Lenus eHealth ApS ("Lenus" or "we") respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it through the provision of our services and our compliance with this Privacy Policy.
The phrase “information about you” or “personal information” in this policy has the same meaning as “personal data” according to the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR)”, and means data we may use to identify you or that relates to you in other ways.
We have tried to make this Privacy Policy easy for you to read and understand. If you have questions or need additional information about how we process information about you, you may contact us as set out in Section 1 below.

1. Who is responsible for the processing of your personal information and our contact information
This Privacy notice covers the activities which Lenus performs as a data controller.
For the personal information Lenus collects about you as part of coaching services you receive, Lenus acts as a joint data controller with your coach, as Lenus has an ongoing collaboration with the coach and provides the technical platform and support for the coaching services you receive.
In practice, this means that the coach is responsible for contact with you and the content of coaching services you receive as a client. Lenus on the other hand, is responsible for the data processors involved in the platform, the security settings of the platform, including retention periods, and management of your data subject rights through our Support channel.
You may always reach out to both Lenus and your coach, should you have any concerns, questions or requests regarding our processing of your personal data and we will collaborate on providing you with the best response. You can read more about our joint data responsibility arrangement with your coach here.
The contact information of Lenus eHealth ApS, is:
Rued Langgaards Vej 8, 2300
Copenhagen, DK
If you have any privacy related questions, you may always reach out to us at email: privacy@lenus.io
Lenus also has appointed an external Data Protection Officer (DPO), who advises and supervises our processing of personal data in the EU. You may reach out to our DPO directly at email: lenus@complianceteam.dk
If you would like to complain to an official authority about Lenus’ processing of personal data, you may lodge a complaint with the Danish Data Protection Authority (‘Datatilsynet’), who may be contacted at https://www.datatilsynet.dk/kontakt/ring-til-os.

This may include contact information, your motivation and ambitions for your coaching program, your gender, age, information on your habits e.g. sleep, dietary preferences, work-outs, and other similar information as indicated therein. Please be aware that the specific information collected will depend on the specific Coach Website.
We do this to operate and to provide you with ongoing notices and information about your account.For example, notices on expiration and renewal as a part of your contract with a coach, which we are collaborating on performing. This we may do as it is necessary to perform the contract (cf. GDPR Art. 6,(1),(b)).
- User Contributions: Your images, status updates and other information which you may provide to be published, displayed or transmitted (collectively “posted”) on public areas of the App, as an example through the ‘Groups’ feature. Please note that you are always responsible for the content you post as User Contributions, and Lenus encourages you to do so thoughtfully.
- Location Data: This information will be collected automatically based on your use and input in the App, as an example when you record a fitness activity. For this to be applicable, you must first allow the App to access your location.
The App will access your location data from the moment you start recording the activity until the moment you stop the recording. To ensure that your full activity is recorded, we need to continue to access the location data if the App is in the background during the activity. You can remove the permission at any time by adjusting your device settings.
This processing will enable a history of your fitness activities, including (where eligible) duration, distance, speed, activity type and heart rate, as well as an overview of your fitness progression.
- Health or Fitness Data: Imported history of fitness activities from Apple Health or Google Fit. You must first allow the app to access your data from these sources. You can remove this permission at any time by adjusting your app settings.
We process your User Contributions, Location Data, Health or Fitness Data to operate the platform and to provide you with the platform features of your choice, as part of your contract with a coach, which we are collaborating on performing.

- Survey Input: Your responses to surveys that we or your coach might ask you to complete to provide you with a better service in the future based on your consent (cf. GDPR Art. 6,(1),(a)). In rare situations, these surveys may also include your health information, and in this case we will further process this data based on your explicit consent (cf. GDPR Art. 9,(2),(a). You are always able to recall the consent regarding the collected survey input by contacting us, but please be aware that this will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal, meaning that we will in most cases not be able to extract your input in the aggregated result of the survey.

- Records of phone conversations: When you have a conversation with one of Lenus’ Key Account Managers on Google Meet, this may be recorded for internal learning and development, including AI generated summaries and feedback on a pseudonymised level for the Key Account Managers to contemplate and develop from each conversation. You will be informed about this, when the meeting starts. The records will be managed in strict confidentiality and only shared with a selected number of persons in our data team, who ensures the functionality and data quality. We will keep this data segregated and not use the records for other purposes. We may do so based on the legitimate interest of Lenus in ensuring quality service and continuous improvement of our employees (cf. GDPR Art. 6, (1),(f)).

7. Data Security Measures to protect your personal data
We take the security of your personal data very seriously. We implement a range of technical and organizational measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures aim to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your data.
Our security practices include:
- Encryption and Pseudonymization: We may encrypt or pseudonymize your data where appropriate to protect it. Encryption transforms data into an unreadable format, while pseudonymization replaces identifying information with pseudonyms.
- Access Controls: We restrict access to your personal data to authorized personnel only who need it to perform their job duties. This includes measures such as access restrictions and logging of access.
- Data Backup: We maintain regular backups of our systems and data to help prevent data loss.
- Confidentiality Agreements: We have confidentiality agreements in place with our employees and any third-party service providers who have access to your personal data.
- Monitoring: We continuously monitor our systems for potential security breaches.
- Secure Transmission: We protect data transmitted between you and our website and mobile/desktop apps using TLS encryption.
While Lenus implements the necessary and appropriate security measures, it's important to acknowledge that no security system is foolproof. Security risks can never be completely eliminated, and some residual risks are unavoidable.
We want to emphasize that we can only secure the areas within our control. You also play a vital role in protecting your information. We recommend the following:
- Keep your login credentials confidential: Protect your usernames, passwords, and PIN codes and do not share them with others.
- Keep your devices secure: Ensure your devices (computers, phones, etc.) are free from viruses and malware.
- Be cautious in public areas: Be careful about disclosing personal information in public areas of our website, such as message boards.
