Privacy

How your data is handled

This tool reads your activities from Garmin with the API key you give it, packs them into a ZIP for you to download, and then deletes everything.

What is handled, and for how long

Your Garmin API key
Used once, in memory, to get a temporary access token from Garmin. It is never saved and never written to logs.
Garmin access token
Kept only in the server's memory while your export runs, and discarded when it finishes, fails or expires. Garmin limits it to 24 hours.
Your activity list
Date, type, name, distance and duration of each workout, so you can choose what to export. Deleted when your export finishes, or 1 hour after connecting if you don't start one.
Your activity files
The original .fit files, which can include GPS location, heart rate, power and other sensor data. They are downloaded only to build your ZIP. The ZIP is deleted 48 hours after it is ready.
Export summary
Counts per activity type and year, shown on your export page. Deleted together with the ZIP, or 48 hours after an export fails.
Your IP address
Held in memory for up to 1 hour to limit how often exports can be started from one connection. It is not written to disk or logs.

After that, all that remains is a record that an export took place: when, and how many activities it contained. Nothing in it identifies you.

What this tool does not do

Your export link

While an export is running or ready, its page address contains a long random code. Anyone with that link can see the progress and download the ZIP until it expires, so don't share it.

Where it runs

The tool runs on servers of the hosting provider Fly.io in Frankfurt, Germany. Fly.io processes connection data, such as IP addresses, to deliver the site.

Your Garmin key

You stay in control of access to your Garmin data. You can delete your key at any time in Garmin Connect, which immediately stops this tool from reading anything, including an export that is still running. Garmin's own privacy policy applies to your Garmin account.
