Privacy Notice
Last updated: 7th November 2025
1) Who we are and scope
- Controller: VIGILANT FRONT, S.L., Calle Serrano Anguita, 13, 28004, Madrid, Spain, ES VAT (NIF): B22983811, Registration: registered in "Registro Mercantil de Madrid" in volume 0; book 0; folio 0; section GNE; page 864596
- Contact (privacy): privacy@gonorth.it
- Scope: This notice explains how we process personal data in our web application that tracks habits, goals, milestones, and journaling, and integrates with third-party health devices/services (notably Garmin) to import activity and health metrics for your personal insights.
2) What we collect and why (data map aligned to our product)
We only collect data necessary for the app's functionality (data minimisation). Based on the app's current design and database models, we process:
Account and profile data
- Data: name, email/login identifiers, authentication/session data, basic preferences.
- Purpose: create and manage your account; secure access; personalise experience.
- Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (contract), and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests: security/fraud prevention).
Habits, completions, streaks
- Data: habit names/descriptions, daily/weekly cadences, completion logs (dates/times), computed streaks and adherence statistics.
- Purpose: habit tracking and analytics; showing your progress.
- Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (contract).
Goals and milestones
- Data: goal titles/targets/metrics/target values/deadlines/status; milestones (titles, due dates, status).
- Purpose: allow you to set, manage, and visualise progress toward goals and milestones.
- Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (contract).
Challenges, memberships, rewards
- Data: challenge participation records, progress, rewards earned.
- Purpose: optional gamification and motivational features you choose to use.
- Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (contract).
Journal entries
- Data: free-form text you write, timestamps, and metadata.
- Purpose: private journaling and reflections; optional AI-assisted insights (see "AI interactions").
- Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (contract). If sensitive data is included voluntarily, processing relies on your explicit action; you can delete entries at any time.
AI interactions
- Data: prompts/questions you submit, contextual app data you choose to include, generated outputs, timestamps, logs required for safety/abuse prevention.
- Purpose: provide coaching, summaries, insights, and productivity assistance.
- Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (contract) for core functionality; Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests) for service quality/safety; where required, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent) for optional features.
Devices and integrations (including Garmin)
- Data: connected account/device identifiers, technical metadata, and—if you authorise—activity/health metrics from Garmin (see Section 3).
- Purpose: allow you to connect a device/service and import data you elect to share.
- Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (contract) to provide requested features; Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR (explicit consent) for health data.
Feature flags and telemetry
- Data: feature toggles assigned to your account, minimal technical diagnostics, and app performance/error logs.
- Purpose: safe rollout of features, troubleshooting, and reliability.
- Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests: stable and secure services).
Technical and usage data
- Data: IP address, device/browser info, timestamps, referrers, cookies necessary for sessions; limited diagnostic logs.
- Purpose: ensure security, prevent abuse, operate the service, and remember your session.
- Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests: secure, functional service). Any non-essential analytics/marketing cookies will require consent.
3) Special section: Garmin connection and health/activity data
What the connection does
If—and only if—you choose to connect your Garmin account, we will receive data made available by Garmin for the scopes you authorise (for example: activity metrics such as steps/distance, heart rate measures including resting rate and VO2max, and sleep-related statistics). The exact categories depend on Garmin's APIs and the permissions you grant during the authorisation flow.
Our role vs. Garmin's role
Garmin remains a separate controller for data in its own ecosystem. We act as an independent controller for the copy of data we import into our service at your request.
Lawful basis for health data
Because certain Garmin data constitutes special category data (health), we rely on your explicit consent under Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR and Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR to process this data. You may withdraw consent at any time (see "Your rights").
How to control the connection
You can connect/disconnect Garmin at any time in-app. Disconnecting stops further data flows. You can also request deletion of previously imported Garmin data from our systems.
Data minimisation
We request the minimum scopes necessary for the features you choose to enable. Where configurable, we offer per-category toggles (e.g., activity vs. sleep).
Security and tokens
We store only the credentials necessary to maintain the connection (e.g., OAuth tokens) using industry-standard encryption and access controls. Tokens are rotated/invalidated on disconnect.
Retention for Garmin data
We retain imported Garmin data for as long as you use the relevant features and for a limited period thereafter to maintain service continuity/backups. You can request deletion at any time; see Section 7.
4) Purposes of processing and legal bases (summary)
- Provide the service you requested (habit/goal tracking, insights, journaling, device connection): Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (contract).
- Improve, secure, and maintain the service (e.g., debugging, preventing abuse, feature flags): Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests) with appropriate balancing test.
- Health/fitness data from Garmin or similar: Art. 6(1)(a) + Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR (explicit consent). You may withdraw at any time.
- Comply with legal obligations (e.g., tax or regulatory record-keeping if applicable): Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.
5) Cookies and similar technologies
- We use strictly necessary cookies to operate sign-in sessions, protect against fraud, and remember essential preferences.
- Any analytics/marketing cookies (if used) will be opt-in with a compliant consent banner. You can change preferences at any time.
6) Disclosures, recipients, and processors
- We use vetted service providers (processors) for hosting, storage, security, and operational tooling (e.g., cloud infrastructure, database, email). These providers are bound by Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) and act only on our documented instructions.
- If we use third-party AI providers to generate insights, they act as processors under DPAs; we set data handling/retention limits and disable training on your data where available.
- Garmin is a separate controller that provides your data to us after you authorise access. Our app does not share your personal data back to Garmin except as necessary for the connection you initiate.
- We will disclose data to competent authorities only when lawfully required.
7) International data transfers
When we transfer personal data outside the EEA/UK (e.g., to cloud providers), we implement appropriate safeguards (e.g., European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses, UK IDTA/Addendum, and supplementary measures). Where applicable, we prefer providers certified under EU–US Data Privacy Framework for the specific services.
8) Data retention (high-level; subject to a formal retention schedule)
- Account and session data: as long as your account is active; basic logs for security for a short rolling period.
- Habits/goals/milestones/challenges/rewards/journal: until you delete the items or your account; we may keep limited backups for a short time after deletion.
- AI interactions: minimal logs to ensure safety/traceability, retained for a defined period; generated outputs exist in your account until deleted.
- Garmin-imported data: retained while the connection is active and for a short period after disconnect to support recovery/backups, unless you request deletion sooner.
- Technical logs: short rolling windows necessary for security/diagnostics.
- We maintain and publish a detailed retention schedule; where retention periods must be longer (e.g., legal obligations), we restrict access and purpose.
9) Your GDPR rights
- Access: obtain a copy of your personal data we process.
- Rectification: correct inaccurate data.
- Erasure: request deletion ("right to be forgotten"), including imported Garmin data.
- Restriction: limit processing in certain cases.
- Portability: receive your data in a machine-readable format (where applicable) and transmit it to another controller.
- Objection: object to processing based on legitimate interests; we will honour unless we have compelling legitimate grounds.
- Withdraw consent: for any processing relying on consent (including Garmin health data) at any time without affecting prior lawful processing.
- Complaint: lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority in the EEA/UK.
- How to exercise: Use in-app controls (export/delete, disconnect Garmin) or contact us at privacy@gonorth.it. We verify identity before fulfilling requests.
10) Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures, including encryption in transit and at rest, least-privilege access, role-based permissions, audit logging, secure key management, regular backups, and vulnerability management.
We test and improve controls periodically. In case of a personal data breach, we assess risk and, where required, notify the supervisory authority within 72 hours and affected users without undue delay.
11) Children's privacy
Our service is not directed to children under 16. Users under the age of digital consent (13–16 depending on country) should not use the service without verified parental consent. We will take steps to delete data inadvertently collected from ineligible users upon notice.
12) Automated decision-making and profiling
We compute progress analytics and insights (e.g., habit adherence, goal progress, fitness summaries). These do not produce legal or similarly significant effects on you. We do not perform automated decision-making within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR.
13) Changes to this notice
We may update this notice as our product or legal requirements evolve. We will post changes here and, where material, notify you in-app or by email.
