2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
| Purpose | Legal Basis |
| Provide and operate the Service (score calculation, leaderboards, duels) | Contract performance |
| Send push notifications about duel challenges and results | Consent |
| Improve the Service through internal analytics | Legitimate interest |
| Communicate service updates and respond to support requests | Legitimate interest / Contract |
| Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and Terms violations | Legitimate interest |

3. Data Visibility & Public Information
The following information is visible to other DUEL users by default as part of the competitive nature of the platform:
- Display name and username
- Gym affiliation
- Strength score and leaderboard rank
- Duel history and outcomes
- Profile photo (if uploaded)
You can control certain visibility settings in your profile settings within the app.
4. Anonymized & Aggregated Data
This is important — please read carefully.
We may create anonymized, aggregated, and/or de-identified datasets from the information collected through the Service. These datasets:
- Do not contain names, email addresses, usernames, or any information that could reasonably identify an individual user
- Are stripped of all direct and indirect personal identifiers using industry-standard de-identification techniques
- Cannot be re-identified — we implement technical safeguards and contractual obligations to prevent re-identification by any party
Examples of anonymized data include: aggregate strength trends by age group, average workout frequency across gym types, anonymized exercise volume patterns, and population-level fitness benchmarks.
We may use, share, license, or sell these anonymized and aggregated datasets to third parties for purposes including but not limited to:
- Fitness and health research
- Industry benchmarking and market analysis
- Academic and scientific studies
- Product development by fitness equipment or supplement companies
Your rights regarding anonymized data:
- Because anonymized data cannot be linked back to you, it is not considered "personal information" under applicable law
- You may opt out of having your data included in future anonymized datasets by emailing support@douevenlift.com with the subject line "Opt Out of Data Aggregation"
- Data that has already been anonymized and distributed prior to your opt-out request cannot be recalled
5. How We Share Your Personal Information
We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your name, email, workout details, or other personally identifiable information with third parties for their marketing purposes.
We may share your personal information only in the following limited circumstances:
- Service providers: Third-party vendors who help us operate the Service (hosting, authentication, push notifications — see Section 7)
- Legal compliance: When required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request
- Safety: To protect the rights, safety, or property of DO U EVEN LIFT LLC, our users, or the public
- Business transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets (with prior notice to users)
- With your consent: When you explicitly authorize sharing
6. Data Storage & Security
Your data is stored on servers operated by Supabase (hosted on Amazon Web Services) in the United States. We implement the following security measures:
- Encryption in transit (TLS/HTTPS) and at rest (AES-256)
- Row-Level Security (RLS) policies on all database tables
- Secure authentication via Supabase Auth with bcrypt password hashing
- Regular security audits and monitoring
- Principle of least privilege for all system access
While we implement commercially reasonable security measures, no system is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data.
7. Third-Party Services
The Service uses the following third-party providers:
| Provider | Purpose | Data Shared |
| Supabase (AWS) | Database, authentication, edge functions | All user data (encrypted) |
| Expo (Expo.dev) | Push notification delivery | Device push tokens |
| Vercel | Web application hosting | IP addresses, access logs |
| Google Fonts | Typography (marketing site only) | IP address (per Google's policy) |
Each provider is bound by their own privacy policies and data processing agreements.

10. Children's Privacy
The Service is not directed to children under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16.

If you believe a child under 16 has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.
11. California Residents (CCPA/CPRA)
If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA):

- Right to delete personal information
- Right to opt out of the "sale" of personal information — we do not sell personal information as defined by the CCPA
- Right to non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights
Note: Anonymized, de-identified, and aggregated data is not considered "personal information" under the CCPA and is therefore not subject to these rights.

If you are a resident of a state with specific privacy rights, you may exercise those rights by contacting us at the email below.
