Last updated June 24, 2026 20 sections

Who are we and what do we do?

We are FITsociety B.V. We respect your privacy and private life, but sometimes we need Personal Data from you. This statement explains which Personal Data we use and why. It also explains how we store, protect and process this Personal Data.

This privacy policy applies to our website www.fitsociety.nl (the Website), our online application FITsociety (the App) and the services we offer (the Services). We handle your Personal Data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (the GDPR) and other relevant laws and regulations in the field of Personal Data protection, such as the Dutch Telecommunications Act for the use of cookies. We refer to all legislation mentioned here collectively as the Relevant Legislation.

Younger than 16 years

If you are under 16 years old, you need permission from your parents or legal guardian to use our Website, App and Services.

Protection of Personal and Sensitive User Data

We take the protection of your personal and sensitive data very seriously. All data we collect is encrypted both in transit and at rest to prevent unauthorized access, alteration, loss or destruction. We use advanced security measures, such as encryption and access management, to ensure that your data remains secure. In addition, we regularly conduct security audits to protect our systems against unauthorized or unlawful access.

Processing and Protection of Sensitive User Data

  1. Access to Sensitive User Data: We collect and process sensitive user data, such as health data, only after obtaining the user's explicit consent.
  2. Collection, Use and Sharing of Data: Sensitive data is collected solely to improve the functionality of our application. This data is not shared with third parties, except where this is necessary for the operation of the app, as required by law, or after the user's explicit consent.
  3. Consistency with App Store Data Safety Labels: Our privacy policy is consistent with the data safety labels as displayed in both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. We ensure that the information we provide is consistent with these labels.
  4. Use of Data: Sensitive data, including data collected through HealthKit or Health Connect, is not used for advertising purposes and is used solely to improve users' health and well-being.
  5. User Consent: Data is collected and processed only after obtaining the user's explicit consent. Users may withdraw their consent at any time.
  6. Protection of Data: All sensitive user data is protected against unauthorized or unlawful access, destruction, loss, alteration or disclosure through advanced security measures, such as encryption and access control.
  7. Deletion of Data: Users have the right to delete their data at any time through the application settings.
  8. External Sharing of Data: HealthKit and Health Connect data is not shared with third parties without the user's explicit consent, except where legally required.

Use of Google API data and Limited Use

When users choose to connect their Google account to FITsociety, we may request access to certain Google API data, such as Google Calendar data. This access is used only for features the user actively enables, such as calendar connection, availability, scheduling, blocking time and synchronizing appointments.

FITsociety's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Google Calendar data is used only to provide and improve the requested calendar and scheduling features within FITsociety. This data is not sold, not used for advertising purposes and not shared with third parties, except when necessary to provide the requested functionality, when the user gives consent, or when required by law.

We do not use Google Calendar data to train general AI models. If calendar data is used for smart scheduling or optimization within FITsociety, it is used solely to help the user or coach with their own scheduling and availability within the application.

Users can revoke the Google connection at any time through their Google account or through the settings within FITsociety, where this option is available.

Why may we process Personal Data?

There are different legal bases from the Relevant Legislation on the basis of which we may process your Personal Data.

  1. Performance of the agreement: some Personal Data, such as contact details, is necessary to perform the agreement we enter into with you.
  2. Consent: some Personal Data, such as health data, is needed to make optimal use of our Services. We process this data only if you provide it to us voluntarily and of your own free will. The processing therefore takes place with your consent.
  3. Legitimate interest: the processing of some Personal Data is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests.

How do we obtain your Personal Data?

Personal Data received directly from you:

We receive Personal Data directly from you when you create an account on our App or leave a comment on our Website.

Personal Data of third parties that you provide to us:

It is also possible that you provide us with Personal Data of other persons. We would like to point out that it is your own responsibility to verify whether this person agrees to the provision of his or her Personal Data.

Automated decision-making

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling.

Security

We do everything we can to protect your Personal Data against loss, destruction, use, alteration or distribution of your Personal Data by unauthorized persons. This prevents people who have nothing to do with your Personal Data from accessing it. We store your Personal Data on secure servers of Digital Ocean in the Netherlands. In addition, we use the following security measures:

  • Encryption of digital files that contain personal data
  • Security of network connections with Secure Socket Layer (SSL), or a comparable technology
  • Security of the data in accordance with the ISO 27001 standard
  • Access to the data is limited to the persons who need the data

Retention period

We do not retain your Personal Data for longer than we need it for the purposes we described earlier. We delete your Personal Data as soon as it is no longer needed for the purposes for which we obtained it. We will therefore also delete all your Personal Data stored under your account when you delete your account or send us an email requesting deletion of your Personal Data.

With whom do we share your Personal Data?

Processors

It happens that other parties receive your Personal Data from us. We agree with these parties in a data processing agreement that they will handle your Personal Data carefully, and they receive only the Personal Data that is necessary to provide their service. These parties use your Personal Data only in accordance with the instructions we give and not for their own purposes. We may provide your Personal Data to service providers for: data storage, invoicing, accounting, messaging service application and sending newsletters. These parties are "processors" within the meaning of the Relevant Legislation.

Third parties

We share your Personal Data with other parties that are not processors. We agree with these parties that they will handle your Personal Data carefully. They will use the Personal Data only in accordance with the purpose for which we obtained the Personal Data from you.

We share your Personal Data with the sports provider with whom you want to come into contact through our App. For questions about how the sports provider handles your Personal Data, you can contact the relevant sports provider directly or consult the sports provider's privacy policy.

If we have a legal obligation to share your Personal Data, we will do so. This is the case, for example, if the police ask us for your Personal Data.

Transfer

We will process your Personal Data only within the European Union. Outside the European Union, we process your Personal Data only if that country offers an adequate level of protection for your Personal Data.

Without your consent, we will never transfer your Personal Data to other countries or to other parties than those mentioned above.

Our Website and App may contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for the content or privacy protection of these websites. We therefore advise you always to read the privacy policy of the relevant website.
