PRIVACY POLICY, CONNECTED WEARABLE & TRADEMARK NOTICE

1. OVERVIEW & SCOPE

Detour Run Club™ ("DRC", "we", "us", or "our"), based in New York, NY, and its technology and intellectual property licensor, Detour Athletics™ (including Detour Athletics LLC and its affiliated licensors), provide community marathon and half-marathon training programs, adaptive workout prescription tools (Detour Engine™ and Detour Adaptive™), and event coordination at detourrunclub.com.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you complete our member intake survey, participate in club training blocks, or connect third-party athletic platforms including Garmin Connect™ and Strava®.

2. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

• Member Roster & Intake Information: Name, email address, phone number, neighborhood, birthday, emergency contact details, apparel sizing, dietary/fueling preferences, and race goals submitted via our intake forms.
• Garmin Connect™ & Wearable Telemetry (With Your Explicit OAuth Consent): When you authorize our integration with the Garmin Connect Developer Program (Activity API, Training API, Courses API, and Health API), we receive activity summaries, GPS/course tracks, lap splits, 1 Hz heart rate, running power, cadence, and physiological readiness metrics that you choose to sync, and we push structured training workouts to your Garmin Connect calendar.
• Strava Activity Data (With Your Explicit OAuth Consent): Activity summaries, distance, pace, heart rate streams, and workout notes used to track training block progression.

3. HOW WE USE YOUR DATA

We use your personal and wearable telemetry data exclusively to:

• Generate, calibrate, and adapt your individualized marathon or half-marathon training plan (including VDOT pacing zones, weekly mileage ramps, and aerobic decoupling / cardiac drift analysis).
• Deliver structured interval and long-run workouts directly to your Garmin watch via the Garmin Training API.
• Coordinate club group runs, marathon cheer/fueling stations, and safety/emergency contact readiness.

Zero Sale or Advertising Use: We never sell, rent, license, or share your personal information or Garmin/Strava health and activity telemetry with advertisers, data brokers, or unauthorized third parties. We do not use Garmin device-sourced raw data to train public third-party foundation AI models.

Alpha Lab Sports-Science Calibration & Aggregated Telemetry Retention: Athletes participating in Detour Run Club™ training blocks receive complimentary access to the Detour Engine™ and Detour Adaptive™ coaching utilities as part of the Detour Alpha Lab. By opting into telemetry sync or submitting training check-ins, you acknowledge and agree that Detour Athletics™ (including Detour Athletics LLC and its affiliated licensors) retains a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free right and ownership interest in de-identified, anonymized, and aggregated sports-science telemetry (such as anonymized VDOT progression curves, grade-adjusted pacing distributions, cardiac drift Pa:Hr decoupling ratios, running economy vectors, and carbohydrate gut-tolerance distributions) for internal sports-science research, physiological model calibration, and commercial development of the Detour Engine™ and Detour Adaptive™ software platforms. De-identified calibration datasets contain no personal identifiers and survive individual account disconnection.

4. DATA STORAGE, THIRD-PARTY PROCESSORS & SECURITY

Member intake records and training plans are stored securely using encrypted cloud infrastructure (Vercel, Google Workspace / Google Sheets with restricted OAuth service-account access, and encrypted SQLite/PostgreSQL athlete stores). OAuth access and refresh tokens for Garmin Connect and Strava are stored in encrypted credential stores and are never exposed client-side.

5. REVOKING ACCESS & DATA DELETION RIGHTS

You retain full ownership and control over your athletic and personal data:

• Disconnect Wearable Sync Anytime: You may revoke Detour Run Club's access to your Garmin Connect account at any time via your Garmin Connect Account Settings or your Strava Settings.
• Request Complete Deletion: You may request export or permanent deletion of your profile, intake responses, and synced activity telemetry at any time by emailing privacy@detourrunclub.com. Deletion requests are fulfilled within 7 business days.
