Privacy & Cookies

Beta notice

Beer vs KM is currently in beta. This means the service is still being tested and improved, and features, data handling processes, integrations and availability may change.

During the beta period, errors may occur and data may occasionally need to be corrected, re-imported or removed as part of development and testing. Reasonable steps are taken to protect user data, but users should not rely on Beer vs KM as the sole permanent record of their Strava activities or other information.

If a material change is made to how personal data is collected or used, this notice will be updated.

What information Beer vs KM collects

When you use Beer vs KM, the service may collect and store:

• Your name, email address and profile image provided through Google sign-in.
• Your Beer vs KM user ID and account settings.
• Beer entries that you add to the service.
• Information obtained from Strava after you choose to connect your Strava account, including activity identifiers, activity type, distance and activity date/time.
• Technical information needed to maintain your login session and operate the service.

Beer vs KM does not receive or store your Google or Strava passwords.

Google sign-in

Beer vs KM uses Google authentication to allow you to sign in. Google provides basic account information needed to identify your account, such as your name, email address and profile image where available.

This information is used to create and maintain your Beer vs KM account and associate your Beer vs KM data with you.

Strava

Connecting Strava is optional.

If you choose to connect your Strava account, Beer vs KM uses the Strava API to access authorised activity information for the purpose of calculating and displaying your Beer vs KM statistics.

Strava data belonging to one user is not intended to be displayed to another user.

You may withdraw access by disconnecting Beer vs KM from your Strava account or by requesting deletion of your Strava-related data.

How your information is used

Your information is used to:

• Authenticate you and keep your account secure.
• Associate beer entries and Strava activities with the correct user.
• Calculate Beer vs KM totals and statistics.
• Maintain your Strava connection.
• Diagnose technical issues and improve the service during beta testing.

Your personal information is not sold to advertisers.

Where your data is stored

Beer vs KM uses third-party infrastructure providers to operate the service, including application hosting and database services.

These providers process data only as necessary to provide the infrastructure used by Beer vs KM.

Data retention

Personal data is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary to operate Beer vs KM or meet applicable legal or service requirements.

Strava-derived information is also subject to Strava's API rules and data-retention requirements.

Because Beer vs KM is currently in beta, the way Strava-derived data is stored and retained may be changed as the service develops and its Strava integration is prepared for wider use.

Deleting your data

You may request deletion of your Beer vs KM account and associated data.

If you disconnect Strava or request deletion of Strava-derived data, Beer vs KM will remove the relevant connection and associated data in accordance with applicable requirements.

A self-service deletion feature may be added during the beta period. Until then, deletion requests can be made using the contact details below.
