Your training data belongs to you
Paskal Running (“Paskal”, “we”, “us”) is an AI-powered running coach that helps athletes understand their training and plan future workouts.
We believe your training data belongs to you. This Privacy Policy explains what information Paskal processes, why we process it, and what choices you have.
Information we process
Depending on the features you use, Paskal may process the following information.
Account information
When you create a Paskal account, we may process information such as:
- your name or display name;
- email address;
- account identifier;
- language and timezone;
- subscription or account status.
Athlete profile and goals
To provide personalised coaching, you may provide information such as:
- race goals and race dates;
- target distances and finish times;
- preferred training days;
- training preferences;
- availability and scheduling constraints;
- information you voluntarily provide during conversations with Paskal.
Training data
When you connect a supported training platform such as Intervals.icu, Paskal may access training information that you have authorised us to access, including:
- completed activities;
- planned workouts;
- running distance, duration and pace;
- heart rate and other activity metrics;
- training load and related training metrics;
- wellness or recovery information, where authorised;
- workout and calendar information.
Paskal only requests access that is necessary to provide its coaching functionality.
Intervals.icu integration
Paskal can connect to your Intervals.icu account using OAuth.
When you authorise the connection, Intervals.icu provides Paskal with permission to access specific information from your account.
Depending on the permissions you grant, Paskal may:
- read activities and associated training data;
- read wellness or recovery information;
- read planned workouts and calendar information;
- create, update or delete planned workouts.
Paskal does not receive or store your Intervals.icu password.
You can revoke Paskal’s access to your Intervals.icu account through Intervals.icu.
Intervals.icu remains responsible for its own processing of your information under its own privacy policy and terms.
How we use your information
We use your information to provide and improve Paskal’s coaching functionality, including to:
- analyse your recent training;
- understand your training history and current training load;
- provide personalised coaching responses;
- create and adapt training plans;
- recommend future workouts;
- create or modify planned workouts when you request or approve such changes;
- maintain relevant coaching context;
- operate, secure and troubleshoot the service;
- monitor service usage and performance.
We do not sell your personal or training data.
We do not use your training data for advertising.
Artificial intelligence
Paskal uses artificial intelligence services to generate personalised coaching responses.
Relevant information may therefore be sent to an AI service provider when necessary to answer a coaching request. We aim to minimise the information sent and only provide information relevant to the coaching task.
This may include, for example:
- recent training activities;
- upcoming planned workouts;
- race goals;
- training preferences;
- relevant information you provided in your conversation.
Authentication credentials, passwords and OAuth access tokens are not intentionally included in AI prompts.
AI-generated coaching may contain errors and should not be treated as medical advice or as a substitute for professional medical care.
Service providers
Paskal may use third-party service providers to operate the service.
These may include:
- Intervals.icu, for authorised access to training and calendar information;
- OpenAI, for AI-powered coaching functionality;
- Amazon Web Services (AWS), for hosting, storage, authentication and application infrastructure.
These providers process information according to their respective agreements, terms and privacy policies.
Data storage and security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information processed by Paskal.
These measures may include:
- encrypted HTTPS connections;
- restricted access to application infrastructure;
- secure storage of authentication credentials and OAuth tokens;
- encryption where appropriate;
- access controls based on the authenticated user;
- monitoring and logging of application operations.
No internet service can guarantee absolute security.
Data minimisation and retention
Paskal aims to store only the information necessary to provide the service.
Training platforms such as Intervals.icu remain the primary source for detailed training history where possible. Paskal may retrieve this information when needed rather than permanently duplicating an athlete’s complete training history.
Some information may be retained by Paskal, such as:
- account and athlete profile information;
- race goals and preferences;
- coaching context;
- proposed or approved training-plan changes;
- service usage information;
- security and operational logs.
Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or where required by law.
Your choices and rights
Depending on applicable law, including the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you may have rights relating to your personal information, including the right to:
- request access to your personal information;
- request correction of inaccurate information;
- request deletion of your personal information;
- request restriction of certain processing;
- object to certain processing;
- request portability of your information;
- withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
You can also disconnect Paskal from Intervals.icu at any time.
Deleting your data
You may request deletion of your Paskal account and associated personal information.
When an account is deleted, Paskal will delete or anonymise associated personal information unless retention is required for legal, security or legitimate operational reasons.
Disconnecting Paskal from Intervals.icu prevents further authorised access but does not automatically delete information previously stored by Paskal.
International data processing
Some service providers used by Paskal may process information outside your country or the European Economic Area.
Where required, appropriate safeguards will be used for international transfers of personal information.
Children’s privacy
Paskal is not intended for children under the age of 16.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when Paskal’s functionality, integrations or legal requirements change.
The current version will always be published on this page, together with the date it was last updated.
