Short version: Use Decode Strength fairly and honestly. Pay for what you use. Your data is yours. We can suspend accounts that abuse the service.
By creating an account or using Decode Strength (the "Service"), you agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms"). The Service is operated by Decode Strength ("we", "us", "our"), Bengaluru, India.
If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.
Decode Strength builds a public athlete page — yourhandle.decodestrength.com — from the training data you connect (Strava, and Android Health Connect for the private Health tab), and gives you the Decode Strength app for Android, and the same app on the web, to run it.
Eligibility: You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. By creating an account, you confirm that you are at least 13.
Your handle: Your handle (username) is your page's address. You can change it in the app; your old address stops working when you do.
Your account: You are responsible for keeping your password secure. Do not share your account with others. Notify us immediately at [email protected] if you believe your account has been compromised.
Accurate information: You agree to provide accurate information when creating your account. Do not impersonate other people or use misleading handles.
Decode Strength is in early access. It is free: there is no subscription, no trial and nothing to pay. If that ever changes, we will tell you by email at least 30 days before, and nothing you have built will be hidden without warning.
Places in early access are limited and given a few at a time, by us. A handle you ask for on decodestrength.com is held for you while you wait for a place. When your place is ready we email you, and the handle is held for seven days more; if you have not signed up with the same email by then, it is released for someone else.
Your data is yours. We claim no ownership over your training data, health data, or any content you add (race details, notes, personal bests). You can export or delete it at any time.
What you give us permission to do: By using the Service, you give us permission to store and display your data as described in our Privacy Policy — specifically to power your dashboard and app. We do not use your data for any other purpose.
Your public page (page terms, version 1)
Off until you say so. Your page at yourhandle.decodestrength.com is off when you join. It goes public only when you turn it on in the app and agree to this section. While it is off, visitors find nothing at the address.
What it shows while on. Anyone with the link can see it, and search engines may list it. It shows what you have switched on in the app's Page tab: sessions, routes, totals, the training heatmap and personal bests worked out from your connected training data, including activities that are private on Strava, and the races, photos, links and other content you add. Health readings are never shown; the Decode Score tile appears only if you turn it on.
Taking it down. Turning the page off takes it down at once; your data stays in your account. Disconnecting Strava removes everything that came from Strava straight away. Closing your account (Profile → Close my account) deletes everything 30 days later, as set out in the Privacy Policy.
If this section changes, every page comes down until its athlete agrees to the new version in the app. You are responsible for what you choose to publish.
Third-party data: Your Strava activities are subject to Strava's Terms of Service. Your Health Connect data is subject to your device manufacturer's and app developer's terms. We are not responsible for data obtained from third-party sources.
You agree not to:
The Service uses the Strava API. By connecting your Strava account, you also agree to Strava's Terms of Service. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by Strava. Strava may change or restrict their API at any time, which could affect features of the Service.
The Service displays health and fitness data for informational purposes only. Nothing in the Service constitutes medical advice. Do not make medical or health decisions based on data shown in the Service. Consult a qualified healthcare professional for medical advice.
Health data shown in the Service (heart rate, HRV, sleep, SpO₂) is derived from consumer wearable devices and should not be used as a substitute for clinical measurement.
Uptime: We aim to keep the Service available at all times but do not guarantee uninterrupted availability. We may perform maintenance which temporarily makes the Service unavailable.
Changes to the Service: We may add, change, or remove features at any time. We will try to give reasonable notice of significant changes that remove functionality you rely on.
Shutting down: If we ever shut down the Service entirely, we will give at least 60 days notice and provide a way for you to export your data.
The Decode Strength name, logo, Decode Score system, Runner Archetype system, and all original content in the Service are our intellectual property. You may not use them without our written permission.
Your training data and personal information remain yours. See Section 5.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:
By you: You can close your account at any time from Profile → Close my account. Signing back in within 30 days cancels it; after that, all your data is deleted.
By us: We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, engage in fraudulent activity, or create multiple accounts to hold handles they do not use. We will give notice where possible before terminating an account, except in cases of serious violations.
These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Any disputes will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of Bengaluru, Karnataka, India.
We may update these Terms as the Service evolves. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date and send you an email if the changes significantly affect your rights. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance.
