Terms of Service

1. What Velometry does

Velometry connects to your Strava account and automatically composes activity descriptions from a template you define, substituting real metrics from each ride (for example wind-factor and year-to-date statistics). The service is provided free of charge.

2. Connecting your Strava account

You access Velometry by authorizing it through Strava's official OAuth flow. That single action serves as your login — Velometry never sees or stores a password. You must comply with Strava's API Agreement and Terms of Service when using Velometry, and you may disconnect Velometry from your Strava account at any time.

3. Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse the service: no attempts to disrupt it, reverse-engineer it, access other athletes' data, or use it to violate Strava's terms or any applicable law. You are responsible for the template content you create and for the descriptions published to your Strava activities.

4. Dependence on Strava and third parties

Velometry relies on Strava's API and on the wind-factor engine at windfactor.cc to compute premium wind metrics. Availability, rate limits, or changes to those services may affect Velometry, and we are not responsible for outages or changes originating from them.

5. No warranty

The service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind. Computed metrics are best-effort estimates derived from GPS and third-party data and may contain inaccuracies. You should review generated descriptions before relying on them.

6. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Velometry and its operator are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service, including inaccurate metrics or unintended changes to your activity descriptions.

7. Changes and termination

We may modify or discontinue the service, or update these terms, at any time. Material changes will be reflected by the "last updated" date above. You may stop using Velometry and revoke access from your Strava settings whenever you wish; we may suspend access that breaches these terms.

8. Governing law and contact

These terms are governed by the laws of the operator's place of establishment (jurisdiction to be specified). Questions about these terms: legal@velometry.cc.

Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Velometry (velometry.cc) is the data controller for the personal data described here. For any privacy request, contact privacy@velometry.cc.

2. What we store

To provide the service we store a minimal set of data tied to your Strava athlete identity:

your Strava athlete ID, used as your account identifier;
Strava OAuth access and refresh tokens and their expiry, so we can read your activities on your behalf;
your description template text;
records of Strava webhook events (e.g. "activity created") that trigger processing.

3. What we do not keep

Metrics are computed on demand. In line with the Strava API Agreement (Policy §5.5), Velometry does not persist data derived from your Strava activities — distances, speeds, power, wind breakdowns and the like are calculated when needed and not stored. A short-lived cache of raw activity data may be used transiently to avoid repeat API calls and is always kept within Strava's permitted limits; in production this cache is disabled by default.

4. How we use your data

We use the data solely to authenticate you, read the activities you ask us to process, compute the metrics your template references, and write the resulting description back to your Strava activity. We do not use your data for advertising, and we do not sell it.

5. Third parties

Strava is the source of your activity data and your identity provider; your use of Strava is governed by Strava's Privacy Policy. To compute premium wind metrics we send the relevant GPS streams of an activity to the wind-factor engine at windfactor.cc, which returns the wind breakdown. We also rely on a hosting provider to run the service. We do not share your data with anyone else.

6. Legal basis

Where the GDPR applies, we process your data to perform the service you requested (contract) and, for the OAuth connection, on the basis of the consent you give through Strava's authorization screen.

7. Retention and deletion

We keep your stored data for as long as your Strava account remains connected. Revoking Velometry's access in your Strava settings, or asking us to delete your account, removes your stored tokens and template. You can request access to or deletion of your data at any time via the contact address above.

8. Security

Access tokens are stored to operate the service and transmitted only over encrypted connections. Your session is protected by a strictly necessary cookie described in our Cookie Policy.

9. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export your personal data, and to object to or restrict its processing. To exercise them, contact privacy@velometry.cc.

10. Changes

We may update this policy; the "last updated" date above always reflects the current version.
