Polar
ConnectedIf you use Polar, FitBond can use the activity, workouts, and sleep your Polar account holds to confirm whether you met a bond — no manual check-ins, no screenshots.
What we read
- Daily activity. Steps, active calories, active time, and distance for each day, used where a bond measures all-day movement.
- Workouts. Sport, start time, duration, distance, and calories for each exercise, used to confirm a session happened.
- Sleep. Time asleep each night, with its start and end time and any sleep score Polar provides, used only where a bond measures sleep.
- How far back. Up to a year of daily activity when you connect. Polar shares only the last 30 days of workouts and 28 nights of sleep, so earlier ones cannot be read.
- Profile basics. Your Polar user ID, used to link the connection to your FitBond account.
Permissions we request
- accesslink.read_all
We request the narrowest scopes needed to verify a bond. You grant access on Polar's own consent screen and can revoke it at any time.
How we use it
- Verify that a bonded workout, daily target, or sleep goal was actually met.
- Show you the activity that satisfied (or missed) a bond.
- Refresh your data in the background once a day, and when you connect or ask for a sync, so verification works without you opening the app.
We do not sell Polar 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.
Retention & deletion
We keep your Polar data while Polar is connected to your account. When you disconnect Polar, or delete your account, we ask Polar to end FitBond's access and delete the daily activity, workouts, and sleep we stored. Progress already recorded on a Bond stays with that Bond. Disconnecting Polar 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 Polar 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.
