Terms of Service

Last updated: December 12, 2025

These Terms of Service apply to GLANS, an early-stage fitness analytics application developed and operated from Sweden. GLANS is currently in pre-launch development and operated by its founder under the GLANS name.

1. Introduction and Acceptance

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of our fitness activity visualization and analytics platform (the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Service.

We may modify these Terms at any time. If we make material changes, we will notify you through the Service. Your continued use of the Service after such notification constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

2. Description of Service

This application is a fitness activity visualization and analytics platform that allows users to review, analyze, and optionally share their training activities. The Service:

  • Integrates with third-party fitness platforms (such as Garmin, and potentially Apple and Polar in the future) to import user-authorized activity data
  • Displays activity summaries and visual maps
  • Generates personalized fitness metrics and insights based on activity and heart rate data
  • Analyzes training patterns and trends over time
  • Provides optional social and feed-based features selected by the user

All data is collected and processed solely to provide user-requested features. Personal data is never sold, rented, or used for advertising.

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Service at any time.

3. User Control and Data Access

Users remain in full control of their data at all times. You may:

  • Grant or revoke access to connected fitness platforms at any time
  • Enable or disable heart rate processing for personalized metrics
  • Manage visibility of heart rate data in feed-based features
  • Disconnect integrations at any time
  • Request deletion of your account and stored data

When you disconnect an integrated platform, no new data is collected from that platform. Deleted data is permanently removed within a reasonable timeframe.

Future integrations will follow the same opt-in and transparency principles.

4. Third-Party Fitness Platform Integrations

The Service allows you to connect third-party fitness platforms to import your activity data. When you connect a third-party service:

  • You explicitly authorize us to access and retrieve your activity data from that service
  • You remain bound by that third party's terms of service and privacy policy
  • We access fitness platform data solely to provide user-requested fitness visualization and personalized analysis features
  • We do not use such data for advertising or commercial resale
  • We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or practices of third-party services
  • You may disconnect third-party integrations at any time through the Service settings

This application is designed to comply with Garmin Developer Program privacy requirements, Apple Health / HealthKit data usage guidelines, Polar platform data usage guidelines, and GDPR-aligned data protection principles.

5. Heart Rate Data

Heart rate data plays a central role in the application's personalized analysis features. You retain full control over how heart rate data is used:

  • You may disable heart rate processing for personalized metrics, in which case efficiency and effort-based insights may be reduced or unavailable
  • You may control whether heart rate data is displayed or used in social feed features, independent of core analysis settings
  • Changes to heart rate preferences take effect only within the application and do not affect the original data stored by connected platforms

Heart rate data is essential for calculating personalized training effort, efficiency, and related insights. If heart rate data is not available for a given activity or device, or if you choose to disable heart rate processing, some personalized analysis features may be limited or unavailable.

6. Social and Feed-Based Features

The application may include a feed where users can view or optionally share activity summaries. Feed content may include:

  • Activity statistics
  • Visual maps generated from GPS data
  • Selected derived metrics

You control what data appears in the feed, including whether heart rate-related metrics are included or excluded for specific activities or features. Additional privacy controls may be introduced over time to give users greater flexibility.

7. User Conduct and Prohibited Activities

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable laws
  • Impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity
  • Interfere with or disrupt the Service or servers or networks connected to the Service
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Service or other users' accounts
  • Use automated means (bots, scrapers, etc.) to access or collect data from the Service
  • Transmit any malware, viruses, or other harmful code
  • Upload false, misleading, or fraudulent activity data
  • Harass, abuse, or harm other users of the Service
  • Circumvent any access controls or usage limits of the Service

8. Data Usage and Restrictions

Your data is used exclusively to:

  • Display activity summaries and visual maps
  • Generate personalized fitness metrics and insights
  • Analyze training patterns and trends over time
  • Power optional social and feed-based features selected by you
  • Improve application reliability and performance

We do not use your data for advertising, behavioral marketing, or commercial resale. Personal data is not sold or shared with third parties. Aggregated, anonymized data may be used internally to improve the application, without identifying individual users.

No data is processed through advertising or tracking networks.
