Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 15, 2026

Who We Are

Kanarie, Inc. ("Kanarie," "we," "us," or "our") is a Delaware corporation headquartered in Louisville, Colorado. We operate a field-testing service (the "Service") that integrates with user devices to turn athlete activity data and tester feedback into structured product insights for brands.

This Privacy Policy describes the personal information we collect and how we process it in connection with the Service, including our text message (SMS) program.

Scope

This Policy applies to every individual who participates in a Kanarie field test (each, a "Participant"), whether a Kanarie staff member testing internally on a personal device or an external tester who enrolls in a field test program. It also applies to anyone who enrolls in the Kanarie text message program described in the Text Message (SMS) Program section below, and to anyone who visits our website or submits a form on it, as described in the Website Visitors section below.

Kanarie field tests are currently running at limited scale as we onboard our first brand partners. The practices described in this Policy govern every Participant regardless of that scale, and we follow them today.

Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of personal information from Participants:

Contact Information

Name, email address, and — if you choose to enroll in our text message program — your mobile phone number and your record of consent.

Activity and Device Data

Data generated by your fitness device or app, such as steps, distance, speed, elevation, and GPS/location data associated with recorded activities.

Health and Fitness Metrics

Metrics recorded by your device, such as heart rate and sleep data.

Device Identifiers

Identifiers for the devices and applications you connect to the Service.

Tester Feedback

Survey responses, ratings, and written feedback you submit about products you are testing.

How We Use Information

We use the personal information we collect to:

  • Operate, develop, test, and improve the Service;
  • Match Participants to field tests and deliver test instructions and materials;
  • Generate product performance insights for the brand sponsoring a given field test;
  • Send you the transactional and program messages described in the Text Message (SMS) Program section; and
  • Respond to your questions and provide support.

Insights we provide to brand partners are derived from tester data. We do not provide brand partners with your mobile phone number or your text messaging consent record.

Text Message (SMS) Program

Kanarie operates a text message program that sends field-testing notifications to Participants who opt in. Participation is entirely voluntary and is not a condition of any purchase or of participating in a field test.

Consent

We send text messages only to Participants who have provided express written consent by opting in — for example, by submitting a Kanarie enrollment form that includes the messaging disclosures, or by texting a keyword to our number. We retain a record of that consent.

Message Content and Frequency

Messages relate to your field-testing activity: test start and end reminders, requests to complete feedback surveys, shipment and equipment notices, and similar program messages. Message frequency varies.

Cost

Message and data rates may apply. Kanarie does not charge for these messages; your mobile carrier's standard rates apply.

Opting Out

You may opt out at any time by replying STOP to any message from us. You will receive a single confirmation message and no further messages will be sent. You may rejoin at any time by replying START or by re-enrolling.

Getting Help

Reply HELP to any message from us for assistance, or contact us using the details in the Contact Us section below.

How We Handle Mobile Information

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. All of the categories described in this Policy exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

We share your mobile phone number only with the licensed messaging service providers that transmit messages on our behalf, and only for the purpose of delivering the messages you have asked to receive. Those providers are contractually prohibited from using your information for any other purpose.

Website Visitors

This section describes the information we collect when you visit the Kanarie website, whether or not you are a Participant.

Website Analytics

We use a third-party, privacy-focused analytics service to understand how our website is used, such as which pages are visited, how visitors arrive at the site, and the general type of device and browser used. To provide this service, the analytics provider processes technical information sent by your browser, such as your IP address, browser type, referring page, and the pages you view. We use this information only in aggregate form to measure and improve our website. Our analytics service does not use cookies, and we do not use it to identify individual visitors or to track you across other websites.

Information You Submit Through Our Website

If you choose to fill out a form on our website, we collect the information you provide:

  • Demo requests: your name, email address, company, and any message you include.
  • Tester waitlist: your name, email address, and, if you provide them, the sports and activities you participate in and your general location.
  • Newsletter sign-up: your name, email address, and, if you provide it, your company.

We use this information to respond to your request, to contact you about becoming a Participant, and, if you subscribe, to send you our newsletter. You may unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time using the link included in each email. Form submissions are processed and stored by the service providers that operate our forms and email lists on our behalf.

Cookies and Third-Party Resources

We do not use cookies or similar technologies to track website visitors for analytics or advertising. Our website loads fonts and code libraries from third-party content delivery networks, which receive standard technical information, such as your IP address, when your browser requests those resources.

How We Share Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share it only as follows:

  • Service providers. Vendors that host our systems, deliver our messages, and provide support tooling, acting on our instructions and bound by confidentiality obligations.
  • Brand partners. Aggregated and individual field-test findings, excluding your mobile phone number and text messaging consent record.
  • Legal and safety. Where required by law, legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of Kanarie or others.
  • Business transfers. In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to this Policy.

Artificial Intelligence and Third-Party Processing

Device and Activity Data

"Device and activity data" means data we receive from connected devices and fitness platforms (such as Garmin Connect), including any metrics or profiles we derive from it. We do not share, sell, or otherwise make device and activity data available to any external artificial intelligence (AI) provider or third-party AI service. It is not submitted to any external AI service for processing or analysis, and it is not used to train, fine-tune, or improve any third-party AI or machine learning model.

How We Process It

We process device and activity data only on systems Kanarie controls, including infrastructure operated on our behalf by cloud hosting providers under contracts that restrict their use of the data. This processing may include Kanarie's own analytical and machine-learning models, which we use to provide the Service to you and to the brands you have chosen to share data with. We may also combine device and activity data into aggregated, anonymized data that cannot reasonably be used to identify you, and use it to produce market and product insights. We do not attempt to re-identify anonymized data, and we require anyone who receives it to agree not to try.

Automated Processing

Kanarie's own models may use your device and activity data to suggest product tests that fit your activity profile. We will ask you to opt in before this processing begins, and you can opt out at any time.

Garmin Connect

If you connect a Garmin account, we will ask for your express consent before we receive any data from Garmin. You can disconnect at any time in your account settings. Data we received from Garmin will be deleted when you disconnect or close your account, or when you ask us to delete it.

Changes

We will notify you before we change how device and activity data is processed under this section.

Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, or as required by law. Text messaging opt-in and consent records are retained for as long as you remain enrolled and for a reasonable period afterward to demonstrate compliance.

Your Choices

You may opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP. You may also disconnect a linked device or app at any time, or contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information. We will respond to such requests as required by applicable law.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the Service develops. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Material changes affecting the text message program will be communicated to enrolled Participants.
