Privacy Policy (GDPR Art. 13)
Information on the processing of personal data at YouVisible
Summary: This Policy explains how YouVisible processes personal data of users and visitors: what data we collect, for which purposes and legal bases, for how long we keep it, to whom it may be disclosed, and what rights you can exercise.
Controller and contact
Controller: YouVisible, sole trader (self-employed), owner of the YouVisible brand. Tax ID: [NIF] Registered address: Illescas-Toledo-España Legal contact email: legal@youvisible.com
General contact: you can write to us through our contact form available on the platform.
Privacy contact / DPO: contact our Data Protection Officer (DPO) through our contact form, which is the main communication channel.
Data processed
We process different categories of data depending on how you use the platform:
- Identification and contact: name, surname, email, phone (optional), country/language, role (athlete, club/scout, company, legal guardian).
- Account and authentication: credentials, tokens, verifications (email/SMS), access logs.
- Content and activity: videos, images, metadata (title, tags, sport/position), lists, favourites, comments, reports.
- Interactions and usage: views, clicks, searches, device information, approximate IP, technical events (errors, performance).
- Communications: in-app messages, support, push/email notifications, marketing preferences.
- Billing: subscribed plan, payment status, transaction identifiers, billing address. We never store full card numbers.
- Minors / guardianship: guardian data and evidence of consent/verification when required by law.
- Cookies and similar technologies: technical (necessary), preference, analytics and, where applicable, advertising cookies (always subject to consent).
Special categories: we do not deliberately request special categories of data unrelated to the features enabled by the user. Some sports metrics, particularly heart rate and similar data, may be considered data concerning health depending on their context and applicable law. When the user authorizes their import, we process them solely for the sports purposes described below and, where applicable law requires explicit consent, on the basis of that consent.
Sports data from connected devices and services
YouVisible allows users to voluntarily connect third-party sports services, applications and devices. Compatible services may include, depending on platform, availability and configuration, Android Health Connect, Apple Health / HealthKit, Polar and HUAWEI Health. YouVisible may add other equivalent sports providers; in each case, the user must initiate and expressly authorize the connection and the relevant permissions.
Data we may receive. Depending on the provider, activity and permissions granted, YouVisible may receive:
- Activity and workout records and their associated details.
- Sport type, date and time, duration and active time.
- Distance, calories, pace, speed, heart rate, cadence and steps.
- Altitude and elevation gain.
- Tracks, routes or GPS coordinates associated with the activity.
- Technical information about the source device or application.
- Other sports data associated with the activity when available and authorized.
Not every provider supplies all of this data. YouVisible receives only the data authorized by the user and made available by the provider. A GPS route or GPS coordinates are imported only when associated with a sports activity and the user has authorized the relevant permission. This activity-related location differs from real-time location that other YouVisible features may use; those features are governed by their own permissions and controls and are not enabled merely by connecting a provider.
Purposes. We use this data exclusively to import activities authorized by the user; build and retain their sports history; display metrics, statistics and progress; present maps, routes and tracks; organize sports information within their Profile; and allow them to view, manage and enrich their activities. Syncing alone does not make activities or their data public: visibility depends on the user’s settings and actions.
Activation, legal basis and synchronization. A connection is established only when the user initiates the integration and grants the permissions offered by the provider. For data that requires explicit consent under applicable law, processing is based on that consent. Imports may be initiated manually. If the user enables or authorizes automatic synchronization, YouVisible may periodically query or receive new activities or changes from the connected service.
Control, disconnection and retention. Users decide whether to connect a provider and which of the offered permissions to grant. They can disconnect the integration within YouVisible when that option is available, revoke permissions through the relevant platform or provider, and exercise the rights described in this Policy. Disconnecting or revoking access prevents new synchronization from that provider, but does not automatically delete activities already imported: those activities may be retained in accordance with the user’s settings and the account and content retention and deletion rules set out in this Policy.
External providers, data minimization and security. Each provider maintains its own terms and privacy policy, as well as its own internal retention rules, which YouVisible does not control. We request only the permissions needed for the features enabled by the user and do not use the connection to deliberately access categories of information unrelated to those features. Where a direct connection requires credentials or authorization tokens, they are used to maintain the authorized integration and protected through applicable technical and organizational measures. Technical logs and diagnostics must not include full tokens or authorization credentials.
Excluded uses. YouVisible does not use sports or health data received through these connections for medical diagnosis or treatment, insurance, employment screening or decisions, advertising based on health data, or the sale of sports or health data.
Details for compatible services.
- Android Health Connect: allows activities and associated sports data made available in Health Connect by other compatible sources to be imported with the read permissions granted by the user in Android. Permissions can be managed or revoked in Health Connect.
- Apple Health / HealthKit: allows available activities and sports categories authorized by the user to be imported on iPhone. YouVisible may periodically check for changes when automatic synchronization is enabled; it does not write data to Apple Health.
- Direct providers: Polar and HUAWEI Health may connect directly when the integration is available to the user. For HUAWEI Health, authorized read permissions allow YouVisible to receive sports activity records, details associated with the activity, and the route or location linked to it. The initial synchronization may cover authorized records from the preceding month; afterwards, the user may initiate manual synchronizations or authorize the periodic receipt of new activities or changes.

International transfers
Some providers may be located outside the European Economic Area. In such cases:
- We verify that the country offers an adequate level of protection according to the European Commission, or
- We sign Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or other mechanisms recognised by the GDPR, or
- We apply any other appropriate safeguards required by data protection law.
Detailed information about specific transfers is included in our processor contracts and subprocessor list.

Minors
In Spain, the minimum age to provide valid consent for information society services is 14 years (Art. 7 Spanish Data Protection Act – LOPDGDD). Registration must always be completed by an adult. Where the user is under 14, legal guardian consent is mandatory.
- The platform applies specific protection measures for minors and requires the involvement of a legal guardian when required by law.
- We may request reasonable evidence of guardianship or consent to enable certain features (e.g., publishing public content or accessing certain contact channels).
- The guardian may review and manage the minor’s profile and exercise data protection rights on their behalf.
Company accounts, subscriptions and commercial content
When an account uses the Company role, we process the data needed to manage its business identity, subscription, payment status, limits per billing cycle, Marketplace services, posts, business messages and moderation. We do not store full card numbers; payments are handled by payment providers. Commercial-content signals and moderation actions are processed for security, contract performance, abuse prevention and service quality.

We use cookies and similar technologies to:
- Ensure the technical operation and security of the service (strictly necessary cookies).
- Remember your preferences (language, interface settings, etc.).
- Perform usage analytics with aggregated or pseudonymised data.
- Where applicable, deliver advertising based on consent.
You can find more detailed information in the Cookie Policy, where you can manage your preferences at any time.

- The logic involved.
- The importance and expected consequences of the processing.
- The ways to request human intervention, express your point of view and challenge the decision.
