  • Social Sharing Settings

Within our Services there are four sharing settings: Private, Share with Friends, Ability Fix Customers Only, and Public. Ability Fix apps are designed for your wellness and fitness benefit. As such, you are able to control what Personal Data you share and with whom you share it. We encourage you to adjust the sharing settings to best meet your objectives and sharing comfort level. In the interest of safeguarding your Personal Data, we have outlined some initial default sharing settings.

Default Sharing Settings

  • "Physical Stats" are set as Private. "Private" means not shared with friends or other members. You can change this default status for some of your physical stats. Information that is "Private" by default includes, for example, your height, weight, and age.
  • "Activity Stats" are set as Share with Friends. "Share with Friends" means visible to your friends, but not shared with other members. You can change this default status if you want. Information that is set as "Share with Friends" by default includes, for example, your workouts, exercise minutes, calories expended and friendships.
  • Community Social Data is set as Public. "Public" means visible to all others using the service. For example social posts where you have set your account up as "Follow" (in app and on the websites), community forums, and photos.
  • Lookup Information is set as Public. We believe that social motivation helps you achieve your goals faster and allowing your friends to be able to find you is crucial to this experience. Therefore, your first and last name, location, gender, username, and profile picture are set as Public. If you set your entire account as Private, your lookup data will no longer be available for your friends to find you (unless you otherwise indicate that desire within the Services).
  • Changing Your Sharing Preferences

Details on how to update your sharing preferences and the default settings for our Services are outlined within your profile.

Note: When you share information from our Services externally with a SNS, the information you post is governed by their privacy policy and settings.

  • Social Network Interaction and Widgets 

Social network widgets, buttons, and plug-ins on our websites passively transmit data regarding a social network's members to that social network, even when a button is not clicked. These technologies may allow a social network (such as Facebook, Twitter or YouTube) to personally identify its members and to know the web pages its members have visited. This is true wherever social network buttons are embedded, regardless of whether a button is "clicked" or "pressed." If you belong to a social network or use these categories of web services, you should review the privacy policies of those services to understand the nature of the data that they collect and what, if any, options the service offers to control how data is collected and used. If you disable advertising cookies, the passive tracking associated with these buttons will be blocked on our sites.

Exactly which Device IDs are transmitted can depend on your mobile device platform and the version of your operating system.

  • How We Use Mobile Device Data. 

We may use Device IDs,(together with app usage data and Fitness and Wellness Data) for strictly necessary purposes such as improving our apps and analytics or personalization preferences.

  • Withdraw Your Consent for Use of Your Mobile Device IDs

We do not use Device ID’s for advertising purposes. To the extent our mobile apps personalize functionality for you, you cannot  change these settings within the app. If you do not wish to allow the app to be personalized for you, change your profile settings to the default settings.
