Location tracking stops immediately when you end or pause an activity session. We do not track your location in the background or outside of active sessions.

3.3 Legal Requirements
We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to:
- Comply with a legal obligation, subpoena, or court order
- Protect and defend the rights or property of Kardia Labs LLC

- Protect the personal safety of users of the Service or the public
3.4 Business Transfers
If Kardia Labs LLC is involved in a merger, acquisition, asset sale, or bankruptcy, your personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you before your personal information becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
4. Data Storage and Security
4.1 Storage
Your data is stored on servers operated by Supabase (hosted on Amazon Web Services) in the United States. Some data (user preferences, cached workout data) is stored locally on your device using AsyncStorage.
4.2 Security Measures
We implement industry-standard security measures including:
- Encryption in transit (TLS/SSL) for all data transmitted between the App and our servers
- Encryption at rest for stored data
- Row Level Security (RLS) policies on our database ensuring users can only access their own data
- Hashed and salted password storage
- Secure authentication token management
- Regular security audits and updates
While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
5. Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you the Service. Specifically:
- Account data: retained until you delete your account
- Workout and fitness data: retained until you delete your account or individually delete specific records
- AI conversation history: retained for up to 90 days to provide conversation continuity, then automatically purged
- Activity GPS data: retained until you delete the specific activity or your account
- Usage and analytics data: retained in anonymized/aggregated form for up to 24 months
After account deletion, we may retain certain data in anonymized or aggregated form for analytical purposes. Backup copies may persist for up to 30 days after deletion before being fully purged.
6. Your Rights and Choices

You may use the App without interacting with AI features. If you choose to use Samson, your conversation data is processed to generate responses but is not used to train or fine-tune AI models. Your data is sent to our AI provider (Anthropic) solely for generating real-time responses and is subject to Anthropic's data processing terms, which prohibit using API inputs for model training.
6.5 Push Notifications
You can opt out of push notifications through your device settings at any time.
6.6 Location and Camera Permissions
You can revoke location and camera permissions through your device settings at any time. Revoking location permission will disable GPS-based cardio tracking. Revoking camera permission will disable food photo scanning and barcode scanning.
