What is the GDPR?
The EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was introduced to harmonise data protection regulations across all EU Member States, ensuring that all data protection laws are applied in the same way throughout the EU. It will protect EU citizens from organisations that use their data irresponsibly and empower them to decide what information is shared, where and how it is shared.
The GDPR supplements our existing privacy policy.
Please note that you can read our Kinomap Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use on our website.
How do we use your data on Kinomap?
When you create an account on Kinomap, you become a Kinomap member. We collect your email address, your country and your chosen username. You can try out a few videos for free or subscribe in various ways (codes purchased online, provided by a manufacturer, or payment by credit card).
Kinomap offers two main services:
Downloading and sharing geolocated videos
When you upload your video to Kinomap, we synchronise the video file with the GPS file. A video can be removed from the list so that only people to whom you have given the direct link can find it, or you can make it public so that it appears on the website and in the training apps, provided the video is suitable for running, cycling or rowing.
Indoor training on a fitness machine or exercise bike
When you train using a video, we ask you to have a Kinomap account and we store your training data second by second in our databases (speed, power, cadence and heart rate if you’re tracking it). This allows us to display your training details on the website and as web previews in the training apps so you can track your progress. You can synchronise your account with a third-party platform either manually or automatically.
Notifications and subscriptions
Kinomap’s business model is not based on selling data or on advertising, but on subscriptions paid for by people who train indoors. Users can change certain privacy settings via this page.
Certain emails are sent:
general information to a subset of the opt-in member database (see CNIL) (e.g. a new batch of running videos, a new feature in a particular app, etc.), and users can unsubscribe from these general updates with a single click in the email footer
emails triggered to provide advance notice before a subscription expires (one month in advance), or when an event occurs, such as the publication of a new video
Certain individual notifications may technically be sent to users, but Kinomap does not currently make use of this option. Users can manage their subscription
via the Kinomap website if the subscription was taken out via the website
via the Google or Apple subscription manager for subscriptions taken out via the app
Users can request a plain-text export of the data stored in their account by sending an email to support@kinomap.com. Please note that we retain data for the last 10 years.
Users can also delete their account themselves via the Kinomap website. To do this, go to https://www.kinomap.com/dashboard/setting/my-account and click on the red “Delete my account” button. As deleting an account is irreversible, we have added an extra step as a security measure: you will receive an email 72 hours later to confirm the deletion of your account.
