Vista Data — Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 4, 2026

1. Who we are

Vista Data, LLC ("Vista Data," "we," "us") provides athletic and wellness performance analytics.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal and
health-related data when you use our service or any associated application.

2. Data we collect

With your explicit consent, we collect health and fitness data from connected third-party
services, including Garmin Connect. The categories of data we may receive include:

  • Activity telemetry: Heart rate, cadence, running power, speed, distance, and per-second
    device measurements captured during workout sessions.
  • Wellness metrics: Resting heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV), sleep duration and
    stages, body battery, daily stress indicators, steps, and respiration rate.
  • Account information you provide directly: Name, email address, and any optional
    profile fields (sport, event, training phase).

Data Minimization and GPS Exclusion: Vista Data does not collect, track, or store GPS
coordinates, geographical location data, or route maps. We do not collect financial information,
government identifiers, or unrelated personal data.

3. How you grant access (consent)

We access your Garmin data only after you log in to Garmin Connect and explicitly authorize
Vista Data through Garmin's OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code flow with Proof Key for Code
Exchange (PKCE, SHA-256 method). We never see or store your Garmin password, and we
never share your credentials with any party. You control which data you share, and you may
revoke this access at any time through Vista Data or directly through Garmin Connect.

4. How we use your data — purpose limitation

We process your Garmin data solely to generate athletic optimization insights — including
real-time cadence and heart-rate distribution analysis, recovery-state coaching, predictive
fatigue modeling, and personalized training recommendations — within your individual athlete
profile.

We do not use your individual data to train global or cross-user machine-learning models. Under
no circumstances will any of your biometric, health, or athletic data be sold, traded, rented, or
transferred to third-party data brokers, advertising networks, or external analytics firms. This
restriction applies universally, including to anonymized or aggregated derivatives.
When and where Vista Data offers team-coached functionality, your designated coaches may
access your training and wellness data only with your explicit consent, which you may revoke at
any time without leaving the platform.

5. How we store and protect your data

Connections to Vista Data are served over TLS 1.3, terminated at Cloudflare. Your Garmin
OAuth credentials (access and refresh tokens) are encrypted at the application layer before
storage using Fernet authenticated encryption (AES-128-CBC with HMAC-SHA256), with
master keys sourced exclusively from the deployment environment and never embedded in
source code. Our managed PostgreSQL database additionally encrypts all stored data at rest at
the disk level. Every query for your telemetry, coaching cues, and activities is scoped to your
athlete identifier at the application query layer, and real-time data streams are athlete-scoped.
Access is restricted to authorized systems and personnel.

6. Your right to disconnect and delete your data

You may, at any time:

  • Disconnect Garmin: We will revoke your Garmin OAuth grant via Garmin's
    user-deregistration endpoint and delete your stored Garmin credentials and account
    mapping. Your historical activity data remains in your Vista Data account unless you also
    request full account deletion. You may reconnect Garmin or another wearable provider at
    a later time without losing your historical data.
  • Delete your account: We will revoke your Garmin OAuth grant via Garmin's
    user-deregistration endpoint, then permanently delete your Garmin credentials, your
    athlete profile, and all associated telemetry, coaching cues, and activity records.

To make either request, contact us at privacy@vistadata.io or use the corresponding self-serve
control inside the Vista Data application. Requests are acknowledged within 48 hours and
completed within 30 days.

7. Retention

We retain your active account data for as long as your account is open. Upon disconnection of
Garmin, your Garmin credentials and account mapping are deleted immediately. Upon full
account deletion, all associated data is purged within 30 days. We retain a minimal audit log of
deletion events (athlete identifier, timestamp, operator) for compliance verification; this log
contains no health data.

8. Third-party services

Data obtained from Garmin Connect is subject to Garmin's own privacy policy. Vista Data is not
affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Garmin. Garmin® is a registered trademark, and
Garmin Connect™ is a trademark of Garmin Ltd. or its subsidiaries.

9. Children

Vista Data is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal
data from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such data, contact
us at privacy@vistadata.io and we will delete it.

10. International users

Vista Data is operated from the United States. If you access the service from outside the United
States, you consent to the transfer and processing of your data in the United States.

11. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated
through the service or by email. Continued use of the service after a change constitutes
acceptance.
