You care what happens to your data on the net? myTRS is designed to require nearly no personal information from you. We respect your privacy.
We don’t want to know anything we’re not supposed to care about.
This begins with the registration and storage of user data: We are not interested in your gender or your name. You can name your myTRS user as you wish: Just as with the required e-mail address, the user name does not have to relate to your identity. myTRS does not need to know anything about your individual characteristics or interests, because: What we don’t know, we can’t store. And what we don’t store cannot be stolen or misused. This is how we think an application should work: According to a reasonable minimum principle.
Sensors everywhere?
And this is one of the reasons why myTRS works completely without sensors: Sensitive, body-related data can be used to deduce a whole bunch of (erroneous) interpretations, which may then fall into the hands of unauthorized persons. And apart from the fact that a sensor-based system would not allow the later recording of your workouts: We simply don’t want to take this risk of data misuse in your interest.
Cookies
By the way, we also have a similar view of the cookie topic: We use technically necessary cookies, which are normally deleted when the Internet browser is closed. However, we intentionally do not use so-called tracking cookies, which observe and record the behaviour of the user or which are used for advertising purposes. So nobody can make money out of your usage data, but no matter: We feel obliged first and foremost to you, our customer.
Visibility
By the way, in myTRS you determine yourself what should happen to your data: You can define training partners and open certain areas of your data for them to view. Or you can nominate a substitute who maintains your data in myTRS instead of you and therefore needs extensive control over your data.
Safety and security
And finally you can and should back up your data: In myTRS you can export your trainings as XML files and analyze them in other programs for further evaluation.
