Your log in credentials for our App also will enable access to our websites (where registration is required). We will share information between our App and our websites to facilitate your ability to access both without having to create an account twice. In addition, you may synch certain fitness devices (which may change from time to time) with our App, which will enable you track data from your fitness device through the App.

We do not share your personal information with non-affiliated third parties for their own marketing purposes. We may share your information, including information that we collect directly from you, information that we collect about you from third parties, and information that we collect automatically, for the following purposes and with the following persons/entities:
