Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Forge Movement LLC, a Connecticut limited liability company (“Forge Movement,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you access or use the Forge Movement exercise-selection mobile application, website, software, content, features, and related services (collectively, the “App”).

The App is designed to help users identify, select, and organize exercises and related fitness or movement information. The App is not a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, physical therapy, rehabilitation, or care from a physician, physical therapist, or other qualified medical professional.

By accessing or using the App, creating an account, clicking to accept, or otherwise indicating assent, you acknowledge that you have read and understand the App’s Terms of Use, which are hereby incorporated by reference, this Privacy Policy and consent to the collection, use, disclosure, and other processing of information as described in this Privacy Policy where consent is required by applicable law. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, do not access or use the App.

Scope of this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect through the App and related online services that link to this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected, used, disclosed, stored, secured, or otherwise processed by third-party websites, applications, platforms, devices, services, or integrations that we do not own or control, even if the App links to or integrates with them. Third-party services may have their own privacy policies and practices.

Unless we expressly state otherwise in a separate written agreement, Forge Movement is not a HIPAA-covered entity or HIPAA business associate solely by making the App available, and information submitted through the App is not monitored in real time by a medical professional or treated as a request for medical care, clinical services, or emergency assistance. If you use the App in connection with a separate health care provider, physical therapist, clinic, employer, insurer, or other third party, that third party’s own privacy practices and legal obligations may apply separately.

Information We May Collect

We may collect the following categories of information, depending on how you use the App and which features are made available.

Account and Contact Information

We may collect information such as your name, email address, username, password or authentication credentials, phone number, mailing address, age or date of birth where needed to verify eligibility or obtain required consent, and other information you provide when creating or managing an account, contacting us, or receiving support.

Profile, Fitness, Movement, and Health-Related Information

The App may allow you to provide information related to your exercise preferences, goals, activity information, symptoms, limitations, injuries, pain points, mobility, strength, flexibility, physical restrictions, exercise history, progress, or other information relevant to selecting or organizing exercises.

This information may be personal and sensitive. Depending on your location and how the information is used, some of this information may be considered health-related information, consumer health data, or similar sensitive information under applicable law.

App Use and Activity Information

We may collect information about how you use the App, including selected exercises, saved exercises, completed exercises, favorites, settings, feature usage, session activity, in-app interactions, preferences, and related usage data.

Device, Technical, and Online Activity Information

We may collect technical information such as device type, operating system, browser type, IP address, device identifiers, app version, language settings, time zone, crash logs, diagnostic data, log files, referring pages, pages or screens viewed, dates and times of access, and similar technical or analytics information.

Location Information

We may collect general location information, such as approximate location derived from your IP address. We will not collect precise geolocation information unless the App provides a feature that requires it and you authorize the collection through your device or app settings.

Payment and Subscription Information

If paid features, subscriptions, or in-app purchases are offered, payment information may be processed by an app store, payment processor, or other third-party payment provider. We may receive limited transaction information, such as subscription status, payment confirmation, purchase history, or billing contact details. We do not intentionally collect or store full payment card numbers, except to the extent a payment provider makes such information available to us.

Information from Third Parties or Integrations

If you choose to connect the App with a third-party service, wearable device, fitness tracker, health platform, app store, authentication provider, or other integration, we may receive information from that third party as authorized by you and permitted by the third party’s terms and settings.

You should review the privacy settings and policies of any third-party service before connecting it to the App.

Sources of Information

We may collect information from the following sources:

You, when you create an account, enter profile information, select exercises, use App features, contact us, or otherwise provide information.

Your device, browser, or app environment, including technical and usage information generated when you use the App.

Third-party services, if you choose to connect or interact with them through the App.

Service providers, such as hosting, analytics, support, security, payment, communications, or app operations vendors.

How We Use Information

We may use information for the following purposes:

To provide, operate, maintain, and improve the App.

To create, manage, authenticate, and secure user accounts.

To help users identify, select, organize, save, or track exercises and related movement information.

To personalize App features, settings, content, and user experience.

To respond to questions, requests, and support inquiries.

To send service, transactional, administrative, security, and account-related communications.

To analyze App performance, usage, reliability, errors, and feature engagement.

To develop, test, improve, and troubleshoot the App and related services.

To protect the security, integrity, and availability of the App.

To detect, investigate, prevent, or respond to fraud, misuse, unauthorized access, policy violations, legal claims, or other harmful activity.

To comply with legal obligations, respond to lawful requests, establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, enforce our Terms of Use, and protect our rights and the rights, safety, and security of others.

For other purposes disclosed to you at the time of collection or with your consent.

Health-Related Information and Consumer Health Data

Because the App relates to exercise, movement, fitness, physical limitations, symptoms, and related information, some information collected through the App may be considered sensitive health-related information under applicable law.

Where required by applicable law, we will collect, use, or disclose health-related information only:

as necessary to provide the App or a feature you request;

as described in this Privacy Policy or a supplemental notice;

with your consent or authorization; or

as otherwise permitted or required by law, including to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims and to protect rights, safety, and security.

The App does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, physical therapy, rehabilitation, or emergency care. Information you provide through the App should not be used to delay seeking medical advice or treatment from a qualified medical professional.

Sale of Consumer Health Data

We do not intend to sell consumer health data. If we propose to sell consumer health data in a way that requires authorization under applicable law, we will obtain any required authorization before doing so.

How We Disclose Information

In addition to the consumer health data disclosures described above, we may disclose personal information as follows:

Service Providers: We may disclose information to vendors, contractors, and service providers that perform services for us, such as hosting, storage, analytics, security, payment processing, customer support, communications, and technical operations, and we require them to process personal information only for authorized purposes and subject to appropriate confidentiality and security obligations where required by law or contract.

Third-Party Integrations: If you choose to connect the App with a third-party service, we may disclose information as necessary to enable the integration, subject to your settings and consent where required.

Business Transactions: We may disclose or transfer information in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, bankruptcy, sale of assets, or similar transaction.

With Your Consent: We may disclose information for other purposes with your consent or at your direction.

Cookies, Analytics, and Similar Technologies

The App and related website may use cookies, software development kits, pixels, local storage, analytics tools, crash-reporting tools, and similar technologies to operate the App, remember preferences, analyze usage, improve performance, diagnose errors, maintain security, and support App functionality.

If we use third-party analytics or similar tools, those providers may collect information about your device, interactions, and usage, but we will not knowingly configure such tools to collect consumer health data for targeted advertising without any legally required notice, consent, or authorization. We will evaluate such tools for consistency with this Privacy Policy and applicable health-data privacy requirements.

You may be able to manage cookies and tracking technologies through your browser, device, or app settings. Disabling certain technologies may affect App functionality.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission, storage, or processing is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials, promptly notifying us of any suspected unauthorized access, and using appropriate safeguards when accessing the App.

Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the App, maintain your account, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, enforce agreements, maintain security, prevent fraud or misuse, and fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the purpose of processing, legal requirements, and operational needs. We may retain deidentified, aggregated, or anonymized information where permitted by law.

Health Breach Notification

If Forge Movement is required by applicable law to provide notice of a breach involving unsecured identifiable health information or consumer health data, we will provide notice to affected individuals, regulators, and other parties as required by applicable law.

If you believe your account or information has been compromised, please contact us promptly at john@forge-movement.com.

Children’s Privacy

The App is not intended for children under 13 years of age, and children under 13 may not create an account or use the App unless we expressly make a child-directed feature available and obtain legally required verifiable parental consent.

If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to us, please contact us at john@forge-movement.com, and we will take appropriate steps to delete the information where required by law.

Communications Preferences

We may send you service, transactional, account, security, and administrative communications. These communications are part of the App and you may not be able to opt out of them while maintaining an active account.

If we send marketing communications, you may opt out by following the unsubscribe instructions in the communication or by contacting us. Even if you opt out of marketing communications, we may still send non-marketing communications related to your account or use of the App.

Deidentified or Aggregated Information

We may create or use deidentified, anonymized, or aggregated information that does not identify you and is not reasonably linkable to you, and we may retain and use such information without restriction except as required by applicable law. We may use and disclose such information for lawful business purposes, including analytics, research, product improvement, reporting, and development. We will not attempt to reidentify deidentified information except as permitted by law, such as to test or validate deidentification methods.

Third-Party Links and Services

The App may contain links to third-party websites, applications, platforms, devices, or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security practices, or content of third parties. If you choose to use a third-party service, your information may be subject to that third party’s privacy policy and terms.
