HATBRAN (ហាត់ប្រាណ) is a fitness app for walking, running, cycling and hiking. This policy explains what we collect when you use the app at workout.hatbran.com, the Android and iPhone apps, and this website, and what you can do about it.
What we collect
- Your account: name, email address, username, password (stored only as a secure hash), profile photo and the short bio you write. If you sign in with Google, we receive your Google account ID, name, email and photo.
- Your activities: while you record, the app uses your phone's location to save your route, distance, time, pace and elevation. On walks and runs it can also count your steps using the phone's motion sensor. We only use your location while a recording is running or when you plan a route.
- What you share: titles, descriptions and photos you add to activities and posts, comments, likes, saved posts, the people you follow, groups you join and challenges you take part in.
- Your settings: language, theme, who can see your posts, whether the start and end of your routes are hidden, and similar choices.
- Device and technical data: a notification token if you allow notifications, and basic server logs (such as IP address, time and the request made) that help us keep the service secure and working.
How we use it
- To run the app: save your activities, show your history and statistics, and work out challenge progress, leaderboards and badges.
- To show your posts to the people you choose, and to send you notifications you've allowed (for example a new follower, a comment or a challenge milestone).
- To send emails you need, such as a password reset link.
- To keep HATBRAN safe: stop spam and abuse, and fix problems.
We don't sell your personal data, and HATBRAN has no ads.
Who can see your activities
You choose for each post: Everyone (anyone on HATBRAN), Friends (people you follow who follow you back) or Only me. You set the default in Settings. You can also hide the start and end of your routes, turn off comments, and choose not to appear on leaderboards. Your username and profile photo are visible to other people on HATBRAN.
Services we use
- Hosting: our servers store your account and activities. The website and web app are served by Vercel.
- Maps and routes: map pictures, place search and route planning come from services based on OpenStreetMap. When you search for a place or plan a route, the search text or the start and end points are sent to these services.
- Google Sign-In, if you choose to use it.
- Push notifications through Firebase Cloud Messaging (Google), if you allow notifications.
- Email delivery for messages like password resets.
We may also share information if the law requires it, or to protect people's safety.
How long we keep it
We keep your data while your account is open. When you delete your account, your sign-in details are erased straight away and your profile, activities, posts and comments stop being shown to anyone. To have everything erased, including uploaded photos, see Delete your account.
Your choices and rights
- Change or delete your activities and posts at any time.
- Edit your profile, change your privacy settings, or turn notifications off in your phone's settings.
- Delete your account in the app: Profile › Settings › Delete account.
- Ask us for a copy of your data, or to correct or erase it, by emailing support@hatbran.com.
Security
Data is sent over encrypted connections (HTTPS), passwords are stored only as secure hashes, and access to our servers is limited. No service is perfectly secure, so please use a strong password that you don't use anywhere else.
Children
HATBRAN is not meant for children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has made an account, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top. If the change is important, we'll tell you in the app.
