Latida Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 22, 2026
1. Who we are
Latida LLC ("Latida", "we") is an indoor cycling platform used by fitness studios and their members. When you ride a class at a studio that uses Latida, you check in by scanning the studio's QR code or using the Latida iPhone and Apple Watch apps. We show your live stats during class and send you a ride summary afterwards.
This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
2. Information we collect
INFORMATION YOU GIVE US
- Your name, phone number and email address when you check in.
- Your settings, such as whether you want ride summaries by text or email.
RIDE DATA
- Power (watts) and cadence (RPM), measured by the studio's bikes. Calories and simulated distance are calculated from your power output.
- Your bike number, the class you rode, and the studio where you rode it.
HEART RATE
Heart rate is optional. It can come from any of these:
- Apple Watch: through the Latida watch app and Apple HealthKit, with your permission.
- Heart-rate monitors: chest straps, armbands and watches that broadcast heart rate over ANT+ or Bluetooth, received by equipment in the studio and paired to your account.
- Garmin Connect: if you connect your Garmin account (see section 5).
HEART-RATE MONITOR IDENTIFIERS
Latida's studio radios receive the signal of heart-rate monitors broadcasting nearby, including each monitor's device number and manufacturer. This is how a monitor is connected to a rider.
- A monitor is linked to your account only after you confirm it is yours, or after you enter its number yourself.
- If we think a monitor may be yours, based on your ride data, we ask you to confirm before linking it. Nothing is linked without your confirmation.
- Data from monitors not linked to anyone carries no name or contact details and is deleted within 90 days.
LOCATION
We do not collect your location.
3. How we use your information
- Live stats on the studio screen during class, such as power, heart rate and heart-rate zones.
- Ride summaries by text or email after class.
- Your ride history, personal records and progress over time.
- Connecting your heart-rate monitor to your rides, as described above.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for advertising.
4. Health and fitness data
Heart rate and other fitness data are used only to provide the Latida experience to you.
- Data from Apple HealthKit is never used for advertising and is never shared with third parties for marketing.
- Data you choose to send to a connected service, such as Strava, is shared only at your request (see section 5).
5. Garmin Connect Integration and Health Data
When you choose to connect your Garmin Connect account to Latida, Garmin asks you to approve what Latida can access. This connection is subject to strict privacy controls.
How we use your data: We use your Garmin data only to provide Latida features to you:
- Activities you record on your Garmin device during class, to combine your heart rate with your bike's power and cadence in your ride summary and history, and to recognize your device in future classes.
- Health data, such as resting heart rate, heart-rate variability and sleep, to personalize your effort targets and show your fitness progress over time.
- Workouts: at your request, we send a class to your Garmin device so you can ride it again on your own.
We do not use your Garmin data for any other tracking or profiling, and we will never sell or share it with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional use.
Disconnecting your account: You can revoke Latida's access to your Garmin Connect account at any time:
- in your Latida rider profile, by selecting "Disconnect Garmin";
- or in the Garmin Connect app, by removing Latida from your connected apps.
When you disconnect, we stop receiving your Garmin data and permanently delete the Garmin data we hold about you.
Requesting data deletion: You can also ask us to permanently delete your Garmin data at any time without disconnecting. Use the "Delete My Data" option in your Latida rider profile, or email [email protected] with the subject "Garmin Data Deletion." All of your Garmin data will be permanently erased from our active databases.
Strava
- If you connect Strava, we upload your rides to your Strava account.
- You can disconnect at any time.

7. Studios
The studio where you ride uses Latida to run its classes. Authorized staff at that studio can see your check-ins and summarized ride data for classes there.
8. Text messages
