Privacy Policy (IQ2 Configurator)
This Privacy Policy explains how IQ2 Limited ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and protects your information when you use the IQ2 configurator mobile application (the "App"). The App is designed exclusively to interface with our separately purchased bicycle pedal power meters.
This policy is designed to comply with applicable privacy laws in the United States (including state laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act) and the Asia-Pacific region (including frameworks such as Hong Kong's PDPO and Singapore's PDPA).
1. Information We Collect
We adhere strictly to the principle of data minimization. We only collect data necessary for the App to function and communicate with your hardware. We do not collect background location, GPS data, financial information, or biometrics.
A. Information You Provide to Us
- Account Credentials: Email address and an encrypted password.

B. Automatically Collected Usage and Hardware Data When the App is actively connected to the power meter pedal, we collect and transmit the following operational data to our servers:
- Session duration
- Average power output (Watts)
- Cadence (Revolutions Per Minute / RPM)
- Hardware telemetry (e.g., connection stability, firmware version, and battery status)
2. How We Use Your Information
By registering an account and using the App, you consent to the collection and use of your data exclusively for the following functional purposes:
- To create, authenticate, and manage your user account.
- To establish and maintain the wireless connection (e.g., Bluetooth/ANT+) between the power meter pedals, the App, and your bike computer.
- To process, log, and display your cadence and power metrics.
- To provide technical support, diagnose connection issues, and develop firmware updates based on aggregated usage information.
3. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We only share your data in the following restricted circumstances:
- Service Providers: We engage trusted third-party vendors (such as cloud hosting providers) to store data and maintain our server infrastructure. These providers are contractually bound to process data only on our instructions and subject to strict confidentiality requirements.
- Legal Obligations: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, court order, or governmental regulation, or to protect the rights, property, and safety of our company and users.
4. Cross-Border Data Transfers
As a service operating across Asia and the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in data centers located outside your country of residence (for example, transferring data from Asia to servers in the United States, or vice versa). By using the App, you consent to this transfer. We utilize strict security protocols and contractual safeguards to ensure your data remains protected regardless of where it is hosted.
5. Data Retention
We retain your personal information only for as long as your account remains active or as needed to provide you with the App's services. If you delete your account, your email address, password, and associated performance data will be permanently deleted from our active servers within [Number, e.g., 30] days, except where retention is required by law.
6. Your Privacy Rights

7. Children's Privacy
The App is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 13 in the United States (under the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, COPPA) or the equivalent minimum age of digital consent in your specific Asian jurisdiction.
