NUTIS privacy policy
Last updated: 09-04-2021
Our identity and scope of this Policy
This website nutis.com.ua (the “Website”) and the application Nutis (the “Application”) belong to Nutis, a trade name owned by Lysin Serhii Sergeevich, an individual entrepreneur registered in Ukraine (registration with the Registry 3770009890 dated 06-04-2021) (the “Company”).
This Privacy Policy applies to all users of the Website and its subdomains, whether or not they register, and to all users of the Application. The application of this Privacy Policy is irrelevant to the territorial scope, applying to all users from the moment you open our Website or our Application, no matter where your devices and you are physically located.
The use of our Website and Application must comply with the Terms of Use and this Policy. We would strongly recommend reading the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 to know your rights.
We act as a data controller and a data processor. When you first encounter our software and type in your personal data, we process it as a data controller. However, once you use our Website or Application to contact your trainer or nutrition expert, we are acting as a data processor and the trainer or nutrition expert is a data controller with respect to your personal data.
Data we collect and process
Our Website and Application cannot work and be useful without processing your personal data. Despite that we have reviewed and limited the data collection and the period of retention of the data to the minimum necessary. We are interested in providing you with a safe and comfortable instrument of keeping track of your nutrition and exercise without jeopardizing or invading your privacy.
We divided the typical use scenario into two roles: Clients and Trainers. Depending on your use case, you can be attributed to one of them as follows:
-
Clients are interested in recording their daily habits and restrictions and are looking for advice from the nutrition expert;
-
Trainers use the Website or Application to supervise or monitor their clients’ daily choices in the course of their service.
We do not intentionally collect nor process personal data of children who have not reached 16 years. If you are based in the European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA), you may only use our Website or Application if you are over the age at which you can provide consent to data processing under the laws of your country or if verifiable parental consent for your use of our Website and Application has been provided to us. If you are a parent and you learn that your child is using our Website or Application and you don’t want them to, please contact nutisgb@gmail.com.
We will never show users’ precise location to other users.
Trainer’s personal data:
We act as a data controller with respect to your personal data provided to us to use the Website or Application. However, be aware that in case you collect or process personal data of the persons that are currently accessing our Website or Application from the territory of the European Union, you must comply with the applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation and applicable national laws.
If you use our Website or Application to monitor the activity of your mentees (Clients), you thus become the data controller with respect to their data, and we process their personal data on your behalf as your data processor.
To use our Website or Application, you must sign on as a user.

Client’s personal data:
Please, be aware that your personal data can be collected by the Trainers you authorise to mentor you (onboard) using the QR code.
Normally, we collect your personal data as a data controller until you employ a Trainer (or a few) to monitor your activity.

Be aware that your relationship is not limited by the use of our Website or Application. Your Trainer(s) may request supplementary personal data or record by observation, which may range from “simple” personal data categories (such as your middle name or patronym, billing data, payment data, etc.) to data considered as “special” (for instance, your race, health information, clinical history, food history, other body measurements beyond the personal data you have already disclosed on the Website or Application). We do not have access to this data if you provided it to the Trainer offline or through other websites or applications, and thus cannot be held liable with respect to the abuse of this data by your Trainer(s) or third parties. In the likely manner we cannot be held liable for the actions or omissions of the Trainer(s) acting as a data controller with respect to your personal data.

Lawful basis and Purposes of the processing
We can collect and process your data only if we have a suitable lawful basis to do so. Currently, General Data Protection Regulation allows us to use only six such prerequisites to data processing. Normally, we determine the purposes and ensure that they are based on the suitable lawful basis such as follows:
-
some features are only available if you give us your consent (such us use of geolocation or notification mechanisms installed on your device);
-
the performance of the contract (when you register an account, you agree to be party to our Terms of Use);
-
a legal obligation (for instance, to prevent money laundering or submit tax-related information to the respective authority);
-
our legitimate interests (development of the Website and Application, including the development of new functions, as well as bug fixing, deciding on our marketing strategy, prevention of fraud, etc.).
The choice of a particular lawful basis depends on the case.
To summarize, we use your personal data for the following purposes:
-
Performance of the contract: to provide you with the service: we need your data to identify you and give you access to the features of the Website or Application pursuant to the Terms of Use, to provide the customer support (e.g. if you encounter any issues that adversely affect your user experience), disclose your personal data to new Trainer(s) at your request (when you scan their QR), maintain your account, enable you to contact with others or store your information to be monitored by the Trainer(s), etc;
-
A legal obligation: we process your data when we keep billing records, respond to your data subject requests or requests issued by the state or local authorities pursuant to the EU or national law, and we are legally compelled to process the data for the purposes of fighting money laundering, fraud, abuse or other crimes, provided that, however, we are legally compelled to do so (for instance, if we have received court orders, a warrant or other requests issued by the authority);
-
Our legitimate interests: for maintenance, improvement of services (including the Website and the Application), bug fixing, tech support, security (to prevent or deal with suspicious or fraudulent activity), verification of your identity if you file a request, as well as generalized analysis for business development (we determine whether a particular feature is useful to the Users and change or correct the services we offer you); we can use some of your data for our marketing activities (send you emails, notifications, text messages within the Website and Application about our special offers or new functions that may be of interest for you).You can choose to refuse tailored advertisements in the Settings menu of your device.
We do not intend to use the automated decision-making to cause any legal or similarly significant effect on our users. We do not sell users’ personal data to third persons.
Retention and Storage
We cannot foresee the precise amount of time we need to process your personal data. However, we write down the pointers and criteria to help you envisage the retention period.
Method of collection
Retention period
Registration and usage history
As long as your account is active.
We may retain your data for 12 months after your last login, just in case you decide to proceed using our Website or Application.
The retention period can be extended in the case your data is subject to any legal proceeding or we are legally compelled to retain them (for instance, if you have an ongoing dispute with your Trainer(s) or Client(s) and the personal data we hold are used as evidence).
Location:
As long as you allow us to collect the geolocation data. You may withdraw your consent to collection of geolocation data at any time using the Settings of your device.

After you disable the collection of your geolocation data, we retain the data as long as your account is active (included in the usage history that the Client or Trainer with extended functionality can see).
The retention period can be extended in the case your data is subject to any legal proceeding or we are legally compelled to retain them (for instance, if you have an ongoing dispute with your Trainer(s) and the personal data we hold are used as evidence).
