Garmin Connect

• Daily summaries. Steps, active calories, active time, and distance for each day, used where a bond measures all-day movement.
• Activities. Activity type, start time, duration, distance, and calories for each activity, used to confirm a session happened.
• From when you connect. Garmin sends us new data as your device syncs, starting from when you connect. We do not import anything you recorded before that.
• Your choice. When you connect, Garmin Connect lets you choose which of these FitBond may receive.
• Profile basics. Your Garmin user ID, used to link the connection to your FitBond account.

• Health data
• Activity data

We request the narrowest scopes needed to verify a bond. You grant access on Garmin Connect's own consent screen and can revoke it at any time.

• Verify bonds measured in steps, active calories, active time, distance, or workouts — counted across the whole day, from any activity, or from runs, walks, hikes, rides, swims, rows, strength, functional fitness, HIIT, yoga, or boxing. Garmin is not used for sleep or weight-loss bonds.
• Show you the activity that satisfied (or missed) a bond, and settle the bond.
• Receive new data in the background as your device syncs with Garmin Connect, so verification works without you opening the app.
• Nothing else: we do not use Garmin data for advertising or analytics, and no AI system processes it or is trained on it.

We do not sell Garmin Connect data or expose raw provider data to charities or marketplace businesses. Charity administrators see the donation records needed for their own organisation, subject to the donor’s visibility and Gift Aid choices.

We keep your Garmin data while Garmin Connect is connected to your account. When you disconnect Garmin Connect in the app's Linked Accounts, or delete your account, we deregister you from the Garmin Connect API and delete the daily summaries and activities we stored. You can also remove FitBond from your Garmin Connect account. Progress already recorded on a Bond stays with that Bond. Disconnecting Garmin Connect while a Bond it verifies is still open puts that Bond at risk: we can't verify your progress until you reconnect. Reconnect before the Bond's data window closes and your progress still counts.

You can disconnect Garmin Connect in the app at any time, which stops further syncing. To delete data we already hold, revoke access in the app or email privacy@fitbond.co.uk to request erasure, subject to any retention required for settled Bonds, security, or law.
