Your data, explained clearly.
Last updated: September 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how Movemetric collects, uses, and protects information across all products in the Movemetric suite. We are committed to protecting the privacy of students, educators, and institutions who use our tools.
Overview & Scope
This Privacy Policy applies to all products operated by Movemetric, collectively referred to as the "Movemetric Suite":
- ClassMetrics — Fitness assessment and roster management
- ClassMetrics HR — Heart-rate monitoring and MVPA documentation
- CoachSAGE — Video movement analysis for coaches and PE teachers
- Basal — Adaptive macro and energy tracking
- FitAI — AI-powered wellness coaching
- FieldTracker — Field experience management for teacher education programs
- PracticeSphere — Practice planning and team management for PE programs
- Reference Freshness Checker — Curriculum and reference material review tool
By accessing or using any product in the Movemetric Suite, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of our products.
Movemetric products are designed for use in educational settings. We take student privacy seriously and comply with applicable federal and state laws governing the privacy of student data.
Privacy by Tool
Each tool in the Movemetric Suite has a specific purpose and associated data profile. The following describes the data practices particular to each product.
ClassMetrics
Fitness AssessmentClassMetrics enables PE teachers to build class rosters, run fitness tests, and generate reports. Data handled by ClassMetrics may include:
- Student names and grade-level identifiers used for roster management
- Fitness test results (e.g., mile run, push-ups, flexibility) entered by the instructor
- Class and school identifiers associated with a teacher's account
- Exported reports generated from assessment sessions
Fitness data is entered by the instructor and associated with student records held by the school. ClassMetrics does not independently collect biometric data from students — all test values are manually entered by authorized educators.
ClassMetrics HR
Heart-Rate MonitoringClassMetrics HR focuses on time-in-target-heart-rate-zone tracking for MVPA (Moderate-to-Vigorous Physical Activity) documentation. Data handled may include:
- Heart-rate readings imported or entered by the instructor during class sessions
- Student session identifiers used to associate heart-rate data with roster entries
- Class period timestamps and MVPA duration calculations
- Instructional reports summarizing zone distribution across a class
Heart-rate data is sensitive health information. Readings are captured and calculated on the iPad. When an instructor signs in, a snapshot of classes, students and sessions is synced to that instructor's own account in Google Firebase (Firestore), so the same classes appear on a second iPad and survive a lost device. Signing in is optional: signed out, nothing leaves the iPad.
Instructors are responsible for complying with their institution's policies on student health data, and can reduce what is held by entering initials or student numbers instead of full names. Full details, including how to delete synced data, are on the ClassMetrics HR page.
CoachSAGE
Video AnalysisCoachSAGE records or imports a clip, plays it frame by frame, and can return AI feedback on a movement. Data handled may include:
- Video recorded or imported by the user, written into the app's own storage on the device
- Annotations, notes and exported stills created from a clip
- Six to eight still frames, sent to our analysis service only when the user requests feedback, and not retained afterwards
- A device identifier generated by us and held in the device keychain, used to count free analyses
Video is never uploaded and never stored by Movemetric. There are no accounts and no sync. Subscription status comes from Apple; payment details are never visible to us. Full details are on the CoachSAGE page.
Note: this app is often pointed at students. Users are responsible for having permission to record under their school's policy, and for how exported stills are shared.
Basal
Macro TrackingBasal is a personal macro tracker that adjusts its targets against a user's own intake and weight over time. Data handled may include:
- Apple Health data read with permission: weight, height, steps, workouts, energy burned and heart rate
- Meals, weights and targets logged in the app, held on the device
- The text of a meal description, sent to our parsing service to be converted into calories and macros
Health data is read and used on the device. It is never used for advertising, never sold, never shared, and never sent to the parsing service or to an AI provider. There are no accounts. Full details are on the Basal page.
FitAI
Wellness CoachingFitAI provides AI-powered wellness and fitness coaching recommendations. Data handled may include:
- Self-reported wellness information (e.g., activity level, goals, general fitness data) entered voluntarily by the user
- Coaching preferences and interaction history within a session
- Anonymized usage data used to improve recommendation quality
FitAI coaching responses are generated using AI and should not be used as a substitute for professional medical or health advice. Users should not enter personally identifying health information beyond what is required by the tool's prompts.
Note: FitAI is intended for use by adults and educators. It is not designed for direct use by students under 13. Institutions deploying FitAI to minors are responsible for obtaining appropriate consent.
FieldTracker
Field Experience ManagementFieldTracker supports university teacher education programs in managing field placements, observation logs, and competency assessments. Data handled may include:
- Student teacher names, contact information, and program enrollment identifiers
- Placement site details (cooperating school, grade level, mentor teacher name)
- Observation notes and competency ratings entered by university supervisors
- Submission logs and completion records for field experience requirements
FieldTracker handles data covered by FERPA for enrolled university students. Program administrators are responsible for ensuring that data entered into FieldTracker is consistent with their institution's FERPA policies and data agreements.
Movemetric does not share student teacher records with cooperating schools or third parties beyond what is needed to operate the platform.
PracticeSphere
Practice PlanningPracticeSphere helps PE teachers and coaches build practice plans, manage team rosters, and organize season schedules. Data handled may include:
- Teacher and coach account information (name, email, institution)
- Roster data including student or athlete names and grade/team assignments
- Practice plans, drills, and session notes created by the instructor
- Schedule and calendar data associated with a program
Practice content created in PracticeSphere is considered instructor-owned content. Movemetric will not use, repurpose, or distribute practice plan content created by users without explicit consent.
Reference Freshness Checker
Curriculum ReviewThe Reference Freshness Checker helps educators evaluate whether curriculum references and sources remain current. Data handled may include:
- URLs, citations, and text snippets submitted by the user for freshness analysis
- Recency ratings and review notes generated during a session
- Session-level usage data (no persistent account or user profile is created)
This tool operates primarily in the browser and does not require account creation. Submitted URLs and citations are used only to generate freshness assessments during the active session and are not stored long-term.
Information We Collect
Across the Movemetric Suite, we may collect the following categories of information:
Account Information
When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, institution or organization name, and role (e.g., teacher, program administrator). This information is used to authenticate your account and personalize your experience.
User-Entered Content
Information you enter into any Movemetric tool — including rosters, assessment scores, practice plans, field placement records, and coaching inputs — is treated as user content. You retain ownership of this content.
Student and Third-Party Records
When educators enter student data (names, performance records, heart-rate data) into Movemetric tools, that data is handled as described in each tool's section above and under our FERPA policy. Movemetric acts as a service provider to the institution, not as an independent data controller of student records.
Usage Data
We automatically collect certain technical information when you use our products, including browser type, device type, IP address, page views, and feature interactions. This data is used to monitor performance, diagnose errors, and improve the product.
Cookies & Local Storage
Movemetric tools use browser local storage and session cookies to maintain your login state and remember tool preferences. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.
How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide, operate, and maintain the Movemetric Suite of products
- Authenticate users and secure accounts
- Generate reports, assessments, and recommendations within each tool
- Respond to support requests and communicate important product updates
- Analyze anonymized usage patterns to improve product design and reliability
- Comply with legal obligations
We do not use student data to build advertising profiles, train commercial AI models without consent, or sell insights derived from student records to any third party.
Sharing & Disclosure
Movemetric does not sell personal information. We may share information only in the following circumstances:
- With your institution: Data entered by educators may be accessible to authorized administrators at the same institution.
- With service providers: We work with trusted vendors (e.g., cloud hosting, email delivery) who process data on our behalf under confidentiality agreements and are prohibited from using data for their own purposes.
- For legal compliance: We may disclose information when required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Movemetric, our users, or the public.
- With your consent: We may share information in other ways if you explicitly authorize us to do so.
We do not sell personal data. Movemetric does not sell, rent, or trade personal information or student data to any third party for marketing, advertising, or commercial purposes.
Storage & Security
Movemetric stores data on servers located in the United States. We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information, including:
- Encrypted data transmission (TLS/HTTPS) for all product communications
- Access controls limiting data access to authorized personnel
- Regular security reviews and vulnerability assessments
- Secure session management and authentication practices
While we take security seriously, no system is completely secure. We encourage users to use strong passwords and to report any suspected unauthorized access to support@movemetric.org.
Data Retention: We retain user account data and user-entered content for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. Upon account deletion or institutional contract termination, we will delete or anonymize data within a reasonable period, except where retention is required by law.
FERPA & COPPA
FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act)
Several Movemetric tools — particularly ClassMetrics, ClassMetrics HR, FieldTracker, and PracticeSphere — are designed for use in educational institutions that may be subject to FERPA. When schools or universities use Movemetric products to store or manage education records, Movemetric acts as a "school official" under FERPA, processing student data under the direction of the institution.
Institutions are responsible for determining whether their use of Movemetric tools is consistent with their FERPA obligations. Movemetric does not access, use, or disclose student education records except as authorized by the institution or required by law.
Institutions: If you require a FERPA data processing agreement or have questions about our FERPA practices, contact us at support@movemetric.org.
COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act)
Movemetric products are not directed to children under 13 for independent use. Our tools are designed for use by educators and program administrators, who are responsible for managing any data related to students in their care.
Movemetric does not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. If a school or educator enters data about students under 13 into a Movemetric tool, the educator acts as the responsible party, and such data is handled under the school's authority consistent with COPPA's school official exception.
If you believe we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13, please contact us immediately at support@movemetric.org and we will take prompt action to remove it.
Your Rights
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the following rights with respect to your personal data:
- Access: Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
- Correction: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Deletion: Request deletion of your personal data, subject to certain legal exceptions.
- Portability: Request an export of your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
- Opt-out: Opt out of non-essential communications at any time by following unsubscribe instructions in any email.
For student data governed by FERPA, rights of access and correction belong to the student (or parent/guardian if the student is under 18) and must be exercised through the educational institution.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@movemetric.org. We will respond within 30 days.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or product offerings. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify users via email or in-app notice.
Continued use of Movemetric products after a policy update constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
