Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Sole Innovations (“Fitbull,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards your information when you use our mobile application and associated website. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data in compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Norwegian Personal Data Act (Personopplysningsloven), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), and other applicable privacy laws.

- Account Information: Email address, display name, and profile details when you create an account.
- Workout Data: Exercises, sets, reps, weights, and workout history you log in the app.
- Nutrition Data: Meals, foods, macronutrient data, and recipes you save.
- Goals & Preferences: Fitness goals, experience level, body metrics (if provided), and app preferences you set.

Apple HealthKit Data
Fitbull may request access to Apple HealthKit to read and write workout data (such as workouts, active energy, and body measurements) with your explicit permission. HealthKit data is never shared with third parties, used for advertising, or sold. HealthKit data is not sent to AI processing services. HealthKit data is only used to sync your fitness data between Fitbull and the Health app. You can revoke Fitbull’s access to HealthKit at any time through your device’s Settings > Privacy & Security > Health. Revoking access will not delete data previously synced to Fitbull.
Health and Fitness Data (Special Category Data)
Some of the data you provide - including workout data, nutrition data, body metrics, and data synced via Apple HealthKit - may constitute health-related data under GDPR Article 9, which is subject to additional protections as “special category data.”
We process this data only with your explicit consent, which we obtain when you first set up your Fitbull account and, where applicable, when you enable HealthKit integration or activate the AI Coach feature. You may withdraw your consent at any time by disabling the relevant feature in Settings, deleting your data, or contacting us. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
We have conducted a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) for our health data processing and AI-powered features, in accordance with GDPR Article 35 and Datatilsynet’s guidance on processing activities requiring a DPIA.
Legal Basis for Processing
We process your personal data on the following legal bases under GDPR Article 6(1):
| Processing Activity | Legal Basis |
|---|---|
| Providing the Fitbull app and its core features (workout tracking, nutrition logging, stats) | Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) |
| Managing your account and authentication | Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) |
| Processing your subscription | Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) |
| Responding to support requests | Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) |
| AI Coach personalized recommendations (Pro) | Explicit consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) and Art. 9(2)(a) for health data |
| Apple HealthKit data sync | Explicit consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) and Art. 9(2)(a) for health data |
| Analytics and app improvement (anonymized) | Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)) - our interest in improving the service, balanced against minimal impact on your privacy due to anonymization |
| Service-critical notifications | Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)) - necessary operational communications |
| Compliance with legal obligations | Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)) |
Where we rely on legitimate interest, we have conducted a balancing test and concluded that our interests do not override your fundamental rights. You may request details of these assessments by contacting us.

A current list of our sub-processors, including their names and locations, is available upon request by contacting sebastian@soleinnovations.com.
International Data Transfers
Your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA), including the United States. Specifically:

Data Security
We use industry-standard encryption (TLS in transit, AES-256 at rest) to protect your data. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard your personal data. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure.
Data Breach Notification
In the event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you and any applicable regulatory authorities (including Datatilsynet) as required by GDPR Article 33 and applicable law. Notification will be provided without undue delay.
Tracking Technologies
Fitbull may use analytics SDKs and local device storage to collect usage data and improve app performance. We obtain your consent before activating any non-essential tracking or analytics, in compliance with the Norwegian Electronic Communications Act (Ekomloven). Essential local storage required for the app to function does not require consent.
You may control analytics and tracking through the app’s privacy settings and your device’s privacy settings.
Automated Decision-Making and Profiling
The AI Coach feature uses automated processing of your workout and nutrition data to generate personalized recommendations. This processing does not produce decisions with legal or similarly significant effects on you. All AI-generated suggestions are informational only and require your independent judgment. You may request human review of any AI-generated recommendation by contacting us.
