Privacy Policy

Last updated: 21 August 2026

Translation. This document was drawn up in French; this English version is a translation provided for your convenience. In the event of any discrepancy, only the French version is authoritative.

This privacy policy describes how Stibia (https://www.stibia.com) collects, uses and protects the personal data of its users, in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR — EU Regulation 2016/679).

1. Data controller

The data controller is the publisher of the Stibia application, available at https://www.stibia.com.

For any question regarding your personal data, you can contact us at: privacy@stibia.com.

2. Data collected

We collect the following categories of data:

  • Last name, first name, username
  • Email address and phone number
  • City of residence
  • Password (stored hashed, never in plain text)
  • Profile photo (optional)
  • Activity files in FIT format (uploaded manually)
  • Garmin Connect data imported via the OAuth integration: activity type, date, duration, distance, elevation gain, average and maximum speed, average heart rate, average power, calories burned, training load and aerobic/anaerobic effects (Training Effect), name of the device used, GPS coordinates of the start
  • Imported Apple Health data (if enabled)
  • Computed statistics: normalized power, MMP curve, eFTP, CTL/ATL/TSB
  • Planned activities and recorded competitions
  • Carpooling offers and their associated departure addresses
  • Follow relationships between users
  • Club memberships and associated roles
  • Competition results shared with a club (if enabled)
  • Bikes, shoes and components entered (brand, model, mileage)
  • Subscription and billing data (amount, date, transaction identifier, status) — your card details never pass through our servers

3. Purposes and legal bases

Each processing operation rests on a legal basis:

  • Creating and managing your account — performance of the contract
  • Displaying your activities and statistics — performance of the contract
  • Computing performance metrics (eFTP, PMC…) — performance of the contract
  • Garmin Connect integration (activity import) — explicit consent
  • Sharing results with a club — explicit consent
  • Carpooling offers (address, departure time) — explicit consent
  • Generating a program with the built-in AI Coach — explicit consent
  • Managing your subscription and billing — performance of the contract and legal obligation
  • Measuring how the service is used and improving its features — legitimate interest

The statistics we produce to understand how the service is used and to improve it are aggregated: they cover groups of users and cannot identify you. In that form they may be published or shared. Your personal data itself is never sold or transferred to third parties for commercial purposes.

4. Garmin Connect integration

If you connect your Garmin account, Stibia accesses the following data via the Garmin API:

  • Type, date, duration and distance of activities
  • Average heart rate and power
  • Elevation gain, average and maximum speed
  • Calories burned
  • Training load and aerobic/anaerobic effects (Training Effect)
  • Name of the Garmin device used
  • GPS coordinates of the start point

This data is used exclusively to display your activities and compute your performance statistics within Stibia. It is never resold or transmitted to third parties, except for the AI provider described in section 4 bis, and only when you yourself trigger a program generation.

In addition, if you explicitly request it, Stibia can send the structured workouts you created in the application to your Garmin Connect account. No data is transmitted to Garmin without an action on your part.

You can revoke access at any time from your profile (the “Garmin Connect” section) or directly from your Garmin Connect account.

4 bis. Built-in AI Coach (optional)

If you use the optional program-generation feature (“Built-in AI Coach”), and only when you explicitly trigger it, Stibia sends a summary of your training data to an artificial-intelligence provider in order to produce a personalized program.

The data transmitted is limited to what is necessary for this purpose (recent activities and competition goals) and no identifying data (name, first name, email, phone) is sent to the AI provider.

This provider acts as a processor and may be located outside the European Union (in particular the United States); such transfers are then governed by appropriate safeguards under the GDPR (the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses). The data is used solely to generate your program, is not used for advertising, and is retained by the provider only for as long as necessary for processing and security, in accordance with its own terms.

This feature relies on your explicit consent: it is activated only by your action and is never used without your request. You may choose not to use it, with no impact on the rest of the service.

4 ter. Subscription and payment

If you take out a paid subscription, payment is handled by our provider Stripe (Stripe Payments Europe Ltd). Stibia neither collects nor stores your card details: they go directly to Stripe, which acts as a processor.

Stripe may transfer data outside the European Union, in particular to the United States; such transfers are governed by appropriate safeguards under the GDPR (the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses). Stripe processes this data in accordance with its own privacy policy.

We keep billing data (amount, date, transaction identifier, subscription status) for the legal retention period applicable to accounting records, namely ten years.

5. Data sharing

Stibia never sells, rents or transfers your personal data to third parties for commercial purposes.

Data may be shared in the following cases:

  • With other members of the platform: only the information you choose to make public (profile, public activities, competition results).
  • With members of your clubs: only if you enable result sharing in your settings.
  • With technical providers: hosting of the service on OVH servers located in France (European Union).
  • With an artificial-intelligence provider: only when you use the built-in AI Coach (see section 4 bis).
  • Legal obligations: if required by law or a competent authority.
  • With our payment provider: Stripe, solely to process your subscription (see section 4 ter).

6. Retention period

Each category has its own retention period:

  • Account data: kept for the entire duration of use of the service, then deleted within 30 days after account termination.
  • Activity data: kept as long as your account is active.
  • Garmin tokens: deleted immediately when the integration is disconnected.
  • Technical logs: kept for a maximum of 90 days.
  • Billing data: kept for ten years, the legal retention period for accounting records.

7. Your rights (GDPR)

In accordance with the GDPR, you have the following rights:

  • Right of access: obtain a copy of your data
  • Right to rectification: correct inaccurate data
  • Right to erasure: request deletion of your account and your data
  • Right to portability: receive your data in a structured format
  • Right to object: object to certain processing based on legitimate interest
  • Right to withdraw consent: at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing

To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@stibia.com. We undertake to respond within 30 days.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority: in France the CNIL (Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés), https://www.cnil.fr, or the authority of the country where you habitually reside.

8. Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data: HTTPS encryption, password hashing (bcrypt), restricted access to production data, regular backups.

9. Cookies

Stibia uses no tracking or advertising cookies. An authentication token is stored in your browser's local storage (localStorage) to keep your session, and is removed when you sign out. A cookie also keeps the language you chose, so that pages are served to you in that language.

10. Changes

We reserve the right to amend this policy at any time. In the event of a substantial change, you will be notified by email or through the application.
