This data may be uploaded manually or automatically through connected devices or third-party integrations.

Your data is used to generate personalized analytics, improve the quality and accuracy of our metrics and visualizations, provide support and feature customization, and maintain and enhance the app. We may also use sensor data separated from personal data (anonymized and aggregated) to train and optimize machine learning models, AI-based analytics and new features.
