Privacy Policy
What Tempo collects about you, why, who else gets to see it, how long we keep it, and how you get a copy or delete it.
Version 2026-07-30
We are still finalising who operates Tempo
The company name, registered address, contact address for data requests and the country whose law applies are not settled yet. Everywhere one of them belongs, this document shows a marker like Not yet filled in: [LEGAL ENTITY NAME] instead of a guess. Everything else here describes what Tempo actually does today. If you need any of the missing details before they are published, ask your Tempo contact.
The short version
- Your coach decides what is held about you. Tempo runs the software that holds it.
- Health information — injuries, wellness, physio reports, blood tests, DNA — is only stored and used if you switch it on yourself. You can switch it back off at any time.
- What is in a blood test or a DNA report is never sent to an AI. Not with your consent, not with a setting on. The app cuts it off before it can leave.
- We do not sell your data, we do not advertise, and there are no tracking cookies in Tempo.
- You can download everything we hold about you, or delete your account, from your own profile page.
Who we are, and who decides what
Tempo is operated by Not yet filled in: [LEGAL ENTITY NAME], registered in Not yet filled in: [COUNTRY OF REGISTRATION] at Not yet filled in: [REGISTERED ADDRESS].
If you are an athlete:your coach is the one who decides what is collected about you and why — they are the “controller”. We hold and process it for them, on their instructions, as their “processor”. So questions about why your coach asked for something go to your coach; questions about how the software handles it come to us. The rules we work under for your coach are in the Data Processing Agreement.
If you are a coach:for your own account and billing details, and for the information we use to keep the AI working properly, we are the controller. For your athletes' data, you are.
What we collect, and why
No tracking. Tempo loads no analytics, no advertising pixels and no third-party trackers. The only cookies are the ones that keep you signed in, so there is no cookie banner to click through.
Our legal reasons for using it
What the AI sees
Tempo's AI runs on models we pay for at Anthropic and OpenAI, reached through Vercel's AI Gateway using our own keys. When you ask the AI something, what goes out is your question, the recent conversation, your training numbers, and relevant passages from your coach's own methodology documents.
- Blood tests and DNA never leave.Their contents are cut off in our code before any AI provider can see them — regardless of consent and regardless of any setting. This is deliberate and it is enforced twice over. You and your coach can still read those documents in the app.
- Injuries and wellness can only reach an AI provider when two things are both true: you have given the health-and-AI consent, and we have switched that channel on for the provider. It ships switched off.
- Physio and other health documents are read by the AI only on request, only when your health consent is active, and every single read is written to an access log. If that log entry cannot be written, the document is not read.
- The AI providers we use never train on this data; requests may be retained briefly under their standard security policies.
We also use Voyage AIto turn text into numbers so the AI can find the right passage in your coach's documents. What is sent there is your coach's documents and the search text for the turn — which is the message you just typed. Health documents are never sent to it.
Reviewing AI conversations to fix wrong or unsafe answers is covered in the Terms of Service. In short: your data is never used to train an AI model, and your messages with your coach are never part of it.
Where your data goes
The companies above operate internationally, so your data will be processed outside the country you live in, and outside the EU. We are not going to name a hosting region here until we have checked and can commit to it — a privacy policy that guesses at that is worse than one that says nothing.
The safeguards for these transfers are being put in place alongside the operator details. If you need to know exactly where something sits before then, ask and we will tell you what we actually know.
How long we keep it
Your rights, and the buttons that do them
You have the right to get a copy of your data, correct it, delete it, restrict or object to how it is used, and take it elsewhere. Two of those are a button in the app rather than an email to anyone:
- Download a copy.Athlete profile → “Download your data”. You get a JSON file with your profile, consents, intake answers, thresholds, billing and your full message history with both your coach and the assistant. Health documents are listed but their file contents are not included — ask if you want the files themselves.
- Delete your account.Athlete profile → “Delete my account”. This removes your account and everything attached to it, including your health documents, at once. It cannot be undone.
- Change your mind about anything. Every consent you gave is a switch in your profile: health documents, AI processing, wearable sync, health-and-AI, and reviewing your AI chats. Turning one off stops that use from then on.
Coaches: this is not equal yet.An assistant coach can delete their own account from the account page. A head coach who owns the team cannot — the app tells them to transfer ownership first, and that control has not been built. Until it is, a head coach who wants their account erased has to ask us, and we do it by hand. We are telling you rather than pretending the button works.
For anything that is not a button, write to Not yet filled in: [CONTACT EMAIL]. We answer within one month. If you are an athlete, your coach decides some of this, so we may need to pass your request to them — we will tell you if we do.
How it is protected
- One team can never see another team's data. The database enforces this itself, on every table, on every query — not just in the app code.
- Every uploaded file lives in a private store. There are no public file links; the app hands out short-lived signed ones.
- Keys we have to store for you — your intervals.icu key, your coach's payment key — are encrypted before they are written down, each with its own random value.
- Every time the AI reads one of your health documents, that read is logged. If the log cannot be written, the document is not read.
- Our error logs record where something broke and nothing else — no message text, no health data, no file contents. This is enforced in code, not by habit.
No system is perfect. We do not hold a security certification today, and we are not going to imply one.
Age
Tempo is for people aged 16 and over. If you believe someone under 16 has an account, tell us at Not yet filled in: [CONTACT EMAIL] and we will remove it.
Changes to this policy
When we change this policy in a way that matters we bump the version at the top, and coaches are asked in the app to accept the new one. If a change means we need a new permission from you, we will ask for it separately rather than assume it.
Contact and complaints
Write to Not yet filled in: [CONTACT EMAIL], or to Not yet filled in: [REGISTERED ADDRESS]. Until those are published, use your Tempo contact.
If you are in the EU or the UK and you think we have handled your data badly, you can complain to your national data protection authority. You do not have to talk to us first, though we would rather you did — it is usually faster.
