Privacy Policy

---

This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes how Kitman Labs Limited and Kitman Labs Inc.  (collectively, “Kitman”, “we,” “our” or “us”) collects and uses information and what choices you have with respect to that information.

When we talk about the “Services” in this Policy, we are referring to the use of software applications and platforms made available online to customers for the purpose of tracking physical training and historical injury profiles of athletes.

Kitman Labs Limited, an Irish registered company, is the service provider for all customers located within Europe, the Middle East and Africa (collectively, “EMEA”) and is the data controller of the personal data of EMEA-based customers. Kitman Labs Inc., a US company, provides the Services to customers located outside EMEA (such as those in the United States, Australia, New Zealand and Asia) and is the company responsible for the personal data of non-EMEA based customers.

Kitman may collect, store and analyse information (including personal data and sensitive personal data such as health related data) about individuals (such as athletes) whose personal data is processed by Kitman during the provision of the Services to its customers (“Customer Data”). This information is controlled by Kitman’s customers and is processed by Kitman in accordance with the agreement for Services (“Customer Agreement”). To the extent that Kitman collects, stores and analyses Customer Data, Kitman does so on behalf of its customers and is a “data processor” only.

If Customer Data includes your personal data or you are using the Services by invitation of a Kitman customer, whether that customer is your employer, team, another organization, or an individual, Kitman collects, stores, and analyses your personal data on behalf of its customer. That customer will determine its own policies regarding the treatment of Customer Data which may apply to your use of the Services. Please check with the customer about the policies it has in place.

To provide the Service Kitman also collects the following categories of data (collectively referred to as “Kitman Data”) which it processes in order to provide the Services to its customers:

Account and billing information: To create a Kitman account and to access the Services, customers must provide Kitman with names, usernames, passwords and contact information. In addition customers may provide billing information including bank account details to complete transactions in relation to our Services.

Services usage information: When a customer interacts with the Services, usage information is created and may include details of administrative, technical and support communications with us.

Log data: As with most services delivered over the Internet, we automatically collect information when customers or potential customers access and use the Services or our website such as Internet Protocol address, the date, time and location of use of the Services, device information and cookie data. For more information about how we use cookies, please see our cookie policy at https://www.kitmanlabs.com/cookie-policy.

Potential employees: If you apply for a job with Kitman, we will receive the personal data you provide to us such as your name, address, contact information, education details and professional experience.

Customer Lead Generation Data: From time to time we may source lists of potential customers from trusted partners which may contain certain personal data.

Customer Data will be used by Kitman in accordance with customer’s instructions, including any applicable terms in the Customer Agreement, and as required by applicable law.

Kitman uses Kitman Data that it controls:

To provide, update, and improve our Services: This includes use of Kitman Data to support delivery of the Services under a Customer Agreement, prevent or address service errors, security or technical issues, analyse and monitor usage, trends and other activities. We also use de-personalised and aggregated data generated by our customers’ use of our Services to better understand how customers are using the Services in order to improve them.  This processing of Kitman Data is required as a matter of contractual necessity and is also necessary for our legitimate interests which are described in more detail below.

To send emails and other communications: If you contact us, we may use your contact information to respond. We may also send service, technical and administrative emails and messages. We may also contact customers to inform them about changes in our Services, our service offerings, and important service related notices, such as security and fraud notices. These emails and messages are considered part of the Services and customers may not opt-out of them. In addition, we occasionally send emails about new product features, events or other news about Kitman. These are marketing messages you can opt out of at any time.  This processing of Kitman Data is required as a matter of contractual necessity and is also necessary for our legitimate interests which are described in more detail below. 

For billing and account management: We use account and billing information to administer accounts and keep track of billing and payments.  This processing of Kitman Data is required as a matter of contractual necessity and may also be required to enable us to comply with our legal obligations.

For investigating fraud and abuse: We work hard to keep the Services secure and to prevent abuse and fraud.  Such processing will be in our legitimate interests of keeping the Service safe and secure. 

For research: We use anonymised and aggregated data for business purposes such as performing research on specific subject-areas as well as statistical analysis and machine-learning, market analysis and producing reports. This Policy is not intended to place any limits on what Kitman does with data that is anonymised and aggregated so the data is no longer associated with and can no longer be linked to an identifiable customer of the Services, or athlete whose data we have been provided with by a customer.

To screen potential new employees: We use the personal data you provide to us in a job application as part of our recruitment process. 

Kitman may share information described in this Policy from time to time under certain circumstances, so we can offer you the best service possible, to run our business, or to comply with legal and regulatory obligations and to comply with any legal requests.  Such sharing will also be necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests described below.

Third Party Service Providers and other partners: Kitman may provide Kitman Data to vendors, service providers, and other partners including affiliates in our corporate group who help provide the Services and who will use this information only in accordance with instructions from Kitman or restrictions imposed by Kitman.  Further information on the third parties who receive this data is available at kitmanlabs.com/sub-processors.

Legal Compliance: Kitman may share information in order to comply with legal or regulatory requirements and to respond to lawful requests, court orders and legal process.

Changes to Business Structure: In the event Kitman is involved in a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, dissolution, reorganization, sale of some or all of Kitman’s assets, financing, acquisition of all or a portion of our business, a similar transaction or proceeding, or steps in contemplation of such activities (e.g. due diligence).  Such sharing will also be necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests of pursuing the best arrangements for Kitman, its customers and staff.

Fraud and Illegal Activity: Kitman may share Kitman Data to enforce our rights, prevent fraud and for safety and to protect the Services and its customers. This is in order to protect and defend the rights, property, or safety of us or third parties, including enforcing contracts or policies, or in connection with investigating and preventing fraud or other criminal activities.  Such sharing may be required by law or may be necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests described below.

To the extent that Kitman’s processing of Kitman Data is subject to the EU General Data Protection Regulation, we rely on a number of legal bases to collect and use information for purposes described in this Policy, including:

• as necessary to provide the Services and to perform the Customer Agreements;
• where you have consented to processing, which you can revoke at anytime
• where necessary to comply with a legal obligation, a court order, or to exercise and defend legal claims;
• as necessary for Kitman’s legitimate interests or those of a third party. 

Where we rely on legitimate interest to process Kitman Data, the legitimate interest we rely on are (i) to create, provide and maintain innovative Services; (ii) to secure our Services; (iii) to carry out direct marketing; and (iv) to recruit talented individuals.

Kitman takes security seriously. We take various physical, administrative, and technological steps to store and transmit data securely. For example, all personal data is held on dedicated and encrypted servers and behind secure firewall(s). In addition to technological security measures, Kitman places access controls on its employees, contractors, and other partners. Our employees are subject to strict contractual confidentiality obligations that are consistent with this Policy, and may be disciplined or terminated if they fail to meet these obligations. Despite these measures, Kitman cannot guarantee that the information described in this Policy will be completely secure.

We only store Kitman Data for as long as is necessary to provide our Service under the Customer Agreement or to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations. This means certain transaction data will be held for 7 years from the termination of the Customer Agreement.  We may also retain certain Kitman Data after an account has closed if retention is reasonably necessary to resolve disputes, prevent fraud or abuse, or enforce this Policy and our agreements with customers. Personal data relating to potential employees who are unsuccessful in securing a position of employment with Kitman will not be held for any more than 12 months.

In order to provide the Services, Kitman Data may be transferred internationally to our U.S.-based affiliate company or third party service providers who are located outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). These data transfers are necessary to provide the Service and we use standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, and may rely on a European Commission adequacy decision about certain countries, as applicable, for data transfers from the EEA to other countries, such as New Zealand. You can request a copy of our standard contractual clauses by contacting us at privacy@kitmanlabs.com.

Kitman Labs Inc. no longer rely on the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework for EU-US transfers given the European Court of Justice decision on 16 July 2020,

We may share, as described in this Privacy Policy, information with our affiliates and subsidiaries, and third parties. We may disclose information in response to legal process and lawful requests by public authorities in the United States and other countries for the purposes of law enforcement and national security.
