We built Count.It to help create healthy, fun community for real world groups. We do not make our money by advertising, and we will never sell or share your personal activity data with anyone. You can remove your account at any time, and we will delete your data. That's the big picture. Now, here are more details.
To create an account on Count.It, you must provide:
Your Name
Your Email
When you connect a fitness tracker (e.g. Apple Health or Google Fit), you grant Count.It access to some of the data on your device. In practice, Count.It only collects the activity data that we use for our challenges, e.g. steps, workouts, etc. We do not collect biometric data, such as weight or blood pressure, nor do we gather sleep or nutrition-related data.
We do collect your fitness tracker type, and your location so we can map your activity to the correct timezone.
What can your friends or co-workers see?
Count.It converts raw activity data into a daily points score. When other members of your group look at the challenge page, they will see your points (or steps) total for the challenge. If they click through to your challenge log, they will be able to view and react to (👏) your daily challenge-related activities. Other group members do NOT get access to the gory details of your fitness tracker data, and you will be able to see anything that they see.
If you have questions, please shoot us a line, or, for more details, see our official Privacy policy.
