The protection of your personal data is of particular concern to us at Freeletics. Therefore, we comply with the legal requirements when we collect and process your personal data. Below you will find extensive information about the scope and purpose of collecting data.
Principle of anonymous data use
In principle, our website can be used without providing personal data. The use of individual services and offers (Freeletics Training, Freeletics Running, Freeletics Gym and Freeletics Nutrition [in short ‘Freeletics Apps’]) on our website and in our apps can entail divergent regulations which in this case are explained separately below. The legal basis for data protection can be found in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
When you access our website or Apps, some information, such as IP address, is transferred. You are also providing information about the end device used (computer, smartphone, tablet etc.), the browser used (Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox etc.), time of visit to the website, the so-called referrer and volume of data transferred.
We cannot use this data to identify an individual user. We only use this information to determine how attractive our offers are and to improve their performance or content, if necessary, and make their design even more appealing to you.
Please bear in mind, however, that in the case of a static IP address, personal identification is possible by RIPE query in individual cases, although we do not perform this. Nevertheless, this website is accessible for both static and dynamic IP addresses assigned.
Collection and processing of personal data
We only collect personal data if you provide it to us, for example when you contact us, in particular by registering a Freeletics account, placing an order, requesting information or publishing personal data in our Freeletics Apps in your profile or in the feed.
We use the personal data you provide only to the extent that your data is necessary for rendering or processing our services.
We store your data for as long as is necessary to achieve the intended purpose or until you delete your account or for as long as legal retention periods require data to be stored. Your data is subsequently deleted in accordance with legal requirements or processing is restricted.
In the case of use purely for information, i.e. if you do not register or send us information another way, we only collect personal data which your browser transfers to our servers. If you want to view our website, we collect the following data, which we require for technical purposes in order to show you our content and guarantee stability and security (legal basis is a legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR).
In the context of the balance of interests in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR, we have considered and weighed our interest in website and app provisioning and your interest in data protection compliant processing of your personal data. As the data below is technically required for the provision of our service in order to offer you our services and also guarantee stability and security, in particular protection against misuse, we have reached the conclusion that, with a state-of-the-art oriented data security guarantee, this data can be processed whereby appropriate consideration will be given to your interest in data protection compliant processing.

Registering a Freeletics Account
Using our login system, you can create a Freeletics account for yourself that you can use to log in to all of our services (Freeletics Training, Freeletics Running, Freeletics Gym, Freeletics Nutrition, and Freeletics Essentials). In the process, we use cookies – small files – on your browser in order to identify you. All data that you save to your account is stored at a Freeletics GmbH database at c/o Design Offices München, Einsteinstraße 174, 81677 Munich. Some of our services are only accessible if you have set up your Freeletics account. This includes Freeletics Training, Freeletics Running, Freeletics Gym, and Freeletics Nutrition. We will request the following data when registering (some of it is required). In addition, you must take note of our Data Protection Statement, as well as accept our General Terms and Conditions of Business and Withdrawal Policy.
After entering your data, you will receive a registration link sent to the email address you entered. The registration link is valid for 7 days. Only after you have confirmed your registration via this link, your Freeletics account will be created and you can access our services. If you do not confirm your registration, your personal data will be deleted immediately after the link has expired. If you still want to register with Freeletics after the 7 days, we kindly ask you to register again.

Registering with Facebook or Google
We also offer you the opportunity to create your Freeletics account using your Facebook or Google account, or to link your Freeletics account to your Facebook or Google account. You can register or log in to Freeletics using your Facebook or Google account if you simply use Facebook or Google instead of the other options while registering your Freeletics account. You will then be forwarded to Facebook or Google (where you must be logged in or require an account) and receive an explanation of which of your data we need from Facebook or Google, namely your public profile information such as first and last name, gender, and the email address you are using there. This information is required for identification purposes in order to create a secure Freeletics account for you. When you log in using your Facebook account, this allows us to show you which of your friends are already with Freeletics. Your Facebook or Google account and your Freeletics account will be permanently linked using your email address. We store your email information in-house and will send you information using this address as needed. We can also tell that you have logged in using Facebook or Google. As soon as you log in to Facebook or Google, you can log in to Freeletics. We will not submit any information on you to Facebook or Google without your consent.
Important: We do not record your Facebook or Google login data in any way, and cannot post anything to your Facebook or Google profile without your having expressly consented to this.
You can learn how Facebook handles privacy settings using Facebook’s privacy policy and terms of use; these also include the applicable conditions for the previously specified option of logging in and registering to Freeletics. You can learn how Google handles privacy settings using Google’s privacy policy and terms of use; these also include the applicable conditions for the previously specified option of logging in and registering to Freeletics.

Registration with Apple
You can also register and log in using the “Apple Login” function from your Apple account. When you log in with your Apple ID for the first time, the app will prompt you to enter your name and your email address so that an account can be set up for you. We store your email information in-house and will send you information using this address as needed. You will not be tracked by Apple and a profile of you will not be created while you are using the “Register with Apple ID” function. Apple only collects information required for you to log in and manage your account.
You will stay logged into our app automatically as long as you stay logged in on your device. Here you can find more information on the Apple login.
Data collection, processing and use in the context of Freeletics Service
Community Profile
You need a Freeletics account in order to use our Freeletics Apps. The data collected for this purpose has already been explained above. To provide you with the best Freeletics experience possible, our approach is partly based on publishing specific information relating to our users within the Freeletics community, i.e. even your information. We are going to introduce our program to you in more detail below so that you can decide for yourself whether and which data you want to publish. This introduction includes the following data in particular which is visible to other users:
- public profile (photo, first name, surname, training location, motivation, Freeletics level)
- fitness (progress, desired objective, skills)
- training information (duration and type of training unit, total number of training sessions, notes, photo)
- social media profile (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram)
- food intake (meal type, notes, photo)
- followed by/follows (persons who follow the user, persons followed by the user)
You become visible in Freeletics Apps with the data in your public profile. This information helps other users to find you in Freeletics Apps. At the same time, other users can see your name and surname (if provided), your training location, your motivation and your profile photo and they can recognize you using this information if necessary. You have already agreed under our General Terms and Conditions of Business that upon beginning your Freeletics journey and provided that you make no changes to your privacy settings, all Freeletics users will be able to view your profile, your training data, your posts, your training spots, etc., without special consent. This is designed to make it easier to follow you and/or support you during your journey with comments and motivation. If you do not want this anymore, you can set your privacy settings to ‘private’ at any time, which only allows select athletes to access the information referred to above.
Freeletics Apps save all your successfully completed training units or the meals you have consumed (Freeletics Nutrition only) as well as related information such as self-uploaded photos or notes. Other users can see this data and can consider them as incentive for themselves, leave comments or decide whether they want to follow you.
Moreover, our Freeletics Apps also provide users with the option to be followed (‘followed by’) to support or encourage them in their training experiences, or to compete with one another. For this purpose, users can be searched for by the name registered in the public profile or, after linking a Freeletics account to a Facebook account, via their Friends list. You will be notified about new followers in the mobile app and by push notification where applicable.
Consequently, some of your information is available to other users in Freeletics Apps. Our aim is that nobody is left alone with their training. Instead, users’ performance is appreciated and can become an incentive for new members.
If you do not want to make it possible to link your performance to yourself, you are free to refrain from providing any personal data on your profile or training sessions and linking your account to Facebook. Moreover, you should not save any training photos or enter any notes in this case. For this reason, we have ensured that each user can change their personal information, which can be viewed by other users, and each user is free to use their own name or a fictitious name in their Freeletics Apps.

Freeletics Coach
Personalized training and nutrition plans
When using the Freeletics app, the Freeletics Coach will continuously send you customized training and nutrition plans based on your personal information, training or nutritional preferences, as well as the units you have completed successfully. Here we use a complex algorithm to analyze, among other things, your workout performance and compare this with the workout performance of other users similar to you, in order to offer you perfectly customized training units.

“Adapt session” and Limitations
Within the “Adapt session” section of the Freeletics Training App, you may change the proposed training by providing us with more information about how you want to train. This includes restrictions with regards to time, equipment, noise or intensity. Moreover, you can exclude certain body areas, such as “upper legs”, when defining the next Coach week. We process this entry to generate training for our users, taking the limitation into account. You are able to deselect your previous choices within the “Adapt session” section of the App.
If you have sustained a serious injury and therefore cannot do any training, you can suspend your Coach for the period of your injury. You can notify our support team about your injury on a voluntary basis. This information merely serves as the basis for the relevant deferment or suspension of your Coach and is subsequently anonymized.

Analysis of location data
Within the framework of our Freeletics Apps, in particular Freeletics Running and Freeletics Training, it is possible to map runs. For this purpose, we need access to location data. This data allows us to calculate distances covered at the relevant time and thereby correctly determine the end for predefined distances or determine distances covered.
Based on your location, you can also find training spots and users near you, as well as adjust your training plan to your current environment. At training spots, you can check in after your workout and show the other users in your community where you exercised. To determine the parts of the world in which most users are based, we perform a statistical analysis of your location data. If you edit your saved training, you can remove the selected training spot later and therefore withdraw your consent.

Newsletter
You can subscribe to our newsletter if you want to receive regular updates or information about topics and products that are referred to in the declaration of consent. We need a valid email address for you for subscription purposes. The provision of other separately highlighted data is voluntary and will be used in order to address you personally. This will only happen if you give separate consent.
To make doubly sure that you actually want to receive information from us, we use the double opt-in procedure. Once you have subscribed, you will receive a link by email which you can use to activate the newsletter service. In other words, we will send an email to the address given when you subscribed in which we ask for confirmation that you want to receive the newsletter. If you do not confirm your subscription, your data will not be saved in our email dispatch tool. In addition, we save your IP address and dates of newsletter subscription and confirmation. The purpose of this procedure is to verify your subscription and, where appropriate, shed light on any misuse of your personal data.
Naturally, you can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. The unsubscribe link can be found in the masthead of every email or in your profile settings.
Consent to direct marketing pursuant to Section 7 (3) UWG [German Fair Trade Practices Act]
Email addresses collected when registering for a Freeletics account (via our app or our website) are used for direct marketing of our own and similar products and services (the Freeletics Coach in particular). If you no longer wish to receive direct marketing, you can refuse to allow the use of your email address at any time. The unsubscribe link can be found in the masthead of every email or in your profile settings. Alternatively, you can send us an email to privacy@freeletics.com.

Newsletter and email personalization, and analysis of user behavior
Please bear in mind that when we send the newsletter and emails for the purpose of direct advertising, we analyze your user behavior, i.e. what you open and click on. Your user behavior is technically analyzed by the providers listed below. This allows us to draw conclusions regarding your user behavior, in order to improve our email approach and ensure that you only receive emails and newsletters that are of interest to you.
Your user behavior with regard to the newsletter is tracked only with your separate consent.
The legal basis for tracking your user behavior in emails for the purpose of direct marketing is Art. 6 paragraph 1 f) GDPR.
If you want to prevent personalization and tracking, or you do not agree to processing for the purposes indicated, you can refuse this by sending an email to privacy@freeletics.com or changing your profile settings accordingly.

We use the HealthKit framework from Apple (Apple Inc., 1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, CA 95014, USA; “Apple”), which provides a central storage location for health and fitness data on the iPhone or Apple Watch and – with the express consent of the user – allows apps to communicate with the HealthKit store in order to access and share these data.
With your express approval, we will process your heart rate (where appropriate) as well as information about your workout (start and end of training (date)), training duration, type of training, indoor or outdoor), which is obtained through the HealthKit framework in order to track and display your health and fitness activities.

Google Marketing Services
On our apps we use the marketing and re-marketing services of Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) that allow us to display advertisements in a more targeted manner in order to present advertisements of interest to users. Through (re-)marketing ads and products are displayed to users relating to an interest established by activity on other apps within the Google Network. For these purposes, a code is used by Google when our app is accessed and what are referred to as (re-)marketing tags are incorporated into the app. With their help, an individual cookie, i.e. a small file, is stored on the user’s device (comparable technologies may also be used instead of cookies). Cookies can be set by various domains. This file records which apps users have visited, which content they are interested in and which offers have been used. In addition, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring apps, the length of the visit as well as any additional data about the use of the online products and services are stored. The IP address of users is also recorded, although we would like inform you that within the framework of Google Analytics, IP addresses within Member States of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area are truncated.
All user data will only be processed as pseudonymous data. Google does not store any names or email addresses. All displayed ads are therefore not displayed specifically for a person, but for the owner of the cookie. This information is collected by Google and transmitted to and stored by servers in the USA.
One of the Google marketing services we use is the online advertising program Google AdWords. In the case of Google AdWords, each AdWords customer receives a different conversion cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked through the apps of AdWords customers. The information collected by the cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. AdWords customers see the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they will not receive any information that personally identifies users.
We may include third-party advertisements based on the Google Marketing Service called DoubleClick. DoubleClick uses cookies to enable Google and its partner apps to place ads based on users’ visits to this app or other apps on the Internet.
Google services make use of Google’s Tag Manager. For more information about Google’s use of data for marketing purposes, please see the summary page, Google’s privacy policy is available here.
The legal basis for the use of this service is Article Art. 6 paragraph 1 sentence 1 letter f GDPR. If you wish to object to interest-based advertising by Google marketing services, you can do so using the settings and opt-out options provided by Google. As a guarantee pursuant of Art. 44ff of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Google has signed the EU standard contractual clauses.
There is another Google service we use called Google Audience , that allows us to show targeted messages to users within the Google Network (such as Gmail, YouTube, Google Feed, etc.). For this, we may provide Google with a customer list that includes the email address or other data such as the device ID you provide to us when you register. This allows Google to create a profile about your usage patterns in our app and on our website in order to display advertisements in a more targeted manner in order to present Freeletics advertisements of interest to users on other apps and websites within the Google Network. Please find more information about the Google Personalized Advertising Service here: Personalized advertising - Advertising Policies Help
The legal basis for our processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 Letter a GDPR. We only actively provide Google with customer lists that include your email address or other personal data with your consent. Obviously, you can withdraw your declarations of consent for the future at any time. If you no longer agree to us providing your data to Google, you can opt-out in our app-settings. It is possible, that you can then still see advertisements from Freeletics even if you withdrew your consent or did not consent in the first place, but these advertisements on third party platforms are at random
Facebook Marketing Services
We use the “visitor action pixels” from Facebook Inc. (Menlo Park, California) on our website so that user behavior can be tracked after users have been redirected to the provider’s website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This enables us to measure the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes. The data collected in this way is anonymous to us, i.e. we do not see the personal data of individual users. However, this data is stored and processed by Facebook, which is why we are informing you, based on our knowledge of the situation. Facebook may link this information to your Facebook account and also use it for its own promotional purposes, in accordance with Facebook’s Data Usage Policy. You can allow Facebook and its partners to place ads on and off Facebook. A cookie may also be stored on your computer for these purposes. You can object to the collection of your data by Facebook pixel, or to the use of your data for the purpose of displaying Facebook ads.
We also use Facebook’s Software Development Kit (SDK) within our apps, in order to link various Facebook services with our apps. For example, this enables users to be able to use the Facebook SDK to share content from our apps within their Facebook timeline or to send messages to other Facebook users. Further information about the Facebook SDK within iOS can be found here: iOS SDK - Documentation - Facebook for Developers. For Android, please refer to: Android SDK - Documentation - Facebook for Developers.
We use the Facebook App Events service though the Facebook SDK to track how many people our advertising campaigns reach, and the use of the Facebook SDK. Facebook merely provides us with an aggregated analysis of user behavior with our app. We have no influence beyond that on the information that will be processed through App Events by Facebook. In our app settings, you can opt out of using App Events for these purposes.
As a guarantee pursuant of Art. 44ff of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Facebook has signed the EU standard contractual clauses. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 paragraph 1 sentence 1 letter f GDPR.

Remerge
On our apps we use the retargeting services of Remerge GmbH (Oranienburger Strasse 27, 10117 Berlin) that allow us to display interest-based advertising customized to the interests or preferences of our users as well as to analyze performance of advertising campaigns. Remerge specializes in delivering display app retargeting campaigns for mobile app developers inside other apps that are relevant to the user. To do so, Remerge does not collect any data from the data subjects directly but receive user data from Freeletics, as we want to promote our products. Remerge then bids on real-time-bidding platforms where inventory inside other apps is auctioned resulting in the advertisement of Freeletics being delivered to the inventory. The advertisement revenues generated enable us, Freeletics, to provide content-rich services that are more relevant to our users.
Remerge is unable to combine the data they receive in a way that would enable them to personally identify users nor do they combine the data with any third party data. Remerge receives mobile identifiers such as the ID for Advertising for iOS (IDFA), Google Advertising ID. From time to time we might relay attribution data, which typically relates to the behavior of users inside our Apps which may include installation and first opening of an app on user’s mobile device, user interactions within an app (e.g. in-app purchases, registration), information regarding which advertisements users have seen or clicked on certain metadata, such as timestamp, device type and model, app and app version, country.
Remerge will retain your information for as long as we work with them or as needed to provide Freeletics with services, whichever is shorter. Remerge will delete personal data immediately when we inform them that the user has withdrawn consent. Remerge will however retain and use information as long as necessary to comply with their legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce their agreements.
You can learn more about the purpose and scope of data collection and further processing and utilization of data by reading Remerge’s privacy policy.
The legal basis for the use of this service is Article Art. 6 paragraph 1 sentence 1 letter f GDPR. If you wish to object to interest-based advertising by Remerge, you can do so using the settings and opt-out options provided by Remerge.
Firebase by google
We use the Firebase service from Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) in order to derive application behavioral analytics. We use that information to see how users interact with our website and app.
Firebase is part of the Google Cloud Platform and offers numerous services for developers. Some Firebase services process personal data. In most cases, the personal data is limited to so-called “instance IDs”, which are provided with a time stamp. These “Instance IDs” assigned by Firebase are unique and thus allow the linking of different events or processes. This data does not represent personally identifiable information for us, nor do we make any efforts to personalize it subsequently. We process these aggregated data to analyze and optimize usage behavior, for example by evaluating crash reports.
Currently, we use the following Firebase services:
Google Analytics for Firebase: Google Analytics uses the data to provide analytics and attribution information. The precise information collected can vary by the device and environment. Google Analytics retains ID-associated data for 60 days, and retains aggregate reporting and campaign data without automatic expiration, unless the Firebase customer changes their retention preference in their Analytics settings or deletes their project.For Analytics for Firebase, Google uses not only the “Instance ID” described above, but also the advertising ID of the end device. You can restrict the use of the advertising ID in the device settings of your mobile device. For Android: Settings > Google > Ads > Reset Ad ID For iOS: Settings > Privacy > Advertising > No ad tracking
Firebase Remote Config: Remote Config uses Instance IDs to select configuration values to return to end-user devices. Firebase retains Instance IDs until the Firebase customer makes an API call to delete the ID. After the call, data is removed from live and backup systems within 180 days.
Firebase Dynamic Links: Dynamic Links uses device specs on iOS to open newly-installed apps to a specific page or context. Dynamic Links only stores device specs temporarily, to provide the service.
Firebase Cloud Messaging: Firebase Cloud Messaging is used to transmit push messages or so-called in-app messages (messages that are only displayed within the respective app). A pseudonymized push reference is assigned to the mobile device, which serves as a target for the push messages or in-app messages. The push messages can be deactivated and reactivated at any time in the settings of the mobile device. Firebase Cloud Messaging uses Instance IDs to determine which devices to deliver messages to. Firebase retains Instance IDs until the Firebase customer makes an API call to delete the ID. After the call, data is removed from live and backup systems within 180 days.
Firebase will use this information on our behalf for the above mentioned reasons.
The legal basis for the use of this service is Art. 6 paragraph 1 sentence 1 letter f GDPR. As a guarantee pursuant of Art. 44ff of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Google has signed the EU standard contractual clauses.
YouTube (extended data protection mode)
We also use services from YouTube, LLC 901 Cherry Ave., 94066 San Bruno, CA, USA, a company of Google Inc., Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA on our website. In so doing we use the option of “extended data protection mode” provided by YouTube. When you access a page containing an embedded YouTube video, a connection to the YouTube servers is established and the contents are displayed on the Internet page through a notification to your browser. Pursuant to YouTube specifications, in the “extended data protection mode” your data is sent to the YouTube servers only when you view the video. If you are simultaneously logged in to YouTube, this information is assigned to your YouTube member account. You may prevent this by logging out of your member account before visiting our website.
For more information on data protection in connection with YouTube, please refer to this link.
Databricks
We use Databricks (Databricks Inc, 160 Spear Street, 13th Floor, San Francisco, CA 94105, USA) for processing and analyzing data in our apps and on our website. This data provides us with information on how you interact with our apps and our website. For this purpose, we use your gender, the Freeletics ID, your BMI, your IP address as well as mobile usage data.
The legal basis for the deployment of Databricks is Art. 6 paragraph 1 sentence 1 letter f GDPR. Databricks saves information in the USA. As a guarantee pursuant of Art. 44ff of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Databricks has signed the EU standard contractual clauses. You can find the privacy policy of Databricks here.
Quality assurance
When using our website and apps, data is collected and stored which is used to generate information using pseudonymous usage profiles for purposes of web analysis. These usage profiles serve to analyze visitor behavior and are evaluated to improve and design our services based on demand. In addition, we measure and analyze technical performance data (e.g. response and load times) and application data (hardware and software used) in order to improve the performance of our products. Cookies are used to do so. These are text files saved on your computer that allow us to analyze how you use our website. The pseudonymous usage profiles are not associated with personal data on the bearer of the pseudonym without the concerned party’s express consent. You can object to future data collection and storage for the purpose of web analysis at any time by deactivating cookies in your browser settings.

Social Plugins
This website uses social plugins from providers:
- Facebook (Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA)
- Twitter (Twitter Inc., 795 Folsom St., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA)
These plugins normally collect your data and transmit it to the server of the respective provider.
After being activated, these plugins also record personal data, such as your IP address, and send this to the server of the respective provider where it is stored. Active social plugins also create a cookie with a unique identifier when accessing the respective website. This allows the provider to create profiles on your usage behavior. This also happens when you are not a member of the social network of the respective provider. If you are a member of the provider’s social network, and if you are logged in to the social network while visiting this website, your data and visit information can be associated with your profile on the social network. We cannot influence the exact scope of the data collected on you by the respective provider. Please refer to the privacy policies of the respective social network providers for more detailed information on the scope, manner, and purpose of data processing, and on your rights and setting options to protect your privacy. These can be found in the table above. They are also available at the following addresses:
Social media fan pages
Freeletics maintains so-called fan pages with social media providers like Instagram, Facebook (both: Facebook Inc. Menlo Park, California) and Twitter (Twitter Inc., 795 Folsom St., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA) in order to communicate with customers, interested parties, and users who are active there, and to inform them about our products, services, and events. In doing so, the users’ data can be processed outside of the EU. The above-mentioned US providers have signed the EU standard contractual clauses and thus guarantee the observance of European data protection laws.
In the opinion of the European Court of Justice (ECJ), we are responsible, together with Facebook, for the processing of your personal data. You can find the decision of the ECJ dated June 5, 2018 here.
A Joint Controller Agreement exists with Facebook Inc. pursuant to Art. 26 GDPR. Facebook Ireland pledges to assume the main responsibility in the context of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for the processing of Insights data and to fulfill all applicable obligations in the context of the GDPR with reference to the processing of Insights data (including, but not limited to Articles 12 and 13 GDPR, Articles 15 to 22 GDPR, and Articles 32 to 34 GDPR). Facebook Ireland will also make available the essential information of this Page Insights Addendum to the affected parties. Please contact Facebook to assume your rights as affected parties. The Data Policy of Facebook can be found here.
When using the Facebook fan page, the following data will be collected from you for the purpose of user communication and target group advertising:
- user interactions (posts, likes, etc.)
- Facebook cookies
- demographic data (e.g., based on information regarding age, place of residence, language, or gender)
- statistical data on user interactions in aggregated form, that is, without the possibility to relate the information to any particular persons (e.g., page activities, page impressions, page previews, likes, recommendations, articles, videos, page subscriptions, incl. source, times of day)
The usage of personal data for advertising purposes is of particular importance for Facebook. We use the statistics function to find out more about visitors to our fan page. The use of the function enables us to adapt our content to the respective target group. In this way we also use, for example, the demographic information about the users’ age and location, whereby it is not at all possible for us to relate this information to persons.
In order to provide the social media service in the form of our Facebook fan page and to use the Insight function, Facebook generally saves cookies on the end device of the user. These include session cookies, which are deleted when the browser is closed, and persistent cookies that remain on the end device until they expire or are deleted by the user.
We use the Facebook Insights function for statistical evaluation purposes. In this connection, we receive anonymized data concerning the users of our Facebook fan page. As a result, it is not possible for us to trace them back to your person. For more information, you can refer to the cookie guideline of Facebook.
The personal data of users are processed on the basis of our justified interest in effectively providing information to users and maintaining communication with the users, as well as for the purposes of statistical evaluation pursuant to Art. 6(I) (f) GDPR.
Integrating Spotify
You can play your Spotify playlists directly via our apps without having to leave the Freeletics app. To do so, log in to Spotify (Spotify AB, Regeringsgatan 19, SE-111 53 Stockholm, Sweden) using your Spotify account. This service is available to Spotify Premium customers only. We do not receive any data from Spotify and neither do we pass data on to Spotify. Spotify simply provides us with a token which we use to access and integrate your playlists. Further information on data protection at Spotify is available here.
Convert
We also use the Convert service on our website. Convert provides testing methods to improve website design. To do so, an original version of our website is tested against a modified version in order to find out which is more effective.
When you visit our website, technical information submitted by your browser (such as browser type/version, operating system used, our websites visited incl. duration of stay, previously visited websites) is evaluated by Convert. Your IP address is only stored in an anonymous form.
The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 paragraph 1 sentence 1 letter f GDPR. You can object to future tracking at any time by deactivating it.

Applications and applicant portal from Lever
You can apply to our company using electronic means.

Your personal data will be deleted at the end of the application process, either immediately or after no more than six months, unless you have given us your explicit consent for longer storage of your data.
Further information on data processing in the context of application processes can be found in the data privacy statement of our applicant portal.
Transfer of data to third parties
We only pass your personal data on to third parties if:
- you have given your explicit consent to this,
- forwarding data is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims and there is no reason to assume you have an overriding legitimate interest in your data not being passed on,
- in the event that we have a legal obligation to forward data, and
- this is legally permissible and required for the performance of the contractual relationship with you.
In the case of data transfer outside the European Union, the high European level of data protection essentially does not exist. It may be the case with a transfer that an EU Commission adequacy decision in accordance with Article 45 (1) (3) GDPR is not currently in place. This means the EU Commission has not yet decided that the level of data protection in the respective country corresponds to the level of protection in the European Union based on the GDPR. Consequently, we have put the appropriate guarantees referred to above in place. Potential risks, which cannot be ruled out completely in connection with data transfer, are in particular:
- your personal data could be processed over and above the intended purpose.
- Moreover, there is a possibility that you may not be able to exercise your rights in relation to data protection, for example your right of access, to rectification, erasure or data portability, on a consistent basis and enforce these.
- It may also be highly likely that data is processed incorrectly and in quantitative and qualitative terms, the protection of personal data fails to meet the requirements of the GDPR in full.
Your rights
