FAQs:

What is EU GDPR?

EU GDPR is an abbreviation of the words European Union General Data Protection Regulation. It refers to the data protection regulation of the European Union, which is enforced since May 2018. The purpose of the regulation is to harmonize the data protection practices of the EU countries and organizations operating in the EU and to improve data security for the citizens of the member states.

Why do I have to tick so many boxes and give so many consents to be able to use Flow?

The consents and agreeing to the new Terms of Use are there for making sure that you, Polar customer, feel safe with your data. We do not ask you to agree to the Privacy Notice, we only want you to check the box to let us know you have read the Privacy Notice that explains what we do with your data.

I do not accept your terms of use or agree to your privacy notice and wish to use only some of the services. Is this possible?

Unfortunately, it is not possible to use Polar Flow without accepting the Terms of Use and acknowledging that you have read the Privacy Notice. Some of our devices can also be used without Polar Flow, but in that case, some of the features will not be available. You will also not be able to synchronize your data with our service or update the firmware version of your device.

Can you confirm that you do not sell my data, or have you ever sold my data to a third party?

Rest assured that we never have and never will sell any of our customer data to a third party.

Does Polar collect data about me and what is it used for?

We use your training data to offer you the service you have requested. In other words, to give you the training results and e.g. show you how active you are during the day. We don’t use it for anything else and we don’t look at individual customer data without a request from the user.

We may use anonymous data for statistics and pseudonymous data for research and development. The research and development use is purely to improve our services so that we can make our algorithms even more precise or develop new features. All that work cannot be done without data.

Does Polar track my location?

Polar does not track your location. Location data is, however, needed when using some of the features of Polar devices and services. For example, if you are doing a GPS-based training, then your route will be recorded within the training either through your wrist device or mobile device, depending on which tools you are using.

Your current location cannot be found out by Polar. There is no way to remotely connect to your device even if you should have the GPS on.

Is the password of my account encrypted, and what algorithms have been used?

For security reasons, we do not disclose what encryption methods we use, but passwords are encrypted with a strong method.
