Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 31, 2026

FatigueSense is a research-focused application that helps participants contribute fatigue-related questionnaire responses, wearable-linked signals, and related insights. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it when you use our services, mobile application, and website.

Research Purpose and Scope

FatigueSense is designed for research activities, including participant onboarding, questionnaire collection, wearable data integration, and analysis of participant-reported fatigue information over time. We limit data use to research operations, participant support, platform reliability, and improvement of the FatigueSense service.

Information We Collect

We collect information that you provide directly to us when you register, complete questionnaires, or communicate with us. This may include your name, contact details, fatigue ratings, symptom check-ins, study responses, and other participant-provided research information.

We may also collect technical and usage information needed to operate the service, such as device type, operating system, app activity logs, and service diagnostics.

If you connect supported wearables, we may collect authorized wearable metrics made available through those integrations to support research insights and app features.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to provide, maintain, and improve our services, including to:

  • Run and support research workflows and questionnaire programs
  • Analyze fatigue-related responses and wearable trends for research insights
  • Generate fatigue pattern summaries and optional assistive forecasts
  • Communicate with participants about studies and app operations
  • Maintain security, reliability, and performance of our systems
  • Improve existing features and develop new research-related capabilities
Fatigue Data and Research Insights

The core purpose of FatigueSense is to help participants and researchers observe how fatigue may change across days by combining check-ins, questionnaires, and available wearable signals. Insights are designed to support reflection and research analysis.

Data Sharing and Sale of Data

We do not sell your personal data. We also do not share participant research data with third parties for advertising, profiling, or commercial resale.

Where service providers are used for essential infrastructure (for example, secure hosting or transactional communications), they are contractually limited to supporting FatigueSense operations and are not permitted to use participant data for their own purposes.

External AI and Model Training Restrictions

FatigueSense does not provide participant data to external AI providers or third-party model training platforms. Participant data is not used to train publicly available AI models, and it is not shared with external AI services for independent processing.

Any model-based outputs shown in FatigueSense are optional and assistive. They are intended for reflection and research use, and are not a medical diagnosis or treatment.

Data Security

We implement administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and loss. Sensitive data is protected in transit and at rest using industry-standard controls.

Garmin API Data and External AI Services

Data obtained through the Garmin Connect Developer Program API is not shared with, processed by, or otherwise made available to any third party. This includes external AI providers, third-party machine learning services, and external data processing platforms.

Garmin API data is processed only within FatigueSense-controlled systems for the purpose of supporting research functionality and participant experience.

Participant Rights and Choices

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights regarding access, correction, deletion, or restriction of your personal information. To submit a request, contact us using the email below.
