HealthKit. For example, when you first open our application, a permission request pop - up will appear, detailing the types of data we will collect and the purpose of use, and you can choose "Agree" or "Disagree".
If you want to withdraw your consent at any time, you can do so through the settings function of the application or the HealthKit settings on your device.
Our app offers fitness challenges which users can join and integrates with Google's Health Connect to collect user's calories burned, distance walked/ran and steps climbed.
Our app will analyze the daily exercise data of users in Health Connect to calculate their progress and determine whether they have completed a fitness challenge. The challenge includes the distance covered, the number of steps taken, and the total calories burned by the user. Users can receive these challenges on the homepage, and when they accept a challenge, a prompt will appear requesting authorization to access Health Connect. We will request permission for Distance Record, Steps Record, and Total Calories Burned Record in minimum scope to fulfill the functionality of our app. Once we obtain this data, we will display the corresponding exercise data and progress in the app, as well as update the server's progress. When the user's exercise meets the target value of the challenge, we will indicate that the challenge has been completed. We retain user data only for as long as the user’s account remains active. When a user requests to delete their account, all associated personal data will be deleted from our systems.
The use of information received from Health Connect will adhere to the Health Connect Permissions policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
