PRIVACY NOTICE
Welcome to FitWave Fitness LLC. Your privacy is a top priority, and we are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your data. Our goal is to maintain transparency regarding our practices so that you understand how your data is handled when you use our services. By using our services, you consent to the data practices outlined here, and we encourage you to review this document carefully.
How We Protect Your Data
FitWave Fitness LLC collects and uses data to provide a more personalized experience and continually improve our platform. We collect both personal and non-personal information, which allows us to enhance our fitness and dietary recommendations, improve app features, and understand user trends. However, we do not sell personally identifiable information (PII) or personal health information (PHI), ensuring your sensitive data is not shared with any third parties. Any data we share with third parties will be fully anonymized and aggregated, preventing it from being linked back to individual users.
HIPAA Clarification
While FitWave Fitness LLC is a fitness platform that collects health-related information to optimize your experience, we are not a healthcare provider or covered entity as defined under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Most personal trainers are also not considered healthcare providers under HIPAA. As a result, HIPAA does not apply to the data you provide through our platform. If you are working with a trainer who is a HIPAA-covered entity, that trainer is independently responsible for any HIPAA compliance related to your data.
CCPA Opt-Out Rights
We understand that privacy preferences vary, and we comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) for our users in California. This Privacy Policy provides a clear outline of your data rights, including the right to know, delete, or opt out of data sales. While we do not sell your PII or PHI, California residents have the right to opt out of the sale of anonymized, aggregated data. For more information or to exercise this right, please follow our Data Opt-Out Link.
Why We Use Anonymized Data
To enhance our services, we may analyze anonymized, aggregated fitness data to provide insights to third-party companies for research, marketing, or product development purposes. This data, which includes information on trends and fitness patterns, is stripped of identifying information before it is shared, safeguarding your privacy. We do not share identifiable health information with any third parties.
By using our services, you acknowledge that you have reviewed and consented to this Privacy Notice and Privacy Policy. If you have any questions or concerns, we invite you to contact us.

This Privacy Policy explains FitWave Fitness LLC’s data practices, including how we collect, use, and protect your data in compliance with U.S. laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). By using our services, you consent to the practices outlined here.
1. Information We Collect
We collect the following types of information from users:
Personal Identifiable Information (PII): This includes your name, email, phone number, and other contact details.
Health Information (PHI): We collect health and fitness data, such as activity level, fitness goals, dietary preferences, and exercise patterns, for a personalized experience.
Usage Data: We collect information on how you use our app, device information, and app usage patterns for improving our services.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use collected data to:
Personalize and improve our fitness and dietary services
Analyze trends and usage patterns to enhance user experience
Develop insights and aggregated reports for industry research and product development
3. Data Anonymization and Sale of Anonymized Fitness Data
FitWave Fitness LLC will not sell your PII or PHI to any third parties. However, to support our mission of improving health and fitness solutions, we may share anonymized, aggregated fitness data with select third parties for research, product development, and market analysis. Anonymized data means that all personally identifying information has been removed and aggregated so that individual users cannot be identified. This data may include trends or patterns related to fitness behaviors but does not reveal any personal or health details about individual users.
4. HIPAA and Data Privacy
FitWave Fitness LLC is not a healthcare provider and is therefore not subject to HIPAA. Similarly, most personal trainers on our platform are not covered entities under HIPAA. If you work with a trainer who is considered a covered entity, that trainer alone is responsible for HIPAA compliance. For all users, our privacy practices adhere to relevant U.S. privacy laws, and we take all necessary steps to secure your data.
5. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) Rights
If you are a California resident, you have the right under the CCPA to:
Know what data we collect and how we use it
Request the deletion of your personal information, subject to certain legal exceptions
Opt-out of the sale of your data
While FitWave does not sell any PII or PHI, you may opt-out of the sharing of anonymized, aggregated data by following the Data opt-out link provided on our website or contacting us at info@fitwave.io. Opting out will prevent your anonymized fitness data from being included in any third-party research or analysis.
6. Your Data Rights and Control
We provide options for users to control their personal information:
Opt-Out of Anonymized Data Sales: You may choose to opt out of the sale of anonymized, aggregated data at any time.
Data Access: You may request a copy of your personal data.
Data Deletion: You can request that we delete your data, subject to legal retention requirements.
7. Data Security
We employ various administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your data. Although no online platform is completely secure, we take significant steps to safeguard your data against unauthorized access and misuse.
8. Children’s Privacy
FitWave Fitness LLC does not knowingly collect data from children under the age of 16 without parental consent. If we become aware of such data collection, we will take steps to delete it.
9. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted with an updated “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of our services after any changes indicates your acceptance of the new policy.
