5. Health and Fitness Data

Vertis:
- • Uses this data solely to provide training insights and recommendations
- • Does not sell health data
- • Does not use health data for advertising
- • Does not share health data with third parties except as necessary to provide the service

6. AI Coaching Features
Vertis provides AI-assisted coaching communications and explanatory features. AI may help generate summaries, explanations, safety classifications, chat responses, and proposed actions, but Vertis's deterministic training engine is responsible for core training calculations and plan logic. AI does not autonomously change a user's training plan.
To generate responses:
- • Selected training data and derived metrics may be sent to third-party AI providers such as Anthropic
- • We do not intentionally include direct personal identifiers (such as name or email)
AI interactions may be stored to improve your experience and maintain continuity.
Third-party AI providers process data solely to generate responses and do not use submitted data to train their models under applicable API terms.
8. Data Retention
We retain data:
- • While your account is active
