Privacy Policy

We collect information you provide and information generated through your use of the Service:

• Account & profile: name, email address, unique username, date of birth, gender, and account credentials.
• Health & fitness data (sensitive information): height, weight, body-fat and waist measurements you log; and activity data such as steps, distance, active minutes, energy, elevation, heart rate and related metrics synced from connected sources (e.g. Garmin, Fitbit/Google, Apple Health, Health Connect).
• Challenge activity: challenges you join or create, contributions, routine completions, leaderboards, invitations and notifications.
• Progress photos: images you optionally upload. These are private to your account and are not shared with other members.
• Payments & coins: coin purchases, balances and ledger. Card payments are processed by Stripe; we do not store your full card details.
• Technical data: device information, push-notification tokens, log and usage data.

Health and fitness data is “sensitive information” under the Privacy Act. We collect and use it only with your consent and to provide the Service (for example, tracking your progress toward a team goal). You may withdraw consent at any time by disconnecting a data source in the app or closing your account, though this may limit functionality.

• Create and manage your account and profile.
• Run team challenges: track progress, compute leaderboards, and send reminders and notifications.
• Provide personalised routines, coaching and motivation (some features use AI processing).
• Process coin purchases and manage prize pools and reward redemptions.
• Maintain security, prevent fraud and abuse, and comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information. We disclose it only as needed to operate the Service, including to:

• Service providers: hosting and storage (including Amazon Web Services), Stripe (payments), Expo (push notifications), and AI providers (for routine/coaching features).
• Health data providers: where you connect a wearable or platform, subject to their own terms and privacy policies.
• Your team: other members of a challenge can see your name/username, your contribution and ranking, and routine participation. They cannot see your progress photos or account details.
• Legal: where required by law or to protect our rights.

Some providers (e.g. AWS, Stripe) may store or process data outside Australia. We take reasonable steps to ensure such recipients handle your information consistently with the APPs.

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information, including encryption in transit. No method is completely secure. We retain personal information for as long as needed to provide the Service and to meet legal obligations, after which we delete or de-identify it.

You may request access to, or correction of, your personal information, and you may update much of it directly in the app. You can permanently delete your account and data at any time — see Delete your account. To make a request or raise a privacy concern, contact us using the details below. If you are not satisfied with our response, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au.

Nikea is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16 without appropriate consent.

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be notified in the app or by email. The “last updated” date above reflects the current version.
