Version 2.1
Privacy Policy
What Cam Lab collects when you use Motion or MotionX, why, and what you can do about it.
In short
- We collect what the Service needs to work: your account, your profile, the footage you upload, the skeletal data we extract from it, and how you use the app.
- We cannot see your password. It is stored only in a scrambled form that cannot be turned back into the original, so nobody here can read or recover it — only reset it.
- We record how the product is used, including replays of app sessions, to find what is broken and confusing. Form fields are masked in those recordings.
- We may use de-identified skeletal data to improve our analysis models. Not your video, not your face, not your name — and you can switch it off in Settings.
- We do not sell your data, and we do not share it for advertising.
- You can export your data, correct it, or delete your account and the data with it, from Settings.
A plain-language summary, for orientation only. The numbered sections below are what actually applies.
This Privacy Policy explains how Cam Lab ("we", "us", "our") handles personal information in the Motion web application at motion.cam-lab.org, the MotionX iOS application, and everything connected to them. It applies to athletes, coaches, club administrators, and visitors.
For the purposes of the UK and EU GDPR, Cam Lab is the controller of the personal data described here. Where a club uses the Service to manage its own athletes, the club is a separate controller of what it does with the analyses and rosters it receives, and this policy does not cover the club's own decisions.
Your controls in Motion
Everything this policy says you can change lives in Settings. None of it needs an email to us first, unless a row says so.
01What we collect
- Account and identity.
- Your name, email address, and — if you sign up or sign in by phone — your mobile number, its country, and whether it has been verified by SMS code. If you sign in using an account you already hold with another provider, we receive the name and email address that provider releases to us. Passwords are stored only in a scrambled form; we do not hold the original and cannot recover it.
- Profile and body data.
- Optional details you choose to give: height, weight, gender, date of birth, handedness, primary sport, fitness level, goals, and injury notes. These personalise analysis, reference bands and coaching, and you can leave any of them blank or clear them at any time. Health-related details such as injury notes are treated as sensitive and are never used for model training or advertising.
- Footage and images.
- The videos, images and live camera frames you upload or record. Footage is processed to extract movement data and, at present, is stored so that you — and the coaches you have chosen to share with — can replay the analysis. How long we keep it is set out under Retention.
- Motion and skeletal data.
- The output of the movement analysis: the estimated positions of your major joints in each frame, plus everything computed from them — joint angles, stroke or stride timings, phase segmentation, symmetry, scores, grades and quality flags. This is described further in its own section below.
- Coaching and club data.
- Club and squad membership, your role, attendance and RSVP records, lineups and seat assignments, coach comments and published reports, chat messages in club channels, check-ins and RPE ratings, and the athlete an analysis is tagged to.
- Training and hardware data.
- Workouts, plans, goals, streaks, and — if you connect them — workout history from a training-log service you link, and live data from a compatible machine monitor over Bluetooth, including distance, split, stroke rate, and heart rate if a belt is paired.
